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...

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...

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)

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.

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...

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

Thailand Trip - 1010.JPG

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.

Thailand Trip - 1011.JPG

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

Thailand Trip - 1012.JPG

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.
