Bangkok, Thailand 2013

Eve of CNY is here once again, and I'm 21 already. It's true that the years go by even faster when you're getting older. I'm not perceiving 21 as "old", of course :) 

Anyway, I managed to squeeze some time out to post some pictures from the birthday trip to Bangkok! 

Mad love, coconut ice cream at chatuchak! We headed to Chatuchak before even checking in cos we arrived too early! Just placed our luggages w the baggage counter at the hotel and off we went! 

Our hotel; Baiyoke Sky. It was my first time there and I love how spacious the room is! :) Room was generally okay, although we would have appreciated it even more if the bathroom lights were a little bit brighter. But honestly - Budacco is still my favourite hotel so far. Anyway, yes that was our loots of day 1. 

Awesome breakfast! Street stalls there are a major love :) 

We spent the entire second day at Platinum (we could barely complete half the mall), placed our loots back at the hotel, freshened up and headed out for dinner w Georgiana's colleagues who happened to be in BKK too! Dinner was at Somboon Seafood restaurant at Chamchuri Square :) 

Day three's brunch was at Platinum's food court! :) Loveeeeee the spicy mango salad! We proceeded to Terminal 21 after that! 

I LOVE THAT SHOT OF VAL W THE GEISHA HAHAHA :P 

Dinner was at a zi-char stall near Central World/Big C. It was so yummylicious, we felt that it was better than the dinner we had at Somboon Seafood restaurant!! 

And yes, we went a tiny bit overboard buying local goods at Central World's supermarket :P We had so much fun just throwing everything into the trolley! People gave us bewildered stares but oh well - we're tourists ;) 

Our last day - a birthday lunch at a Jap restaurant - Fuji, next to Platinum Mall's foodcourt. It's definitely cheaper than Sg's jap restaurants but quality wise - we felt that Sushi Tei / Ichiban Boshi are a little better :) And then we spent the remaining hours completing the last 2-3 levels of Platinum mall as well as its new extension (mainly shoes/bags on the top floors). 

Am happy w our buys from the trip! The girls went really crazy w their shopping but I'm proud to say that I really did exercise self-control. There were times when I would just wait for them and help them pick stuffs in a shop - and I did not buy any ;P Will definitely head back to BKK again some time this year! Doing my CNY shopping there is a fabulous idea, we actually came across so many pieces of outfits that were being sold in blogshops! And the price? Muahaha. I wouldn't pay like, 27 bucks for a top when I can get it for just 10 bucks. But yes, sometimes I'll still purchase from blogshops :x If only BKK is even nearer to SG, like JB. Whoopppp ;P 

May 2013 be an awesome year, filled w trips! :)

Have a happy and prosperous lunar new year all! HUAT AH x

First month down.

In the blink of an eye, January 2013 is now history. And it's fabulous february now! :)

January has treated me well, went on a birthday trip to Bangkok w the PF girlfriends! An awesome start to a new year and to my 21st. Yes, am turning 21 real soon :(

Haven't had time to transfer the images yet so that shall be for the next post. It felt really unreal traveling with this bunch of girlfriends. We all admitted to and agreed that this group is something that we thought we'd never want to keep in contact with or know more. Reason being cos back then - we all kinda dreaded PF. And, very mean of us I know but, we really thought we'd meet nerds, brainiacs and probably more nerds. But apparently, hola, look at the 12 of us! We had so much fun during PF! Embarrassed to say, we really slacked our way through majority of the journey :p Always expect the unexpected, this is so true. Am so thankful for PF! If not I'll never meet this bunch of really fabulous people! And k, PF is not for nerds alright! :)

Anyway, we have 3 february babies in the group, hence we decided that it shall be our birthday trip :)!

Feb has been awesome, received my second present! A new camera body and lens, HAPPINESS.

Will post a picture of my new baby soon! Am loving the resolution and the Effects function!

Birthday staycation w dearest MS over the weekend! Decided not to have a big party for my 21st. Wanna just spend it with my 9 sisters :')
