BAngkok 5

Finally I am having a little less pain in resting my legs, so I am using this time to blog. I have taken medical leave on Friday and stayed home till today (Monday). Was pretty bedridden all this while. Lol. The thighs ache and hurt whenever I move. Jun Wen was in my house all this while and having a great time eating and eating.. Lol. He drank about 4 to 5 packets of drinks a day, and helped himself with the oranges on my kitchen table. He also scurried to our MioTV while I was sleeping. When I woke up and to my horror, I caught him eating my ice-cream! :D He is so gonna to eat my whole house away.



28th April 2012

We went for cakes, as Simba had been insisting that I need to have a cake on my birthday. We were too full to have one on my actual birthday, so we had a belated cake the following day.

We stopped by a cafe in MBK as it looked like the right place to let our hair down. :D





The Coffee World Cafe







Again, around us were all Ang Mohs.
His vintage tee was from the Platinum Mall too. It costs just $6!








My one slice of birthday cake. New York Cheesecake. It has a very smooth texture. I like!
I know this is a fantastic picture! Lol. The lighting happened to be at the right place and Simba was blurred out, centering the attention on the cake.








Angry at me again. Lol. I forgot why. Could be that I commented on his fatter face. Lol. Oops!
Saw the iTouch? He brought it to Bangkok without the single tinge of fear that he might lose it. iPad is too heavy, so iTouch was his good companion (not me,sadly) whenever he gets to rest.








The nice caramel whipped cream on top of the latte. I don't really like caramel since it is too sweet. But decided to give myself a big fattening treat this time. Lol. Simba wasn't stopping me too (He is very health conscious) since I am Queen on my birthday, according to his logic.








Then we went along the linkway bridge, heading to the Siam Discovery Centre.






The screams underneath the bridge made us want to find what the commotion was about.
A Korean band was performing outside MBK. Although I didn't know who they were, I stayed for a while to catch a glimpse of how they look like as I was convinced by all the loud screams that these Korean stars must be super famous!






The Bangkok traffic. The bus was going very close to the tuk-tuk.







And here we are, at Siam Discovery. I didn't know why it is a Discovery Centre since erm.. there is nothing scientific about it. I mean the Omnitheatre is in Siam Paragon, not here.








Cute busy Jap restaurant we passed by in the Discovery Centre. The food must be good. If u have lots of patience and a big craving for high quality food, u have to try this.





We wanted to head back to our hotel and rest for awhile before going to our next destination (My legs were too painful!) but we couldn't get any cab! To add to our misery, the rain came without any hesitation!






The basement of Siam Paragon. It was having a few exhibits on Underwater creatures. We took a few polaroids with the Mermaid and some other characters. Show u next time k!







He loves pretending to feed animals. Lol. Thought it was creative.
Thou if he fed it this way, he might be the one being fed.







One cart by the roadside selling "fresh" orange juice. The double quote was to specify that we got conned. Although the cart store owner claimed that the juice is fresh, it was made from orange syrup with water. Lol. Update me on the definition of fresh. Isn't fresh supposed to mean freshly squeezed from the orange fruit?







And yea, we were back to our hotel after a while of waiting for a cab.
This is a painting in our hotel hallway. Thought it was well illustrated. :P









Our hotel buggy. I only knew that we can ask the hotel staff to ferry us to the main road from our alley using this buggy the last day of our trip. Simba said he knew it initially but he just didn't tell me. (I doubt he was speaking the truth since he didn't suggest us taking the buggy all along!)


We wanted to go to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar after the long rest but it seemed like the cab drivers resisted driving us there. We were really puzzled, so we walked back to our hotel to surf updates on the bazaar, only to find out that it was shut down few months back. Oh no! I was there 7 years back and remembered we rode on the ferris wheel, shot down balloons to win a Hamtaro plushie for Song Hua! 


We searched for more night markets but couldn't find one that we are suited for. I came up with the Night Market near the Siam area. I remembered seeing the busy area when our cab zoomed it by the night before.






So again, we passed through the Siam Discovery to get to the Siam Night Market.
The place was actually promoting the Wax Exhibition which is coming in next month I think.
This is Jim Carrey pointing to Simba!






And we went for a treat at the classy 9th Cafe on the top floor of Siam Discovery. Other restaurants were closed and we were dead hungry.
I really like the 9th Cafe. The service is great, the food awesome and the juices unbelievably nice!







The seats are those sofa kind.
We each hugged a cushion while we ate. Lol.








The classiest cafe we have been to in Bangkok serves good food at only SGD10! Omg. If u head to Ding Tai Feng in Singapore, u end up spending $20+ for a lunch!











Finally a photo of me! Lol. Do u like my blouse?! It is so cool! Bought it in Bonanza Mall for just $8 I think! The lacey gold skirt is from Khao San Night Market for about $8 too.





Love my juice. It is a mix of many freshly squeezed, yes FRESHLY SQUEEZED juices!
Forgot which juices, but remind me when u go there to dine next time k!











I remember his juice. Apple + Pineapple + Carrot. I can't imagine the taste but it turned out to be nicer than mine! I told him to throw the apple into the drink to enhance the taste but he didn't want to.







My nicest pasta ever!







And he ate the apple. He loves this photo so much that he wanted to make it his profile pic. I had a difficult time persuading him not to.










Recognise her? I'm with her on the stage. Lol. Don't be jealous! And yes, pink is the new in. I'm wearing pink socks, totally not trying to match my outfit. Lol.







This wax figure looked so real that it horrifies me.











The cat decos at the basement. Took some polaroids with it too.



















C-U-T-E!



We didn't take any pictures of the Siam Night Market since night markets look the same everywhere. Lol. But I wanna say I love Siam Night Market the most! Was feeling pretty low that I didn't spend it all there! It was the last night there and I didn't have enough money! I already spent over my budget and so decided not to change for more Thai Bahts, despite the constant persuasion from Jun Wen. Lol.

Go to Siam Night Market the first night u are there and spend all your money there with no regrets okie! I was like wowed at everything in every store there.





We bought breezers from 7-11 back since they are so cheap! The Mixed Berry one is a Limited Edition. And of course, I'm allergic to berries so Simba had to drink it.







Behind him were the stack of clothes we bought for that day. Jun Wen has a habit of trying all the clothes he bought that day excitedly and then packing them nicely into his baggage.


That's all for the 3rd day in Bangkok.
Update u guys soon! Nights!
