I was supposed to reach airport for check in at around 12 for my flight at 1.30pm. At around 11.45am, Gil's friend from Kent Holidays called to inform me about the flight delay. The plane will be late for 1 hr.. heng i haven't left home sia.. smsed Gil to let her know about the delay so that Marc did have to wait too long for me at the airport. but they knew about it already, so i slowly made my way to the airport.

After check in, went to roam around and bought my first holiday item. hurhurhur. Saw Jocelyn at the Times bookstore too. She was going to BKK as well, with her friend, same flight! haha..

Got out of the bookstore n saw the free internet booth. Since i had some time on hand, might as well ka jiao some of my frenz at work.. kekeke. 15 min later, was logged out and i made my way to my gate.

Board the plane, slept for a while, then was awaken by smell of food.. keke.. "would you like to have stewed lamb from the business class...?" WHY NOT?? (but now i realised the error.. stewed LAMB???) Barely 5 min after the stewardess cleared my tray, it was time to land. Why so rushed? Time not scheduled properly?

Before i got off the plane, quickly smsed Marc to let him know of my arrival. Cleared the customs and collected my bag quite fast. I turned out from the wrong exit (felt like superstar with all the ppl at the exit. haha!) n couldn't find him. Gan cheong. Luckily he found me. We then took a cab (only 200+ baht instead of 700 baht - people dun get cheated, go queue at the taxi stand!) and arrived at the hotel to find that the 3 ladies are not back from their shopping yet. Then we went down to the lobby to wait for them. 15 min later we were so bored that we did my first foot massage. The lady who did my foot told me, " You look like thai...". OKEH.......... Just 10 minutes into the massage, they came back. -_________-'''

Around 7pm, we left for Suan Lum (pronounced as 'Soon Larm') Night Bazaar for some shopping and dinner. Bought quite a few things that nite. After dinner, Marc, Gil and me decided to go Patpong to visit the Agogo bars that we so wanted to go. BUT! when we went there, realised that all bars are closed! sigh.. some Buddhist holiday. All bars closed on 21 n 22. SIGH...

bobianz.. walked around the area a while, then saw Starbucks and went in for a drink. Felt a bit bored, then we took a pic on my HP n sent an MMS to pig.. hahaha...

Reached the hotel ard 12+ and fell asleep almost immediately.

Woke up ard 7+, washed up, bathed, then went for 'break fart'. After 'break fart', we left for Chatuchak! woohoo! here comes the real action! hahaha... Things here are definitely cheaper than Suan Lum. So it's a must go! But all haf to beware for pickpockets n bastards. Some idiot grabbed my butt. I hope his palm rot. So ladies gng toBKK beware k?

In the market we had quite a shock. It's ok that they sell food beside the animals/pets. It's ok that they sell fried insects. But it's not ok to see a man flat on the floor, dragging himself along the wet n dirty pathway of the market. Apparently my mum saw him 2 wks ago when she was there. It's quite a sad n traumatised scene. Passed Marc a 20 and asked him to drop into his bowl.

Anyways, we left by cab to go to MBK for more shopping! One point to note is that the cab there is blardie cheap! 5 of us squeezed into 1 cab and only had to pay for maximum 200+ baht for our trips! And the meter doesn't 'jump' when the cab is not moving. Cool huh! if only SG's cab adopt the same scheme. hahaha.. WLLDGG! Luckily traffic's quite smooth for the 2 days there. We only ran into a jam while we were on our way to MBK. Phew!

Arrived at MBK, the first thing that came into my mind is... BRA! wah.. cheong ah.. spent the most on the most essential thing for women. Always wonder why ppl wan to sell bras so expensive when it's an essential for chabohs. Idiots.

买东西,吃东西,买东西,吃东西... BKK oso can mah.. so much cheaper too!

After finished getting the stuffs that i need and want to get, we went for Thai massage! Pain and ticklish when the lady started to press on my thighs. heard from Gil that some of them we laughing outside... grrr... and guess wat, the lady who did my massage told me that i look like Thai (again!). ok lah.. i just remembered the Datuk in M'sia told me the same thing too. So altogether 3 times i was told that.. DUH!

After dinner at the hotel, we went to Patpong again. The place is totally different from the last nite! Crowded! We were approached a few times by the ppl there. "Thai girl show? Cheap.." Fuck. We were conned into one of them (Cleopatra something). Bastards. We were told 100 baht each. But when we went in, the bastard came to collect $$, and told us 500baht each. WTF?! And those chabohs went ard asking for tips for every stunt they do! Was telling marc that i wonder if they use bottle cap openers to open the bots of beer we ordered or... he totally freaked out.. HAHAHAHAHA......... we were disgusted at being conned, and left after a while.

We then decided to make our way to Bed Supper Club. We were awed by the exterior.. looked so cool! Saw a couple of cute guys outside. HOWEVER, when we went nearer, we realised that we need to have our IDs!!! ARGH!!!! so near yet so far... wanted to go back hotel to get our passports, but the mums seemed to be sleeping, so we decided not to disturb them.. so disappointing!! it's ok, will go there the next time i go again.. :'(

Ok.. last day... woke up ard 730am to have break fart again. the car was coming to send us to the airport at 9am.

Did some last minyte shopping at the airport. Tidbits n all for the colleagues.. hurhurhur... went up the plane, and understood why SQ is still one of the top airlines.. the stewardesses of this flight suck! Curt, almost to the point of commanding. irritating. ah well, at least i made home safe n sound.

Bought a Vodka Raspberry from duty free. Anyone wanna come my place for a drink? hahaha...
