B4 Bangkok trip le......then Bangkok trip

Went to Bangkok last Saturday, just came back for 2 hours!
Before I headed for Bangkok, I called all my sweethearts out before they left for their studies.
Met Bell, Yihui, Wan Cheng and Wei Yan who came back from Canada. So long did not meet her and she is still as cute and charming as always. These were the gang of friends whom I always hang out with during my Form Six life. Now, all of them are enjoying their another stage of life. Bell in USM, Yihui in UMT, Wei Yan in Canada and Cheng is a teacher now and I?
Now, I am the only single in this group. Before that, Yihui and I were singles and now, she had boyfriend already so left me the only single. Hahaha..... I have to be desperate a bit!

After meeting them on Thursday, I met Lu and Ren on Friday. This was a mini farewell for Lu because she is leaving for UCSI on Wed which is today but I cannot send her cuz I ws still in Bangkok. As always, we talked non-stop and sat for 3 hours! We really can talk...... I wonder how did we that?Later, I rushed for second round------ meet Carmen and Szumun!
Carmen had already left for Birmingham on Monday. We met up in Breeze Cafe. Tell you what, the food SUCKS! I mean it, It really sucks! The seafood pasta taste like SALT. We change it for 3 times but it STILL TASTE THE SAME! OMG!!!! FIRED THAT BLOODY CHEF !
But the dinner was still fine because of the company.

After "sending" all friends off, I prepared myself for Bangkok. Overall the trip was alright. Not really "fun" like I was in US but still an eye opening trip.People in Bangkok are more sincere compare to the people in Hatyai. People in Hatyai are more cunning and fierce. Haha.......
I did some shopping and still cannot buy a pair of sport shoes that I wanted most. Is too expensive. I thought the price is lower in Bangkok but I was wrong. haha..... I went to see Ladyboys show too! Well, I have to say, I found out I am not feminine enough. The "ladies" are so pretty, so thin, nice body and skin texture. Haha.... I forgot to bring camera so no photos there. Btw, you can check out some pics bout Bangkok in kennysia.com. The places that he went were almost the same as mine. The only difference I think was the safari World. I went to Safari world to see animals and fed giraffes. Omg, they have long tongues. That place is worthwhile if you are a animal lover. I was so happy when I saw rhinoceros. It's huge and in extinction.

Never forget to pray if you were in Thailand. If you are not a Buddhist, never mind to take a visit to some temples. It is really worth going to see the magnificent architect and structure of the temples. We walked until our legs hurt to search for the four-faces Buddha. We thought it located somewhere isolated but end up we found out it is located in front of a big shopping complex. Actually there are 4 Buddha in that area and 4 of them are located in front of the Shopping Complexes. It is so contradicting but still there are many people pray there. I remember the most popular one was just in front of the Burberry flagship shop! I personally feel weird. haha.....

Bangkok is a nice place. I am sure there will be a second visit. Anyone interested to join me??

Hong Kong & Macau Trip Part II

Hey friends, I am back. Back from Hong Kong and Macau. As some of you may have know that this trip is my second visit to Hong Kong and Macau.
This time as usual ate a lot but this time we did not go any sightseeings.
The peak? don't bother to go.
Repulse bay? not interested.
Disneyland? haha... forget about it.

so what we do???
We window shopping all day long.... hehe....it's not an easy task. Indeed its very tiring. Because we need to walk a lot. We went to Hong Kong's busiet district------ Central.
This area is crazy.... I mean really crazy, I cannot understand why there are so many people, where the people come from????? I wonder. And the people in this area are all white colars. Rich white colars. All OL take branded bags. U think LV is something branded enough? Not really actually, cuz they take Hermes, Loewre, Aigner, YSL etc......
Due to this area is a high class district, all designers flagship shops are located here. All shops cramp together. We went brand hopping that day, hahaha..... in The Landmark itself, we went into Dior, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Cavali, E.Armani, LV. Then we went out to Gucci, Burberry, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Coach, Chloe, YSL, Cartier, Salvatore Ferragamo etc
Many kan??? BUT!!!!! we bought nothing. haha.... Pathetic kan?? Very expensive la..... even it is 60% off also cannot afford. Aunty Maggie thought of buying the latest Gucci bag, cost about 3k. Then she hesitated, and thought of buying the Burberry bag, also cost around 3 k. In the end, she cannot decide and use that amount of money went to Ladies Street and bought 5 bags. Hahahahahah.........

This time we had the chance to have a drink in Lan Kwai Fong. A Heneiken in Lan Kwai KOng equals to a bucket of Heneiken in Ipoh. Not exaggerating. It's RM 60 per bottle. Haha......

Later on, we went to Macau and as a must in Macau, we visited the world's largest casino----- VENETIAN. This time, hahaha I GOT THE CHANCE TO WATCH SOME NBA STARS!!!!!
We did not know that are matches going on until we reach there. We found out at the indoor stadium and the posters along the walkway. Without any hesitation, my cousin and I rushed to the counter and manage to buy the cheapest ticket of all---------RM 150. =.="

So we went into the stadium and start anticipating the match. It's Turkey vs USA. As you all may know in USA team, there are several NBA stars. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul just to name a few. Sorry, that I cannot remember any of the Turkey players. Paiseh!! The match was exciting and entertaining. Everyone went crazy when there was a Slam dunk. The speed, skills, and power that Team USA had was undeniably excellent. I thought football will be the first "live" match that I will witness, but too bad, I watch basketball first instead. As predicted, USA won and Lebron James got MVP.
It was a life time experience.

The next day, went to tour around Macau city. Nothing much to share, just came back with some clothes and lots of weight as usual. Hahaha.........

Enjoying a very nice ice-cream at Macau Tower...
