Special Moments... TQ!!!

It's been some time already since I last blog on something different, and this long too. Well it is different due to the fact that lately everyone is into shopping mode, driving holes into their pockets & purses. It's all because of the festive sales in shopping centres and warehouse sales. Sometimes, it's really worth buying stuff during such time when there are further markdowns and discounts given!

Thought of getting Frag a wallet as his current one is wore off and looked pitiful in its bad state. And he doesn't bear to change as it is sentimental to him, I doubt. Lol! Thus, l decided to give him an early birthday surprise by getting a nice leather wallet from Ted Baker for a good price.

At first I was thinking, should I keep it till his birthday next month? But why should I keep it till next month, cant I just get him another surprise when the time comes. So I hid it inside his wardrobe for surprise. Felt glad he loved it very much, no need for exchange! Was very lucky as the salesperson said the wallet is quite limited as it's a new arrival and only one in every Ted Baker outlets. Phew, now that's worth it!

As for me, I received a surprise too when I was given this present, a small little clutch for my birthday. This particular brand, I couldn't bear to use it as I find it pricey and exclusive for my liking, would rather keep it for collection. Happiness suddenly poured in as I have been receiving numerous birthday messages from friends and family members back home! Really really appreciate that alot...

Speaking on gadgets, I have been using the LG KF300 phone for the past 2 weeks, seriously it's a nice cool phone with basic features, just what I need in a phone. Haha! I love the functions inside it and happy with everything this phone offers~ Definitely a big improvement by LG and also worth the value. What's most important is I felt very comfortable using it!

Thanks to you, Daling and everyone! I felt really really grateful for and deeply appreciate for what is being done and given for me in life at the moment.

Mid Year Sales!

The popular sales has begun earlier in all shopping centers since middle of May~! The shopping spree is so heavy and everyone is out to perform their shopping 'duties', especially during the lovely weekend. Well, SALES is really a word that makes people open their eyes and excite them whenever they heard of it, okay, especially for ladies!

Speaking of our moment, we went to the Isetan Pre-Sales (exclusively for members) in KLCC last week for some shopping action. Once we got there, Isetan was so horribly crowded even though it's early in the morning!

Many of the stuff there is really worth buying as its on sale for cheap and reasonable price. You'll find swarm of people - men and women shopping for items like shoes, clothings, accessories, etc. Additional discounts will be given specially for members only.

The best thing is that we bought 2 Casio watches on that day! We have been eyeing for couple watches for quite sometime. Finally, we decided to bring Mr G-Shock and Ms Baby-G home with a nice 50% discount each. Really worth getting them as it is a good offer!

Bangkok Invasion - Episode II

Sawadee krap-krapp-krappp...

After some serious hardcore wallet-busting shopping on our first two days in the Land of Transvestites Coconuts Smiles aka Bangkok, Team F&F decided to slow down things and explore further upon Saladaeng area in search for some good food on the 3rd day.

There are street food stalls everywhere within our hotel area selling a huge variety of street food, kind of similar to the ones found in a local night market here, but at a much cheaper price. Really ''peng-leng-jeng'' I'd say. Another thing, pork can be found almost everywhere! Woot!!

Had our brunch here at the HONGMIN Restaurant, serves Chinese-style food.


Decided to try to dim sum, so Feebz's put in charge of ordering.


Worn-out hungry soldier waiting, he survived the shopping massacre too!


The place's well decorated, giving us the Zen feeling. Very nice ambiance.


You've to try the orange (or citrus) juice whenever you're in BKK. The taste's great. Easily be found everywhere, usually selling at a price of 20 baht per bottle.


Tried the gigantic fried 'wu gok'! Very crispy and tons of yams inside. One is enough to stuff you full.


'Char Siu Paus', didnt find it nice as the inside seems to be half-done and there isnt any gravy at all. Definitely no match for the local paus back here!

After trying out a couple plates of dim sums, we decided to try one of the dishes there. Here's Pork Ribs Kuey Teow Noodles - very tasty.

Thai Ronalds here pray very hard occasionally, regretted that I didnt smuggle some McPorks back home.

Shopping mission began... continued walking around in MBK complex.


Got our Thai decorations / handicrafts here. Price's cheap provided if you buy huge quantity and bargain with the sellers well. Spent quite some time here, and our pockets got burned.

Outside MBK Centre, another shopping haven for the ladies.

While she's busy shopping, I'm busy snapping random photographs.


Sial Siam Paragorn Shopping Mall, Asia's largest. Didnt spend much time there as it's all expensive branded stuffs, similar to Pavilion KL. Under Water World's there. Saw a magic show being performed there though.

For our dinner in the evening, we managed to find a restaurant serving authentic Thai food. Quite crowded. All hail Banana Leaf Restaurant!

Two hungry souls waiting for food.


Thai Pandan Chicken - taste good, smells aromatic.

Seafood Otak-otak - rich with prawn and fish meats. The taste's not bad.

Seafood Tom Yum Goong - uber tasty, even though we requested the Chef to cook it less spicy. Best thing we ever had in Thailand. Yum Goong...

Yum Goong... after dinner we walked around & we saw this! Yum Saap betul!

Return of the Dark Lord, Darth Shopper. Night shopping was fun!


MBK during the night time. Traffic's kinda congested as well.

We even saw a group of Britney Spears wannabes performing on the street on our way back. Apparently a group of students were doing a MV there.

Wokies, next batch of photos will be coming up within a couple of days. We found that Bangkok's nightlife was quite lively, if only we went and visit A-Go-Go bars and clubs that night.

Bangkok Invasion - Episode 1

Sawatdeekap....

Well since the cool place we stayed in Saladaeng, Bangkok was mentioned previously, I'll be posting the rest of our holiday adventure. A couple of words to sum up our much awaited trip for this year - awesome+enjoyable. There's never a dull moment when it comes to Bangkok.

Nearby our hotel were areas filled with shopping complex, markets, restaurants, entertainment outlets, bars, etc. which is easily accessible via Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) aka skytrain. Drop the 'tuk-tuks' and taxis if you wanna save time, the traffic's bad during the evenings.

We find that Bangkok’s people are very hospitable, an integral part of Thai culture... I guess. Most things there can be done with a smile and a laugh, especially important if you are a tourist there and don’t speak Thai. Oh yeah, the calculator's an essential tool, if you plan to do some hardcore shopping like her both of us.

Chilling out in LCCT, filling up before the battle. Got there very early.


Boarded the Manchester United A320 plane & I felt like a champion.


We arrived at the Suvarnabhumi Airport at night, no match for KLIA.


We prepared ourselves for Chatuchak Weekend Market early in the next morning. It's only open during weekends and we were lucky.


To get there, we took the BTS from Saladaeng & stop at Mo Chit station. Using the skytrain's the best and quickest way to get to places in Bangkok. 15THB up to 40THB per trip, depending on zones. Yes, it's air-conditioned!


Freaking huge, with more than 15k stalls inside, it'll take the whole day to walk as you'll find all kinds of stuff ranging from clothings to decos here.


Truly a shopping haven, you can shop till you drop.


Shoes & sandals everywhere... we bought a few pairs back.


And hangbags... this little bag turned itself up to Feebz. Along with a pair of nice shoes, we paid 350 THB. Cheap bargain.


Tons of fashion clothings, and she couldnt stop smiling as we go on. Ladies would love shopping here as the choices are wide & it's CHEAP - if you negotiate well.


Variety of food & drinks sold here. There's a nice crowded noodle chicken shop around which is a must try - I forgot where. We had to drink non-stop to kept ourselves hydrated!


Legs were aching by the time it's late noon, but the battle for shopping still continues. Buggy service's provided for free.


Feebz & Frag! The things on the left arent ours wokay...


And the battle continues, this time we raided some ladies accessories.


We didn't get this. Would be great to hide my face in one of these. Muahaha!


Pic-tar time! It got more humid as we went on.


We saw a possessed 'woman' and a slim Digiman on the street on the way back. Marketing & ads sure is done crazily everywhere.


Traffic's starting to get congested, we took the skytrain back to Saladaeng.


We spent quite some money getting stuff from the market, but it was worth while. It's best to bring a backpack along just in case.

Well we didn't finished walking some areas of the market as it was THIS huge. However, we experienced the mingle with the crowds, sweat it all out and had fun in the Biggest Weekend Market. And there are holes appearing on our pockets already. Would definitely visit this place again if we are to go to shopping in Bangkok again.
