Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

Hi Blossom,

If its too cheap, u hafta chk out the timing of the flight, as well as the hotels. Some flights are cheap coz they're not popular flights (ie evening or nite flights) But overall, things shld be cheaper now compared to pre-SARS, pre-war etc levels

Great time to travel if u have the $$$.

U book so early..doubt u'll have trouble getting ure leave approved! How many days do u plan on going? If u want to visit Chatuchak mkt, bear in mind tt it only opens on weekends (ie Sat n Sun)
 


hi alhana,
how come nite flights are not popular? i thot its better to spend the nite on the plane rather than waste precious day time....
lol.gif


i sure hope it will be approved... my boss dun seem to approve leave until its near to the period even if i applied in advance.... she may be worried that no one will be around to do things for her....
sad.gif


my hubby has took some leaflets from tour agents... we will look at them later. i dunno whether i want to go chatuchak. if the weather is so hot, i dun think i want to squeeze in the crowds....

Hi Blossom,

Nite flights aren't popular for short-haul coz u reach ure destination at nite..meaning u lose a day there (and ure already paying for the hotel room) Most pple wld take the first flight out so tt they can enjoy a full day at their destination. However if ure flight at nite means u reach the destination in the AM, then its a different story. Really depends on what time u reach the destination. Plus the flight to BKK is only 2 hrs...it passes by really quickly.
 
i think most of the teachers should be able to remember the last few batches of Hai Sing gals cos there were at most 4 classes per level only.

sweetbuns: i was in LDDS for a brief one year (my sec one year). i played one of the sam sengs in the LDDS drama back in the old Hai Sing school hall with Cheryl as the lead. hee.. see if we can identify each other.

hi alhana,
thanks for telling me. i will take note of that.
happy.gif


i was very bz in office today, clearing a report with my big boss. she has really demanding requests and some can be really ridiculous. but what to do, just have to do whatever she says.
lame.gif

Hi Stars!!! hahaha.... this was the thread that inspired me to start the thread in fbo.

keruri, i was in the play too..... i kinda remember it. but i cannot remember what i did!
sad.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Ure whole life seems to revolve ard reports now, doesn't it? Hope this one turned out better.

I've been in training for the last 3 days. So tired..brain's really fried. Co had engaged an external consultant fr UK to fly down and conduct the training session. Its been 3 really fruitful days..but I'm really drained now :P

Better plan ure BKK trip asap. Now w such low prices, pple may snap tix up quickly.
 
hi alhana,
i cant agree more. im a report generator... reports, reports, reports and nothing but reports.
crazy.gif
sometimes, i do until blur....

it's good to have training.... i dunno when i will ever have training... there are so many reports to do. and its already toned down already... heard that there are even more reports to do during good times.
lame.gif


i also hope to plan the trip. but my hubby has some problems with his schedule. he may not be able to make it in aug... we need to see whether we can sort things out.
 
Hi everybody,

I'm a HS girl too! Graduated in 1992. From 4E2.

Hope everybody is fine. I've lost contact with almost everyone from sec school except 2 real close friends. I'm glad to find this thread.
 
hi sunny76,

think we are classmates, any clues as to who you are?? i was in the swimming club for the first two years...
 
hello alhana,
you watched tar4 last nite right?

the nfl's wives are finally booted out... actually, i think they are one of those teams with team spirit and they were very determined and i really admire their fighting spirit. but i just feel that they are not likely to go far.... dunno why... just a feeling.
uhoh.gif


india was featured so negatively.... dirty streets, poor children.... the trains are really soooo congested. im sure the teams really got the shock outta their life.....
lame.gif
 
Hi Blossom

I think after Europe, the teams had to be sent to some place really difficult to experience a great culture shock. India is perfect for that. But considering the circumstances, they did pretty well, esp the women. U didn't watch TAR1 right? The teams went to India too, and one grp (a mom and daughter team) were so upset w the environment and the race situation tt they almost broke down n cried. Their van was surrounded by women and children begging, and the sight was heart-wrenching.

Yeah, the NFL wives did better than I expected. Overall, that must've been one smelly experience for the teams! The dirt, the dirty clothes and the smelly fish..urgh! I wldn't want to be in their shoes.
 
hi alhana,
yah... it was a terrible culture shock... i din watch tar1 but hope to see it one day.
happy.gif


oh, i booked my package already. im going on 21 aug morning, coming back 23 aug nite. i booked with chan bros. i applied for leave liao... but my boss hvt approved.
lame.gif
 
Hi blossom,

Glad to hear u've booked ure package! How much did it cost per pax? So I guess u'll hafta take 2 days leave? Not too bad lah. Better save up now for ure 3D/2N shopping spree!

If u have AXN, u may be able to catch TAR1 one day. They sometimes have re-runs and will show an entire season over the same weekend. Fun!
 
hi alhana,
the package costs $308 per pax but if they cannot book our first choice hotel, we need to top up another $30 for our 2nd choice hotel.
lame.gif


actually, our first choice hotel offers one nite free but we will have flown back by then..... chan bros dun seem that flexible enough to switch the flight for us....
lame.gif


yah... im really looking forward to it. i want to buy lotsa things!!!
biggrin.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Its a shame u can't enjoy the one free nite. Silly tt they offer it, yet cannot accomodate you on that flights. Which hotel do you plan on staying? Maybe you can ask Chan Bros for a later flight but at a more unpopular time?
 
Hi yan,

My name starts with PET instead. I've no club who you are. To know who I am, just simply click on my username on top of any of my msg to see my email account.
 
hi sunny76...
i know u too. hee... we were in the same class (sec1A) during our first year. my hanyu pinyin name starts with "W". hee.. i was in netball for my first year before i went to guides for the rest of my three years there. hee...
 
hi alhana,
my first choice hotel is arnoma hotel.... the one you stayed in. that is the hotel that offers one nite free stay. chan bros told us that since the hotel is having the promotion, it might be tough to book it. so she advised us to book the flight without considering the free stay... or else we may have to pay for an additional nite ourselves if we din get arnoma.
lame.gif
she insist that once she book the flights, cannot change anymore.
sad.gif


oh, my leave has been approved... really looking forward to the trip.
proud.gif
yah... must save up... so that i can buy more things there. how much baht should i buy?
 
Hi Blossom,

That's so inflexible. Guess that's the downside of booking packages. But I guess 3D/2N is enough if you're just there to shop. But if you want to squeeze in sightseeing, it may be abit tight.

I changed ard 20k baht, which is equivalent to $850. That's for 2 person's spending money for 1 whole week! Actually if u shop at boutiques or dept stores, can use credit card. Cash is more for transportation, airport taxes, and places w/o credit card facilities (like some MBK stalls, those pasar malam type stalls, and some food places) I think changing $500 is more than enough for 2 pple.

i graduated in 1997 .. I think so .. anyway i'm 28 this year....

Any buddies here ?
 
Hi! I was from 4E2 too. I was informed of this message through a fren. hoped to contact more ex-4E2(Grad 93).Miss Quek was my History teacher. Mr Ng was the ruler wielding science teacher and Mdm Wee , our "Mr Rochester" teacher.
happy.gif
 
alhana,
yah loh... i think the person is just too lazy to change it for us. so kept scaring us that cannot change one. but my hubby is in the travel industry, he knows that can change. but if chan bros want to charge admin fee becos of that, we can do nothing.
lame.gif


thanks.... will change abt that amount. is arnoma near to mbk? i tried to located the hotel in maps but cannot find leh.... maybe the maps are outdated...
lol.gif
 
Hi Blossom

Arnoma is directly opposite the World Trade Centre. Its abt 15 min walk to MBK (depending on how fast u walk) I'm surprised tt u can't find the hotel..its been ard since I was a teenager!

Chk out this website for locations of hotels in the Siam/Pratumwan area :

http://www.bangkokhoteltravel.com/bangkok_maps/siam_ratchadamri.htm

If ure main shopping target is MBK, can consider staying at Pratumwan Princess (the hotel is adjacent to the shopping complex) but its pricier.
