*~ Cherindipity Moments ~*

Nope.. not the real New York but the eating place at City Link mall~ wat to do.. poor me can only afford a "ticket" to the restaurant k~ ;)

*~The Food Menu~*

Like a paper except laminated. Nice ;)

*~Wen's World Class Caesar Salad~*

No kidding! it says WORLD CLASS! Check the receipt at the end if u must!

*~My Jiggy Piggy~*

Yup it was pig alright~

*~Dav's Spag Alfredo w Pork Chop~*

uh-huh.. also pig..

*~Pei's Brats wrapped in Bacon~*

Brats not like kids yeah? I'm sure you know wat it means..

*~Us happy and tummy-filled~*

Except the lousy waiter was a little on the 'rude' side, i think he was gay and didn't like me teasing dav.. -_-

*~Us even happier with cotton candy~*

Poor dav had to act manly and couldn't have any~ haha~ :P

*~All it cost is... ~*

Wasn't too bad for a trip for 4 right? ;)

Siew wah's wedding at Marina Mandarin :) She was so pretty! But poor girl was very ill from a cold she had for a month??? And I wondered why she had no jie mei to carry her handphone, so I kaypoh-ed and offered to hold it while she had her solemnization. Isn't it strange for a bride to be carrying her hp in her hand everywhere she went?? :P
Being a little too early and tempted by chris to thicken my skin, mi decided to test my "freelance" wedding photography skills with my Samsung NV3, 7.1megapixels~

*~Everyone's waiting~*


*~Wedding bands~*


*~The silly guys~*

The following shots were under low light okie.. mine is ONLY an automatic camera.. :P


*~Love is in the air~*


*~Chris's Plate~*

Chris was hungry for lobster.. i tried to stop him but.. wat to do?? aii.. funny guy..
(well.. poor Chris went out to take a call.. and the guys planted an empty-shelled lobster on his plate, why ah!! so childish -_-" *heehee~*)


*~Finally, our table photo~*

The happily married couple, Zack and Siew Wah. :) Saw their wedding video, so impressed, Zack was crying so much :P He must have been really happy when ah-hua agreed to marry him.. aww.. *~Congrats to the lovely couple!~*

A last minute decision to go to villa bali after work on a friday night. Shiv's last day in EQC.Singapore cos he was going to Santa Ana for 6mths ~ a year.... We talked about going there for drinks for almost a yr and it finally happened :P

*~Villa Bali~*


*~The girls and their champagne~*
So now i know champagne is from Champagne! haha i'm still wondering what's that ice-wine minmin ordered the last time.. :( no one seems to know wat ice-wine is.. WHY!! *cry*


*~Wedges & Wings~*
Always a good choice for finger food~ :D


*~Some prawn dish~*
Something Zana & Mich had..


*~Our Mixed Platter for 4~*
Turned out to be pretty huge.. i still preferred the wedges and wings though..


*~Us happily squashed together on the couch~*

the 2nd shopping trip for me and sophia, and a first with cindy who joined us for the first time~

*~ Cindy, Sophia, ME ~*

Tiger is the only airline that operates at the budget terminal, but i always find it so cool to board the plane in this manner~ feels like it could be your own private plane.. :P

*~ Getting on the Tiger from budget terminal ~*
19th Jan 2008
city with one of the worst traffics.. they can fit 4 or 5 cars on 3 lanes.. and yet traffic is usually bad. But its still a pretty sight cos of the colorful taxis.

*~ oooo colorful! ~*

after some good amount of shopping, we decided to replenish energy by trying the KFC in bangkok, just as a comparison to SG. As you can see, the portion looks pretty small...

*~ our KFC meal! *starved* ~*
20th Jan 2008
back on the road again.. mostly walking.. we girls were amazing.. we walked so much i can't even express how much. when we were unwilling to pay unreasonable amounts for tuktuks, we walked. when we didnt get a good bargain on the price, we walked too..
got a pick of some electronic board about the road but didn't know what it meant.

*~ bangkok looks more hi-tech than sg... ~*

*~ traditional phone booths that no one uses anymore ~*

Bangkok is a shopping paradise! The usual places we visit.. Platinum - if you wanna get multiple pieces of the same design, u can pay at wholesale price!

*~ Platinum Fashion Mall ~*

Hmm a more atas choice but u find a big Naraya outlet here.

*~ Central World ~*

MBK is always good for 199 baht items and other mid-range shopping~

*~ MBK ~*

After all that shopping we were of course hungry again.. and settled dinner in MBK.

*~ finally found a dinner place.. ~*

*~ yay japanese food ~*

*~ followed by dessert! ~*
21st Jan 2008
Next day we visited Rachavongse (bangkok's chinatown).. can't really recall how that was..
just had photos about the river taxi we took~

*~ our river taxi tix from Rachavongse ~*

*~ waiting for the river taxi to Sathon Bridge Pier ~*

*~ there it is! ~*

*~ view from the boat ~*

BTW is the bangkok train system~ A nice cheap and air conditioned way to travel, also to avoid getting stuck in the traffic jams.

*~ our BTS passes ~*

Chester's grill is all over the place in bangkok, we had to try...

*~ yet another fast food meal from Chester's Grill ~*

On our walk to Suan-lum night market we came a cross a nice memorial area. After a bit of googling, i learnt that it was the Rama VI statue.

*~ Rama VI Statue ~*




This statue stands at the south-western entrance to Lumphini Park and is of Rama VI (1881-1925). His reign was characterized by Siam's movement further towards democracy and minimal participation in World War I. King Rama VI instigated the building of Lumphini Park.

*~ suan-lum night bazaar ~*

Just in time to take a photo with a tuk tuk driver who was taking a break..

*~ im to tuktuk driver!! ~*

before the 6pm National anthem went off, and u will see everyone standing very still in respect to the country.

*~ National anthem playing ~*

And we shopped till it turned dark.. before heading back to the hotel again.

*~ this is why u will still find suan lum in the dark ~*

The next day we made it a point to get some A&W, our 3rd fast food in BKK.. but this is only because there is no longer any A&W outlets in singapore. :P

*~ cos we have no more A&W in sg.. ~*
22nd Jan 2008
Finally, we did have some good thai food for lunch~ (Took the photo from MBK only in the night..)
*~ Yum Saap opposite MBK~*

*~ lunch feast ~*

Went over to MBK again, and decided to catch a movie.. which made me very very ill from motion sickness, and i had to puke all my dinner out when the movie ended.

*~ our movie tix to Cloverville ~*

On our way back, the roadside prata looked too good.. we had it with bananas if my memory has not failed me.. :)

*~ roadside prata, nice! ~*

Plus some supermarket food for supper~
*~ our bedtime drinks ~*

*~ and bedtime snacks ~*
