Bangkok day 3 and 4

Day 3
On the third day of our trip, we decided to hunt for the highly raved "Sabx2 wanton mee". It took us 
quite some time to locate the shop as it was situated at an inconspicuous alley.

-Tourist mode on- "Yay we have reached!! Let's ask someone to take a pic for us"
This wanton mee is famous among Singaporean and no doubt, 
when we enter the shop, it is flooded with Singaporeans. Not kidding.
Ordered 2 bowls each as we heard the portion is quite small. Hahaha 
4 girls, 8 bowls of wanton mee and a plate of divine pig trotters. 
There's something different about the wanton though, in Singapore it is usually salty but theirs is sweet! Sweet wanton?! 
This is the best pig trotters i have ever tasted! HANDS DOWN. 
 But it's kinda overpriced for their street food stall. 
After our satisfying meal, we walked to Platinum mall!! 
Spotted a street stall outside Platinum mall selling this pineapple bag and i knew i can't walk past 
 without purchasing it!! Hehe we are da pinapple twinss! 

Platinum mall > Mah Boon Krong (MBK) 
Perhaps it was due to insufficient sleep or we simply got bored shopping at MBK. 
Nothing seems to interest us and we are just walking around aimlessly. Hahaha 
Viv suggested we go for thai massage and all of us readily agree to it! 
1 hr of foot massage for only 250 baht ( roughly $10) SUCH A GOOD DEAL!! *SCREAMS* 
Where do you find such affordable massage in Singapore man. It usually shoot up to $20-30 and above.

After our very pleasant foot pampering session,  we took their BTS to Terminal 21! 
Look at the right side of the pic, saw that strawberry cheesecake frappe standing board? 
That's what lure us in! A strawberry cheesecake frappe!? 
ENOUGH SAID. JUST TAKE MY MONEY AND GIVE ME THAT.
This picture doesn't even do them justice at all!! 
There are cubes of cheesecake inside... omg.. divine... 
We got so obsessed with this brick wall that we spent more than 10 mins taking selfie with it. 
Come to think of it, the brick wall isn't that nice either, why did each of us even spent such a long time posing infront this wall? Hahahaha
If you are wondering how we manage to take perfect selfie throughout our trip... 
This is how we do it! A MONOPOD! We have gotten so many weird stares from strangers and one group of girls 
even came up to tell us this thing is damn cool. Hahahaha
My day 3 loots! 

------------------------------------------Day 4-----------------------------------------
The last day of our trip was dedicated to Chatuchak! Where i went crazy and spend the remaining of my money there. Mostly impulsive buys?! But it's so cheap! How can i resist! Morever, the no.1 rule of shopping here is to just buy whatever that catches your attention. 
For you might never find the shop again if you decided to head back as this place is a maze!  
We woke up early to check out and left our luggage at the hotel lobby! Hailed a cab to Chatuchak for some kick-ass shopping!! 
We suspect they apply red color dye on their strawberry to make it looks appealing. 
Chatuchak is crazily warm, i thought i would get a heat stroke and to make things worse, we got separated 
from Viv and Kahmun in the midst of shopping :( It's not the first time we were 
separated from one another but this is the first time we couldn't find each other. 
Deb and I spent more than 15 mins walking up and down the road in search of them, but it was futile. 
Thank god we always stick together as a pair.  
We ended up with bag(s) full of clothes!
On our way to the airport :( 
Overpriced airport food! 
Writing this post makes me miss these girls already :(  
 Missing that night where we had a good heart to heart talk, i wanna relive that night right now. 
Missing our bimbo moments. ( Did i mention that we almost missed our flight to BKK? We were happily shopping 
at the duty free when Kahmun said she heard some announcement regarding our flight last call and our names. PANIC. 
We immediately dash to our gate and turns out, the plane is gonna take off in a few minutes time if we were still not there!! )
Missing our fun times. Missing our nonsense :( 
But on a brighter note, i will be seeing them next wednesday for our graduation ceremony! Hehe

Bangkok day 1 & 2

Heyho! I came back from my BKK trip about a week ago so here's an update about it! 
We booked our flights + hotel last year and needless to say, 
we have waited in excitement for months for this day to arrive!! 

Day 1: Berkeley hotel > Platinum Mall > Siam discovery center 
The first day was kinda simple! 


Reading "Pride & Prejudice" enroute to BKK! 
Hahaha my P&P obsession continues... 
Hotel selfie before we head out to Platinum mall for some shopping and food! 
First meal and it was sooo good!! It made me fall in love with their minced pork dishes!
This tastes like the ba chor mee from bedok85!! 
I emptied everything (including the soup) within minutes! 
Our room is freaking hugeee!! 
Supper!! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2! 
The girls had 3-4 hours of sleep but i didn't catch a wink of it. Tossed and turned countless times until i gave up 
trying to fall asleep.  Woke all of them up at 5am for some early shopping at Pratunam market! 
According to our findings, the market open from 6-9am and we wanted to reach there the earliest 
to avoid the crowds and steal all the good deals! 
Morning walk to Pratunam market
Upon reaching there, we realised we are way too early. Hahaha
most of the shops are still closed. Mehh
"Shopping is indeed tiring" 
Went back to our hotel for a 2 hr nap before we took a boat ride to Bobae Market. 
Boat ride sefie! 
Bobae Market was utterly disappointing!! 
Their clothes was not to our liking and there wasn't any eatery, so we took a tuk tuk to MBK instead! 
Toliet theme resturant at MBK! 
Minced pork cheese baked rice and Oreo thai iced tea smoothie! 
I guess the only thing that is worth going for at MBK is the Thai massage? 
Took a cab back to our hotel for an outfit/make-up change before we head out to Asiatque and explore their night life! 
Our inital plan was to go The Q bar after Asiatique but Deb did some googling and realised 
their entrance fee was way too ex. Thus we decided to head to Levels instead since their entrance 
fee is free. However, upon reaching Levels, they forbid Kahmun from entering as she's a 94kid Hahahaha 
Another plan failed, so we settled at some bar down the road to chill and had heart to heart talk. 
Went back our hotel at 4+am and i fall into deep slumber immediately after shower! 
Alright! That's all for day 1& 2!
