THE LOCK CUP - ANTI THEFT COFFEE CUP

Are you tired of others stealing your coffee cup? Well now there's a solution. The Lock - Cup has a hole which prevents most people from using it. Only the owner of the cup can use his/hers shaped key to close the hole.



TRAVELER'S PHRASE BOOK T-SHIRT

If you are traveling a lot and don't always know the language of the country you are visiting, then this T-shirt is for you. It has a phrase book printed on it so just point a finger at the pictogram you need and then point it twice at the question mark, which means, "Where is it?" and in no time you have found what you were looking for... or not.

BBBBBBack from Bangkok... !!!

Sawatdee Khrap...

hee:D finally gone and back.

Now I know why Bangkok is so "Hot". I must say it's really crowded there in Bangkok. I guess it's because it's flooded with "ang mos". They are "everywhere" (must speak with an indian accent). hee:D Every few steps we took, every little corner, we can easily spot an "ang mo".

look at the bustling streets... still as pack as before. And by the way... it's all day long !!!

First time in Bangkok, nice experience, nice trip... "Tut Tut", taxi ride, the crowd, the food... and of course the shopping... !!! Details below.

The hotel we stayed; Twin Towers, it was a really nice stay. Staff there are polite, helpful. they even upgraded us to Executive room due to Deluxe room full (free). Had early check-in at 9am and late check-out at 3pm. very flexible. Althought location abit out of the way, but travelling by taxi is really easy and cheap. Hotels down town are more expensive yet not as comfortable. We paid for a comfortable hotel (big room, clean definitely) at a cheaper rate and spend the money on taxi ride. If you total up, is still cheaper than paying for a town hotel. Would definitely go back to them the next time we go back to Bangkok (if we are... "Fingers Crossed" hee:D) Anyway, 4 thumbs up for the hotel. strongly recommended !!!

The food; go try the Fuji Restaurant at MBK. Really delicious, fresh and best part: Cheap !!! Must try !!! Other than this, the rest are alright. Room Service is nice and cheap. It's really an enjoyment especially when you are dog-tired. 5 thumbs up for the Fuji Rest.

The shopping: same as before I guess, except the change in shops and more "giant" shopping centres around. walk until crazy, tired and pocket empty ha !!! 3 thumbs up for the shopping.

The Tut Tut ride: wow... must buy insurance man before you take this ride. but it's cool (windy) and fun ride. shiok and nice experience (except the fumes and polution). 2 thumbs up.

Take the Taxi if you want to enjoy the aircon instead of the polution... hee:D they are just like our taxis. Some are really new and clean. 3 thumbs up.

Overall experience for Bangkok: 4 thumbs up !!!

Look at the things we bought. aye, we are considered mild already huh. When we were at the airport, we met some singaporeans with really huge bags (those china blue colour type of bags). they really go there and "puu" (hokkien means wipe up the store). hee:D

I like I like!

Me happy... listening to the new mp3 player Ant bought for me...

Not happy to have to do work at this time of the night.... but happy to have my mp3 player to accompany me :)

"Sawatdee Khrap" - for male "Sawatdee Kha" - for female

Yes !!! We are finally going Thailand - Bangkok this weekend.

After the last 2 wasted trips, this time we are really going !!! It was a really last minute plan (hoping to plan at the very last minute so that nothing can stop us from going this round). Recently we have been damn busy, so we are really looking forward to this short little break.

Always wondering why Bangkok is so "HOT"(high 31 low 24)... hotels always fully booked, promo flights also all grap up! But heng ah, managed to find one hotel at last despite the fact that the hotel is a little out of the way.

This is my first time there, so I'm going to find out what's so "HOT" about Bangkok! Stay tuned!!! - Ant

What we call cooking

Got quite sick of eating outside food, so finally got off our lazy asses to do some cooking.

Although not many will call this actual cooking, since it was more of heating up, defrosting cum cooking in the oven etc.. Still, it was good enough for us!

Highly recommended - CP Mexican Wings. Can take directly out from freezer and pop it into the oven. Very delicious!

Not so highly recommended - CP Shrimp wanton, so so only lor.

Can never go wrong - Spaghetti with Prego sauce

Book - Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

Some friends told me the book is very good and I've also read some good reviews. But I found it a little slow and it only really picked up three quarters of the way. I had to switch to another book in between to "take a breather".

Maybe because it was rather depressing - their life, their desperation, how they had literally nothing to their name. And especially when you know it's not fiction but a true life account of the author's life. Of course you have to admire his black humor, how he managed to write so candidly about it.

How?

How do you not feel disappointed?
When it's something you really want.

People tell me not to anticipate
So that you will not feel disappointed when it doesn't happen.

But how do you not anticipate?
When it's something you really want? - jan

Shopping means happiness!

Very happy with my day of shopping! I'm always thankful that my hubby is not one of those who complains about women and their shopping. Instead he always encourages me to go and I know it's cos he wants to see me happy, when i buy things and pamper myself (or let him pamper me! hehe).

Managed to get the things that I wanted. Mmmm.... With wedding dinners to attend for the next 3 consecutive weekends, it was the perfect excuse for a dinner bag , shoes and the most expensive piece of hair accessory I have ever bought! Now the next challenge will be how to use it! - jan
