Bkk Day 7 - Indra Regent, Driver, Officer, Complains

Oh no ~ it was the last day of our trip.

I'm totally not enthu about returning back to my home sweet home. Yup, we went for 7 days and i believed that we did not spend any single days blindly. We went to many tourist attractions. Bangkok was much too fun to stop my return.

We woke up for our very last meal ~ oh choy choy choy *piak my mouth 3 times*
We woke up for our very last breakfast in the hotel. We had a sumptuos meal like before. This time round, it was toally different.

We stayed there until the buffet restaurant closed their door. Ooh hoo ~ it's cool right?

It's not cool enough yet!!! There were more definitely. Guess what?

Happenings:
Yan and i stole the butter and jam from the buffet
table. Oops, we were not some kiasu aunts of coz. It's just that their butter
really taste too nice.


Trust me, you should try their butter and jam. The taste was really different lo. Their butter really damn nice. We stole back for our mum of coz. Take and run.

Next, we went back to pack our luggage. We had a hard time packing. Previously, during my stay, they will see us through the CCTV and volunteer to come up on their own. But this time round, it seems like no one was at the CCTV watching. Therefore i made a call to them.



Yan was behind us. Can tell? (see pic above)
The bellboy sent our stuffs down and we went to check out. The person tore up the receipt to show the invalid payment and we went to Indra Regent. We went to change some cash and followed Zy to buy her dress.

Yup, she bought 2 dress and she was grinning happily about the great deal as it was really very cheap.

Next, we went back to Indra Regent. We bought some accessories which were freakingly cheap. It was so much cheaper than Singapore that we can't resist the temptation.

How cheap?
50 cent for a button ear rings
50 cent for a mother of pearl ear rings


Damn cheap?
We bought some accessories for hand. It was of good quality definitely. Singpore price would be usually around SGD 20 plus but Bkk only selling for $10 or less. It's heavenly down there.


*please don't drag me home*

Zy bought her denim shorts and went to try in the toilet. Next we went for massage. 360 baht for 1 hour 45 min. Singapore usually charge according to minute. The usual price - $1 per min. That means, 1hr 45 min would cost me $105. In Bkk, it only cost $18.

Happenings:
Yan and I saw our "dream bag". I shall say straw
bag. We have looking everywhere for the straw bag. We were short of Thai Baht
and we exchange with Zy. Hahahahaha - we were damn desperate at that point of
time that we force Zy to be our money changer. Hahahahaha ~
(",)



Happenings:
We then went to bargain for Zy. The guy was a real
chao ah gua. He refused to give discount in a rude way and i cannot tolerate
him. I even stood behind him and start cursing him in chinese.



Happenings:
I met the woman who did massgage for me previously
and she could still remember me!!!



The massage was so much better than the previous one. It was so much more comfy.

Happenings:
The person hold on to my head
and kept swinging left and right. It was so funny as if i'm on some pills that i
simply can't stop laughing at all. The person wanted to crack me joint, but she
couldn't.



What's worst?
She redo the process for me and it cracked this time round.

Happenings:
I relax the most during the massage. The person
would usually twist your joints to help you more in flexibility. Definitely,
mine was twisted and it was the LOUDEST.


*crack* and they all laugh at
me.




They even serve us with some nice tea after the massage.
After the massage, we went back to pack our luggage. The bellboy was very nice to tie up Zy big ah-chiam bag for her.

We request for cab. You definitely expecting something to happen next right?

We told Boonchu's friend that we will be calling him on the day we return. But we never called him because we find him a pest and it's dangerous to be in his car.

Happenings:
Tio 4D also not to accurate. We really tio his cab.
We were all so shocked to see the accesories hanging on his front mirror and it
was damn familiar to us. We board the cab out of no choice since the bellboy had
already carried everything in for us.



Btw, we did not gave them any tips. Still, they bid a farewell with a happy face.
Boonchu's friend kept driving by looking at his right as usual. OMG - i dislike him.
We reached the Airport finally. Next, we went searching for our terminal and checking in point.





Happenings:
We met those girls in front. I can't say
it's happening, but they just went on staring at us during the queue. They
were all in not very good form but dressed sexily. I guess they mesmerized Yan.
Oops =x
They gossiped about us while we did the same to them as well. Wahahahaha...

After checking in, we went to the boarding station. We went to queue for our passport to be stamp. We forgotten to fill in the application form.

Happenings:
The officer in-charge could have advise us to move to another
side to fill in our form. But he did not. He just ask for another female
officer. The female officer was damn rude. You will be surprised
about what she did to us.


"GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OF THE LINE!"



I really don't see the reason for her -
horrible
terrible
incredible
and totally vegetable attitude

No matter what, we were tourist. How could she be so rude. Yan, Zy and I were freaking pissed off. We simply can't tolerate her anymore. We made up plans to curse them one by one. In the end, there was a change of plan.

Happenings:
I tried to talk to the officer in-charge(actual,
not the female yet). He called for the female officer again. His attitude was
like shit.


Jeanne: I hope that you can treat us tourist with some respect
and i really don't appreciate the attitude you are showing to us.
Female Officer: HUH!
Jeanne: You told us to get out of the line. It's very rude of you.
Yan: At least a please!
Jeanne: Hmph!



Next, we walked off in a very sui manner. Hahahahaha ~ (",)

Happenings:
The female officer face turned black on the
spot.



We forget about the manner very soon and continue our happy life.
We went to have pasta. I love their pasta. I had their Lasagne on the very last Christmas. It was superb yummy and i recommend Yan and Zy to try it out.
We ordered one Mushroom flavour and the Lasagne.



It was so nice and we were damn full.

Happenings:
Before flying, we even went toilet to gek sai together.


We were flying back to Singapore le. Yeahhhhhh - my foot.
I don even had the urge to go home. I turn to Zy and ask her if she had the enthu to be home, she said "ok la". I turned to Yan and ask the same question again, she said "not enthu at all lei".
Yan said Bkk is so much more fun than Singapore. Well said!!! I totally agreed.
The ride was horrible and the jerking kept going non-stop.
On reaching Singapore, we went DFS.
Happenings:
Yan and I bought the same perfume. I thought of
buying th Dior perfume but i bought escada in the end. Dior smell sweet, but my
Chanel smells even better. No point buying the same perfume, therefore i chose
Escada. Stronger smell but more long lasting i guess.

My bf drove Yan home and he continued to be lost in expressway. Shan't say any further. That's all.

Bkk Day 6 - Grand Palace, Sarongs, Platinum, Clothes, AW, Sick


Early in the morning, we cabbed to Grand Palace right after breakfast. It was a very last minute decision as we couldn't really made up our mind of going Grand Palace or not since it's a sacred place. But still, we decided to take a look there. It's all for the sake of knowledge.

On entering the main entrance, we were told to rent sarongs as we were wearing shorts. So we went ahead with it. The fitting room was very crowded and we got a room for ourselves. We were stuck in the fitting room for more than 15 minutes.


Happenings:
It was our very first experience of wearing
sarongs. We seriously don't know how to go about wearing it. The length doesn't
seems to be right, and we can't figure out properly about the tying knots and
stuffs. We really had a hard time wearing the sarongs, helping one another
out.


Yan then decided to wear it high waisted. Well, new vintage style ~ good good.

We were all very paranoid that the sarong may drop anytime. Hahahahaha ~

Happenings:
Zy kept whining about an
ang-moh who kept praising her beautiful. It was scary
though.




It was really a very grand place. They even did renovation to keep the place going. Everyone was forbidden to access to upper storey.



The buidings had been there for over hundred years and it's still well kept till now.




Happenings:
While Zy was taking photo
of us, one of the ang-moh actually face his camera towards us and took a picture
of us. OMG, i really don't know what he was trying to do.


Happenings:
The ang-moh who took our pic
steathily offered to take photos for us as well. One photo exchange with one.
Fair enough.





We even went into their musuem to take a look at their weapons. No pictures as phototaking wasn't allowed in the museum. Their weapons were so much different from our own country. You can even see spears being damaged, which has been through war periods.
A man offered to take pictures for us. He was so kind to take two for us. He was actually holding on to a professional camera, but the result was a soso only. But he still offer to help us. Thanks lot.


I believe you see those little gold colour on the picture behind me(pic above). There weren't simple golden paint. In fact, they were of real gold. These were know as gold thins, which is a very thin layer of gold stick onto the wall.











We took a picture with the so-called soldiers on our right(pics above). He was giggling when were were walking near him.
Happenings:
Yan stood the nearest to him and we just went to
him one by one. I even said sorry and thank you before we went off and he almost
LOL.

He was a guard. He was not supposed to move at all times. I believe we were rather irritating to take his picture. Well, i doubt he mind. He seems happy though.

Next, we set off to chinatown seeking for our BIRD NEST *drools*
Yan wanted to pee urgently. So we went into a building. Totally like the People Park Centre. Even the smell was around the same. As usual, uncles everywhere.


Happenings:
We always called it Shao - mai, we were
rather shocked to see Shao-My. Hahahahaha ~
We ordered the mid quality. Zy was a bit reluctant until she thought of the quality. Well, i die die want to have the better one instead of the lousy ones. If you ganna the the SGD 5 bird nest, i doubt the content will be good enough.
Yi fen qian, Yi fen huo




Happenings:
We actually found a thread in the
jelly-fish. Eews... everyone stop eating suddenly.
Anywa, Chinatown wasn't really very interesting. You can consider giving up the idea of going there. But it's true, there were cheap bird nest stalls. They look rather rundown, therefore do picked a restaurant instead.
Next, we went platinum mall to shop again. This time round, Yan and I bought the most number of clothings. We were so hyper except Zy. She seems to be living in her own world wandering to somewhere else. Hahaha, she look a bit blur blur.
We went A&W next.

I ordered a deluxe burger(beef) while Zy and Yan order the chicken ones.
The waffle so nicer than the Gelare's.
It has been a very long time since i had A&W. My last try was at Ten Mile Junction during my secondary school days. It's a really pity to see it missing from Singapore.
Yan wasn't feeling very well. Her eyes were teary. So we cabbed back to our hotel to let her rest. If she gonna walked back, i guess someone will have to piggyride her back to hotel then.
Both Yan and I popped paracetamol before we went to sleep.
