Shopping in bangkok

time is so precious. last saturday i rushed off for my SAT which i'm sure i screwed up and then right after the nerve wracking SAT subject tests i rushed off to the KTM station behind carrefour and rushed off to kl central to catch another train to rush off to singapore for a rushed stay at my ah yee's house then rushed off to bangkok the following morning. phew (wipes sweat) the time zone diff is 1 hour so kinda confusing. no jet lag and yeah bangkok was great. they've got so many interesting stuff bout them here let me show ya:

Stuff u didn't or might not know about bangkok:
1. they wear yellow during their king's birthday.
2. the king's birthday is err....... sometime around the 4th or 5th of december.
3. his citizens are very supportive and stand around on streets holding lit candles to show their support and love
4. u cannot and should not point ur toes at anybody especially the head. they think ur head is the most important part of ur body. so its offensive if u do that.
5. their food is great.... spicy tom yam oh gosh!!! thank you thank you..
6. their streets are very much like downtown kl only there's less less rubbish
7. their drivers and pedestrians are super friendly. cars stop for u to cross even though the ped crossing is red and random street people u dunno lend u their phones to call hotels that the driver doesn't know how to get to.
8. they speak quite very little english.

here are the pics:







me sis in the royal palace. the place is very intricate and specific and beautiful






those strutures have a name but i forgot dy. swt





just like in england. almost. ahaha. their soldiers are trained and disciplined.





this magnificent structure is called a wat. what?? no a wat. what what? yea only u say it once. a what? yes. no i dont get it what what? no its a wat. u say wat once. not wat wat. what???? yeah u got it!!

the stairs are super steep probably 60 or 70 degrees from the floor. pretty scary. more intricate designs and hardwork made this magnificent structure possible.





someone tell me what this shop is about?? haha. porn in thai means something fashion related. i think. :P






errr forgot how this pic came about again haha. i think it was in chatuchak. the equivalent of petaling street.





more elaborate designs placed all over the king's palace






outside the king's palace: my dad, sis, mom






inside one of the wats. what? yeah.





at the airport.





oooooo!! anybody daring enough?? i didn't hehe..... fried crickets, a local delicacy.

Genting trip


places like genting and sunway lagoon, some island or theme park that u've been to are all common yet we find ourselves enjoying the trips we make when we go there, like when i went to genting with almost half my class. check it out:






two sleeping beauties





i dont know what ride this is we were seperated here. i think its some old car ride or something. left to right: seng seng, yun hsi, jun hao, kar wye




wei seng: wan jinn ur guilty!!
wan jinn: of what?? (raises hands)
wei seng: errr.........








left to right: kar wye, wen chi, me, su shan, meng shuen
(survivors of the sky shot)





cough cough this picture is purely for catching people who use their cameras too much xD xD





picture kinda blurry. cam phone maybe. kar wye in a hat.





the guys of the whole group in the coffee shop having coffee at 12 midnight xD





left to right kar wye jay me yun hsi




oo joy look there's thomas!! and jay being kiap-ed between us all. sin yen on the left, max top right, thomas in red



candid.... or is it intentional shot??? jun hao and er someone :P






err can't see who's on the left -.- i 'll hazard a guess its shin yee, pui yee in the middle, thomas on the right







our whole gang woot woot wooooooooooooot







we had a blast, cooking steamboat food and enjoying the health deterioting tastes of instant cup noodles. we shot 50 metres into the air and drove round in go karts, went round and round on the corkscrew 3 times i think ate all kinds of good and bad stuff had lots of fun and together time. and guess what we're seriously dedicated to each other. when one gets left behind we all stay back and wait for that person. seriously. here's an example, wei seng carried a 'deadly avian flu influenza' up to genting and despite all the risks and dangers involved, we all stayed back with him and got sick together with him. wasn't that fun...... xD xD xD so yeah we're loyal to each other and we'd gladly do stuff 4 each other. one big happy family woot woooooot.
