Crossed Over!

Friday, October 30, 2009

Hi Ya!

Has been back for a week already! But think it's a matter of momentum.. when you start blogging, the flow comes and once you stopped for a while, there will be an inertia to start:)

Anyway, this Bangkok trip is a very different one from the last few trips I went. THis is my 4th or 5th time to Bangkok already and I must say their standard of living has definitely increased. Things are no longer as cheap as a few years back. We felt that the masseurs have all been head hunted to overseas like JB (lol) cos we don't feel the shiokness as much as the last time we did massages in THailand!

Basically I didn't shop much cos this was a trip to attend an engagement ceremony. And with kids around, we had to spend a day at a theme park! Can you imagine going to a theme park that is one hour's drive away from Bangkok City??!!

Well, here is a snapshot of our itinery in Bangkok:

Day 1: Arrived at 7:50am in the morning! Yeah me and Ck didnt sleep at all and
hence we all zzzzz at the hotel till about 3pm.

Went to Central World (liken to Vivo?)for a good but expensive Thai food.
Expensive cos we went to a restaurant)
Spent the rest of the night there at their Toys "R" Us and Kiddy World

After getting the kids to sleep, we sneaked off to enjoy a massage.. but it
was.... BAD! THe masseurs had attitude with a capital "A"!! And their skills
were lusy.. like kneading flour

Day 2: Had breakfast at Central World and went to Platinum Fashion Mall for a whole
day of shopping!!! We ended at 7pm and had foot massage followed by dinner..

Day 3: Set off at 9am for DREAM WORLD.. left there around 3 plus and went for a 2
hour massage before heading to Central World to have dinner and meet up with
the couple to catch up!

We can't even zip up this bag! We specially bought this at the mall to contain our shopping bags!

Ja knocked out already!

Jew's favourite pastime now is to push her "baby" in a stroller:)

I love this pic! We have perfect figures here! Lol! Tempted to print this out and show CK everyday to inspire him! Hahaha

This is a warning to us if we continue to have late night makan!

Day 4: Checked out of hotel and went to the engagement ceremony followed by an 8-course lunch at a Chineses Restaurant. Visited the family at their home too.. so cosy!
Went for another 2 hour massage and then straight to the airport to "stone" till our flight home.

So as you can see, this is indeed a very different Bangkok trip! Nobody will have such an itinery in Bangkok! Hahaha! But nevertheless, it was an enjoyable one cos for the first time, our helper Jona came along and we were able to be relieved of taking care of the kids and tiring ourselves out! It was a good balance of Family Time and some Couple Time..

Think for Jona it was fruitful as well cos she bought so many things back to sell to her friends! Sometimes I think it's not a bad idea to be my helper too! Hahahaha!

Had an enjoyable dinner at Karen's place last Wed! It was fun cooking together.. alright, I just cooked the rice, cut the vege and posed for pictures while stir frying the vegetables ok! I must say that Daniel is very fortunate wor!

It was funny cos during dinner, I made a statement saying " Mmmmm! THis dish is nice! How did you cook it"...... I must get Jona to do it too!"

Derrick was amused cos he expected me to say " I must try it at home too!"

Hahahaha I don't cook one... But I must say my theory in cooking is good. I can verbalised a few dishes and even taught Jona how to cook certain Cantonese dishes.. VERBALLY! But I really can't do the practiculum! Think my fingers are just not created for cooking! Hahahaha..

We ended the night playing "Who's the boss!" IT's a very "rough" game... at least VERBALLY! Derrick and Ruxin literally QUARELLED during the game and hurled "verbal abuses" at one another! Think I spent more time laughing than thinking!

Thanks Karen for cooking for us!

Mmmmm... must pray that I can get my own home soon.. so that I can invite you all over to enjoy a good meal..... by my helper, of course!!!

Toodles!

Oh ya.. why is this titled "Crossed Over"? Did I mention that Jewel has crossed over???!! She is now into the Terrible Two stage!!! She will pretend to cry and will spread herself flat on the floor when she doesn't get what she wants. And the funny thing is my MIL will say "Get Ck to pray over her..." Hahaha! Think it's just plain naughtiness!
