The Bangkok Post (7 to 10 Sept 12)

Supposedly a friends trip to BKK, but those whom we asked could not make it or didn't want to go.

So it was the four of us again (Hubby, Peggy, my mum and I) setting off...

7 Sept:
Arrived at BKK at Thailand time 10pm. For safety reasons, we decided that we should just head back to the hotel straight. We had the Thai McD and they serve my favourite fried chicken and also a new favored pie - tuna pie. I hope Singapore brings it in too coz it is nice.

Our hotel is called Glow Pratunam and it is only a months old. Boutique hotel above a shopping mall and its colour theme is striking pink with black. The rooms are big and clean. I like!!

8 Sept:
Our agenda for the day was to visit Terminal 21, Platinum mall and MBK. But because we met many helpful people along the way and hence there were many distractions. We ended up doing some praying along the way and also went to a Thai trade fair. They sold expensive Jewellery and silk so it was not suitable for us. In the end we only managed to go to Terminal 21 and MBK.

Terminal 21 was good, for photo taking. Haha. The concept (different levels represent different countries) of the mall is good and I especially like the uniforms of the concierges and security guards. Some of the shops there sell quite pretty clothes but me being a 'cheapo nana', I thought they were quite expensive.

We also visited MK restaurant and had the recommended steamboat. It was good and I like it!! Very cheap too. 4 pax was only SGD $44!!!

9 Sept:
Finally it was time for Platinum Mall. We decided to forgo Chatukchak because of safety and also because we really couldn't finish exploring the shopping heaven. Platinum Fashion Mall had so much to see and most of the things were so cheap (compared to Singapore). If given more time and if not for my bored husband, I think we would have bought more, literally shop till u drop (don't even need to eat). Nonetheless it was still a good trip as I bought many many clothes. Now I need to think where to keep them. As of now, my wardrobe is already full!!!

10Sept:
Last day!! So sad and I couldnt sleep the previous night. I kept thinking about work and worried I didnt handover things properly. We spent our last day shopping at the shops below our hotel. Got some accessories and we decided to head opposite to Platinum again for some last minute shopping. Bought a few more pieces of clothes and accessories and we went to eat before heading to the airport.

We reached Singapore at about 920pm and this was the first time travelling with Tiger Airways, budget terminal. Some of the food selection were the same as Jetstar and I think Air Asia's food was better and cheaper.

Till my next travelling encounter(dunno when also), thanks for reading!!

Home sweet Home...

Starting September

1 September:
Instead of the usual fun stuff, we went to donate blood - for a good cause!!
My face turned pale when I was called in for health screening. Apparently a patient had some reactions after receiving my blood together with others. So they are now checking whose blood is the contributing factor of the anti-bodies of which the patient was allergic to. While the doctor assured me that it was normal and that there is no cause for alarm, I still don't feel good. I still think I am going to die soon, like I always tell my husband and friends (quite sad because I still have many things not accomplished).

2 September:
We had an inaugural picnic at Marina Barrage. Quite a unique experience as compared to usual outings just that the sun was too hot. We were under the shade but I still became a lobster after that few hours of outdoor sunshine.

All in all, it was quite a good start and I hope things continue to go well and I can remain loved and happy. May I be blessed...
