Bangkok Trip! Day 1!

I'm back from Bangkok! Was a good trip I would say, although I spent most of the time in Platinum Fashion Mall... Chatuchak Weekend Market was interesting, saw many things ranging from animals, food, fashion apparels, etc. You name it, they have it! Hahaha! Shopping was super duper tiring, especially when 19 out of 20 shops sell female stuffs... But still, traveling with 3 lovely girls was a new unique experience for me. Shall let the pictures do some talking.

Preparing for take off! Nice cloudy morning!

That's me! All excited for the plane ride as usual.

Up, up in the air!

Check out the paddy fields! First sign of entering Thailand!

Reached Bangkok airport, and took a cab to Baiyoke Sky Hotel! Their taxi meter is actually pretty cheap, we traveled around 37km for only ฿370baht(SGD$12), including ฿70baht for troll and ฿50baht surcharge!

The tallest hotel in Southeast Asia! Baiyoke Sky Hotel! 309m!

Hotel was alright, friendly & helpful staffs, 24 hours restaurant which serves nice and affordable food! I think we got upgraded for free to superior suite due to insufficient rooms. Our rooms were dope! Living room and bed room with walk in wardrobe and huge toilet!

The hallway in the bedroom that leads to the wardrobe and toilet. Didn't take much picture of the room.

So we unloaded our stuffs and off we went to explode this part of Bangkok! The street was pretty chaotic, vehicles all over, people pushing carts and narrow pathways, but we managed to reach our destination, Platinum Fashion Mall! The reason my lovely girl chose this hotel was because its located near this Fashion Mall.

Lunch! Glass noodle! The spices was so hot that I had to give up my noodle as I mixed too much of it unknowingly...

Fried oyster with egg! This was pretty good.

Pity I didn't have picture of their mango with sticky rice, that's like the best dessert ever! Hahaha! Went back to hotel in the evening, had dinner, took a stroll around hotel area and rested for the day since we all woke up early to catch the flight. That's all for day 1! Stay tuned!

Towards the quarter!

Hohoho! I'm still alive! & its July! This is the month I enlisted 2 years ago! Man, time flies! Haha! I'm currently clearing my leaves and offs. 3 more working days and I'll officially become a NS-men!

A series of events are going to happen this month... Bangkok vacation, back to studying... Hmmm hope I can cope with these.

And about my daily life, nothing much, just eating and having fun all day! Slacking to be exact. I've even grown a real disturbing tummy. Got to start running but its hard... The time never seems to be right. I guess I really need a change!

Below are the reasons why I've some excessive fats on my stomach!

Home-made sunny side up and pancakes!

Plaster and Kor-song from Prata House!

Duck rice!

Some yummy noodle!

Wack chilly soft drinks with high sugar content due to warm weather!

鼎泰丰! My favorite fried rice!

Katong 328 Laksa! Unbeatable!

Pepper Lunch's ice cream! Affordable and taste good!

How can I not have fats?! But I will fight this battle and win!

Cable car, Underwater World & Dolpfine Lagoon!

$26 for cable car ride from cable car center to Sentosa, access to Underwater World & Lagoon before returning in cable car again! Totally worth it! This offer is valid till 26th June! Go for it now!

Finally get to sit on cable car & visit Underwater World again after more than a decade! Felt pretty excited!

Keppel Bay! The place where elites hang out? Haha!

Resorts World Sentosa! Everything will be just fine once those construction are complete!

Sea Turtle! There is actually a viewing gallery from below.

Seahorse! As elegant as Stallions!

Japanese Spider Crabs! Can't imagine if spiders are of their size, hahaha!

The Leafy Sea Dragons! Best camouflage!

Pinocchio fish!

And I spotted this one & only fish in the aquarium! I might be wrong though... Haha!

The Crown Fish and its anemone!

And lastly, the Jelly Fishes! I wonder whats going through their heads...

Skinny Pizza is for the skinnies.

Went to check out Skinny Pizza at Wheel Lock Place on Saturday and it turned out to be a great disappointment. I think they shouldn't even be called pizza. All I see were crispy thin doughs with ingredients on top. Well, they have this Lobster Pasta which looked pretty decent... Not sure about the taste as we didn't try.

Try at your own risk :D ahaha!

Forgot the names of the pizzas, but this one is basically like curry chicken... Can't even taste the yogurt stated in the menu...

Just meat balls.

This one tasted the best out of the 3.

And we saw this on the way home. A dude actually went to shake him up and asked him where he was supposed to get off, haha!

Birthday eve treats!

My baby brought me to eat at The Magic of ChongQing Hotpot at TangLin Shopping Center! A nice place for steamboat! Good ambiance and nice service! Their beef are so nicely sliced that we only had to dip it into the soup for around 8 seconds! And their 8 treasure tea tasted pretty refreshing!

The name of the store!

Spicy and chicken soup!

The babe & her fish paste! Oops, all in the pot already, haha!

My turn!

& Häagen-Dazs! All free for me :D Strawberry & Mango and Passion Fruit!

Then we caught a movie, Something Borrowed! Not bad for a love story, haha! Headed back to Yishun and bought beancurb to Yishun Dam as dinner before heading home! Haha, what a day!

Yummy!

Certified glutton! Hahaha!

Thanks my beloved girlfriend for the treats! Damn, the calories intake for the day must be sky rocket! Time to exercise! That is if I can get my lazy ass to move :D hahaha!

I am not dead!

Hello! Long time no blog! Hahaha! Check out my ORD countdown timer on the right! Its down to less than 2 months! Gosh... Time flies! & I'm going to be 22 years old in no time! Hahaha!

Should I get Iphone 4 or should I wait for Iphone 5, which is said to be released in September. My contract have already ended since April... What a dilemma...

And I want to go overseas in July! But I'm kind of tight on budget... Can't go anywhere further than Malaysia, sucks!

Oh, I've been accepted by RMIT, hope it won't be too tough! Starting school in 1st August I think... Which means I need a part-time job soon!

Okay, thats all for now, hope that I'll get a camera phone soon and revive my blog like how it used to before I enlisted :D ciao!

Gantz rocks!

Turi Beach Batam 16 - 17 April 2011

Went to Turi Beach Resort at Batam with Lynette on the 16th of April! The reason we went there is because my baby needed a quick get away quickly & I wanted to try out purchasing a coupon which is pretty popular these days, so I bought a coupon from http://www.coupark.com

So my dad sent us to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in the morning, around 8am, collected out ferry tickets and pay $20 each for some tax shit.

While waiting for the gate to open!

Reached Nongsapura Ferry Terminal at Batam.

Learned from my cousin that the reason this place is called Nongsapura is because the place is a project between Indonesia & Singapore's government to develop the Nongsa of Batam. That's probably the reason why most resorts there uses SGD.

Got a shock when I arrived at the resort as it was so beautiful and well maintained.

A portion near the reception.

Beautiful view of the pool! This is actually the old pool.

New pool! The one we swam in.

A peep into our humble room.

Decent toilet. Wasn't expecting a bathtub cause I don't really need one and from my experiences, beach resort usually don't have one, unless its those 5 star resorts.

Well, we actually had some problem with our room. First, the key for the safe was lost, so we can't use it and the sliding door for the balcony was broken and we had to wait around 30 minutes for someone to get it fixed.

Always go for Nasi Goreng when on vacation in Batam! Yummy!

They have this real long 'jetty' that extends roughly 200m out into the sea and at 1 point of the 'jetty' has this Island Bar or something, pretty chilling.

Can't believe we slept on the hammock for around 3o to 45 minutes!

And we went for a swim! Its fun to take picture underwater!

Peace!

Went to Batam Center to get some cheap ass daily necessaries before heading back to Singapore. Great trip overall, looking forward to my next get away!
