hi alhana,
im back!!
how are you? i thought i will see a message from you these few days... have you been bz? you shld have came back from msia rite?
the bkk trip was thoroughly tiring... my legs ache like crazy throughout the trip... i guess my shoes aren't that comforty...
i bought quite a lot of things... but i din spent all the money i brought there... no point spending on things just to clear my baht...
i went to mbk, siam centre, siam square, world trade centre, big c, central chidlom, pratunam market and small places along the street near my hotel. i decided to give chatuchak a miss since i was so tired yesterday...
i bought jeans, shoes, bags, wallet etc... really got a lot of things to buy and the prices are quite reasonable.
but my poor hubby has to drag along with me... he did went into the book stores and took quite a lot of pics during the half-day city tour but his back was breaking and aching like mad too.... actually, he felt that things were abt the same price in spore if we factor in the air tix... which is true lah... but some things may not be found in spore actually....
how's tar4 finale???!!! there was cable tv in the hotel but no axn...
mind telling me what happened?

Hi Blossom,
Welcome back! I got bk from M'sia on THur evening..and since u left on the same day, tot I'd wait till u returned before posting. My trip was good, altho it was hard sleeping in a foreign place on my own. But after the first nite, I had no problems coz I was so tired by the end of each day! We had a free day on Wed, so spent it going down to KLCC to window shop. Things there weren't really cheap, prob coz KLCC is quite an upmarket shopping area. My colleague just bought a belt and shoes..and I refrained fr buying anything
Aiyah, if u go abroad to shop, cannot think abt things like air tix and accomodation bringing the px up. Actually its not really true. I stock up on bras and undies when I'm there...and buying the same amt in singapore cld probably cost more in air tix and accomodation to BKK (considering 1 bra here can already cost $40-$60)! Its really a matter of what you buy, and how much. That's why I dun buy things here...save money for my bkk shopping trips
Its always best when u can go on holiday and buy lotsa stuff back. Sometimes, things abroad are so ex tt u hafta think twice abt buying them.
TAR4 finale was quite exciting. Are u gonna catch the repeats on AXN? If so, I wun tell u the results! Catch it ureself and we can talk abt it later!

hi alhana,
i see... i also had difficulty sleeping in a foreign country... sometimes i even get stomache becos i ate foreign food... just cannot get used to it. bkk is ok but i did feel weird eating at restaurants the past few days... i think too much rich food is making me really umcomfortable... hahahah...
yah... i stocked up on bras also... but hor, dunno whether you also felt it... i think the bra size is kinda different. im one size bigger there... even for normal clothes, im now an L instead of M... there were places where i cant try the clothes, so kinda worried when i buy... but it turned out ok... i think the ppl there are really experienced in judging whether i can fit into the clothes...
like what you said before, thai gals are really slim.. i really felt like a big fat auntie...
im more determined to lose weight now... so sad when i see my weight and how thick my waist has become...
oh, even for shoes, i felt that im one size bigger too. there were shoes which i fit the length but the front part doesnt fit nicely.... and i really like the design... so sad.... but i bought 2 pairs of shoes there and i really love them...
i looked for quality so i was really selective in what i buy... i made sure i really like it and its good quality instead of blindly buying it becos its cheap... i still have baht left over and i think i will keep it for the next trip.
we ate at restaurants... usu jap restaurants... my hubby loves jap food and the only time i see him smile is when he's eating... poor chap... he was so tired that he felt asleep the moment he touches the bed.... really appreciate the true meaning of shop until you drop...
overall, it was quite a fruitful trip but im really so tired.. how i wish im on leave tmr too.... but got reports to do... cant be helped....
im been to klcc before... yes, i agree with you, it is a more upmarket place. i think i din buy much when i was there few years ago even though they were having the sales then.
i dun have axn at home.... dun think i will see the repeats... will channel 5 repeat? i think they repeated for tar3 rite??

Hi Blossom,
Erm..doubt tt Ch5 will repeat. Do u know anyone w AXN? U can ask them to tape the ep for u. Otherwise, u'll hafta read it on the CBS website. So sad tt u missed the finale!
Haha..I told ya the clothes there are all really small! Remember me telling u I felt like a hippo shopping in thailand? Had to wear L & XL there!!! Yup, thai gals are really slender..its no wonder their clothing sizes are so small. I think only Wacoal stocks up bigger sized bras..the other brands are quite small..like up to 36A only or something. Hey, ure like me...wun blindly buy things just coz they're cheap. Like U, I'd rather go for quality than quantity. Did u guys tailor clothes there? My colleagues had their business shirts tailored there for only SGD25 per pc! Really cheap. And good quality too!
Oh, there's this Thai restaurant in Siam Sq tt hubby & I will always visit when we're in BKK. Its authentic thai food, and cheap! Portions are generous too. We had jap food once, but it wasn't really nice. They do have alot of jap eateries, don't they? But we stuck to thai food most of the time. Love the green curries, tom yam kung and all the other spicy stuff
Hmm..talking abt all this is making me miss BKK alot!
KLCC was also having sales when I was there. Its now the M'sia mega sale period. But after discount, px is almost on par w Singapore! Shows how ex their imported stuff can cost. My m'sia colleagues commented tt unless we go and buy local pdts, things there aren't really cheap.
Okie dokie..its back to work for us tmr
Haven't been into the office since Monday..wonder if my mailbox is flooded 
Take care n have a good week ahead!

we din tailor make any shirts. my hubby din want to buy anything. he only bought a bamboo fountain and a cup for himself. he went into book stores but cld not find anything interesting.
we din try any thai food. hubby dun like. we ate jap food most of the time... his fav.
sounds like you went bkk a lot of times... i dun think i will go back again.... at least not in the near future. the pollution is quite bad and all the beggars along the road is making me depressing... but hubby said there were more in the past....

Hi Blossom,
Yeah, we try to go to BKK once a yr or once in 2 yrs for a shopping spree. I seldom shop in Singapore. Here, I only buy clothes like once a yr (usually before CNY). Even books & computer games (originals) are cheaper in Thailand. Did you buy Order of the Phoenix there? I bought the PC game Sims Superstar there for only SGD20 (it costs double here). Even my hubby, who generally dislikes shopping, enjoys shopping in BKK. There's more cool shirts n t-shirts there than in Singapore.
Pity ure hubby doesn't like thai food. Quite a shame considering ure in Thailand
In contrast, my hubby prefers thai food to Jap food. We like our food spicy! Actually the dishes are quite similar to chinese dishes, just hotter. Did you guys buy any thai snacks back? We like the rice crackers w pork floss. V yummy & addictive.
We spent Sat at Ngee Ann City mooncake shopping. Bought really yummy snowskin ones from Shangri-La's Shang Palace, fried yam ones, walnut ones, and macademia nut ones fr Tung Lok. I love mooncakes, esp the snowskin ones and walnut ones. I'm quite fussy when it comes to snowskin..only like those tt have really soft fragrant skin. Some can be hard and doughy..yucks.
Hope ure having a good Monday. I'm busy clearing my mails and preparing slides for a department mtg tmr. Head swimming with figures!

hi alhana,
wow... sounds like you really save up for bkk shopping....
you are lucky that your hubby likes to shop there... mine dun like it at all. i think he felt a total waste of $$ to fly there and buy things.
he travels for scenary so that he can keep snapping his camera.
talking abt mooncakes... sigh... dunno what to buy this year... din buy any last year becos i was bz with wedding and my family doesnt really like mooncakes...
my fren is asking me whether i want to go hk for shopping.... have you been there? is it a better place for shopping?

Hi Blossom,
Nope, haven't been to HK in ages. I even have cousins there, but they come down here instead of us going there..funny right Funny..I nvr had the urge to visit HK.
Yup, we do like shopping there. I guess if one party doesn't like the place, it wun be much fun for the other person either. Its best when pple travel to a place they both like. I was q surprised my hubby enjoyed BKK. Think he liked the range of clothes they have there, the food, as well as cheaper games. Gems are cheaper too. Of coz, u have to visit the reputable jewellery shops or risk getting conned.
Hehe..first time i heard of a family who doesn't like mooncakes! But good lah..can save money. They can be q costly.

hi alhana,
i see.... i seldom travel overseas when im young so now i have the urge to visit any places that ive never been to.
my hubby is also planning a trip to australia. maybe early next year.
hahahah.... yah loh. my family always have difficulty finishing mooncakes. i like snow skin type but its rather fattening... so i try to cut down too...

Hi Blossom
Yeah, mooncakes are fattening but I look at it from another pt of view. You only get to eat them once a yr! So throw some caution to the wind! Besides, no one expects you to eat one whole mooncake at a go (altho it's awfully easy to)
I've been to q a no of countries when young. Been to China, Japan, Taiwan, Hawaii, US, NZ, UK, Paris & various parts of South-east Asia. Haven't been to Australia tho..can u believe it? Hubby wants to go to the US, and so do I..but thinking of the flight time makes me jittery. I hate long haul flights. Thinking of being cooped up for 20 hrs in a flying tin can just turns me off.

hi alhana,
its easy for me to eat one whole mooncake too...
wow... thats a lot of places... hey, i also cannot stand long flights. i get motion sickness extremely easily. even on the flight to bkk, im feeling it... can you believe that???
but my hubby bought me this straps that can help to curb motion sickness... i just straped it over my wrist and it works for me.
maybe its all in the mind.
i read abt the finale in the cbs website... it did sound like a close fight to the finish line. i think the gay couple did well....

Hi Blossom,
Yup, its easy to finish one whole mooncake at a go. It takes willpower for me to just eat a quarter at a time. The most wld be half a day! But I think its nicer if u savour smaller portions. can be quite jelat if u eat too much since they're so sweet.
For me, I dun get motion sickness...but I'll get irritable, and my bod/neck will ache from being in one position for too long. Its just really uncomfortable, not to mention boring. The worse if when I keep looking at my watch and realise tt time is crawling If I can sleep on planes, prob it wld be easier to pass the time. Trouble is, w the engine noise, the sitting up position etc, its near impossible for me to sleep.
Yeah, it was a close race to the finish. Kelly & Jon managed to figure out the Stadium clue, whereas Chip & Reichen found the clue by luck. Guess luck really does play a huge part in this game. poor Dave & Jeff didn't even get to finish the race!

hi alhana,
yah... thats why i always drink chinese tea after eating mooncakes. let the bitterness flush away the sweetness...
i know what you mean by time crawling... thats what i felt when im on the flight to nz for honeymoon....
yah... dave and jeff were so unlucky... i think kelly and jon did well.. the other time they also managed to catch up with millie&chuck though they are lagging behind...

Hi Blossom,
Yeah, its tradition to drink chinese tea when eating mooncakes anyway. And the combi is quite nice. I like chinese tea, esp when chilled! As I prefer my tea plain (ie no sugar or milk), chinese n green tea suit my palate best.
PIty Kelly & Jon weren't lucky when it mattered. I was actually rooting for them to win! I grew to like them as the show progressed...found them the most interesting of the teams left. The 2 all-male teams are quite boring.
Hey, u went to NZ for ure honeymoon? Where did u guys go? Its been 5 yrs since my trip there. Didn't really enjoy it coz we spent most of our time on the coach, even tho it was a F&E thing. What a waste of money. I wld've loved to spend more time in each city..unfortunately w the tight schedule, we had like only 1-2 nites stay in each place. And we paid so much too! That's why I shun anything which has a fixed itinerary. Wld really prefer to travel on our own terms and schedule.

hi alhana,
yup, i went nz for honeymoon. it was really fun.... we planned our own itinerary and drove. it was quite a leisure tour... we would wake up at 8+ and go on the road at 9+... driving on our own gives us the flexibility to stop and take pics when we see nice scenary.
we flew to auckland and took a flight to christchurch. from there we collected our car... stayed one nite at christchurch before we move southwards to queenstown and up again to the glaciers and whale watching at kaikoura. we went picton to catch the ferry to wellington.
from wellington, we move north again... stopping at various places of interest... and finally reach auckland again before we catch our flight back spore.

Hi Blossom,
Yeah, that's the best way to see NZ. I was quite unhappy w the trip. As it was arrg by my ILs, I didn't know what was happening till the trip itself. If I were to do it all over again, I wld do what u guys did. My ILs weren't interested in whale watching etc...dunno why they wanted to go NZ in the first place...just to see mountains & sheep? Sigh.

Hi Blossom,
It wasn't a guided tour. It was actually F&E ie when we got to the cities, like Dunedin, Queenstown, Christchurch etc we were on our own. The trouble was the itinerary was too packed..all these places in just 10 days. So we spent most of the time travelling. I haven't taken guided tours since i was a kid...hate them! Anyway I blame myself for agreeing to go w/o knowing what was in store for the trip. If I'd known it wld be spent mainly stuck in the coach, I wldn't have agreed to go.

hi alhana,
i see.... yah, its best not to squeeze too many places in one tour... end up rushing here and there and not really relaxing... no point lah...
i think my australia trip will be f&e as well. hubby loves to venture on our own... but quite concerned on the terrorism... see how it goes first...

Hi Blossom,
Yup, its terrible to hafta rush here and there during ure holiday. The worst are those 13 day european things where they give u like only 2 days per city! That is really a waste of $.
I think places like Australia & NZ are suitable for F&E. They have proper transportation infrastructure, signs are in english, and the landscape is great for self-exploration. Even in UK, I had contemplated driving ard on our own. However my hubby doesn't drive, so I tot against it. Wld be tiring to hafta drive solo all the way.

Hi Blossom,
True, u need to plan more when doign F&E..but I enjoy doing that. I planned our Europe backpacking trip down to the smallest details, just coz I like to My hubby, on the other hand, just relaxed and let me do all the work. Hehe. Mmm..wld be so nice to visit the UK again, but its so expensive tt I dun think we can afford to.
Such nice weather to sleep in tdy! Oh, I saw Mars!! This bright red spot in the sky last nite! Quite cool

hi alhana,
still feeling tired at the moment... sigh... today was not that busy... i need to see my boss for a discussion but she was so busy....
tmr going mooncake shopping with a good fren... my hubby already started drooling by the thot of ice-cream mooncakes.
still debating whether to buy any for myself... true that its once a year... but i really put on so much weight lately.... last nite still ate buffet... sinful sinful....

Hi Blossom,
Nvr mind...wt can be lost but mooncakes can only be eaten once a yr. Right now I'm exercising regularly, so can afford to indulge in mooncakes once in awhile. But I only eat a quarter a day. Its just to satisfy my cravings Ice cream mooncakes??? Why not just eat ice cream? I'm still a purist..prefer traditional mooncakes to all those w new fangled flavors like durian, orange, ice cream, chocolate.
Yay! So glad its Friday! Pity no TAR4 to watch anymore. Wonder when Survivor 7 will premiere. That's my fave reality show of all time.
Nvr mind...wt can be lost but mooncakes can only be eaten once a yr. Right now I'm exercising regularly, so can afford to indulge in mooncakes once in awhile. But I only eat a quarter a day. Its just to satisfy my cravings

Hi Blossom,
So did u get any mooncakes? We're finishing our snowskin ones..so sad. So tempted to buy more, but like u said, they're fattening Why must delicious things always turn out fattening???
I watched Pirates of the Carribean yesterday. Its quite entertaining, altho it was pretty long! Almost 2.5 hrs! Its got action, humor, and some romance..all the ingredients for a fun movie. Are u guys planning to watch it? HMm..looks like there's no other show we're planning on watching till yr end. Of coz, Return of the King is the only one we really REALLY wanna watch this yr

hi alhana,
i also have migraine once in a whole. it must be really terrible that you actually vomitted. do see a doc if it comes back.
i stayed at home today to tidy up my hubby's mess. he is very lazy in tidying up those things that he brought over from his home. do you know that the mess has been there for a year?? i really cannot stand it anymore so i decided to help him tidy up. he was quite resistant at first but when he saw how pissed i was, he just kept quiet.
maybe i was standing up and squatting down for too many times, i felt rather giddy now. i get giddy spells very often... i think its prob due to my blood pressure. i think its common for gals.
hope you enjoyed your movie. my hubby went to work today and he is still not back. dun think we will be watching any movies for these few weeks.

hi Blossom,
No, my migraine didn't come back...thank god! I used to get migraines more frequently in the past, until I went to see an acunpuncturist. Now, its not as frequent, and the pain isn't as severe. Still, last Sat's attack was v bad. Anyway my menses came a day after. They say that menstruating women are more prone to migraine attacks...maybe that was the trigger. I started getting migraines when I was in primary school..can u believe it??
Hehe..men and housework usually don't go together. Think someone wrote into the ST Forum tdy that if men were to help out w the household chores, there wld be less need for maids.
I have a friend who's mildy anaemic. She was prone to blackouts and giddiness. Yeah, it seems more common for gals.
Movie was ok. Preferred The Italian Job & Pirates to this show. I think 28 Days Later shld be nice..its got lotsa good reviews.
Alrite..have a gd day!
