BKK (Day 7) Sep 26

Counting down 1 more day to return to SG... Suddenly have this kind of feeling wanting to go back soon... hai... stayed too many days already... hahaha you must be thinking... "wah let you go for trip still complain of wanting to go back to SG".. hai... you dunno my feelings la...

As usual went for breakfast at 8++ am. Then we went to the observation deck again. Now its day time... the view is still as good and the atmosphere is totally different and its very sunny too!! Then we went to take some photo at their souvenir shop (brought a nip glass too!!) and at another observation deck. Went to a photo sketching machine and sketch. its quite cheap. In total 4 picture cost only 160 baht.. below $8 !!! Should have taken more hor... hahaha

Curiosity kills our pocket!! the idea of spa kept wandering in my mind for so long so we went down to Baiyoke sky spa to check out the pricing. Zhiwei seeing that i'm so disappointed yesterday he took up 2 spa packages for us to relax... but to me, it doesn't really matter liao.. its already over... super sad hor... hai...

We went to take our polo tees from Kovac. the tees are really very nice and the materials are quite good as well.. Went back to hotel to try on the tees... a bit fitting but still ok la...

Then we walk to find fishing rods that is on the other side of baiyoke that we didn't walked before. But we can't find that shop. So we gave up and took cab to pratunam to see the newly arrival of dresses... hehehe... quite nice dresses... brought quite a few too!!!!

Then went for massage again... But this time round i regreted going for it!!!! I took face massage but in the end it is facial!!!! stupid right?? should have said facial instead ma... zhiwei went for oil massage but he said very shoik lei... so sian... but they also didn't state properly. After having the facial, my face a bit itchy itchy... and they put powder on me.. hai... should have told them dun put for me... Nvm its an experience... at least next time i know that face massage = facial for Thais...

On the way back, we went to change $$... Went back to hotel, rest for a while then went for the welcome drink in Baiyoke Sky . We went down to packet dinner up to makan... got KFC, Wanton mee, fried chicken, mangos, pomelo, a lot a lot!! The mango was so nice that ZW went down and buy up the whole lot of mangos.... SHOIK!!!!

Woke up at 8.30 for breakfast, our 1st breakfast at Baiyoke Sky 76th floor. The breakfast was worth commenting. imagining the whole circumference was lay out with food for you to choose... the view, no need to say, so nice so beautiful!!! After the breakfast we went back to hotel to see show.. I realised in BKK the HBO quite a lot of good shows lei.. hehehe... Then we took the shuttle to Siam again... Walked around Siam, MBK then ate lunch at Sizzler!!!

At MBK we went to print stickers for our wedding invitation cards and developed some photos too!!

After that we took BTS to Sala Deang for night pasar malam. It is at Patphong. the girls wasn't that beautiful nothing much...

The people selling thing there are quite hard selling their product. We stopped to ask the price of 1 leather bag and they quote 900. we think its not worth it so we left. Then the salegirl hold on to zhiwei and dun let go. kept saying we are the 1st customer, so have to get this bag sold. we bargain from 900 to 400 baht. hehehe What an accomplishment !!! hahaha

Finally saw the shop that we are familiar that zhiwei can buy his basketball shorts.. brought quite a few too...

My dinner was Double fish burger meal!!!! Mcdonalds!!! Wah... a bit sad hor to eat Mcdonalds on my bday but not much choice left. The more i look at the fries then more my tears wants to drop... hai... Its too late in the night to eat those restaurant liao...

Then we took cab back to hotel.

Thai massage again!!! they are so cute in pyjamas... When did i last wear my pyjamas ar???

Went to KFC for lunch then relax at wee's room before checking out. Wee's cab fare was 400 baht!!

After sending them we went back to hotel to rest... We slept for 3 hours then head down to Platinum mall for shopping but this time, we slowly glanced through the things liao... too tired...

We walked to Eastin to check out the spa rates... Eastin changed a lot. This is our hotel that we stayed for our 1st trip to BKK.

Ate 'satay' along the way and it is very delicious!!! At 1st, i don't dare to eat cos scare later my stomach upsets again but once its in your mouth you can't stop!!! hahahaha... drooling already...

Woke up at 6.30am for breakfast at Sky Lounge!! Our last day in Baiyoke Suite so have to take more photos hehehe... Look at us... super shag already!!! walked too much this few days...



Return to room to get ready for checkout!! Placed our luggage with Wee then we went to Ploenchit. Susposed to be very fast but taxi went wrong way then stuck in the stupid jam... half my face and my left arm became black after exposing to sun light that shine through the taxi... The tailor (Pinky tailor, behind Manhanttan Plaza or Mall) was quite fast in measuring their size and coming up with their design.

Next we rush back to Indra Regent to meet up with Pom. Thought of adding some more alphabets but it will add more $$. So idea aborted.. hahaha.. Finally confirmed our polo tee. Checked in to Baiyoke Boutique Hotel but the room 821 wasn't ready so view it later on. Ate desserts and tako pachi at Indra Regent before we took the shuttle bus to Siam Discovery. There was a display of motors at the atrium of Siam discovery.. So CUTE!!

Thai tako pachi


In shuttle bus

These are the bikes on display... How to ride this on the road especially with the dusty road condition in BKK??

Ate Mcdonald's for lunch at MBK and saw commotion outside the Mcdonald's. A brunch of guys with parangs running after 2 guys just outside MBK main road. Wah very happening!!!! so scare later they come in by the Mcdonald's door. Then where to run? I am in an enclosed area and the exit of the area is at the entrance of the door... Police came 5-10 mintues after the commotion. We went shopping in MBK but came out with nothing... (now a bit more expensive lo)


Samurai Pork Burger Double fish burger

We walked back to Indra Regent of which i regreted it cos it is very very far!!!!

Past by Asia Hotel (the hotel that we originally booked) , nothing fantastic, not tall, it wasn't near MBK (need to take BTS)

We walked for at least 1/2 hour to reached Platinum Mall where Wee and Alfred went shopping again. Went into the shopping mall beside Platinum Mall for toilet break but saw A&W !!! my favorite A&W float!!! Went back to hotel to refresh ourselve before meeting wee at Baiyoke Sky 82nd flr Crystal Grill for buffet makan.. Its quite expensive 620 baht but the view was superb!!! The dinner was ok if you are a carnivore!!! hehehe...




The meal came with a free observation deck view. It is at 84 flr , the top floor. The deck was an open air concept and with 360 degrees rotating view!!! Was trying to tape down the 360 rotating view of BKK night scene but camera no batt so can only depend on Wee camera. The air was fresh when we are up there and at certain angles the wind was so strong and cold that we saw quite a lot of ladies trying to hold down their dresses... slurp slurp... hahaha.. We went 3 rounds then went back to wee room to get our luggage back to our room.

After that went for massage.. All of us was so tired that we fell asleep while being massage!! SO SHOIK!!! by the time we went back to our room its already 12mn!!

BKK (Day 2) Sep 21

ITS SUNDAY!!! We are meeting at around 10am to go to Chatuchak so we woke up at 730am to prepare and went for breakfast at 43 floor!! Shoik!! Morning BKK is just as beautiful as night time. While we are waiting for wee, we saw this sign and came to a conclusion-'BKK's pickpockets will only be on action on Sunday only'.


This is the hotel sign that states which floor has which restaurant!!


Then we took a cab to Chatuchak weekend market. Walked around searching for Wee's 'leather mousepad' and JD's 'heartgard'. Saw Zhiwei's favorite!! BLUE PRAWNS!! His hand very itchy for prawn fishing liao hahaha. Isn't this dog very cute????? The dress that it is wearing very girl girl hor!!!




Then we took cab to Phloen Chit for Alfred's tailor but no open then we walked to Central,Chitlom - The Loft for lunch. Then walked to Pratunum Centre for foot massage!! Super shoik!!!


We went on separate ways as we need to find a shop to custom make our polo tees and wee wants to go shopping!!

Walked back to Indra Regent to walk around for a customise shop for polo tee then we chanced upon a shop, Kovac Hills, and went in cos the boss, Kovac, is a Negerian and he knows English!! It makes communication a lot more easier. After discussing the design and the price, we were told to come back to the shop tomorrow to meet his wife, Pom, to finalise the tees.

So we meet up at 8.15pm at World Trade Centre. Its on Wee's treat so we went to eat a time buffet at Shabushi. Meaning we are given a specific time to eat our food, if exceed then add money. So weird. Thanks Wee and Alfred for my advance birthday present (the buffet)!!



Outside the restaurant there is these figurines... very cute but weird position though...

BKK (Day 1) Sep 20

Went to pick Wee up to my place then took cab to airport.





Chee Chee and Winnie were there to send us as well. We ate burger king before proceeding to check in. My bag was 16.8kg!!! hahaha Imagine the weight when we come back to SG.




Our Flight Details...



Happily we headed towards the departure gate!! We will NOT miss Singapore!!! Hahaha... Don't miss us too much!! We be back soon!!!






Inflight photos.



After reaching BKK, we headed straight to hotel. As Wee is staying at Baiyoke Sky and we are at Baiyoke Suite, we wanted to get the cab to send us to our hotels but 2 location will cost twice the taxi amount. Then we alight at Baiyoke Sky then walked over to Baiyoke Suite. Our room number is 336, on the 33rd flr!! but room was a bit old and weird.


We meet up at the Sky Lounge @ 43 floor Baiyoke Suite for dinner, our usual place to chill out. The atmosphere and the scenary was still the same. Beautiful!!!
Do you know what's happening below? Wee went to take Wasabi for Zhiwei but he took the wasabi for Zhiwei in a big plate and took a bit of sauce only. See that plate with just a bit of wasabi.
There's a balcony outside the restaurant. So we went out to take some photos.


After makan, we went downstairs to walk around then brought some drinks to wee room. Then after that we rest for the day. Too tired liao.

AD Videographer - L Box Wedding Productions

Finally, we had decided on L Box Wedding Productions, Louis Sim as our Videographer on 31 July 2008.

Had only seen 2 VGs then we fixed our eye on L Box!!

His works are fantastic and also within our budget as well!! We like the uniqueness of his montage & highlights. hmm.. GOOD DEAL!!

He doesn't put up his works online for others to see. So might need to book an appointment with him to view his works.

Website: www.Lbox.com.sg

However he would require 7 hours to complete the express highlights. So we would need to release at around 1130am. Need to see timing already...

My package consist of :
Day & Night Videography on 13th Dec 2009 (Sunday):-
10 hours Shoot using High Definition Video Camera
1 Express Highlights dvd (Approx 8 minutes)
2 sets of final edited dvd (With motion menus & chapters)
Custom design for dvd label and insert

Montage for Reception:-
50 photos- Special effects included.
1 dvd
Custom design for dvd label and insert

The day we will be spenting most of our $$$

Our Wedding date is 13 Dec 09!!!!
Our Shifu : Master Wang from Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple Association
http://www.shtemple.org.sg/index.htm

Went to calculate our wedding dates on 18 May 08. At first we wanted our anniversary to be our wedding date but shifu say not good for wedding so bo pian. He has given us 3 dates, 14.06.09, 20.09.09, 13.12.09.

20.09.09 of course is tempting cos easy to remember but our hotel ballroom already booked liao so no choice left 2. June will be out for us cos too hot. Dec will be good.

What is needed from us for the calculation:
Our date of birth (preferably in chinese calender, if not he can also see from his book.)
Our time of birth
Our parent's animal.
Preferred date (if any)

Gave a hongbao of $28. And have to go back to him to calculate the An Chuang & the Guo Da Li date.

Booked my venue!!

After using 1 year looking for our AD venue, we have finally booked it!!!

PARKROYAL @ KITCHENER (PR @ KR)
http://www.parkroyalhotels.com/en/hotels/singapore/kitchener_road/parkroyal/index.html
Our coordinator - Don Ng. bqtsalesmgr@kr.parkroyalhotels.com


Picture is taken from the parkroyal hotel website.


What's makes us consider this place:


  • Good comments on food
  • Don is flexible
  • Near LRT (Farrer Park)
  • Bridal room is beautiful
  • Price is just right on our budget
  • Hotel has just renovated recently so everything is quite new
  • The toilet on the ballroom area is very big and clean
  • Liked the favours (shot glass!!)
  • Not in CBD area. Unlikely to have traffic jam

What's stopping us?


  • It is just beside Mustafa so it might be too crowded at night
  • Not too many comments on this hotel (maybe its good news too)
  • Guest might go to the wrong Parkroyal as there is one more at Beach road
  • Pillars in the ballroom
  • The ceiling a bit low

How did we know about this place?

Was at the parkroyal hotel bridal show, 4 May 08, at beach road and PR @ KR set up a counter over there as well. At first didn't have good impression on PR @ beach rd. Then we decide to walk one round and go back. Then we came into this room where it features all the set up from PR @ KR.

Don approaches us and we had a run through on the benefits. Well the first thing it attracted us is the pricing!! For yr 2009 pricing, we have seen so many packages this is one of the cheapest that i can find. Don't ask me how much is that. Check with Don please. And if possible mention that i recommend you to go. Hahaha.... At first we have reservation to see this place as its at the little indian. You know ppl will have this thinking "Oh little indian ar. Sure very cheapo and a lot of Indians moving around" then we manage to get rid of this stupid idea and go with a free mind, no obligation. After the bridal show, we drove over to PR @ KR to recce the venue and Jamie was there receiving us. Had a great time looking around and even won a lunch buffet voucher.

We didn't decide on the spot. Went back, talk to both parents on the cons of the place and even brought WL mum to recce the place on 9 May 08. Approval chopped. We made an appointment with Don on the 10 May 08. We were late for the appointment and he has to wait for us for 1 hour. So paiseh. Went for breakfast, confirmed the package and paid $3K using UOB credit card (cos got free 1 tbl if use this card).
