Yew Choong & Siew Khen's Wedding

Supposed to blog this last month but because of Bangkok trip.. so, now only blog it. It was Yew Choong & Siew Khen's wedding dinner at the Imperial City, Cheras (Behind of Leisure Mall) It was also a nice meet up with some ex-colleagues and catch up with each another.

Nice to catch up with Kah Wen..

DimSum, Dynasty Restaurant, Renaissance Hotel

I supposed to blog this earlier last month but had forgotten about it until today.

Dearie received a fowarded e-mail (somwhere in early April, 09) regarding the dimsum promotion that Dynasty Restaurant, Renaissance Hotel was offering. He did not tell me about it until one fine day (end of April, 09) when we had this conversation about dimsum, he told me that there was this promotion in Renaissance Hotel. So, I asked him to show me the fwd e-mail. It was a jom-makan promotion where there were 22 DimSum @ RM 22.00 which meant there were 22 types of dimsum to choose from. It was only RM 1.00 for a place of dimsum !!! and it was a buffet !! Guess it was a great value of money and we can have our stomach full with dimsum. LOL ... ^_^
'

Unfortunately, we did not have the time to go until early of May,09 and I thought the promotion might had ended. So, I called to Dynasty Restaurant to enquire if they still had the promotion. Indeed, the promotion was over! BUT............ there were offering another promotion 28 DimSum @ RM 28.00 I think it was still OK so I made a booking on 9th May 2009. And the plan for that day was, to have our DIMSUM Buffet Lunch and after that to catch a movie : StarTrek at One U.

Here are some shots of the dimsum we had..

Experiences in Bangkok

These are some of the great experiences/lessons learnt for the trip to Bangkok:

1. Cannot simply take photos at open market.
Saw this little kid playing with the bird and I thought it was cute. Without thinking much, I just point and shoot. Suddenly, heard someone shouting "NO PHOTOOO!!!" a fat lady was behind there shouting at me and everyone who heard her paid their attention to me. What else can I do.. said sorry loh.. Well, didn't exactly say sorry.. just the body language "sorry" loh...

2. Cannot simply take photos of dogs when the owner was not around.
Forgotten the incident at the Pet's Corner in Chatuchak. Saw this cute dog at the street of Chinatown. Again, thinking it was cute so I wanted to point and shoot. When I looked into the viewfinder of my DSLR.. the dog was trying to attack me and barking at me somemore!!!! I tried to run a few steps faster.. Hence, I'd got this shot.. and the owner of the dog came out from the shop to see what's going on.. Waaahhh..takutnyaaaaaa...
3. Golden Rule : Remember to bring enough cash for shopping
Things are rather cheap (in prices) there so remember to bring lots of money to buy things ok? Luckily I had brought enough money for the trip and spent it all .. LOL ..

4. Walk every corner in Chatuchak
I know it's stuffy and hot and you will be sweating non-stop in Chatuchak but please walk all the 'soi's in Chatuchak if you are a fashion lover. There are so many things to see and to buy. Seriously, I find Chatuchak offers the cheapest price for clothes. You'll regret if you do not cover some of the soi's ... I felt a little regret for not finishing the entire fashion soi's ... Sigh..

5. Just buy the things you like without thinking much
Don't be 'heart big heart small' or 'po-po ma-ma' when want to buy something. Just go ahead and buy the things that you like without thinking much. Otherwise, you will need to walk back again to the shop... isn't that a waste of time? And if you did not buy the tops/clothes that you like, you will regret when you get back to the hotel..

6. Shopping, shopping and shopping
Again, it's about shopping, shopping and shopping. I had never buy so many bags in 2 days time. Bought 10 bags from bangkok trip. Do drop by at Naraya shop in Central World. Things are cheap and nice there!! The ribbons/bows on the bags look so adorable.. Thank you Dearie for the 2 Naraya bags you bought for me. Love it ...
7. Watch GayShow
Watching the gayshow was really an eye opener for me. If never watch before then should go and have a look to see how is the show looks like. Usually you don't see guys f**king but in the show you can see the real SHOW .. quite entertaining though ...

8. Braids at KhaoSan Road
Even though I do not follow the girls to KhaoSan Road but if you would like your hair to be done like their hair, then you should go to KhaoSan Road. Remember to bargain first ya.. Jess did 10 braids and got 2 for free.. Hehee..

9. Taxi must go by meter
When hoping into a taxi, make sure to ask it's going by meter or not. If the driver is offering you a certain amount of taxi fare, it is usually over-priced !! (something like KL taxis) It is 35 baht when you go into the taxi and I find the meter moving quite slow.. Haha... Also make sure the driver knows the place you want to go.. or else he will end up stopping by somewhere to ask someone in thai about the direction and he still doesn't know where!! It happened to us to catch another taxi as the driver doesn't know where is CENTRAL WORLD.. we were so pissed off !!

That's all peeps for the trip to Bangkok.. (^_^)

Trip to Bangkok - Day 5 (Shopping + Back to KL)

Day 5 - Shopping / Back to KL

As our flight was in the evening, we still managed to do our last minute shopping. Before that, we dropped by at the two gods outside of Central World for some photos. One of the god is something like Love OR Relationship God and another is Career God. I'm sorry I am really not good at these.. After that, Jess, Hie Mee, Dearie & I wanted to go shopping in MBK again so we took a cab there. It was 51 baht from Central World to MBK.

The Career God located outside of Central World (Isetan entrance)

People use roses for their prayers to the Love God..

Behind Dearie was a stadium made by Heneiken cans.. Awesome!!

At the Zen entrance at Central World. It is pretty safe as for every entrance that you go, there is a security check that you have to pass by the security gate.

My lunch at the Central World food court. We had a hard time looking for the food court as it is actually located inside a supermarket.

Dearie's lunch on the last day of our trip.. This is really good!!

Reached at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok

Our luggages..

After check-in, still can go shopping at the duty-free...

The braids done at KhaoSan Road.

Yee Feng & Alice

Ooopppssss... bought something from Coach during last minute shopping !! We reached KL safe. We brought back sweet memories & great experiences that we will never forget. Nice travelling with Joan, Yee Feng, Jess, Hie Mee and Dearie of course!! HHhmmm...I start to miss Bangkok already..
