Damn, it seems like I haven't updated in about seven thousand two hundred and sixty four days huh. Well, at least there'll be photos this time! Haha. O levels, now a thing of the past. Alright, almost. I can only say that after I get my results. But now, at least I get the pleasure of gloating while joey does Amath. Haha, evil. So.. After O's, of course I went shopping. With my BFF anna, who's now in HK. Bleh, miss her to bits. Had class chalet, which was a success (thanks dawn!). Initially, the turn out was miserable, abt 6 people. I wasnt there yet. But more people turned up and abt 10+ stayed over. No room to slp man. Haha. But t'was good fun. We wanted to watch the sunrise, but I guess..sleep was way too tempting. Went to Zouk; alot of drama i shall not relive. Ugly.Mhm, watched Yewi perform at TP. She's headed for Thailand soon for the SEA Games for cheer. Lucky shite.
Went for a (TERRIBLE) haircut with megs. I swore, i'd wait for everything to grow out before I go public. But well, then I'd have to wait till Feb or smth. But i was so upset I thought I'd cry.
Haha, then Lini came home. Laughed at my hair. Haha, stupid biatch.
And it was time for Thailand! No boys. Pure shopping bliss, 5days of shopping. It was sososo fun! I never thought I'd get tired of shopping. And none of us admitted, but I think we were kinda worn out from walking so much. You get to see photos below, don't worry. Haha. It was a lot of eating too. ALOT. I swear, I've got like 3kg of mango sticky rice in me now. Okok, I'll let the photos do the talking.
DAY 1Had a 6:15pm flight. I had many great plans to buy duty-free cosmetics at the airport. Imagine my horror when I reached the budget terminal to find ONE measly cosmetics shop. Guess cosmetics will have to wait till my Vietnam trip; Budget terminal no more! Haha.Reached Thailand about 7plus (Thai time). Took a cab to a hotel called Lefenix. Fairly swanky, and only 6-months old. And had dinner at a restaurant called Chili Culture. Good good good food.
Lini setting reminders on my phone on the way to the airport. On my uncle's handy van.
Lefenix's lobby.
Gotta love her shoes; and pose; and photographer's (yours truly) creative angle.

At Chili Culture. Omg all the yummy yummy food. Pineapple rice was so good! Though we tried some drink called.. Matum juice? It tasted like aromatherapy oil. And the mango sticky rice there is a MUST-try.
DAY 2
We wanted to try out the Thai MRT, you know. Try to live the Thai life take public transport kinda thing. But it was apparently too far to walk to the nearest station (a lie!) so we took a tuktuk. The driver(?) was so cute. We wanted to go to the shopping district (MBK, Siam Square, Siam Paragon, Siam Centre), and told him to send us to the nearest MRT station. So he said, 'okay, 30 Baht'. And we agreed. However, on the way there, he stopped his tuktuk and made us an offer. He said, 'I bring you to the shopping district free of charge, but you have to go to this jewellery store. Becos if i bring you there in my tuktuk, i get one litre of oil. If you buy smth there, i get 5 litres. okay?' And after much contemplation, we agreed. And my mum bought a bracelet there. So he got his 5 liters. Good deal huh?
So we went to Siam Square (like Bugis sorta) to shop. Alot of haggling omg. We were like, Bargain Bitches. And my mum really rocks at it. There're techniques too you know. Haha. It's great fun to watch. Though lini and i weren't very fast learners. Haha. We kinda sucked at it too. Picture this.
Lini(whispers) : Yeni, i like that jacket. Isit nice?
Yeni : Try it on la. How much? (i ask the lady)
Lady : 750 Baht.
Yeni : (mimick my mum) NNNnnnOOOOOooooo!! (looks completely appalled). 400 Baht.
Lady : Noo, cannot miss.
Lini(with jacket on her) : Isit nice?
Yeni : Erm, not really. Don't buy it.
Lini : Okay.
We walk out of the shop.
Lady grabs Lini's arm.
Lady : Okok, i give you 500 Baht.
Lini looks at me
Yeni(whispers to her) : Okay I'll just say something so low she reject and we walk out.
So i said
Yeni : No. 300 Baht.
Lady : Ah okay okay.
Yeni&Lini (mutters) : SHIT.
Yeni : Okay, I'll ask my mum.
We walk out and burst into laughter.
Hahaha. We suck so bad. But we bought alot of stuff actually. MmmMm. Had lunch at a place called Krocs. Had a mani-pedicure. Bought more stuff. We succumbed and went back to Chili Culture for dinner since the food was too damn good. Haha. Then headed back to the hotel.

On the tuktuk.

Our edible flower display at Krocs. Hahaha. Thai people eat alot of vege btw. Cos their fruit and veg's so damn good. And yes, i have to say. I'm sick of them skinny-heel-wearing thai girls. Gosh. They're everywhere.

Lethal stuff. Makes me cry.

Ooh yes. Our very cutesy pink taxi! We took one every day. Very fated with it, it seems. Haha.

Staircase shot at Lefenix.

Chili Culture again! With my chicken-cashew salad and Aloha rice.
DAY 3
Had a massage and facial. I was totally gone i tell you. Knocked out for both the massage and facial. Though during the massage I was a tad shocked when she lifted the towel off my butt. I was butt naked man. Though it was good, erm, butt massage. And boob massage. Haha. Okay I should stop right about here. Then we went to chinatown! Where we had bird's nest and street food. Then we went to the wholesale market, which was a bitter disappointment. And then we went to a shopping mall! And bought a whole load of things again.

Chinatown.

Yeni and yewi. The bowl of bird's nest kinda got cut off. And I look so..raw. Haha. After the facial.

Ooo yes my favourite hotel. Millenium hotel, or isit millenium. Bah! We were sorta cam-whoring at the conservatory. That's yewi and her new toy. It says Lovely but we named it Smelly cos that's what ot'll be in about 4 years time.

Mum and Lini.

Yewi, small as a..I duno what.

At the pool side!

Credits to Lini. Though I still look fat. Zomg, the 3kg of mango rice. Haha.

How could we miss out the jumping pose ya. Haha.

Our daily battle with the sun. Our best friend, Sunscreen.
DAY 4
Okay actually the last few shots of day3 belonged to day4 but I put it in day3 since it was at the Millenium. We checked into the Hilton early morning day4 though we cam-whored in both hotels. Haha.
After cam-whoring, we went to Chatuchuk Market, by MRT. Haha. It's actually quite convenient and not as scary as my mum made it out to be. What with pickpockets and missing our station and all. Hahaha. I think I was holding my bag to tightly, everybody probably thought I was a terrorist. So..Chatuchuk Market was so insanely hot I swear I melted. Ah and everybody was kinda grumpy and there wasnt much to buy. So we went to shop at MBK/Siam Square area again. And again, we bought alot of stuff. Ah, and how could I leave this out. We went to the red-light district! See the skanks, we say. Haha, so mean. We (I) were (was) so excited! Haha. It was only 8pm actually, so it wasn't too dangerous or anything yet. Though my mum was very angry that I wore 'so little cloth'. A spaghetti. Haha.
You get plenty of variety there too. Fat thin, tall short, dark fair, long hair short hair, female (fe)male. Hahaha. They were decked out in bikinis/lingerie/not-much-at-all, pole-dancing. The front-door's usually left open to entice. Haha. There was this incredible decent-looking, okay nerdy, caucasian. What with the glasses and checked shirt tucked in. This pimp was saying to him:
"I've got a young one for you. She got long legs."
If I were the caucasian, my next question would be:
"was she a man?"
Haha. Then we headed back to the hotel for the jacuzzi and sauna. My mum was like, "must you wear a bikini here in thailand, it's dangerous". So imagine her mortification when we saw two russian woman, stark naked. Haha. It was..well, quite a sight. My mum's face was rather blank actually. And I actually felt like I had too much cloth on me. Yep, even with a bikini. Haha. We tried to speak to the girls and they were so cute. Haha. And they couldnt be more comfortable with their bodies. Though I'm sure I caught one of them looking at my cleavage and going 'mmhm. what small boobies.' Hahaha. Theirs were..well. They were very, very very, well-endowed. Haha. Went back to the hotel room to soak in the bathtub somemore and slept early.

Yewi on the very nice thick sheets at the Hilton.

Cam-whoring session commenced yet again.

At the large glass window.

Half the view.

Thailand MRT.

Toilet photo. Another classic. Hahaha.
DAY 5
Got up early early early at 5:30am. Queued up forever at the airport. It just screamed INEFFICIENT. Had our last thai meal at the airport. And lulled around abit at the shops. And it seems that we're always late for flights no matter how early we get to the airport. We actually had to run cos we almost missed the final call. Haha, very very embarrassing stuff. Everybody staring at us while we scurried to our seats. The same thing happened on our flight back from Melbourne last year. LAST to board, again. Haha.
After the flight (I HATE FLIGHTS, you know), we went over to my grandma's place to visit since it was on the way and we had a free ride from our uncle. Then it was home sweet home.

Just this one picture we took out of utmost boredom while queueing.
All in all, the thailand trip was awesome. I'd do it again, anytime. Malaysia this weekend! I can hardly wait.
And today was spent looking for a job. After a number of rather nasty hang-ups..
Me: Hi, I'm calling to enquire about the ad you placed in Classified.
Man: Ah, how old are you?
Me: I'm 16, I'm currently waiting for my O level results.

I'll bet he did that on purpose. I was slowly losing the will to live. I could have killed him man.
But it's all good. I've got a few interviews lined up for tomorrow.
So, since it's almost 3:30am, I shld probably get to bed now. Though i ache so bad from all the exercise i've been doing. Gotta work off the mango rice you know. Haha.
Night.
