Postnote: Its confirmed! I will be going to BKK again nxt sat! Woohoo! Hahaha! Platinum!!!
Day 2
Today, i woke up with a super achey body!
From all the walk + massage =.=’
For breakfast, we had room service!
I had chicken noodle soup and tea!

Gotcha! Was teh susu and chicken flavoured cup noodles la! Haha! I didnt know instant teh susu can taste so nice! Yums! Because we only had 4 complimentary breakfast tickets for 2 rooms, auntie jenny and family went down while we stayed up.
Today is shopping day! So i borrowed a backpack from bro and brought it over. Then i can squeeze all the packets inside with my 2 hands free and carrying more! Hiaks!
Comfy attire for shopping! LOL. Except for first half of day 1 and the last day, i only brought polo tees to wear! Because i only feel comfortable perspiring (so much) in them.
Our taxi.
I dont know if all hotels have the same service, but ours will take note of the cab’s number so that if anything happens, we can go to them for help.
Bored you know, got jams.
Because of the jams midway, we got down the cab and crossed the overhead bridge, walked a little more and on the way:
enjoy the sights of a saturday morning in thailand.
and then we arrived at the 1st destination for the day:
The Platinum!
Woah, this mall i tell you, is so damn shiok, a definite must come when you are in thailand! Even after 3 whole hours in there i still cannot finish exploring the entire mall. The whole place is so big, the shops so small, i think there are at least 500 shops in there. I got confused whether i’ve walked down this or that stretch of shops already or not. Also, this place is a wholesale place so when you buy more than 1 item, they sell you your stuffs at the wholesale price which is cheaper. They sell loads of really fashionable tops, bottoms, footwear, bags and many more! And guess what, i managed to get some of my tops there too! And not auntie auntie kind somemore! Price wise each top costs freaking S$8 only + quality quite good and footwear are selling as cheap as S$4 per pair. I was super reluctant to leave after 3 hours.
Some of my buys there:
I think mine kinda look like me, isnt it? HAHA!
And this bro ah,
me: hang up the sign already not?
bro: my own room i know wheres the bathroom what.
me: hang la then buy for you already no use waste money.
despite him saying that, few days later he came to tell me he hung his up already. heehee. and helped me with mine. LOL.
So cute!
So cute!
We then cabbed back to the hotel and had some snacks auntie tik bought for us:
This is the nicest kaya bread i have ever eaten in my entire life. Im not exaggerating, it is so that nice. The bread is soft and fluffy, with the filling so creamy.
So nice that we brought 13 boxes of it back to singapore.
However we didnt know that there is also the brown kaya version. We only knew about it when we came back. I didnt try the brown version – all the boxes were given away so fast (cause can only keep for 3 days)! Mum said that the brown one also nice but the green one is more fragrant.
This is my favourite snack of thailand!
After everyone came back, we went for lunch at the basement of MBK!
The huge glass of fruit juice is refillable.
We ordered so much that we couldnt finish everything. As you can see, the portions were huge and even with the 10 of us we still couldnt finish up. I didnt managed to take pictures of all the food because due to the design of the seats, those seating outside (me + auntie tik) have to help pass the new dishes in and empty dishes out + we were so busy clearing up dishes after dishes because the speed at which they serve is so super fast and the table isnt big enough for all of them. Food wise some nice, some are not. The nicest is the chai po (preserved radish) egg!
After the super full lunch, its shopping time again in MBK itself, all 7 levels of it. Mum and i went all the way up to the 7th floor and shop down level by level.
On the way up, i took a picture with the Queen of Thailand (if im not wrong):
AND AND AND!
GUESS WHICH SUPERSTAR I SAW!!!!

WOO! HAHA!
MBK is more of a mixture of shops like electronics, jewellery, fashion, cinema, just like how a typical singapore shopping mall. Though i managed to get some tops here too but i still greatly preferred The Platinum. More kick you know. LOL.
In the midst of looking for a particular shop, i saw my favourite Baskin Robbins (why isnt it available here?)!
Paradise tea and mangosteen sorbet. Im a tea-ish person. And they were super yums!
Since mum roughly knew the way and i dont, i just followed behind her, looking at the shops while enjoying my ice cream when she braked suddenly -> my holding ice cream hand knock into her back -> my body knocked into the cup.
In which i ended up like that:
Scroll up and look at the edge of the ice cream cup again.
LOL.
I then had to continue the rest of my shopping like this:
Hand very sour and numb you know! LOL. Mum was so apologetic about it la. Im so lucky i had just that 1 more extra polo tee for me to change in to.
Their tops market is sort of like our market place. Everytime i walked past the fruits, my mouth auto secretes saliva you know? They are that fresh and delicious looking! Especially the grapes.
Acting on a tip off:
Hiaks.
Drank alot of water but never went to the toilet at all. Because all came out as perspiration!
Im always looking out of the window.
Anyway, nothing much to shop also shopped for 3 hours =D
After unpacking a little, we set off for dinner @ somboon seafood, which in my opinion is the jumbo seafood of thailand. But because they have 6 branches, must be sure that you go to the correct one, the branch that my mum’s friends went the other time not nice.
This is the one to go!
So crowded, we had to wait for at least 20 minutes before we got a table.
Their famous curry crab:
Damn nice ok! So much so we ordered 2nd rounds.
I wonder why there are different tom yum soups. One is lighter in colour which is sourish and the other redder, not as sour. I prefer the sourish one because it is sour (LOL) and whets my appetite but not the red one because it is full of (spices) residue which i dont really like.
Dessert was mango sticky (glutinous) rice! I dont eat mango but mum asked me to try because its really nice. Not too bad! Mango was really sweet and rice was sooo fragrant. But i still dont like mango la. Haha.
Must drink coconut juice in thailand! But i prefer those small brown ones. And thats auntie tik!
After cabbing back to the hotel, we gave auntie tik our goodbye hugs because she wont be sending us off to the airport. Shes such a nice person =) Hope to see her in singapore/thailand soon!
We then finished up the remaining packing and went to bed early. All were dead beat from the whole 6 hours of shopping today + those fatigue and ache-ness that were brought over from day 1.

Day 3
Sadly, it was the day to go home!
Pics abit dark, please brighten you screen accordingly =P thats my very good and still unspoilt fan!
Because its the 1st/15th of the lunar month, the adults will be having half a day of vegetarian so just nice us 4 kids went down for breakfast.
Then it was to the airport!
The return flight was super full too. And there were so many crew onboard some of which were eyecandies! During mealtime, there were like 4 on each side of the aisle? which is like 8 of them? Haha first time seeing so many of them altogether.
Their meals quite nice leh! The fried fish with the fried rice. Yums.
That sums up the whole of my whole 3D2N trip. Actually not really if you count the days, only 1.5 days in fact. Nevertheless it was a really fun trip! I cant wait to go again! Also, thailand is really the land of smiles. The people there are so polite and they greet you not for the sake of greeting just because they are in the service line. You know the hotel staff greeted us one by one when we walked past in a group? We greeted them with huge smiles back, it makes your day to see such nice people, unlike people from that particular place that i’ve said. So big difference ok!
Haha!
Yup, till the next trip!
PS: Earlier on, mum typed bangkoko instead of bangkok, then she sit there and LOLed at herself. Then she asked me over to LOL at her too.
LOL!
