Indulging, Shopping, Dining - Weekend @ BKK~

Striking off my 3rd toplist - trip to BKK over the wkend ended in a haste...nonetheless it was a safe & sound trip!

Tiger Airways airtics were booked way back in Jan. Free seatings on board so must get-on early. 2 1/2 hr later, sis & myself were greeted by the new BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport which sports a contemporary look. We explored around the airport to find the free shuttle bus to the bus services terminal. While trying to find it, a taxi driver quoted a rate of 600 baht which we know was way out. We managed to catch the free shuttle. Helpful lady @ bus services terminal told us the bus no. to take to reach Rama IV, Silom. It's 556. While we were still checking with her, she realised that 556 was leaving...so she ran out of her ofc to help us stop the bus half-way, and we hopped on!! The bus was an authentic, non-aircon kind that the locals take. With Thai music playing in the backgorund...breeze blowing in while the bus moved...the bus journey was a great xperience=)

We alighted @ the backpacker area, somewhere near Lan Luang Rd and took a cab from there to reach Pan Pacific Bangkok. The cab fare costed around 100 bhat. We checked into the hotel which was booked under associate rates. Staying on 29th floor, our windows looked out to the swimming pool of the hotel. I discovered that I wld'nt be able to take any pics for the subsequent days as I did not bring along the charging base for my cam. Sadly, the cam could not be switched on at all...guess it had hibernated cos the last time I used it, it was on one bar of batt.

Our shopping spree begun and we covered Siam Paragon, CentralWorld, MBK, Platinium Mall, Chutuchak Mkt in these 2 1/2 short days. Especially like Siam Paragon for its Gourmet Mkt which is like Taka basement. Like Platinium Mall for its levels of good tiny shops selling female fashions. Like Chutuchak for its hustle and bustle under the hot sun. When asking for the prices of the stuff, I tried using "tao-rai" (thai version of "how much"). Ended up the shop owners answered in thai and sis and myself could only smiled cos we couldn't understand. Haha so we decided to switch back to Eng version.

Dinnner on the 2nd night at Food Loft @ Central was a really enjoyable xperience. Love the place for its nice ambience settings despite it being a food court. You will be given a "Flavours" card when you enter the place and food will be ordered using that card while payment are made when you exit from the place (similar to Marche). It has nice aesthetic couches by the windows for you to enjoy your meals...food are being served in nice tableware.

Amidst the good shopping and dining, I did not manage to catch much sights and places of interest in BKK except Chulalongkorn Uni and Lumphini Park which are near to PPBBK.

Weekend is here!

Fri night - Met up with Jo, Anlian & Fio....left ofc at 7plus cos I was just too hungry to continue with work...had dinner @ MOF central stage. Spent most of the time queueing for the seats. Went back ofc after a quick dinner while the gers headed to changing appetites for desserts!!! Took a detour last LRT home which brought me to all the diff stops b4 rching my stn...so I ended up spending close to 20 mins on the LRT instead of the usual 5 mins, shld have juz walk home instead bleh...

Sat morn - Woke up @ 10am! Rushing to get ready to go for the lunch buffet @ HTL. This booking was to cbrate dad's belated bdae in Feb. It was a post-dated one as his bdae happens to be in the CNY period and I can't get table at staff rate during then. The six of us including Granny had a hearty lunch b4 heading off to MS to get toys for Janelle. Got a muscial toy for 6mths+ baby for her=) Jan was sleeping soundly when we reached. Especially like her sleeping look...it simply seems so peaceful and without all worries in the world. She'll just sleep and will not be bothered by the noise or adults' talking around her. When she has just woke up, she will open her big eyes and look around her curiously. An adorable baby whom I simply adore and want to hug her. When we left, she was still sleeping...didnt bear to wake her up cos she had just fallen asleep when we arrived. At least saw her...hvn seen her since CNY. I shall find time to come again & play with her next time=)
