Bangkok, Thailand.

I'm back from Thailand! Did you all miss me!?

I bought like half of thailand back with me.

Total Damage before flight to Bangkok: $900
Total Damage in Bangkok: $900
Grand total: $1800

I got to Changi airport and i found my flight was delayed by like an hour. I was pretty annoyed but that cant be helped. Once i got to DFS Gallery, all hell broke loose. I went straight to the perfume section and started cradling boxes of perfume. The saleswoman was taken aback by the amount of perfume i was actually hold and how i was just strolling around looking for more. I bought like six bottles of perfume. My sister had like three and mom had like one.

Perfumes i bought:
CK One
CK Be
CK Summer
Escada Pacific Paradise
Lancome Miracle Men (for Mel)
Polo Black Men (for Bedah)

Its like i havent even gotten onto the plane and there was already a huge bag of shit that i had to carry, plus carrying ten bottles of perfume is no joke. At times like that, i wished i had a boyfriend. We got onto the plane and took off for Bangkok, Thailand. Once we reached, we had to like find our luggage on the conveyer belt. Then when we got to the outside, we were literally swarmed by drivers, asking if we needed transport to get to our hotel. We ended up getting a van because there were nine of us.


Mommy and me.


At Bangkok International Airport!


Me and aunt!


Power of three.

I fell asleep on the van, but before i could dream, i had to get off the van because we reached the hotel already. I followed the adults to get our room keys and i ended up signing for a room just because i was the fourth person over eighteen on the spot. All of us had to like go to another side to get to our rooms. Its funny because we dun have rooms in the same buliding as the Front Desk. But we had to walk down this dark alleyway instead. We got to our room and it was the bomb. Its exactly like a condo i swear. Oh well, my hotel's Royal President after all. Its really grand for a hotel.






















Happy girl in the cab, on the way to Lumpini.


Lumpini Night Market.


Where you shop till you drop.


And buy till you die.


Big TV screen for the people to watch soccer and drink beer.


Drink Menu. Not bad, they got all the spelling correct.


Orang juice anyone?


Singapore has Kbox/ Partyworld/ Karaoke pubs.


Bangkok has roadside Kbox/ Partyworld/ Karaoke Pub. Now thats sad.

I changed into slippers and off the whole bunch of us went to Lumpini Night Bazaar. It was the fucking bomb i swear. The stuff there was hilariously cheap. CHEAP SHIT I SAY. I bought like nobody's business and i wished i had eight pairs of hands to carry all my shopping bags. I bought this bag for like 800baht, which is equilvilent to like $25 in SGD. Of course i'll buy! You dun get such bags in SG you know? At first when i asked for the price the shop vendor said 1850baht. So the conversation went like this:

Me: How much is this bag?
Shop Vendor: 1850baht.
Me: Fuck! That's like a rape price. 500baht.
Shop Vendor: -gives shocked face- NOOOOOOO. Cannot. Madame you give me a better price.
Me: Okay, 800 FINAL.
Shop Vendor: Give me more.
Me: No. Final. 800. -steps out of shop-
Shop Vendor: Okay Madame! I give you.
Me: YAY!

I swear 1850 is a rape price okay. RAPE ALSO CHEAPER. DO AND CHOW. Thats like 65SGD okay! Nuts i swear. No way i'm paying that shit for a bag. So after that I went to see accessories. I saw this fabulous bracelet that's like huge and everything, i had to have it. So i went to ask the price.

Me: How much?
Her: 500baht madame.
Me: Fuck! No way, 200baht.
Her: CANNOT! 400baht madame.
Me: NO. 25o FINAL.
Her: Okay madame.

So i got my bracelet! Its only 10SGD so who cares? SG also dun sell such shit. I went over to the next stall and i saw a zippo lighter! Super nice! Its a Jack Daniels lighter.

Me: How much?
Her: 800baht. Real zippo madame.
Me: Yes i know. 200baht.
Her: No madame, you give me more.
Me: Noway. 200 and thats all i'm giving you.
Her: Okay madame.

Where the fuck can you find zippo in SG that costs like 8SGD? NOWHERE OKAY. Then i got a skull belt for Neh. I thought it was for Dwayne, but i was wrong. The skull is damn interesting because its mouth can open and close. How interesting. Its freakishly cute please. I walked around somemore then i came across this little shop selling handheld mirrors. The mirrors cost like 300baht for one. Thats like mad please. I ended up paying only 100baht for it. I'm sucha good "auntie".

I found a shirt for Mel next. See, he's always into dressing lok kok, of which i highly disapprove of. So one of the things on my To Buy List was shirts for Mel. I found this Fred Perry shirt. Its very nice so i decided to buy one for him. There wasnt black or brown. So i bought green. The first two shops i went to was mad. They asked for 650baht for a shirt please. Thats like over 20SGD. Mad people, stupid rip-offs. In the end i found a shop that was willing to sell at the price i wanted.

Then it was back to the Royal President for some rest!

But my mommy and i were restless so both of us went for a full-body thai massage. I swear the massuse[sp?] turned me inside out. She did things to my bones that i never knew could be done and it isnt highly reccomended for kids. She cracked my spine both ways. Then she did it again in another way three times. I nearly died please. If you could just hear the loudness of the cracks, i swear you wouldnt want to go for any massages anymore.

We left the massage parlour after our massage and went walking around. We went into this Thai Pizza Hut and ordered pizza to eat. Then it was back to our hotel room to bathe, eat and sleep!


They have 7-11 in Thailand.


My 800baht bag.


JD Zippo.


Ray-Ban Sunglasses.


Fucking chio bracelet.


Mirror!


Skull belt for Neh.


Fred Perry shirt for Mel.

Day 2.

I was fucking tired i swear. The one hour difference from SG is killing my body. I was one letargic bitch. We had breakfast at the hotel then off to Yao Wan Long aka Chinatown. There was shitloads of nonsense to buy there. They had like 2443857395 shoe shops. I swear that shoes are like all the rage in Chinatown. But it was gay because we had to like buy SIX PAIRS or shoes to get the wholesale price. Now tell me, who the hell needs six pairs of the SAME kind of shoes? Thats mad i swear. Utterly nuts. So i didnt buy any footwear there. But then when the whole group of us walked further in, i found alot alot alot alot alot alot alot of accessory shops. I practically chiong-ed into the shops.

I think i came in my undies please. Okay, i didnt. Its just an expression. I was with another girl, Alina. She's the daughter of my aunt's friend. Best of all, both of us are born in the same year. So that makes us officially legal to do anything we want. Both of us chiong-ed into this random accessory shop. The name of the shop was actually CENTRE POINT. How interesting i say. But its nothing like SG's Centrepoint of course. Both of us walked into the place and there were alot of accessories. I waited for my mommy to come along so that she could like consent to me buying more earrings, as if i dun have one cupboard full of earrings, half of which i've never worn before. But then again, she consented and asked me to take whatever i want. Those three words are magic okay. I took like twenty pairs of earrings. Just take only, its hilariously cheap anyway.

I had the shop assistant following me around because of the way i took so many pairs of earrings at one go. Yes, i know i only have two hands. But see, girls grow extra arms when it comes to accessories. She had to take a tray and follow me. I moved on to necklaces after that. I looked around for necklaces, for Sheila and Xia. I bought everything that was on the necklace rack. How cool is that. Then when paying for everything, the whole amount didnt even reach 500baht please. I was fucking happy.

Then we walked arond sumore and i really wanted to die already. It was fucking hot in Chinatown. Everyone was really losing their cool and the desire for air-conditioning grew stronger. We left for Siam Square in cabs. Then the guys all wanted to leave because they werent up for shopping. I think its rather because they didnt want to be our shopping bag carriers. Smart arent they. Anyway, i bought this necklace in Siam Sq. Its this long chain that has a mirror pendant. I chiong to buy it please. Its very nice!

Then there wasnt anything enticing in Siam Sq already. But i bought Mel an Ezekiel shirt. Then we headed to MBK Shopping Centre. There wasnt much to buy there either because we're all waiting to go Chaktuchak the next day. But i did buy some accessories for Mel while i was there. Then us girls all went to eat at the foodcourt. I bought tom yum kung, and it is by far the best i've tasted. Its not spicy enough thou, i think its because the fella that did it feared that i couldnt take the spicyness. What nonsense, i'm like the queen of chilli or something. Chilli is my life. YARH RIGHT FIONA.

We left pretty early and went back to the hotel to rest.

Breakfast at a slowpoke hotel restaurant.


Toilet break!


In the cab.


Miss bright and cheery. Now you dun see that in mornings.


Some random bakery shop.


This is what they make.


Goldsmith's. So much gold. My cam was having spasms.


Chinatown!


Some biscuit that they made into a pig. Super cute.


There was a certain kind of shop that you see really everywhere in Chinatown.

Shoe shop One.


Shoe shop Two.


Three.


Four.


Five. And there were many more. Just that i didnt bother to take any photos.


They had a hair accessory shop too!


See! So many different types of pins and bands.





Then to Siam Sq.


Overpass to MBK Shopping Centre. Look at the crowd!


The super duper long taxi queue.

Day 3.

Mommy went to pray early in the morning while i slept. I didnt even hear her leave. But boy, did i sure hear her when she came back. She practically yelled at me to get up so that i could like bathe and have breakfast with the rest then leave for Chaktuchak. We got to Chaktuchak and it was mad hot. The whole place is like a maze. A crazy shopping maze. I swear you can like get lost there. I bought Mel's Famous Star shirt there. Its a nice shirt really. Then i bought like birks for Mel and myself, plus tons of other shits.


Cab driver had a fish in his car!


I was camwhoring in the middle of Chaktuchak.


Humungus toilet sign. For all to see.





They sold fruits in little containers.


They even made a statue with a dick!

My aunt brought me to see the animals at the middle of the market. They're all so CUTE! The puppies were all hot and bothered and they kept yapping non-stop. But they were oh-so-adorable and huggable. Then i saw rabbits! Reminds me of Dave, but what the heck. They were all so cute. I couldnt stand the way the rabbit seller was treating the rabbits. See, there was this customer buying two rabbits and the seller took down a box to enclose the rabbits. But she only had one hand to open the box because her other hand was holding two rabbits. She banged the box on the whole pile of rabbits please! Its not once but many times. I nearly slapped her face. The poor poor rabbits are so innocent and cute and she BANGED THE BOX ON THEM!

FUCK YOU, I HOPE A TRUCK BANGS YOUR TITS OFF.


Squirrels! They looked like they were dead when i walked passed them.


Doggie! So cute.


More doggies!


Rabbit!


It was slipping thru my grip.

















By 3pm, i was ready to KO. So mommy and i went for foot massage. I fell asleep after awhile and woke up with a jump because the massuse pressed my inner thigh and that hurts, REAL BAD. After the massage, we both met up with my aunt and we had a light lunch. Salads and tom yum kung again. Then carrying our 38583957249 shopping bags, we got into a cab and headed for the hotel. The three of us lasted the longest. The rest left after spending like 2hours in Chaktuchak. They all couldnt stand the heat.

We all slacked in ur rooms and i smoked my 38573985th cig. I smoked like non-stop over in Bangkok. Then at 6plus we all gathered at the lift to meet up and go back to Yao Wan Long aka Chinatown to eat a sumptuous seafood dinner. I groaned at the thought of eating seafood. Yes, as you all know. I detest prawns and their eyes. I really cannot fathom how you people can eat then while they still have their eyes. Doesnt it irk you that they can actually still see you eating them? Its really an ick factor.

Anyway, we reached the place and they brought us upstairs to sit. The uncles all ordered a whole muthafucking load of food. It seemed impossible to finish. But the bomb is still the escargots. Its my favourite fine-dining dish. But the place was nowhere near fine-dining style. So who the hell cares. When the food came, there was like no space for anything. There was two type of cooked crabs, king prawns, escargots, omelette, fried rice, noodles, vegetables and the essential tom yum kung. I recoiled at the sight of the king prawns. Its as if normal prawns wasnt bad enough. King prawns just made the whole situation worse. I hate prawns.




















Me and mommy at seafood dinner.













The chilli was hotter then the sun.

Escargots! I like! I think i whacked the whole thing.


King prawns i think. Ick.


Curried crabs.

The bill came up to 5000++baht. Its about 250SGD. So that proves that that eatery we ate at was a total rip-off. Such rape prices they charge. The chilli they gave was the shiok-est. You dip like anything inside and put it in your mouth, you'll think your mouth's on fire. After dinner, we walked around Chinatown for awhile more, mommy went to buy some rare type of medicine wheile i followed my aunt to get some top-grade birds' nest.


Medical hall.


Ginseng.


Super duper top grade birds nest. Eat already confirm tits from A cup to C cup.
Yarh RIGHT.


BIG BIG Ferris Wheel.

After visiting the medical halls and buying what they wanted, all of us went back to Lumpini Night Bazaar to shop somemore. Apparently, Alina didnt buy much at Chaktuchak. So she wanted to go back there to get more inventory. Then the whole bunch of us went back there. I bought Mel's slippers there and then we headed back to the hotel after like two hours. I was fucking tired and i really felt like i was eighty one already.

Mommy went to sleep early because she wanted to go to the floating market in the early ungodly hours of the morning. I didnt go because i wanted to do my hair. But in the end, she came back at 1pm and i was still sleeping my ass off. She technically pushed me off the bed so that i would get up and get ready to go to the airport.


Floating market.

We got into the cab and went to Siam Paragon for lunch. The bomb about the shopping centre was that it had a Ocean Park at the basement. Now, you dun see this everyday but too bad we were rushed for time. If not i think we all would have gone in to see the fishes.



It rained while we were on our way to Bangkok airport. We got there and we checked in our luggage. Then it was off to eat our last thai meal in Bangkok, Thailand. But i couldnt stand having tom yum kung any longer. So i ordered fish and chips. Now, their fish and chips at the airport is GOOD. The fish was like all juicy and fat. I swear the fisherman that got this fish must bave gotten alot of money for it. Its so fat! RAHHHH.


Gate 71! Time to go back to Singapore.

And to the basement to get to our boarding gate! My plane got delayed like 3 times and i was really quite annoyed with everything. I was cursing and swearing at everything. I think my mommy wanted to like slap me already. My flight was initially at 615pm, then 7pm, then 745pm. It was horrendous. The reason being that the aircraft wasnt even at the airport yet. Imagine my face please. I was the bitch from hell.


I was in the aircraft already.

Finally the plane came and we all boarded it. Then its off to SG! I slept all the way to i dun know where when i woke up to them announcing that the plane was experiencing turbulence. I was kinda afraid i wouldnt see my friends anymore. But then i reached Changi Airport safely and i left first.

Mel lied and said that he couldnt make it to come get me. I simply refused to believe what he said. So i called Mitchie after Mel and he told me that a bunch of people were there to get me. I skipped out and Shaik shouted, "Ka Limpei Si!". I think he missed me saying my famous lines. The moment i came out of the departure hall, i looked around for Mel. I didnt see him till he suddenly appeared in front of me. i was a happy fuck please.

We all hung out at the airport till late. They did alot of nonsensical stuff at the airport and the M&M (Mel& Mitch) called me a bimbo so many times that it was impossible to count. Mel and i left first in a cab because i was quite tired and moreover i had to work later in the day.


Mitch getting his ass clamped.


He was waiting for the door to clamp him. Silly Mitchie.


Mel also. I was laughing when i took this photo. So its abit blurred.


Mitch was too late.




















Then he succeeded.




















After which he proceeded to clamp his leg.

So thus, it was my whole trip to Bangkok, Thailand.
