Thailand Trip Day Three: ChinaTown Trip and Movie!

this morning, all of us overslept! thanx to the card games we played the night before. wahaha. i heard the morning call, but i went back to sleep after that... totalli knocked out! ian kan called me 9.56am and he asked "have u had ur breakfast?" i was like .."oh no... we overslept! and missed breakfast??" *argh, there goes our free meal. hee

so we took our time since we missed breakfast [which ends at 10am] and we agreed to meet at the corridor at 11.30am. we went to the roadside stall right outside the hotel and we ate the nicest beef noodles i've ever had in my entire life! and only 25baht? that's like S$1??? madness! weisiong was not feeling well this day and he was struggling to makan and having bad tummyache. poor boy. we headed for chinatown. it's so interesting! it's bustling with people and mostly chinese of cos! hee... but it stills feels very thai-ish over there. all the roadside stalls selling satay and finger food and all that. so tempted to buy! hee... but we're still wary of the hygiene there tho. we bought most of our gifts thre, there's this gift shop that sells realli happening and cute stuff. ian kan bought bird's nest [rich kid huh.] weisiong was sitting down wherever we go... haiz, he so sick still follow us around. let's give him a big hand!*claps

tuktuk and ian and me!

tuktuk. for the first 2 days, we sat in this, 5 of us!


chinatown!



it was realli hot, tiring and we're all sticky so we took a cab and went back to the hotel for a short rest. after that, we went to Siam Center Discovery Center... hee, i thought it's something like science center and we'll be seeing dinosaurs and stuff like that. but... hmm, realised that it's the shopping center next to MBK. *diao. it's like singapore's takashimaya, selling realli ex stuff which we have no intention of buying. and the guitar shop there is out to 'chop' u. fina 2003 is selling like S$400 there? madness. we headed for MBK, which is just 5 min away. most of the shops were closed, cos it's labour day. we bought tickets to the movie "50 first date" for 11.30pm show. after that we continued shopping while waiting for time to pass. i saw this realli nice skirt which i wanted to buy... but i didn't get to buy it. and i regret it now. *sob.

most of the shop were closed by 10pm.. so we were all forced to sit inside macdonalds since there's nothing to do. the guys watched soccer there, nana slept and i chatted with shuzhen on the phone. hmm long distance calls... haiz. at 11pm, we went to the internet shop... yippe! msn! haha, was so overjoyed, that's probably the best thing that happened for th day? heee...saw lotsa friends online. i didn't even have time to check my mails, cos everyone was chatting. heehee. and it's cheap. 20 baht for 30min. that's like a dollar? we ran for the movie cos we're late but thank God the commercials were sooo long. before the show started, we saw this thing on the screen which looked like the laying foundation book cover and ian said "laying foundation" and we all broke out in trmemdous luffter... immediately, the king's picture appeared on the screen and words "please pay respects to the king". everyone in the theater stood up and we followed suit. and we started to see more pics of the king and what he does. hee, funnie but great that we went for the movie, so we know what stuff they do tat. imagine singapore films have this "please pay respect to the president".. weird hor?
