yeah

We're at T2 now! Elvis is checking his email for some work stuff... So here am i typing nonsense before we take off at 1040hrs! Hehe... Will upload pictures when we're back from Bangkok! Bye! ;)

DAY 1
Realised that it's really been a looong time since i came to Bangkok - even the airport is new! Keke... So suaku. ;p

Novotel Bangkok On Siam Square that we're staying in is the "most grand" hotel i've stayed in (in Bangkok). Usually, my friends and i will choose the very cheap S$50/night AsiaHotel. Haha... This is very modern and the location is excellent - literally on Siam Square! The toiletries look damn cool too! I even took a photo of it (which i will upload next time).

After we checked-in, Elvis had to get internet connected in the room (for work as usual) - which is also why i can write on my blog during this trip. Anyway after he was done, we went to change our S$ to THB. Then Elvis called his friend who happened to be in the office, so we headed to Elvis' ex-co JWT Bangkok. He met many others there too - including an "aunty" who claims to be his ex-girlfriend! Haha! ;p

Then it's SHOPPING TIME! Elvis bought a really nice jacket, shirt and jeans (all ex)...and some toys. He felt "guity" spending so much $. Haha! I didnt find anything i like and worth buying - partly coz i didnt fit them lah. ;p

For dinner, we went to Elvis' favourite seafood place at Chinatown/Yauwarat. It's NOT the usual shop most Singaporeans go to...it's a few units behind the "popular one". We had black pepper crab, BBQ prawns, "lala", veg and tomyam-gong. Yummy! Tomorrow, we're going Siam Square! Yeah! Hope i can find some nice stuffs. Good night! ;)

DAY 2
breakfast-lunch-teabreak

Discovered an interesting bookshop B2S in the "new" wing of World Trade Centre (Central World Plaza), and we bought some really cool iron-ons - even 1 for baby too. Heehee...we can wear family-lovers tshirts next time! Haha! So corny! Had late lunch at another of Elvis' favourite eating places at Sukhumvit Soi 20 - very local, very yummy homecooked chinese food. Then we shopped around in Siam Square and the "new" Siam Paragon. Hmm...somehow the shops dont seem so interesting anymore... Walked until our legs damn ache man, so we decided to go for a foot massage. It was my first time trying....err was ok...not as painful as i had imagined. The effect didnt last too long coz my feet started to ache again shortly.

Then we went back to the hotel and rested until we went for late dinner at Zen Japanese Restaurant. Elvis ordered a huge plate of sashimi which i couldnt eat (and he couldnt finish! Haha! Serve him right!). Hmm...somehow the food also wasnt very nice anymore. We decided to head to Suan Lum Night Market to take a look. After walking for a while (managed to get some of the local tidbits eg gaosai/translated to "dog shit"), we headed back to the hotel...and again, Elvis had to work.

Tomorrow will be our last (half) day here. Not sure where else we should go... Leg very tired also... ;p

DAY 3
We woke up late for the hotel's breakfast again. We went to the "new" Siam Paragon and found a nice place for brunch instead. Vanilla Brasserie. Presentation very good, food very small portion. Had our 2nd crepe dessert - chocolate orange icecream! Very yummy & sooo satisfying - for me at least coz Elvis is a strawberry-anything fan. ;) After that, we just shopped around till it was time to go back to collect our bags and head for the airport.

Hmm...although this is the 1st time i go to Bangkok & end up buying only a few items (Elvis spent the bulk of the THB, and sign credit somemore! Haha!), i'm just so glad to be there...to see all the "not-so-new" malls!

We'll be back again
- with baby in tow!
;)
