Bangkok with Girlfriends

Oct 17, 2009 22:36

Hey everyone! I'm back from my awesome Bangkok trip with the awesome bunch of girlfriends, like say 5 months ago?

yes i know, got spider web already but today have been the day that i finally uploaded all the photos i am blogging about on my photobucket account. actually come to think of it, 5 months a bit too melampau. so many things happened within the span of this 5 months you know, i am now working in a different firm, hari raya also finish already until deepavali is here, i still haven't blog about the trip i went in MAY. tsk tsk tsk.

but then again, better late than never. kan kekawan?

so all of us went, except for xuxanna cause her parents thought that all 6 of us are going to join a riot in Bangkok. -_-



we flew to Bangkok on Thursday night, AFTER WORK, yaw. very ambitious, i know

met inez, adi & ding for dinner at Popeyes






shazzie joined us a while after, together with the whole universe of stars





AIRASIA BABY!

met samantha before checking in & decided to laze around starbucks & filled up our forms





damn excitedz you know

FORM FILLING
i swear form filling have never been this kecoh lor! we made countless mistakes, ONE AFTER ANOTHER and us being us, everything was hilarious













oh! and guess who sammy brought with her. HAHAHA





WE ARE READY TO GO

the plan was to be adventurous and roam around Bangkok when we landed and check in to our awesome hostel the next day. but because the plane seats were uncomfortable and shaz & i had work earlier, we decided to check in early that night.





for a small hostel i thought the reception was pretty ok considering that the front desk girl was able to speak english! hostel eh, damn cheap & good. and this was BEFORE we found out about greater and more awesome stuff they provide in the hostel. ;)

we got changed and headed nearby for a quick & cheap supper. the first thing we grabbed along the streets was this sinful banana prata thingie with milk. *faints



we couldn't really find a good place to settle down so we decide on this place which we thought was a-ok. BUT THE FOOD WASSSS... damn pathetic. and it was quite ex!









even my face is bigger lor. the serving is not even small, its smaller than tiny

we called it a day after supper.

the next morning, was one hell of a shopping day, from early in the morning to very late at night. non-stop shopping; even though my feet were cursing, i just walked and walked and walked and walked.



our hostel provide breakfast! which i thought was not bad at all










where she belongs, like totally

our first plan for the day was to head to Bobae Tower. did our research and found out that this place sell wholesale stuff. so we braved the road of Bangkok, took the train and




ALMOST got conned by the tuk tuk driver. it was quite scary hor! we wanted to feeling2 tourist so decided to take the tuk tuk to Bobae Tower; so approached this tuk tuk driver. he said his tuk tuk could fit all of us. he thinks its funny you know. i alone took up 3 quarter of the space already. so another of his "colleague" joined him. we split 3 in each tuk tuk. and somehow they parked their tuk tuks a little further in front, SIDE BY SIDE. so the tuk tuk i was in, together with nezzie & adi was blocked by the ones with shaz, sam & ding in it. they started telling us that Bobae Tower was not opened yet and wanted to bring us to some Thai Silk center (was it?) or something like that, some tourisy place ah. and obviously we did our research and we KNEW that Bobae was already opened lor. so shaz being a gangster asked us to leave the tuk tuk. so imagine I had to squeeze myself out from the damn tuk tuk even though it was blocked. yes, I, ME, who is bigger than the elephant managed to SQUEEZE between the tuk tuk. am so proud of myself.

we treated ourselves to awesome thai ice tea after NEARLY getting conned and took a cab to Bobae instead



TADAAAA

banyak dia punya 'Bobae not open yet, too early'. too early nenek kau. setan

Bobae was huge but the stuff they have there is hmmm, should i just say, less appealing so shaz being awesome suggested we head down to Platinum Mall.

DO YOU KNOW THAT DURING MY FIRST TRIP TO BANGKOK WITH MY BF & HIS FRIENDS, THEY DID NOT BRING ME TO PLATINUM MALL. VERY DENGKI RIGHT!!!

I've concluded that: PLATINUM MALL IS BETTER THAN SEX. i swear.






it was FUCKING huge. and we went crazy at Platinum. and i mean literally went crazy. i think if a mad person were to see us, he will call us crazy. if you go to Bangkok, PLEASE GO TO PLATINUM, platinum boomz





whacked fucking cheap lunch at their food court



one of the shops we went crazy in

blogging about platinum makes me depressed.

anyways, we went to Suan Lum Night Market (right?) for dinner and some more shopping










i didn't like the concept / food / shopping. thats why my face become like this




ding & inez who were with me didn't like the place as well. so we left to the hostel first before shaz & her gang continued shopping. got wild at the hostel cause of some hot stuff madness. hahahaha



the purchases for 1st day (:

the next morning, dressed in blues & pinks, we decided to hit Chacutak













while waiting for the cab. i like my picture, even though i think i look like a tv & my eyes are almost non-existence

this one is classic. shazzie, sammy & i are the only people with auto roaming service. which means that we canNOT take the cab together at any one point. but its quite safe cause shazzie & i will never be in the same cab. BUT that fateful morning, i decided to charge my mobile at the reception AND HAPPILY LEFT WITHOUT TAKING MY MOBILE WITH ME

and the people who was sharing the cab with me was adi & ding. wah, panic you know. if chacutak small never mind.

so being awesome people, we did mentioned that if we go to chacutak and got lost, we'll meet at the clock tower, which is in the middle of the market. so ding, adi & i headed straight to the clock tower, full of hope. only to find random thai people around and not shazzie / sammy / nezzie.

but we found a public phone and decided to try our luck. use public phone in Bangkok leh. call shaz, no reception, call sam, the phone rang. damn hopeful already right. BUT SAM DID NOT ANSWER HER CALL. i nearly cried you know.










so we gave up after calling her for 8765433 times. and did something else which was as awesome. shaz did mention that if all of us put our mind on one particular thing, it will happen. so, like i said, us being awesome we put our minds together and chant in our hearts for them to head to the clock tower. ok at least I DID! AND GUESS WHAT!

the three of them appeared lah!



hail the clock tower

wah i tell you, damn drama. when we found each other, we were shrieking and hugging each other like never meet for 10 years you know. haha. after that, ape lagi, whack chacutak. where i busted my bank account. so much of going to bangkok with the mindset of not really shopping. after platinum & chacutak, 500 SGD gone. pantat







we had lunch at some muslim stall & of course we continued shopping. =D



headed back to wash up & get ready for dinner. i swear the cab driver got no feeling one. i ask him so many things. and all he did was ignore me. upset you know.

but never mind. cause i bought an awesome pair of shoes at Chacutak. love love



shaz (yes, being awesome) decided to treat us to a cruise dinner. so we dressed up & were all ready for it, yaw







siantar & ding bought this awesome bag for my birthday present. love it love it love it!



after adi got sexually harassed by a cab driver, we made it a point to snap a picture with the other drivers after that. haha

CRUISE DINNER BAYBEEEEE















food was a good buffet spread which inez was unable to enjoy cause he caught a flu!







we were seated on the first level of the cruise, together with the old crowd. so after dinner we decided to get some fresh air and found some awesome thing going on at the upper deck!!!













IT WAS AN IRANIAN PARTY & WE TOTALLY CRASHED IT. HAHAHAHA
damn happening can! like EVERYONE of them were dancing. EVERY SINGLE ONE. must be a celebration after the war.

hyped up already right, we went back to the boring lower deck, AND ROCKED THE HOUSE. hahahahahaha









while we were prancing around, the people were just looking. and some old random gross jap guys who were with another 'working' thai girl joined us, showing off his disgusting moves

and presenting to you, the awesome HOT stuff back at our hostel. he's so hot we named him "Royal Hotness". melampau right. hahahaha



and because nezzie wasn't able to savour the food during dinner, we PACKED prawns from the spread and check out what she does as soon as she took her shower & was no longer feeling sick. how can inez go without food one. if can, i buy 4D



last minute shopping back at Plantinum & Chacutak for the last day before sam, shaz & i head back home





being as poor as we can be at the airport
















it was one hell of a trip with the girlfriends. from non stop shopping to the very last sip of the countless thai milk tea-s we whacked, it was worth every moment of it.

needless to say, it was an awesome trip.

i miss you girls!

XOXO

girlfriends; holiday
