Last post for 2007?

This might be the last post for the year 2007. A year full of surprises, a year full of enjoyment, a year I will never forget.

Thinking back, 2007 was a good year for me. And being the greedy human, I hope that 2008 will be a better year. :)

How was ur 2007 xmas???

There was no crowd this xmas (to me...) as i was at home, with hubby.
No candlelight dinner, no turkey or honey baked ham.
Just pizza hut's Jingle Joy.

Counting down on the bed, half asleep when at the stroke of midnite, my dearie presented me with my gift.

Very very surprised as i wasnt expecting any pressies.





Couldn't bear to use this yet. Probably will start using it in the new year. A key pouch for our house keys.

And i got this on christmas day.... got to wait an hr at starhub. why is everyone changing phones????

LG Viewty. Some called it the "Iphone killer'. wahahahha.....

Last 2 days in BKK...

day 3 at bangkok...

shopping at high-end shops. for that, i meant, shopping in departmental stores, big shopping centres....

i always head to central chit lom for lingerie shopping. dont ask me why. maybe cos there is this 5% discount card for tourists. maybe it's cos whenever i was there, they always have this promo whereby u spend a certain amt, u get a lucky dip and see if u are lucky to get better discounts for ur next purchase.

well, this time, it was getting stamps and upon spending like 3000 + baht, we got only 4 stamps, which is a 20% discount for our next purchase. but, u know what, buying 3000 baht worth of lingerie is alot lor...... and that is after a 400 baht rebate from wacoal itself.

oops... before that, i had dunkin donuts for breakfast...

Yummy...





Our breakfast...



And half a dozen only costs 109 baht (which is abt s$4.80)...

It's easier to find these snacks now.... they are all located at Siam Paragon basement....

I have a weakness for Thai snacks...





Dinner was at this cosy little place near Novotel Hotel... Authentic Thai Cuisine according to them...




Day 3 was in and out of MBK, browsing thru' Siam Paragon's stores...

And come the last day in BKK, we went MBK again to see if there are any last minute buys.

Not much though. And we headed to the airport pretty early. The new airport was pretty nice, but the food was expensive!!!!!

Home sweet home... (just nice to greet the taxi companies with their newly adjusted midnight fares.... arggghhhhh)



Bangkok again? Why not???!!! haha.... Hubby say, once a year should be ok.... :P

Day 2

Day 2 was spent at Pratunam area.... at Platinum Fashion Mall and Pantip Plaza...

Platinum mall was full of shops selling clothes at wholesale prices if u get 3 pieces and above... but even buying for just 1 piece, it's cheaper compared to here.

Pantip Plaza is just like our Sim Lim Square. So, I need not explain more, right?

Fried oysters.... look at the oysters... bet u cant get as much oysters here... for just sgd3.



Me and my Pad Thai again...



Shark fin soup and bird nest.... (think most pple patronising this store are Singaporeans... ) Too expensive for their locals, but considered cheap to us....



And banana with chocolate crepe from basement...



Ohhh... and the hotel was sweet enough to give this to us... for our so-called honeymoon.... :)



Dinner was at Coca...





Too busy eating and fighting with live tiger prawns to take any other pictures....

See... told you that this trip is to eat and eat.... :)

Some of our loots for the day...





Stay tuned for the rest of the 2 days in BKK.

Bangkok Trip.... Day 1

Bangkok... a place where i went to eat and shop.

Together with Brian, we took Jetstar's earliest flight and touched down at BKK at around 8.25am their time. With 2 luggages weighing less than 15kg (i think so), wonder how heavy we came back with??? hmmm...

At Changi Airport waiting to board the plane...



Our nest at BKK... Novotel Siam Square





On the way to Chatuchak Market.... In their BTS



This time, we only walked for like 2 hrs? We were sweating (yes, their weather is so hot at around 30 odd degreesss and now it's winter there.... imagine...). Maybe it was becos we were getting more and more selective of clothes, thus the short shopping and maybe it was becos we are hitting Platinum Mall the next day for better shopping....

Hungry us went Foodloft at Central Chit Lom for brunch.... (hmmm, although we had A&W waffles before we left for Chatuchak in the morning, we were still hungry) Ha... it's a gaining weight 4D3N Bkk trip.



Pad Thai... Famous Thai fried noodles (think u can get this from anywhere, even roadside stalls)



Dinner at Cabbages and Condoms. Finally, after wanting to go there for so many times.

The BTS to the restaurant.... got to walk a little after alighting though.



Doesn't this look like the famous and expensive hotel in Dubai????



Our food and drinks....









All of it costs us like 700 baht which is abt sgd30...

Happily makan-ing...



Santa Condom or Condom Santa???? :P



Condom Guy and Lady...





Read this.... hahha.....



This is cute... and educational???



And so, it was bye bye to cabbages and condoms...



And that marks the end of day 1 which coincides with our wedding 3rd month-sary.... :)

A few more days and it'll be us together for 2 years.

Yea, 2 years. Short some of you may think. But lotsa things happened within these 2 years..... like, buying a house, a home called our own, getting married. what's next? a junior brian on the way??? wahahhaha......

funny how 2 persons get together sometimes....

u are so tall, i'm so short. we're almost 30cm apart. (everyone's asking me if i ever felt tired of looking up to u... but i've never had that problem.... hmmmmm)

u can be such an active person and i can be such a couch potato.

u are never afraid to approach someone for help or directions, i'm always feeling pai seh.....

well, i guess, that's called opposites attract. :)

I was at Shangri-la Hotel yesterday!!!

Was at The Line for the buffet. It's not called the 'mother of all buffets' by some people for nothing...

The food is fabulous... the spread is...... wow.....

that was the first time i saw so many types of oysters and tried so many types of oysters..... well, it was oysters night.

Photos arent ready yet as i have not uploaded them....

Well, i was there cos it was my hubby's Birthday!!!!

Photos later......... hungry now......

Chopped off my hair... :)

Status Change....

Finally settled down in my new house. A new asset under my name. But also means a new loan under my name also. Ha,... got to work my a** off to clear my debts..... interesting.....

gonna be a long post.

cos there will be tonnes of photos.... from the photoshoot (yes... i managed to keep them off the blog for a couple of months. on purpose :P) to the moving of house (er.... not new news cos you might have caught it from my hubby's (yes... can call hubby now... hahah) and to the actual wedding day.

Kudos to those who made my wedding day a memorable one. and i'm really proud to announce that i did not 'over-run' despite the very hectic program schedule. which couple would wana be like us? gatecrashing, fetching the bride, going to new house, outdoor photo-taking, makeup changes, tea ceremony, solemnization and wedding lunch all on one day. and it's within one afternoon. *applause* very very happy everything was in order - though not 100%. special thanks to my families, sister, brian's brother, jianrong, royston, rena, yanping, michelle, agnes.....

photo time....

one of my fav photos.... each time i see this, i'll smile or laugh... hahahaha
