Thailand Day 2, 4 and 5

uh huh, i will merge all these 3 days into 1 blog post because we basically did our shopping haul and sleep only wtf. if i were to separate these 3 days into 3 single blog posts, it would be really boring and dull so yea.

DAY 2
for the second day, we went to the Central World and  the Platinum Mall.
Central World is more than just a huge/enormous word!! we barely walked every floor 'cause the brands out there are like F21, FCUK, Uniqlo, CK, Swarovski and bla bla bla which we could find all these brands easily at KL. so not bother to shop. walk around, see around and eat around.
btw, get a grocery walk in the supermarket which located at the top floor of the mall. you will figure out how cheap groceries are in Thai! i was so enlightened to see all cheap junk food that i kept on screaming!! the imported junk food was CHEAP too!!! hee or ken should slap me sometimes i think.
'cause i could be really annoying most of the time with my loud and high pitch voice wtf =.= god gave me this voice whattttttttttttt.........
being a typical Amelia/Hee/Ken, we immediately agreed that we would try out all Lay's chips flavour. *finger lickin' good*
Lay's chips in Malaysia are kind of expensive, but it's around RM3 in Thailand only! so why not bother to try? =p

FC Barcelona event. by looking at these waxed statue, we didn't even know who're them until we looked at their names =.=
too unlike that we could not even recognize! erm why couldn't they do something better to make this exhibition looked like an exhibition anyway?
mine- Cesc Fabregas
ken's- David Villa
hee's- Messi Lionel
Messi was really cao yong (in Cantoneses) =.= he looks way better in photos lolol
awwwwwww!! how cute!! our childhood movie!! hello there, mike!
interior of the mall. lotsa eateries on the top floor.


we didn't stay there for a long time. because we understand the best will always leave for the last haha. it's Platinum Fashion Mall now!
walked out from the Central World and you gonna see this adorable bronze-made baby elephant statues. so cute right? the distance from Central World to Platinum Mall is just a stone's throw away.

Central World's hallway to Platinum Mall.
a golden lady statue? idk who she's. and yes, Platinum Mall is just there if you spotted it.

Platinum Fashion Mall is a six-storeys complex which specializes in fashion clothes and accessories, either in retail or wholesale. for me, it's kind of similar to Sungei Wang Plaza, just that the price here is cheaper.
The clothes shops operate on the principle that buying 1 piece is a retail retail price, but buying 3 (or sometimes more) pieces is wholesale and you get the wholesale price. An example of pricing structure is 1 women's shirt retail 250 baht, 3 shirts wholesale 500 baht.
so it's definitely better to drag your friends along. 'cause it's uneasy to find 3 loved pieces in a shop.
The lanes in Platinum are pretty narrow, this means that weekends are a brutal time to visit, as foot traffic is slowly moving.  
lucky us, we chose a weekday noon. i almost fainted inside. too messy!! but if you're very passionate in shopping, this's definitely your place. we only managed to finish 1 floor for women and half floor for men.


1 random photo snapped!
we're like OHMAGAWD how the hell is this girl gonna figure out where did she place the stocks. she almost buried by all the stocks already. =.= poor girl.
and oh ya, please and please, do not separate with your friends, you would really have no idea on how to find them back! it's like a palace inside with so many lanes. 
day 2 was all about shopping. took our dinner at Subway and McDonald, and then we called it a day.
shopping could be really tiringgggggggggggggggg.


DAY 4 
breakfast for the day!
FYI, they're all bought from 7-11 lolol. i told ya we visited there every every day. cheap and hygienic!
a variety of choice too. if you're in Thailand for 1 month, you could try 30 types of food there hahah!
and it's like finally!! Finally we're in Chatuchak. i've been really excited about here after knowing this place from others.
we took MRT from Phloen Chit to Mo Chit, and walked approximately 5 minutes to reach the market. and bear in mind that this is a weekend market, so it only sets up during the weekend. i'll laugh at you if you went on a weekday ahahah lolol.
from preventing to get lost in Chatuchak Weekend Market, i strongly advice you to download an application "Chatuchak Map" on your iOS device. i didn't know if playstore had it or not. check it out then. 
not to say the map is really accurate lah, but it's kinda useful. 
but the best thing is, don't ever separate with your accompanies here. i swear, and swear that you would cry.
cry not because you get lost, it's because you can't find your accompanies lolol! 



There are two parts of Chatuchak market, indoor and outdoor. above picture shown is outdoor. we literally melted no kidding. so so so hot, the Sun shone violently that day. even in the indoor part we felt stuffy and almost suffocated.
The market offers a wide variety of products including household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts, collectibles, food and live animals. 
20000 stalls, gone cray crazyyyyyy shopaholics!



the indoor!
the indoor part was another palace, we turned and turned and turned. used the map but still, couldn't figure out the best way to shop here. every lane was linked. didn't even know which part we walked, which part we didn't. 
despite the messy structure of this market, everything turned out pretty cool.
all the clothes were in dirt cheap prices! 
tee-shirt- 100-200 baht each
dress- 200-300 baht each
shorts- 150-300 baht each
shoes- 100-400 baht per pair
the prices quoted above were based on my own approximation only.
but for some shops, they had only 1 size for 1 design, so either it's too tight or too loose. unless you are of my size, or smaller, then getting a desired piece would be as easy as ABC.
shopping tips there : dress like me for girls! so you could try on the pants. some shops might not allow you to try, bring along a shorts and you could measure using it. with this, you don't even have to try out 'cause i could guarantee that everyone who visited there was sweaty. imagine you're sweaty trying out the clothes..
eewwww! 


random lunch.
had our lunch randomly in the market. too busy to shop so we settled our lunch easily rather than being choosy and picky.







so the first thing we saw him, we had the same thing in our thoughts.
"aiyo so pity! wearing this mascot in a big hot day like this. my goodness. hopefully the person inside doesn't get dehydrated" lolol. okay lah, i admit i added the "aiyo" myself 'cause they don't usually aiyo. haha.



special hook spotted. kinda nice but i didn't know if this last long or not.
this teh tarik guy was really cool! he knows how to speak multiple languages even Bahasa Malaysia!
The teh that he tarik also tasted quite good. very thick but in the end when we sipped finish, we found that the ice cubes were like whole cup =.=


slurpp!! i miss the taste! kinda different from Malaysia's.
chatuchak.dawn.peace.
spot a hot chick out there lolol =pppp


bring a recycle bag (or a few in case you're a big shopper) to go to shop. love the earth right?
i find it unnecessary to request for plastic bags when shopping. such a waste. just buy a nice recycle bag and use.
didn't know why this photo was taken. maybe hee thought he's cute? haha
by the time we reached Sukhumvit area, it's already dark. at first we planned to have dinner at the stalls in between Central World and Platinum Mall since it's recommended by a blogger. but it's kinda far from us, so at last, we took our dinner at Sukhumvit street.
it's a shop which was very obvious on the roadside. but i really would not tell where it was. why? get the answer down there.



from top left, it's tom yam soup, followed by green curry, som tham (green papaya salad), and salt-wrapped bbq fish clockwise. i only like the som tham, which i have been loving this dish from Kuching to Thailand haha. but the others tasted okay too. *start feeling nauseous just by looking at this photo*


outlook of this shop
so we went back to hotel and then two of them went massage right in front of our hotel, and i played my phone and chilled inside the room. couldn't join them to massage 'cause i had just got inked. i didn't want my lovely tattoo to be destroyed when the hands rub through my back.

it was midnight. hee kept on waking up and rushing to the toilet but i was too drained out that i did not really notice what had happened to her. but i knew she had diarrhea. that's all and i continued sleeping. lolol lazy bones of mine =p
in the morning which was DAY5, oh waitttttt! lemme start a new paragraph.


DAY 5
she told us she had had diarrhea but she got better in the morning. and in my heart i was singing "oh yesh! finally my immune system shows how strong it could be" because ken wasn't feeling well too. he was kinda sick and nauseous. *so proud* *flip hair*

just when i finished singing to myself, my tummy growled and i immediately turned nauseous wtf!
this story taught us a lesson that not to laugh at people lolol =.= but i did not laugh okayyyyyyyyy!
i was just singing to myself =.=

and then i vomited. vomited. and vomited. plan for this day was totally ruined! did not manage to go to The Grand Palace anymore urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
so we decided to go to Jim Thompson's Museum since it was nearer. must must must not stay in the hotel because we would waste the whole day since we would be leaving Bangkok the next day!


golf car picked us up from outside the lane.
take BTS to National Stadium and you will reach here. the entrance ticket is 50 baht for students! just show your student ID to the receptionist.


silk!

the one and only precious picture i had taken there.
luckily i did think of snapping this photo. because i literally died after this wtffffffffff!!
i was actually not feeling alright at all. so i could not recall what happened in the museum. i knew there's a lady explaining things for us in English Language.


yes it's her!
stupid body could not even stand for a second and wait until i visited the whole museum. felt like nearly fainting wtf. luckily i did not! i did not want to admit into the hospital in Bangkok lolol =.=
i lied down on the bench in the museum on ken's lap. luckily he's there OMG!! I LOVE HIM!!
he gave up visiting the museum just to look after me. hahahah... he's like the best! i could praise him here 'cause he doesn't read my blog =ppp then all of a sudden i think he got infected by me, he also turned dizzy hahahahha!!!
everyone around use was starring at us, erm? super stars for a moment? but i wasn't proud at all.
and then i vomited at Jim Thompson's house HAHAHA! i swear i wasn't intended to do this but i was really feeling unwell.
and on the way going home, i vomited again, on the MRT skytrain. this girl was so dumb and so sia soi lololol!!
sorry my bad, i really did not feel well at all.
but heyyyyyyyyy!! what a special experience!!


just now i was doing photo collage for the food photos, i felt nauseous again. but just slightly. wtf!! food that caused us food poisoning. so disgusting eww!~~~~

and after we're in hotel, we slept the whole day away from 2pm. WTF!! a day wasted!!!!!!! =.=
but for phuket's sake, we gotta rest well.


till then.







25 November 2013

Fifth. 5th.

i have first met Jeff at the age of 15th, so after knowing him for about half year, we started dating.
we couldn't figure out an exact date when we actually started dating, so we set the date ourselves, it's 17th Nov 2008 LOL.
so he had been through all my public exams together with me, commencing from PMR (on the way to drop into his trap), SPM and STPM. btw, definitely not UPSR although we studied in the same elementary school =p

i have just stepped into the age of 20th, equally, i gave him 1/4 of my life to him. *damn it why this much?=p*
"regret or not?" never.
"why not? you gave him your most precious 18th, which everyone single of us has only once!" because of passion no doubt.
i find passion extraordinary important in a relationship. it's the key to a ever-lasting relationship.

the tender age of 15th, guess probably most people expect us to break up like after 1 year, 2 years or at most, 3 years? but yea, nope.
i used to be a typical clingy girlfriend to my ex boyfriends, an extremely typical bad example.
overly-attached, angry over small things, jealous at every girl around them. i wanted them to be with me like every second, every minute, every single day! such a pathetic girl.

but not until i have started dating with Jeff. of course, i did brought over my bad attitude transferring one to the present boyfriend, didn't do that really long, i changed quite a lot immediately after being with him.
throwing back, he's such a genius in bearing my absurd attitudes. haha. quite often in throwing a tantrum at him, but he could always restrain my temper.
he could really use a variety of ways to gain my smile again whenever i frown, sad, upset, depress.
moreover, i sulked whenever he did the things i dislike. seriously, how could he bear with all these scum attitudes wtf =.= haha

started our LDR (long distance relationship) more than 1 year already, such a tough year.
LDR has never been easy, it sucks all the way. Jeff has been treating me like a real princess, he solved most of my problems whenever he's around with me, but it's really kind of hard when he left. i suffered a little though.

problems and conflicts between us? yes we do have. how on earth this whole world exists a couple without a single conflict happens in between?????? if yes, i salute!
much more frequent after he went to pursue his studies. 12 months in a year, i could only meet him for approximately 3 months this year. perhaps less than?
we are struggling really hard to maintain it, not wanting to let go of each other.
frankly speaking, i did mention about breaking up, but he usually just ignored or begged.
luckily he did persevere, if he wasn't, there would not even have the existence of this post oops!

guess not, we have had just passed our fifth anniversary. as usual, no celebration. ever since we started this relationship, we can never meet during this day.
when he was 17th, i was 16th, he sat for his SPM. and then i was 17th, he was 18th, i sat for my SPM.
so when i finally turned 18th, he was 19th, he sat for his STPM. the following year, i sat for my STPM and he was already in the university, experiencing his brand new life.
perhaps we had really chose the wrong date wtf =.=

i didn't mind at all, it's really okay because we have got no choice.
i want him to be stress-free in this relationship, not worrying even a single thing.
it's all about a trust word! T.R.U.S.T!
i have seen too much of unsuccessful relationships due to truthfulness, i don't even have any intention to let mine to be one of the examples.
if, unfortunately, there's that 1 day, hopefully we're being separated by losing passion, absolutely not because of trust, jealousy, patience, and bla bla bla.......... but please please please, make it a zero possibility for this to happen.

so some tips out there......................... *not to say i'm an expert, 'cause i'm apparently not 1*
i uber hate overly-attached type of girlfriends. how could guys bear with it! *puke*
i gave time to Jeff to being with his family whenever he's in Kuching, so it's kinda okay if he could not make a date with me. as long as he is happy, what else do i really care.
and of course, i don't get angry easily. the amount of number we quarreled in a year could be counted within five fingers.
and a big no no to jealousy! if you trust him, why bother to jealous?

oh ya! bear in mind that, meeting a right person has never been easy. not to mention about bf/gf, usually finding a friend with the right tempo is considered as uneasy already.
so please appreciate! be gratitude for his existence always and always.
just a word thank has never enough to express how i feel.


with love,
amelia xoxo

one of my favourite pieces =p

Birthday Celeb 2.0

aiks! abandoned my blog for quite a while. no worries, i'm here again =)
yea, 31/10 was my birthday. and i have officially ended my teenage years *sob*
so since my girls and Jeff weren't in Kuching, i expected my birthday celebration would not be as happening as last few years but they proved me wrong =.=

*warning! wordy post.*

Ken went to Sibu to work right 1 week before my birthday and i knew he would not be able to celebrate my birthday together with me. kind of sad but yea, what to do =(
so as usual, hugging my lappie and watching TVD for the whole birthday eve. PLANNED and SETTLED.
at least the super HAWT Ian Somerhalder was there for me what! LOL.

tadaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (taken by samsung s4, so blur =.=)
i was watching TVD halfway which it had to be doing with some villains and supernatural parts, making my adrenaline accelerated. Some more, the dogs outside my house kept on barking *unusual barks*, causing me to be very nervous.
i had got no choice but to pause the series and check what is happening outside.
and then i found this!

Kenny Chong!! and Bernard Khiew =.=
i had been receiving this kind of surprise ever since my 17th birthday, but i could hardly believe my eyes to see these 2 sweet guys right outside my house at 12a.m. sharp! holding a birthday cake <3
too surprise because i don't even expect! awwwwww........
i was at first thought Ken wasn't even in Kuching yet and then i saw him at my doorstep.
and every year i wore my pyjamas to take photos with my birthday cake wtf!!

seriously, i wasn't complaining. but this cake was way too sweet LOL
so on the 31st, my time had been all reserved by them! felt good when my time was all occupied.

my lovely lunch date!
had my birthday lunch at Sanga Japanese Restaurant. pretty good and i loved the food there.
this wasn't my first visit here, and i have always loved here.
they served really fresh and tasty sashimi. #imiss #iheart

salmon sashimi! oh dear, it tasted like heaven! so fresh..........
my Sanga noodle! strictly for beef lover like me. *slurp*
Ken's Suki Beef Bento. very beefy too. but the soup-based was different. both were considered nice for me.
very satisfied lunch. good food with my favourite guy! 
it just didn't feel that right when all of my favourite people were away from hometown during my birthday because i had them all around last year. and i didn't expect even a little to have a date with him. 
more than just a thank.


yup! our favourite high-tea place, Starbucks @ Plaza Merdeka to fix our coffee addicts.
i love watching the scenes outside from here, especially the enormous old cotton tree with lush green field accompanied by double espresso shots cappuccino. totally chilled and relaxed.
and the best of the best was when this guy footed all the bills ahahah!

it's dinner time! together with bryan and bernard. Fusion Grill @ Brighton Suqare.

mine: spicy ribs. bryan's : chicken cordon bleu
was kind of disappointing. big portion but the tastes weren't right.

my silly face with the guys.
the pizza was a big no no! the topping and the pizza crust could be separated wtf.
and the crust wasn't crispy at all.
i had been there for the second time. but hmmm, guess it would be hard for my third attempts.

all of a sudden, i saw a waiter holding a bouquet of flower walked towards me but due to my stupidity, i didn't really aware and continue to chit-chat with the guys.
not when he passed it to me. a total shock!!

shocked. totally shocked!
who doesn't love flowers? i love it! especially roses and lilies hehehe........
the guys wanted me to guess who actually gave this to me, and i failed. LOL.
it's Jeff!! he requested Bernard to order this for me. awwwwwwww!! sweetness overload.
so sorry you weren't in the answer because i swear this wasn't your thing. HAHAHA oops.
such a sweetheart of mine. i thought they lied me. so...............

i called and confirmed HAHAHA!



so i thought it's over and they would send me home after this, but nooooooo!
Bernard insisted to go to the Lighthouse for a drink. i kept on refusing because i didn't feel like drinking at all but ok, let him win for once.

countless bottle of beers to settle really freaked me out.#alcoholphobia! they thought i wasn't so conscious after some drinkings, therefore they kept on cheating to let me drink wtf. #whenagirldrinkswithtwoguys
i always think that celebrating birthday at restaurant/bar was kind of awkward when the birthday song played and everyone was staring at you. i  thought this wouldn't happen on me, yea, it happened HAHAHA

school flower =.= they had been calling me as school flower since few years ago and now they still did wtf HAHA!
grinned til so awkward............ so embarrassing when everyone was looking at me.
and i cut the cake. my third cake for my 20th birthday!! felt so loved by them hehe.
Bryan : so you thought it's all over right?
Me : *glared at him*
i looked around and i noticed a waiter carrying a wine glass filled with liquor inside walking towards me. i sensed and knew that i would be doomed!
whenever i drank beer and liquor at the same time, i could be really drunk and unconscious and experience severe hangover the next day.
but i just couldn't say noooooooooooo!

FLAMING LAMBORGHINI i knew it! my expression was damn so reluctant =.=
*ignore the guy behind LOL
survived! 
i LITERALLY survived wtf. so again, out of any expectation, they really did surprise the hell out of me.
or maybe i did not expect, so everything turned out to be ultra great. they're just too hilarious!

the guys with the tequila shots!
it's not fun at all to let them see me get drunk slowly, so i pretended to go to toilet and ordered them the shots. gotcha!
more than just a happy word to prank them HAHAHA!!
btw, no driving when you drink ya! be safe and sound  to reach home okay?

BLESSINGS.........
