  The Sirocco


It was our first Fine Dining experience in Bangkok... It has such a nice ambience, it was designed by a friend of my boss and won a few design awards...

Unfortunately it rained, hence we are seated inside the Dome instead...

Bangkok Trip

21.7.08
  I’m back from Bangkok…
It has been a great trip (of shopping and eating)… Although was chopped like a carrot on the first night there, the seafood dinner was too expensive, recommended by the cab driver that send us to the Hotel… but it is very funny that the next cab driver that sends us to the Restaurant used to work in Singapore… LoL

Cabbies are still mostly touting in Bangkok… They Love Farangs (Tourists in Thai), because they can chopped us like carrots when we take their cabs… they tend to charge double than using Meter…

Went to Patpong at night, and saw my first “Thai Girls” show… very illegal and disgusting anyway… And “sort of” feel threatened in the end, paid up and leave the dodgy place fast…

Had a first “being surrounded by many Thai Chinese males” trying to pull us into the “Gogo Boys Clubs” experience, managed to peek and see some guys in “CK look-alikes White Undies” doing Pole Dancing while escaping from the alley… Was very irritated at first but after managing to dodge, it feels very funny that they keep telling us inside got “shuai ges (very handsome guys)”

Very sad that I did not buy the “Miu Miu” bag, it is very appealing but at Patpong sure more expensive than any other places… The first night ends at us going back to Hotel after seeing their seedy nightlife…

Did 2 days of shopping… Chatuchak Weekend Market, Platinum Mall, MBK, and a little of Pratunam Market...

First was Chatuchak Weekend Market on Saturday morning, and we only managed to complete like 1/3 of the Market only… And it is too warm and crowded to continue anyway… Managed to buy somethings there, and being a “seasoned traveler” in Bangkok, I brought along a sling bag for the purchases…

Next was Platinum Mall at Pratunam (opposite Amari Watergate), it has become very crowded now, think too touristy and places are more expensive that what it used to be… but I managed to buy more things there… We went back there on our last day for about 4hours of shopping…

Went MBK on the 3rd day, MBK used to be a must-go shopping center, now with Platinum Mall, I only brought 2 tops there… but found very cheap contact lens for my brother… Focus Dailies 30 lens (15 pairs) at 400Baht (S$16.50)… Actually wanted to buy their Thai Brand contacts, Daily lens; 10 lens (5 pairs) for 180Baht (S$7.50), but Fiona and bf managed to find this optical for the cheap contacts… they bought like at least 6 months supply… LoL

Local goodies at MBK is also a must if you have no chance to go Chinatown… cheaper than Airport lah, but definitely slightly more expensive than outside… I bought 800Baht (S$30+) worth of goodies…

Bought the "Silk Robe" for my sister at a Bargain (I hope so), the store owner quoted me 480Baht, but because I'm the first customer, he agreed to sell it to me at 350Baht, hope his sales has really been "lucky lucky" for the rest of the day...

The 2nd night was an expensive dinner at the ex-The State Tower (The Dome), now I think it is a luxury hotel named The Lebua.

We had fine dining at the 64th floor restaurant (The Sirocco), overlooking a pretty skyline of the Bangkok lights… it was kind of pity that it rained… so we had to shift inside after 5 minutes of sitting at our table… LoL, it is similar to our Equinox with nicer scenery and outdoor dining… I think we are the most under-dressed patrons for the night…

The Lemon Grilled Spring Chicken is very delicious, it wasn’t supposed to be so filling but I couldn’t finished my Main Course, maybe it was the free flow bread that filled me up more!! Dinner was around 1500baht for myself, thats works out to be S$60+, luckily due to the rain we have complimentary Champagne... 250ml of Evian costs approximate S$4 (380baht for 1000ml bottle)

Did 1hour of foot massage with Gina on the 2nd night (after the fine dining at Sirocco), it was very relaxing and clean… When washing my legs, the water is super hot think more than what our body is accustomed to (or maybe just because my feet is cold from the rain)… it feels hotter than the 42degrees Celsius from the Hot Spring in Taipei…. and the person who massages my legs is an 18-year-old male teenager (younger than my brother)… Haha, I feel so old, think he is shocked to hear that I’m ermm… 27 this year… LoL… He keep asking whether I’m cold, but due to the medicated oil (menthol feeling) they are using on our legs, I don’t feel cold…

Wanted to do another foot massage on the 3rd day but we had no chance to bath, and down to our last dollar, Gina and I had to leave for Singapore with aching legs…

Btw Hotel PJ Watergate is satisfactory, it is more of a superior tourist hotel (around 2.5 to 3 star rating), but I’m quite disappointed that they charge me 10baht when I asked the reception for helping me check out where is The Sirocco, and how to tell the Cabbie… Otherwise, they provide me with a clean room to sleep 5-6 hours at night and provide me with American Breakfast… Haha...

Super sian with Tiger Airways lah, delayed for 30mins... We were all sitting and waiting at the Boarding Area for around 1hour... So please expected delays if you are taking Tiger Airways...

I went with a 7kg baggage and returned with a total of 12kg baggage (2 bags)… LoL…I definitely missing the cheap clothes, food and massage already… Next time, I’m gonna do foot massage every day while in Bangkok… 1hour for 160Baht (that’s around S$6.50)…

Pictures will up next...

  原点
原本以为那惊喜你会很开心,
但态度冷淡的你让我心灰了。
搞不懂为什么你有一百八十度的转变,
是我要求太多吗?
我终于明白,你真的不需要我了。
所以,
我又回到独自一人的原点。

  Condolences
He was a friend of my boss… I have not spoken to him personally, but basically I have been helping my boss on things in their constituency, hence it makes me a small part of them…

I used to study in a school in Bukit Batok, but the MP was Mr. John Chen anyway, but it still makes me a part of Jurong GRC…

I’m shocked and sadden by the news of his passing because I did not know he has illness and he was only 59…

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr Ong CC…

  古巨基 & 梁静茹 - 还是好朋友
A nice Duet... Haiz!!



没有人要内疚 没需要缘由
在十字街头 就相互保佑
那些体贴问候 那美丽镜头
没必要一分开就变成了诅咒
相爱这一场
可能是为了能拥有一个好朋友
还是好朋友 比爱人长久
不能牵的手按在心头
在最寂寞的关头 永远在左右
事过情迁后
(升华以后)升华眼泪后
思念是最漫长的享受
(漫长的享受)
那无痛的伤口 还带着温柔到白头
亲吻失去感受 火花烧到尽头
没有激情有感情
有另一种邂逅
相爱这一场
可能是为了能拥有一个好朋友
还是好朋友 比爱人长久
不能牵的手按在心头
在最寂寞的关头 永远在左右
事过情迁后(升华以后)升华眼泪后
思念是最漫长的享受(漫长的享受)
那无痛的伤口 还带着温柔到白头
(是什么叫你我 只配做一对好朋友)

  太迟了

很抱歉,
没让你看到我的幸福
我不该没勇气对他坦白,
喜欢他三年,
习惯性默默付出多两年。
如果这五年我没放在他身上,
我可能会更幸福。
现在后悔都来不及了。
我的爱情太梦幻了,
我的想法太天真了。
我已经不知道要怎么付出,
怎么接受。
是害怕吗?
我不知道。

  命中注定我愛你
I’m very into this taiwanese drama now… Haha… recommended by my brother btw…



At first was thinking, nice show meh… but after watching 1 episode quite like it, hence the addiction… It still has 3 episodes left in Taiwan… so now can only watch on online… I’m at 11 out of 22 episodes…

The show is about a really unfashionable working class girl Chen Xin Yi has the desire to tie down her handsome boyfriend to be with her. Due to certain reasons, her boyfriend gets her to go on a love cruise and she started to ponder on how to lose her virginity and tie down her boyfriend. Xin Yi ended up taking cold medicine which made her drowsy and went into Ji Cun Xi's room. Cun Xi is the sole male heir to his family's company and has been in love with his girlfriend, Anna, for a long time. He planned to propose to Anna on the boat but she didn't turn up on the cruise. An island owner added drugs into Cun Xi's drink and Cun Xi became disorientated and returned to his own room. Xin Yi and Cun Xi end up having a one night stand. Xin Yi later finds out that she's pregnant and Cun Xi's grandmother forces them to get married. Will a couple forced to marry for the sake of their unborn child find love with each other?

Cast
Chen Qiao En 陳喬恩 as Chen Xin Yi 陳欣怡
Ethan Ruan 阮經天 as Ji Cun Xi 紀存希 (He is 1 year and 1 day younger than me, LoL)
Baron Chen 陳楚河 as Dylan
Bianca Bai 白歆惠 as Anna


You can read the episode spoilers here, until episode 17... Oh my can’t wait to continue the show at night…

  Trust
is defined in “Oxford American Dictionary And Thesaurus” as A firm belief in the reliability or truth or strength, etc of a person or thing

But in reality, how many could give absolute trust to another… when you said, “I trust you.” Do you really trust the other party? I’m give full trust to someone important, until they do something that makes me distrust them…

I have a suspicious nature, and often my instincts are right… but I’m often oblivious to them till “boom” I realized the magnitude of the happenings, then mistrust, concluded everything…

Seems like relationships have gone wane recently for me… after months of being busy, I suddenly get lots of free time nowadays… I could be PMS-ing, but I can feel the disappointment when I tried to arrange outings etc and there will always be some that cannot make it… haiz, don’t worry, I’m not specifically pin-pointing at anyone, but this has happened to me too many times…

“I trust that you will be there for me” is mocking at me now…

Maybe I expects too much... Or I guess I just need to get my break… just have to bear with it, after all it's arriving in another 16 days…

About Myself


MY FAMILY

I'm the type who sits inconspicuously in the back of the room at any gathering seldom approaching someone first. Luckily I'm loyal to my friends and share the pain with them when they are experiencing the blues and lastly I don't like to engage in arguments. That's one thing that would make me really upset..


Collecting HRC (Hard Rock Cafe) Tees from different countries, so far I have those S'pore, KL, Bangkok, HK, Beijing, Tokyo Ueno, Rome, Paris, London, Barcelona. Friends bought for me from Los Angeles, Nagoya and Sydney.


I would love to travel round the world if $$ is not a problem.. hehe.. So far only been to parts of Malaysia like Malacca (1999, 2010), Genting (1999, 2002, 2006, 2009), JB (1996, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), Kuala Lumpur (1999, 2004, 2006, 2010)... South Korea (1999), Hong Kong (2002, 2005, 2007, 2008), Macau (2002, 2005), Bangkok (2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011) Beijing (2004), Taipei (2007) Taiwan (2010), Tokyo (2008), Rome (2008), Naples (2008), Paris (2008, 2009), London (2008, 2009), Barcelona (2009), Hainan (2011)...


Recently I have gotten addicted to Soccer again. It has been a long time since I watched, must have been the Interesting Fifa World Cup 2006 Matches...
