DAY 01



VIDEO



We all gathered at the airport, looking fresh and excited, with full of anticipation. Families and love ones of each individual are there to send them off. The whole airport is filled with our laughters. It is unbearable.



We are all going to the land of SMILES!



We turned the plane into a marketplace.



Cheers to everyone for a enjoyable trip ahead.



A beautiful lady sits before us. My official model, Kuek Ziyi is always ready for me, anytime, anywhere! Don't you just love this picture, how beautiful her pose is? And not to forget, those elegant legs.



Our first stop for the trip is Suan Lum Night Bazzaar. There, I had a kick start for a taste of my favourite Tom Yam Kung and Pa Thai. There's even a live concert going on at the night bazzaar.


DAY 02


VIDEO



After a quick 15 minutes of breakfast, we went to the King's Palace. The sun was blazing hot. All our temperature rising. But the structure and little details of the palace, Magnificent!



I don't understand why was I wearing long sleeve that day. I am glad I wasn't in white, because I figured out that my shirt will become transparent. Ouch, that's sexy actually.



Standing under the shade.



Hi, we are all roasted pigs.



Next stop Museum of SIAM. I am not a museum person, I don't know how to appreciate the exhibits. It makes me fall asleep. Nevertheless, there are young school boys out there who said that Vivienne is very beautiful and approaching Desmond for photo taking while a fat girl with a hand phone secretly taking picture of me. Well, that's my fan or some paparazzi.



There were many art students drawing outside the museum. Their drawings are really good. Alright, and so we all conquered the newly opened Museum of SIAM.



After lunch at Fisherman's Village (where we actually saw PM Samak when we were about to leave), we went meeting advertising guru Mr Kitti at Publicis.



Mr Kitti is a funny and inspirational man, our IDOL!



We heated up Publicis.



My virgin experience on the Cruise for dinner.



Off the cruise went into the middle of the sea.



We were singing, dancing, kallang waving and looking at the fireworks, so romantic!


DAY 03



VIDEO



We spent about an hour of traveling to the famous floating market. Both me and Marvin head the boat.



It was really fun, however, it can be quite dangerous too. Look at the heavy traffic jam at the floating market, interesting isn't it?



They took a beautiful picture of both me and Marvin. I am so glad Marvin bought it home.



Our tour guide Joyce took this beautiful group photo for us!



After the floating market, we all went shopping at SIAM Center. Here we are at KOKA Restaurant. The Tom Yam Kung is really delicious here. Talking about it makes me drool.



After shopping, we took the train to the massage parlor. Their train is clean and fast, comparable to that of Singapore's MRT.



6 of us in a VIP Room. It was my first time wearing the Thai casual costume, it is very comfortable. I regretted not buying a set home. Argh damm it!


DAY 04



VIDEO



We spent the whole afternoon shopping at Chatuchak Market. I was so happy and contented shopping there although it is freaking hot. When I was there 2 years ago, I didn't really know how to navigate. But with the help of Sawanee this time round, I managed to get what I was looking for. At one point of time, Marvin and Zhi Hao were tired and gave up walking with me. Good thing I found Ziyi, who was lost, and we then shop happily together.



We then have a critique session in the hotel's conference room where everyone gets to share to the class on the Essence of Bangkok. Look at Peiying glamour face and Hafi's wind blow her face expression. They truly deserve to be on TOP. Do you wanna be on TOP too?



The lecturers gave us a surprise at a mystery venue. It was a private VIP room with 2 bowling lanes and Karaoke. We were especially touched by them. Thank you!


DAY 05


VIDEO



It was a FREE & EASY day for everyone. We woke up early in the morning and I brought them to the Four-Face Buddha at Erawan Hotel. I feel so great after praying there. After that, we had OMG yes! My favourite Baskin 31 Robbins Ice Cream!



Here is darling Marvin with my Spongebob Bag. And yea, we were all told to wear yellow because Monday is the day for Thais to wear yellow. It's the colour for the KING.



We had our last and final lunch at this beautiful Japanese restaurant at SIAM Square.



Our final ride on the cab back to the hotel. A moment of emotional struggle for me. When we reached the hotel lobby, we had to do the final packing for our luggage. I have 3 luggage in total, special thanks to Kason and Marvin who assisted me in squeezing all my stuffs in the final luggage.



Checking in at the airport. Seriously, we were all reluctant to go back to Singapore. We just can't get enough of Thailand.



Enjoying the last few air in Bangkok.



That's the end of my update for Bangkok Trip 2008.

I love you Bangkok!
I miss you Bangkok!
I want you Bangkok!
I will be back Bangkok!


(By then, I guess the feeling will be very much different, without the 40 of you that is. Let's go on another holiday end of this year?!)


I like Thai people, they are nice, friendly and funny. Anyone from Thailand reading my blog?

"Sa Wa Dee Krap,
can I make friends with you?
