i knw this is an extremely backdated post, considering this happened in april. xD

sorry sorry, but i was too lazy to upload the pics and talk about it.

but now i am going to fulfil my promise and blog about it.

i went to bkk with my best friend on a 10day trip. yes yes, very long but then again, holidays are meant to be long!


its supposed to be a break from the reality! lol.

on the plane. =D


the sky view from the plane. how serene. =)

so we went on budget airline and budget hotel (we are not a couple, we do not need ambience etc. haha).


our hotel. ^^

we met with Thailand's Water Festival aka Song Kran. It was crazy. the people do not only use water guns, they use pails of ice water (those that were used to keep the bottles cold) and splash on anyone who walked out of the hotel.

it didn't help that the hotel staff were doing the same. =.=

look how wet the hotel staff was!

the weather was a crazy of 40 degrees~!


yet, we felt so cold. cos the water was really icy. *shivers* we bought bikinis the day before to prepare ourselves as you know, bikinis dry faster. haha.

we too put everything in ziplock bags and our bag in a huge ziplock bag. we were all prepared, but we did not expect the extent of the water festival. =(

they were all getting ready for their target.. *shivers*

they jus kept aiming at us! from the moment we were out of the hotel, we were surrounded (yes, SURROUNDED) by all the locals with pails and pails of water. they even use powder and flour on us. x(



we were soaked to the skin within 5 mins. going to chatujak wasn't any better as they had seen us wet, they find it ok to make it worse. in the end, we didn't buy anything. we went off within half an hour.

even the taxi driver had water gun and he sprayed at ppl everytime the taxi stopped!

lousy us went back to the hotel sick. we were actually not at our best when we went over. with the hot weather and the icy water, our body gave way.

the after effects of Song Kran.

slept through out the afternoon and kept ourselves in the hotel for the next 2 days (Song Kran last for 4 days).

we had 10 days there, so 2 days in the hotel was ok. we get to relax and chit chat, indulge in hotel food and room service, going crazy and of cos, no spending of money on clothes~! lol.



yummy food in the hotel! ^^

as you see, the moment we reached, we started shopping. our hotel was opp pratunum market, thus we are basically surrounded by shopping centres. all shopping centres were within walking distance.



our pink taxi. everything was pink including the seats (which u can see in the pic). princesses we are. lol.

so we walked everyday and as we walked, we saw pretty things which were cheap. itchy hands will reach for the wallet for money. lol.

in 3hours, we bought a whole bed of clothes, for each of us. haha. girls. xD


3hours of shopping during the first day. =X

our purchases. as u can guess, the one on the right wasn't mine. xD

for the next few days, we were controlling each other not to buy anymore things. and it succeeded for me, not so much for my best friend. lol.

we walked to all shoppin centres that we know in the city centre.

we went to:

pratunum market


pratunum centre

city complex

platinum shopping mall

siam paragon


siam square

mbk



big C


central world





their food were great! at central world food court. =D


wat else did i forget?

oh!

we went to chatujak, suam lom, patpong, khao san, rca too.


khao san. Song Kran was the next day and they were already splashing water. =.=

patpong.

for 2 girls, we are really crazy! lol.

hello kitty taxi.

we went to watch midnight movie at MBK cos we were bored.

when u are at a foreign country, of cos you will choose to watch local productions rite?

so we chose a thai movie with english subtitles, with no idea what it was except its a thriller.

our movie tickets.

this was the movie we watched.


we were trying to be funny.

it turned out to be Art Of The Devil 3. =.=

I rem watching Art Of The Devil 2 with rach few years back. it was gross.

to those who do not know what this movie is about, its about black magic. dark dark black magic. with alot of gross scenes like burning a person alive, cutting off the tongue, sewing the eyes with safety pins, eruptions of the intestines with maggots all around etc.

and nope, none was censored.

it was late at night and the movie theatre had less then 20 pple, creepy.

we couldnt zzz that night. so much for being bored. =.=


oh! we went clubbing at patpong and rca! yup, just the two of us. xD


the club/pub at patpong was called Splash and they were good! their RnB music were live band! very powerful! ^^

getting ready to club. haha.

their liveband of RnB.

their drinks were cheap (which was expected) but they did not have the usuals we had.

still, it was nice if you love alcohol. they aren't as stingy as singapore clubs, their alcoholic drinks are full of alcohol!

as for RCA, we went to Route 66. it was nice too. very nice designs but the environment was much more complicated than Splash.

getting ready for RCA. haha.


we had a bottle of Red Label for ourselves and in the end, we had a total of 2 bottles of that. nope, we did not like Red Label but it was cheap! lol.

during the first hour.

after the first hour. lol.

we are really 2 crazy girls, to drink so much with no guys. =.=

but it was fun! really fun!

wat's the best way to have bonding but a trip for two? =D

the end of the trip. thats only part of what we had. lol.

i know some of you are wondering, but nope, my best friend has always been this one and no one else.

i am not the kind who changes best friend like clothes, so my best friend stays the same.

that goes to pple i trust, unless they have proven time and time again that they are not worth my friendship, they usually stay as friends to me (i think i only ended two friendships. haha)..

so my best friend is still joycelyn ng. since the day we met few years back.

of cos, we had our arguements, disappointments, cold wars and she cant stand alot of things about me, and vice versa.

we always nag about each other but at the end of the day, we love each other and we always trust each other. =)

she will always trust me no matter what other pple say and vice versa.

its actually VERY hard to find a person who will trust you no matter. i am glad i found a bunch of them. ;-)

so overall, this trip is reeally good (even if it burns a hole in the wallet).. =D

if u want more pics, u can find it on my friendster profile. xP

there will be another trip again, soon i hope. haha.

bkk is really fun, if u can stand the heat!


PS: pam, u can go again next year since i believe u wil totally enjoy the Song Kran! lol.

PPS: my dearest friend is back from taiwan! and bought things for me! lol.

its not so much of the things he bought but the fact that he is back, missed him so much! x(
