Thailand - The Land of Smile.

---
And i promise on my The Dog merchandises, there are ALOT to read.
Seriously.
Trust me to write a short post, *snort*, NOT!

I can actually devide this up to a few chapters, but i'm lazy =P!

So this ONE POST contains the whole Thailand trip doodles and rambles! Hehehe!

Enjoy? I hope! Muahahahahahahahaa!!

And cheap stuffs.
Cheap (but scary) taxi-rides.
Cheap food.
Almost every major brand you could ever hoped for in the world.
And food.
Tons of flavours for LAYS potato chips, not to forget cheap (not that i like LAYS, but just thought i mentioned it).
... and when i say tons, i DO mean TONS.

And lots and lots of stuffs!

I want to move to Thailand XD! Hahaha!

One reason why i freakingishly love Thailand, was because of the brand, The Dog!

The Dog stuffs there are real and official and CHEAP. Those you get here are overpriced and fake.
(Its real because its sold at department stores only, and there's the Hanadeka sign confirming its originality.)

You choose lar where you want to buy those merchandises! Which i really really REALLY LOVE XD!~

So anyways, the last time i went (2003/ 2004?), The Dog merchandises were everywhere, so i went crazy everywhere! Like really mad! And its dirt-cheap, like RM1 for most of everything!

This time was not as satisfying (though satisfying in other ways), because The Dog craze had died down at Thailand, and almost every other funny brand came out which i'm not interested, so it didn't get me as craze and shopping wasn't as fun adee...

But i don't know to say if *thats* lucky or not; "lucky" is because since this time there were less, almost none, The Dog stuffs, it gave my cousins some peace-of mind, since they were the ones out with me...

However if it was like back then... oh God...
Take and throw to basket.
No need to see what is it! As long as its The Dog (and also because its CHEAP XD!~)!
Though i'll sort-it-out in the end to see if i had that stuff adee anot, but seriously...

Like i lost my head the way the dogs head are engorged (= =")... the opposite way nya...

I swear as "clear-headed" as when i want to be, sometimes, when it comes to SHOPPING with LOADS of stuffs i adore... i can go all air-headed and started buying everything in sight that i need to be controlled (by who else, my cousins!... and my wallet as well...)!

And gleeeeeee all the way (even after leaving the shop) that luckily Thai people are polite enough to not look at other people, otherwise i would've gotten thrown into the Thailand-version of Tanjung Rambutan!

So yeah, luckily my cousin needn't do much of the "controlling-part"... till the end that is... hehe, wait for the story lar!


Ok, back to my trip, before i side-track more, i initially lazy to write one, but because i've taken some pics to Blog adee (What? Go Thailand also think about Blogging? Hahaha!), better don't waste it!


11 July 2007 Wednesday
I've roughly packed a couple of days before the trip, but somehow or rather i got all nervous before the trip (which i don't know why!) it was like around 2-3am before i sleep after all the last-minute-packings + online! And i had to wake up the next morning for a flight at 10:30am!

That said, somehow or rather i found myself rushing out of the house and somemore last minute packings that i forgot a whole bunch of important stuffs, like forgetting to say a proper goodbye to HeeChul and left pan-chan at home!
I would not further elaborate why pan-chan's so important (before he perasan mad), but lets say he is very required for some pics taking while at Thailand, and i need to hug something from home to sleep if i'm at another place! Otherwise i can't sleep!

I forced HeeChul to sleep with me the night before leaving btw, hehe, by carrying her to my room and letting her sleep there instead! Hehehe!

I bought her a collar to wear, so in anycase she leaves the house at least she's collared and people will know she's owned (but she's so fat she doesn't look stray anyways)!

She's a good girl in the sense she just let me wear the collar on her without any fuss =)!

Reached LCCT with some time to spare!

That said, but we end up late entering the plane because we mistaken the boarding time =P!

Oh yah, i went with my mom, her friend and my cousin May =)!

The flight was ok, but the annoying part was this kid who sat behind me.
Noisy throughout the whole flight, luckily i sleep throughout the flight, but occasionally got waken up by the racket he caused!!

He even whacked me on my head for no apparent reason ok (= =")...

And the mom of his only scold him to not do it, didn't even apologize to ME whatsoever! What the?
I honestly don't mind (kids are just being kids)... except his mother being so rude, in a way, that i mind!

The stupidest part is the kid only kept quiet when the plane is landing... because he had fell asleep (= =")...

I should've brought some sleeping pills and feed you those the minute the plane departs...

So anyways, reached Thailand around noon or so!

HELLO THAILAND! SAWADEEKAA!~

There were loads of people, we were halfway lining up when this lady in charge of organizing the line suddenly came up to us and escorted my pregnant cousin sis, May, into this area!

WOOT! Cool ne?
Of course, its probably because the Royal me is there, but to avoid attracting attention, so they escorted May first! Hahaha! I totally understand, no worries XD!~
Ehem ehem!
So anyways, because we are family, so we get to skipped the long line and tag in too (^^ )!~ Muahahahahaha!~

My Uncle picked us up, but anyways, take a look at this:

Those are the AIRPORT TAXIS!! OMG!
And for a moment, if i had not known Thailand taxis are Vios (cousin told me), i would've thought some BIG PEOPLE had arrived or something!

We went straight for lunch, meeting up with my beloved cousin PrettyKat!

Ah, I MISS HER SO MUCH (^^ )!

The food was REALLY GOOD - Japanese food -! But i was too hungry so i forgot the pics, sorry =P! Hahaha!

Then we went home, and spent the whole day at home, only going to Makro which was really near my cous house, and i slept after watching CSI on AXN! Muahahahahahahahahaa!~

Oh, and Thailand was:

FREAKING HOT!!

I sweat like mad, but the sun there, unlike ours, at least won't "burn" us! Its just REALLY HOT!



12 July 2007 Thursday
Went to CentralWorld today, the largest shopping mall in SE Asia!
The last time i came here it was the World Trade Center, and a lot smaller than it was now! Apparently, they combined three malls to transform it to the CentralWorld we see now!

AhKim brought us for lunch (Yummy Thai-version Char Koey Tiao!), then they left us to explore CentralWorld while they returned home! Its like any malls we go to honestly, no point following us around (I'm there anyways) so we just shopped and returned home before rush hour!

I wasn't really satisfy with this trip really, apart from because i didn't get to spend a lot of time exploring the whole of CentralWorld (which was i think is like, more than 6 storeys high!), i didn't see anything i like so i bought NOTHING (got lar, but very little its like "nothing"!)! There wasn't ample time anyways...

The only satisfying part was:
Zen's Dog DayCare and Spa (Zen is a department store inside CentralWorld)!!

They didn't allow photos (i stupidly went and ask), so i have to curi curi take!
Apparently, you can just drop your dog over for a nice spa (grooming) experience, or otherwise, you can just let them take care of your dog while you shop around!
The BEST PART is you get to choose any one room from the eight designs available for your dog to be in (not sure if you can see from this pic)!!
All the eight rooms have different "styles"! There's oriental style, old-english style, LOADS! It was all really very pretty!

And the coolest part... if you didn't like the idea of people taking care of you dog, you can even rent DOGGY PRAMS so you can put your dog in it and push it all around the department store while you shop! ISN'T THAT THE COOLEST?? How come Malaysia don't have anything like this? Hmph!

But argh, i forgot to check out the doggy carrier bags while i'm there!! It should be cheaper there, because dogs have a very luxurious life there, and they have a wide variety for EVERYTHING FOR DOGS! Plus, almost every department store there sell STUFFS FOR DOGS! Isn't that cool?

Oh, and another satisfying factor would have to be Mister Donut!
Again, i forgot pictures again =P! But here's a pic i nicked of Mr Donut's Japan Website!

This is no ordinary donut!

ONE BITE and you'll NEVER FORGET IT!

They used a different type of flour for it, so its very the "Q" and very nice to chew and eat! Yummy! May beat Big Apple Donuts anyday, hahahahaha!~



13 July 2007 Friday
PrettyKat purposely brought us (me and May, and her cousin brother from Taiwan, only; my mom and her friend stayed home) to SIAM SQUARE so i could source out all The Dog merchandises i have been looking for desperately!!
But unfortunately, there were none (just pens) =(... but i got some stuffs anyways, i'm happy with it (though still not utterly satisfied, the crazy shopper i can be abroad...)!

But i went bonkers at this one shop anyways, a lot of those stuffs i like (stationaries, books, etc)! Hahaha!

And then i went FURTHER BONKERS (and filled with LOVE)... because of this:

I LOVE MY BOYS!
They complete me XD!~ YAH!~
They are especially popular in Thailand see, muahahahahahahahaha!~
ps: And i love photoshop, hahaha!

Then we went to this mall, erm... i forgot the name, i think it was Siam Center?
Anyways, you know those signboards which point to toilets and all?
Forget those BORING ONES in Malaysia!

I LOVE the signboards here!

Cool ne? So adorable XD!~

ps: I should stop using "cool"! Now i sound thick... ugh...



14 July 2007 Saturday.
We went to CHATUCHAK (Or JJ Market)! Look at the subway tickets, cute!

I bought loads of stuffs! YEAH!
But because time was precious (again), me and May only walked the outer part around the whole market (we split into 3 groups; PrettyKat and her best friend, my mom and her friend, me and my cous)!

Part reason for only walking around the market was also because i didn't want to go inside the small lanes and lorongs because i'm afraid of the crowd, it'll be very hot!
I don't mind the sun really, i prefer the sun than stuffy places.
Plus it'll be difficult to exit once you enter and all, and i wasn't really in the mood to stuff with tons of people in those narrow lanes..

And by the time we walked one round all round JJ market, its already time to meet up! Mom and her friend found nothing, so we left adee (they were tired too), otherwise i'm sure we probably could stay longer and i can add more collection to my pile of junk back home? Hehehe!


At night was... PARADISE AND LOADS OF LOVE XD!~ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!~

Its ok if you don't understand! Hahahahahahahaha!~

Thanks loads to PrettyKat, who is really the best! She's such a diamond!~

And then...

15 July 2007 Sunday.

I'm complete.

Won't say anything more here, ㅋㅋㅋ!~

But argh, missed my chance to go to the aquarium at Siam Paragon, barnacles!! Its supposedly the biggest aquarium in SE ASIA! ARGH!

We go there next time ok? PLEASE!!

And i really like this restaurant, also at Siam Paragon!

Really nice!

And check out the McDs at Thailand (which has pork btw, and its really good!)!

AND THEY HAVE SUPERSIZE THERE!
This puny size girl infront of me ordered the SuperSize, and because Malaysia doesn't have that, i quickly curi curi (again) take a picture of it!

16 July 2007 Monday.
HOME HOME HOME.

The day to go home =(...

Our flights around 3pm i think? So we had only till around 12pm to reach home!

PrettyKat took me and May to Central (not to be mistaken with CentralWorld)!

Took a pic of the main road while waiting for Central to open (we came early), and DID YOU SPOT ANYTHING SPECIAL?

Also... hehe...

... I scared my cousins...

WHY?

BECAUSE WE FINALLY CAME TO A SHOP WHICH HAS THE DOG GOODS XD!~

It was the same shop i came before last time, and though this time there were less The Dog stuffs, STILL VERY SATISFIED!!
Bought loads of The Dog books, till my cousins had to put a stop to it, because its really TOO "MUCH"!~ Hahaha!

Sorry, can't help it, i go crazy seeing The Dog merchandises, hahaha!

I glee like a mad woman when i leave the shop, i even continued laughing like mad while we walked around the mall! Luckily my cousins know me, otherwise i would've been shoved to TR, guarantee, hahaha!

I almost went to buy Mister Donut again, but because we were running out of time, so didn't buy =(... haih... a bit the regret, but, what to do!

Then we went home, finish all the packing, and left to the airport for the flight back home!

I miss Thailand so much!!
How i wish i can go there as often as i can, kekeke!

Most probably all this missing now is because i didn't have enough time to walk around all the malls! And of course, a lot of stuffs i forgot to buy (>< )! And before the trip, we (Me and May) actually thought we have TOO MUCH TIME! NOT ENOUGH LAR!

Haih, i'm missing Thailand now! ARGH!

Sorry for this SO LONG-WINDED post! I actually have more pics on my camera, but a bit the lazy upload =P!

So anyways, i'll be coming up with a summarization of Thailand trip soon, just adding "random things" which didn't fit in this post anyways!

Hopefully there'll be loads of pics, and of course, hopefully it won't be as long winded as this one! HAHAHA!

PLEASE ANTICIPATE THE NEXT POST!!

Ok, i go sleep now, GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE!
