YEAAH!!! I'M BACK!! FROM A SUPER DUPER ULTRA HYPER TRIP TO BANGKOK!!!
haha.. I've like got SO much to blog about I think I'll be quite dead if I actually typed out whatever I said I'll type out...
sorry guys, not photos yet as there is a problem with the software that reads photos from my camara...
Anywayz!, THAILAND!!! or to be precise, BANGKOK!!! weee... wonderful place...
BUT, I think the flight towards Bangkok was quite.... bad... hahal... no harm done towards Cathay Pacific, but I think the promotional section of the plane is like quite lousy...
The air-con seemed to be relatively non-existance to the unscientific mind, and the food tastes like the chef was grumpy...
I chose the chow hor fun, which had more soyasauce taste then anything else.... but I'm NOT picky with my food, not at all... unlike a passanger sitting in front of me... He was giving the steward a hard time, i.e. I dont eat chicken. why cant i have vegetarian food?...
he traumatized the air steward so much that he gave him HIS lunch.... so sad...
Anywayz.... I'm starting to think that HK guys are quite cute...
There was a cute HK air steward on the plane who hardly talked, but smiled and helped in whatever way he could..
Then our hotel bell boy was a HK guy too! and he IS cute =)
Yupz... once we touched down, we were greeted with
THE ULTIMATE AJ LANGUAGE!!
I.E. "Song kra... ai pun lum phrae pad boom kong"
ok.. if that didnt make sense to you, dont worry. coz this is my memory rendered of the message....
but, in written literary, it does NOT sound gay in anyway at all... well then, change the "kra" into smooth girly tone, and go up and down one octave for EACH syllabal thereafter, and you should be halfway into Thai-land...
Uhh.. then it was SHOPPING!! shop and ShOp and SHOP!!! we lay our eyes on this, and I scream CHEAP! a few minutes later, we lay our eyes on the same item, I scream CHEAPER!!!
afterawhile, we generalized that any human being from a country as developed as Singapore would develop fits if they see the price and not buy anything at all in Thailand...
My greatest regret...
Not buying ZIRH when I had the chance to... the cleanser was like going at a price of SGD$20+, while in Singapore, you would be getting it at like $30+ $40 minimum...
this is so depressing...
sigh...
haha... anywayz... back to shopping, I spent like $200 on clothings alone, and I bought.... *clears throat*
- 14 T-Shirts (billabong, quiksilver, ripcurl, diesel, adidas, levis, oakley)
- 3 Polo T-Shirts (ralph lauren, polo sport)
- 3 Sleeveless Shirts (haha... they jus look nice)
- 1 Formal Shirt (ralph lauren)
- 2 Jerseys (Adidas)
- 1 2nd hand Levis jeans (levis.. duh.. haha.. guess guess... the price is $20 sgd)
- 8 board shorts (billabong, quiksilver, ripcurl, diesel)
Total : $200 (max)
Avg cost per piece, $200/32 = $6.25 PER PIECE
... there wasnt any S&K over there, or else I would have bought the whole shop already... wahaah...
we ate a hell lot of stuff.... but I usually stuff myself konkers at the breakky buffet, so I wont spend so much unneccesary time dreaming of food, and spend more time haggling prices and gasping in awe at how people can actually sell these stuffs at these prices...
Memorable Stuff we ate (+ drank)
- 1 Awful Leechee Surprise (*surprising alright, it tasted quite poisonous)
- 2 Bacardis
- 2 Lime Vodkas
- Tortillini Pasta, FAT Spaggeti, + many other wierdly shaped pastas
- Deep Fried teeny weenie baby crabs
- Scrambled Eggs
(peepz, if you think that we were conservative and didnt there try thai food, we did, but the western food were so cheap we couldn resist)
- Green Curry with lots and lots of funny big pea-shaped spices
- Sugar and Chilli Pad Thai
- Very strong tasting Tom Yam Goong (note: GOONG. not Koong. dont spell it like some imbecillic restauraunts in Singapore)
- Apple pie with micro-thin apple on top + lovely ice cream
- TEPPANYAKI!!
- oh yah, and finally, readers... brace yourself....
THEIR TAKO PAOCHI COST SGD$1.50, AND THEY GIVE 5 (FIVE/WU/LEMAH/
BUMBADIL) PIECES!!
Singapore Tako Paochi stores can go boil their head...
We went to this Thai Massage that Pedro's mum introduced to us on Sunday, and it was WAY COOL!! haha.. i thought it was going to be damm pain or something like dat, coz the way she described it was... "You want to go to the real wan or the gentle wan?".... of coz we want real wan lah! Thus, opposite of gentle is wad? pain lah! haha...
but that was not the case...
May, Jawei and Ryan got female masseurs, while I went a bolder step and asked for a GUY masseur... Got quite a cute guy, but there were other cuter ones...
During the massage, I was like putting my radar on to HIGHEST sensitivity, trying to detect any signs of AJ-ness or Gay-dar.. but, he was too focus ont he massage itself and I could lock eyes and pry his mind open...
but finally, his gaze met mind, and a revelation was born... he WAS!!
haha... what a relief... I cant have a straight guy doing it for me.... it would be disastrous... i think...
haha.... so... everything that happened after that and before we returned to the hotel is classified... ask me if you want to know exectly what happened...
So after that, we went to the hotel with good memories, and Pedro's mum brought us up the Marina Mandarin hotel's open air top level....
it was SPLENDID!!
OMG.... it was literally... breathtaking.... AWESOME!!!
Lounge Jazz was being played by a band, candlelight diners everywhere... a beautiful bar in the middle of the viewing platform.. the ultra grand roman architectural design...
it made you wonder how much would it cost to have a wedding here...
.. incidentally, which Pedro is looking very much forward to....
ONE TABLE FOR 2 COSTS : SGD $300+
not a very incredible sum for an experience as spectacular as this....
haha... i have a hell lot more to write...
but I think i'll stop here... i havnt dozed much since yesterday's very very VERY exotic conversation...
oh yah.. and May's fashion makeover was a spectacular sucess, as I retrieve the pictures, be amazed yet again.... haha
