14th Sept 2006
Yay! I woke up to Bangkok! Not in S'pore anymore. Far far away from my office and my boss. We had a sumptous breakfast. We wanted to eat till we r really full, n have a light snack for a late lunch instead. In this way, we can:
1. have more time to shop
2. save more money for shopping n nice sumptous dinners
3. Cut down on overall food intake so that we wun put on weight during our holiday!
After breakfast, a well-established tailor came to our hotel to pick us up to their shop. Lotsa ppl recommended tailoring at Bkk coz the prices r much cheaper compared to S'pore. So I thot i shud give it a try. At least tailored clothes will fit me nicely in the design i want. Well, n so i thot. My fren recommended this tailor as they r supposed to be pretty gd n has a 24 hr factory. The hotel was so nice to call them for us! This tailor provides transport n fetches all itz customers to and fro from their shop. But! Their prices r slightly higher than those normal tailors that can be found along the streets.
Anyway, i realli regret tailoring my clothes in Bkk. No matter how good the tailor is, it sucks! Coz the tailors there do not know anything about FASHION! They only know how to sew STANDARD stuff. I showed them pictures of the clothes i wanna tailor. But it all turned out wrong after i went for fitting the next day. More details in my next chapter. Anyway i tailored 2 pants, 1 skirt n 1 blouse. Wanted to tailor a dress but it was too expensive. These 4 items cost me abt SGD $260 in all.
Next was shopping at Central area such as Platinum Mall, Gaysorn Plaza, Central World, Bkk Bazaar n Big C.
Baby trying on a pair of berms under sarong skirt! Haha! Funny right?!! He looks like an obasan!
Check out the top left pic. That's the spokesperson for their OSim Uzap. She can't even compare to our Fiona Xie! Eeks! So NOT pretty. Anyway they also had a Guy Laroche clothes boutique at Central Worold. But Guy Laroche clothes r so so auntie! I walked in...n walked out again within a few secs.
At night, we went to Baiyoke Sky hotel for dinner! We alry made prior reservations from S'pore. Baiyoke Sky hotel is the tallest building in Bkk city. N we went to eat at the restaurant on the 77th flr! It was a yummy international buffet dinner!
After dinner, we went up to some gallery on the 79th flr where we can see the view thru the full panel glass windows that enveloped the whole storey.
Den we went up to their open-air 360degress rotating obeservatory deck right to the top of the building on the 83rd flr! Wow! It was really cold being so high up! I felt like i could reach almost reach the sky! But Baby was so scared! He held on to the railing for his dear life as the travellator rotated so that we can catch the full view of Bangkok's skyline. So romantic!
We wanted to go to Bo Bae Market after that. But we cudnt find the place n it was v late alry. So we went back to our hotel! More shopping the next day!Following chapters to come ...stay tuned!
