Heylow! Finally get the chance back for more blogage. Bangkok trip was grawesome, my second time travelling overseas on an airplane without parents around but just friends. Just gonna be a wordy post because photos are not with me yet. Lol.
Once again, an early morning flight. So met up with the three girls, Weishan, Jolene and Yaping at the airport. We took our time to check-in, have breakfast and finally strolled in to our gate and it was then we realised that our flight was already Last Calling! Lol then we ran all the way on board. Took about 1.5 hours flying over there and finally touched down safely. The anticipation towards Chatuchak market lies within and so we went to check-in to our hotel, the tallest building in Bangkok and the room was huge! Left our luggage and left for the market.
Cabbed down and it was my first time to Chatuchak market, so we took the whole day shopping there and trust me, it was way big and really exhausting. Lol. Back at the hotel, intended to leave for dinner then followed by night market but waited for Jasmine and family to arrive at the hotel first. Had a buffet dinner in the hotel (thanks Jas' mum for the treat) and we were told after that when the taxi driver told us that the night market wasn't open for the night, so we called it a day then.
Second day started off rough, intended to go MBK as early as possible not to waste anytime but we were tricked by this Tuktuk driver which brought us around to god-knows-where in order to claim for his free gasoline, according to what he says. I was so pissed by the second destination that he brought us to that i asked him to drive us to MBK right away or i'm not gonna pay him any money. At first we still thought that he was a nice guy and such but humans are really hard to trust though. Finally arrived at MBK and yet he still asked for 50bhat per person! I was so raged and i just pushed the 80bhat in my hand to him and we walked away. Ridiculous.
And yet another day spent in MBK shopping for the whole day, finally managed to finish shopping the whole mall. Had pig's limb rice for lunch, best ever as always and Mac for dinner. Pork burger and the fries are really tasty there! Back hotel to drop stuff and off to Patpong night market. The girls were MTO-ed by the people by the roadside asking to watch those sexual shows and such and i was disappointed because the night market became so quiet, so empty now as compared to my last visit. Expected to spend at least the whole night there but in the end we took around 1hr and we'd finished for the night, back to hotel and called it a day.
Third day morning was alright, had Mac for breakfast and the Sausage McMuffin there is nice! Walked over to the Platinum shopping mall and yet another day spent in the mall. The malls there are so big that you at least need one day to finish shopping the whole mall. Shopping with the girls was quite an experience, really trained my patience while shopping with girls. Lol. Berms there were cheap! and Bought at least 5 pairs. Bumped into Jas and family there for lunch and continued shopping on. The mall closed early, so we had to leave there and i brought the girls over to the town area for a walk.
Was actually quite a brief one because we only managed to have dinner in Siam Paragon, and then went over to pray before leaving for Suan Lam Night Bazaar. The girls were hyper for the night and idk why, kept using those cheena, angmo, hokkien accents. Lol. And yeap, i managed to finish up my list of itenaries that i'd planned along the way to bring the girls to and yes i'm proud of it. Haha.
We had some spare time in the last morning, so went over to some nearby early market for a brief shopping and along the way back gout ourselves Swensens ice-cream which was damn cheap! Lol, loved the nutty ice-cream i had, Macademia and Almond. Packed up and checked out of the hotel then left for the airport. We were rather late as what i'd expected and we took our own sweet time walking around in the airport again until realising that we were way late for the flight! I thought outside food was allow on the plane, so we got ourselves BK meals first before getting on board.
My king-sized pepsi spilled all over in Jo's hand carry along the way and as we walked, the airline staff ran to us and shouted at us, asking us to run for the plane as the plane was delayed because of us and our luggages were on standby already! We ran like some mad dogs and the way there seemed never-ending! The airport design was way too wrong, it's so god damn far! The staff shouted profusely, asking us to keep running which we had already did our best, f-up attitude. Finally got on board, exhausted like shit. It was my first time that i'd almost missed my flight, frightening experience. Settled down and took off.
Peacefully arrived back in Singapore and it feels great to be home... Spent sometimes shopping in the DFS before leaving. Soohou and co were there to pick us up! Congratulations Soohou on your passing! xD Thanks to Jo's mum for the ride back home, dropped my luggage and met up with Hadi off for the class BBQ. I was only home for like 5mins and i'm out to party again, tiring. Tiong Bahru was so damn far! By then, i was totally drained, wanted to drink but decided to give it a miss as i was way too tired. BBQ seafood for the night was great! Thanks for those whom helped to cook and Emily and Brother for the help!
Celebrated Hadi's birthday too, and night ended well with Josh's foolish acts. Grawesome time spent with the class. Lol. Cabbed back home and my day finally ended. Totally suffered from insufficient sleep and so dropped dead for the night.
