Heez.. so excited by then when im at the airport.. 1st time flying + going to shopping paradise! Haha.. Bangkok!! Woo.. nice.. quite a nice place to shop.. things are nt tat exp lo.. more affordable and great variety.. it's like you see an item in this shop, you won't see it in another lo.. Hmm.. dunno izit those store vendors pakak saying nt to sell same things.. haha.. we were thinking la.. this time rnd in Bangkok no more super bargaining le.. cant bargain much liao... all saying fixed price, but ok la.. the price were really quite low to "loop" (dunno hw to spell, but it's a Thai word to ask if they can lower the price) liao.. we learnt quite a few Thai words, like... "tao lai" (how much), "cup koon" (thank you), and the common greeting msg (Sawadeeka & Sawadeekab).. Ps all dunno hw to spell.. and our guide on board the bus to our Hotel was Wang Li Cong hahaha.. he said he was Wang Li Hong's bro, jokingly la.. haha.. funnie guy but think he will feel abit sian toking to all 16 of us cos no much response haha.. all juz listen n din respond to his questions lo.. mayb tired ba.. me too.. but Lydia n me did at least seems more interested in the languages.. she's my room mate too! A 28 yr old n 23 yr old, we hit it off well! ^^

Hehe.. 1st time Lydia let me sit, when coming back my Lady Boss Mrs Lim let me.. hoho the clouds soo nice! it's like a picture! Haha it's hard to describe using words.. but it's juz so nice! Haha.. oh but Helen din get to sit nxt to the window.. this is her 1st time on plane too.. we din noe bout it.. until she said juz nw.. Hmm.. if i knew it earlier, tink i will let her have once.. tink she din njoy herself... she keep saying sian and so during our shopping and saying she wont wanna go Bangkok again.. Hmm... can see tat she's feeling leftout.. and somemore she's sharing room with Amy.. we sure noe the sian feeling lo.. it's like 2 pple of different world staying together.. for me, i'll sure be quite sian oso.. cos din had much topics to chat bout lo.. and heard Amy is nt tat easy to get along too.. at 1st ok, but later she like want things to go her way more.. sian lo..

After we arrived at our Hotel, Intercontinental.. waited to check-in.. divided ourselves into 2 per rm.. reached our rm.. oh ya there's a saying, to knock 3 times on the door 1st before you enter.. for those hotel n chalets.. it's like to let those spirits noe tat you are coming over to stay.. instead of juz rushing in straightaway.. better to believe than nt la.. yap and after knocking, we went in.. unpack our stuff and rest before we started our crazy shopping! Haha.. really crazy manz.. we've been shopping non stop almost! haha.. except for breakfast n dinner time manz! Lolz... our bosses were like AGAIN?! Haha.. tink they gonna faint sn haha.. and the rest of the uncles oso.. haha so funnie they all.. especially Hock Beng manz.. super comical.. he's soo humorous lo.. aha.. keep making us laugh w his jokes and the way he talks.. lolz..

We all meet for dinner @ 7pm (time at Thailand, Sing is 8pm) everyday.. dinner is on our Boss's acct hehe.. so actually all our $$ are spent on our own stuff lo.. haha din had to pay for our meals actually.. cos every dinner was taken together! Hee... soo nice.. like the part when all gather and waited at the Lobby to go for dinner.. the more the merrier lo.. 1st day all of us went dinner together in one of the Thai restaurant in our hotel.. the thai food was good! and during dinner, Mr Lim asked me to help myself to the food.. saying xiao mei mei eat haha then later his son oso follow.. calling me mei mei lo.. haha his facial expression was funnie.. and later after knowing tat im actually older than him, he's abit pai seh ba i guess haa.. he's 22, younger than me by a yr.. Oh but too bad the Tom Yam was nt tat fantastic lo.. unlike the nxt day's Tom Yam hehe super nice! Hoo... we save alot on meals manz.. breakfast is under hotel.. but of cos Boss paid for us lo.. tink it was bout $160 sing dollars for the 4 days breakfast ah.. for me it was nt cheap lo.. haha he even settle the airport tax (500 baht) for us! Woo... haha we the ladies.. were still thinking if he will pay for us.. so tat we got more money to spend hehe.. so greedy huh? hehe.. i really njoyed myself manz! Missed the trip and the times we all spent there liao.. and the room sharing w my room mate Lydia haha.. she's our new staff in the store.. they were saying we were so lucky, juz joined the company nt long and we get to travel liao.. haha yeah i agreed!

Boss fainting again.. hoho... oh ya and our 2nd Boss n his son forgt tat we are gonna have dinner together tat nite and went for theirs oreadi.. so din join us too... cos usually we did went out together for shopping as a grp but later we all tend to split up into different grps le.. cos all looking at different things lo.. too bad... haha i did told my colleagues tat actually i like to shop and walk together lo.. like all of us shopping together! But it's hard la cos all wanna look at different things ma..

After our dinner went out shopping nearby.. nt sure wats the name of tat place.. but near to our hotel.. oh ya and nxt to our hotel is Holiday Inn hotel.. and there's a Mac juz opp.. Hmm.. the nuggets there taste better than Sing's haha.. but the fries nt really good.. haha and Serene keep wanting to go for the Mac manz.. haha for the nuggets tats known to be good.. lolz.. so before our 2nd nite's dinner, we ate Mac again.. though Lydia n me had oreadi tasted the Mac in the aftern! HAha.. twice sia.. wonder hw to KFC taste there.. hehe... din get to eat tat.. but Ah Hai, Serene, Mei Choo, Kok Peng n his wife shared the BK meals at the Bangkok airport before we went up the plane.. oh haha talking bout Mac.. a very funnie incident on Hock Beng and Ah Hai they all.. they bought the Mac meals back to eat at the hotel lobby.. and while eating, a lady receptionist told them in a very polite tone tat they cant eat there but was in thai lang so.. haha our uncle Hock Beng thought she was telling them to njoy their meal slowly hahaha.. but few minutes later, the same recept saw them still sitting there eating and said hw come i ask you guys nt to eat here and you all still here! this time in a more unfriendly tone liao haha.. nt sure in Eng or thai.. but guess can see fr her facial expression ba.. haha.. when they told us, we were all laughing like mad manz..

Haha Serene and Mei Choo are really shopping queenies manz! they can shop non-stop sia.. Lydia and me cant haha.. merely shopping for bout 2 hrs we stopped le.. haha and Serene, Mei Choo and Helen went for their foot massage while we both went back on our own.. haha we lazy to wait for them hoho.. on the way back we shopped again whenever we spot something we like.. haha.. spend $$ again.. lolz.. wanted to go Isetan to get some stuff but we were too tired and lazy after the shopping n hot weather so went back hotel 1st.. haha after soaking ourselves in the bath tub.. shiok! Super shiok manz.. after a good bath, so refreshing.. we had a nap hehe.. so tired manz.. napped for bout 3 hrs wor... and guess wat.. the 3 ladies nt back in their rms yet! haha super shopping queens sia.. till bout 7 we gathered at the Lobby again.. dinner! Then they are back arnd 6:45 haha... we oreadi woke up fr our slp by then hehe..

The 3rd day's dinner was at a restaurant named Hua Seng Hong.. somewhere at the Chinatown over there.. this restaurant served Thai eastern food.. like those we had in Sing.. shark fin, tofu dishes, vege, fish, steam glass noodles bla bla.. but tink Helen was nt feeling well during the 4 days.. coughing quite badly.. she even bought a cough syrup at the pharmacy over near the restaurant.. she's a vegetarian so had her own separate dishes lo.. but Helen's nt a strict vegetarian.. can still take garlic and onions lo..

She's neglected.. cos of her mouth.. she juz had the bad habit of nagging.. which all din like.. she will shop along w us but after tat keep saying she dun like Bangkok, will nt wanna go again.. dun like to shop at those stores like pasar malam type.. but she will still come along.. for me im ok i juz simply bo chap all tat so long she dun nag me.. but we sort of felt irritated by Helen's actions.. like say one thing and do another.. and keep saying hw come dun go Australia all tat... y come here bla bla.. i mean it's oreadi so nice tat our Boss bring all of us to holiday liao.. and it's FOC somemore.. shouldn't we be glad and happy and njoy it instead of juz sighing.. but we understand hw Helen's feeling lo.. having to share a rm w Amy was nt tat easy ba.. from wat we heard fr her.. and noe wat.. today Helen juz told us if nt we din noe tat Amy actually asked her did she took her sweater.. the way she asked was nt nice ba.. took leh.. ma jiam like assume she stole it.. mayb she dun meant tat... but juz the way she asked lo.. even my colleagues whom after hearing find it quite hurting.. and tink there's another incident, Amy asked Helen does she usually sleep with lights off, and she said yes.. and later Amy switched off all the lights in the rm wor.. oh.. abit funnie leh.. thot usually pple will still leave some lights on.. haha.. nt sure la but Lydia n me on all the lights in our rm haha.. tink we both scared darkness.. hehe..

Din really slept well these few nites.. especially the 1st 2 nites.. been slping at bout 1+am.. haha.. but once i fell aslp it's till morning straight.. bout 6+ or 7... ready for breakfast @ 8am! hoho.. we will intercom one another when we woke up.. and saying wat time to meet at the lift to go down for breakfast.. usually we had ours at 8.. oh ya haha Hock Beng, Chin Hock and Ah Hai woke up so early sia.. they went down for breakfast at bout 6:30am! Wow.. we juz woke up manz.. haha.. and they were seated at the same usual seats everyday! Lolz... funnie.. and Hock Beng's oways our entertainer sia.. with his singing and jokes.. and he sang Xiao Wei (Hokkien version) during our 3rd day dinner.. haha.. we all laugh lo! haha and so pai seh sia.. when Mr Lim told Hock Beng nxt time can go singing w us ladies and Serene pointed out tats me haa.. and they asked me to sing sia... lolz.. of cos i shy ma.. so many faces looking at me... tats y i say i cant take part in Superstar keke.. super shy tat moment lo.. and nervous haha..

Time flies... super fast the 4 days! Woo.. we had to pack our stuff and back to Sing liao.. reached Changi Airport bout 7:30pm last nite.. 2 hrs flight lo.. had our dinner on the plane.. sit beside Mrs Lim.. Hmm.. felt quite uneasy to sit beside her at first.. cos dunno wats there to chat bout.. but later haha thing goes on fine! Haha... we chatted quite some things.. nt tat bad.. hee.. 2 hrs was fast lo.. for the flight back, we din managed to get all of us sitting together unlike when departing.. and this time rnd, Lydia n Serene sat behind us.. actually my seat no. was 66K.. but exchange w Kok Peng's wife.. dun wanna b bad ger leh.. separate loving couple haha.. but really leh, they are so loving like model couple lo.. Kok Peng called his wife auntie and she called him old man (lao eh).. haha made all of us wanna laugh lo.. they keep saying Kok Peng was such a good husband.. even today in the office we are still talking bout our Bangkok trip! Keke.. i really missed it manz.. haha... more of like the times we all spent together la.. and shopping like crazy~

Chin Hock was also a vegetarian.. but he's a strict one.. no garlic or onion stuff.. heard Mei Choo said Chin Hock had bread almost everyday for his meals.. wow.. really difficult for him lo.. cos he's nt an office boy leh.. he gotta carry those heavy tyres, load n unload juz like our other storemen.. Kok Peng, Ah Hai they all.. and they saying actually his wife was the one who wanted him to be a vegetarian ah.. so noble of him.. oh ya and before we left for Sing, Chin Hock had some dry maggie mee for his lunch.. it's those real maggie mee packs tat you can eat like mamee.. i tried alittle too hehe.. he said it's ok cos he gt few more packs.. and asked if we all wanna try too.. although we are all nt tat close and for some this is the 1st time we saw one another.. but they are all nice pple lo.. friendly.. chatty n humorous sia.. haha.. hence made this trip such a fun n memorable one! Hee... tink they noe tat im super excited and happy.. and they noe tat it's my 1st time! OO.... haha and im oways kana arrow~ by tat Hock Beng uncle.. haha i have the tendency to wear and use watever i bought over there.. so it's like i din have much new items lo.. keke.. and every morning this uncle will surely ask me whether my clothes are new.. and my sandals haha like it very much! the silver stars~ been searching for this type since i saw one pair while shopping there but din buy.. hoho..

Haha and this uncle keep saying im short! Lolz.. haha he said he is short but im shorter.. and saying will find me a guy who is like him.. so good ahaha... saying dun find too tall guys.. oso nt good.. bla bla bla.. haha promoting his own character.. and the 3rd nite after dinner, we all sat at the Lobby to keng gai awhile before turning in.. like it's the final nite there so chit chat awhile before sleeping lo.. haha cos we rarely had such opportunity whereby all sit together to chat.. and this time rnd is with our 2nd boss Mr Teo arnd! Of cos his son was with him too.. they are really close manz.. father n son.. mayb the way he take care of his dad and his actions added him some pts ba... haha Helen n Serene keep praising him.. today in the office oso.. lolz..

Oh ya and tink 23rd Oct was Boss's 3rd son's bday.. haha no wonder gt cake fr the hotel.. but! the cake was sent to the wrong rm.. to Kok Peng's rm instead! haha.. and he ate it and still said the cake was delicious.. without knowing tat cake was actually from Marcus, Boss's eldest son to his bro.. tink he specially arranged to surprise his bro Kwang Wei.. cake was the hotel's.. haha and Kok Peng even lighted the candle and blew it manz! saying it's nt nice if the hotel pple saw the unused candle.. alot of funnie moments and incidents lo.. din managed to recall all nw.. but these are the main ones ba.. haha..

Serene's husband came to the airport to fetch her and i've gt a free ride home! Hee.. left Sing with only a Mickey Mouse handbag and came back with a luggage i bought over there + a bag of some popular thai snacks.. hoho.. ps manz couldn't get much snacks cos abit overspent.. my $200 = 4700 baht + 1000 baht (borrowed fr Ah Hai) haha.. he lend it to us willingly wor.. afraid we might nt have enuf to buy luggage and other stuff.. all knew we are shopping siao liao ^^ Tink Helen waited bout 15 mins for her luggage to be out.. but when we came out fr the custom, only saw Mei Choo, Ah Hai n Chin Hock waiting for their luggages.. the rest gone off.. heard Lydia saying tat she went to buy some wine..so we din managed to see her too.. haha and she's another one.. and also asking me if there's anyone to intro to her goodfriend.. it's nice sharing rm w her la.. at least we can still keng gai to sleep though at first we are nt close at all.. but Helen is really a strong girl.. with all those incidents happening..
