Double Valentine's Day

14/2/2014 was a double Valentine's day in which both the Western(情人节) and Chinese Valentine's Day (元宵节)coincidentally fall on the same day! 19 years per incidence so I thought it worth celebrating, right?

Truth be told, xt and I didn't have any fine dining like what we accidentally did last year..and there were no valentine's gifts for each other.

If I were to claim, I would say I bought two RM10 belt for him from Bangkok; while he bought me new phone case which worth RM10 as well. LOL, so practical, economical and awesome present.




p/s: There's a reason behind for being so thrifty [Secret project in progress sshhh]

So we got a list to do before we could actually 'celebrate'.
1.Visit Dr.Elizabeth for my skin.
2.Open a saving account in Public Bank.
3.Pick up my phone. (FYI I bought a new phone)
4. Sent Xt's printer for repairing.
5.Apply new Sim Card
6.Shop for a cheap screenpaper.


Oh ya, talk about Dr.Elizabeth...I was having a skin issue which is going worse.I thought it was warts/ calluses so my dad bought Duofilm (Salicylic acid, Lactic acid) for me to get rid of it. But it doesn't heal. Even if it's healed,it was still itchy so I would scratched it out of itchiness and it bleed and scarred once again.

My wound on elbow was existing for one whole year already.And similar things was happening whenever I got a wound;it does not heal but formed a hard scale or crusts which is unbearable itchy. I got 4 big infected area and a few smaller one. Finally decided to visit a doctor.

It wasn't warts.Discoid eczema is the name.I was then given topical steroids, antibiotics, body shampoo, antihistamine and iodine wash liquid. I would recommend this clinics as they are experienced dermatologists, but vice versa...cost will be you know what i mean.

Eczema (dermatitis) is a term used to describe conditions where there is inflammation of skin. Discoid eczema is one type which causes round or oval red patches of inflamed skin.A rash appears on the skin in the form of red coin shaped discs - plaques of eczema - which can affect different parts of the body, but primarily the lower legs, hands and forearms, and sometimes the trunk. It is extremely itchy and uncomfortable.  Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened, or scaly.The cause is uncertain but affected people tend to have generally dry skin.


It is healing right now, after so long it finally did.

Ooopsss, I was totally out of the topic again.So ya, xt brought me to Rainbow Cafe for dinner.=)Taste was not bad but the prime issue was cold food.




But who cares? Be able to spend a quality dinner with your loved one that matters the most.=P I really don't mind cheap meals because to me, love counteracted everything. Not necessary to burn a hole in the pockets;rather than spending pretty penny, I value quality talks and companies.


A polaroid again for this special day.
not this one, but pretty much the same❤ Probably should have cropped the unglamorous leftover salad






Afterwards, we were going to GuanYinDong nearby for mandarin orange tossing event :) I never been there but I thought it would be fun as Jing, Joey, Ele and Binz were coming to join in as well. Woahh, the whole area was crowded with vehicles and pedestrians.



Just a few mandarins float on the drain lol 

We browsed the entire GuanYinDong and visited a special corner which exhibited Buddha Relics.

Later we decided to move our way back into the cave as Jing was so anticipated to toss a mandarin. The whole place was so crowded,not even a room for the apple to fall. *wipes sweat *



Should have brought along some mandarins from home. Lesson learnt .___________.

Oppss, sorry..I did not mean to spurt the water on you. Is the mandarin itself........

Phone captured ,not bad mah

Look, who so funny float a guava around?


Fun night double-dating Xt and my babe girls LOL.

Someone really called me up straight after they picked up my mandarin lol. Sorry lah dude, I was not available, just tossed for fun.


Chapter 8:曼谷必吃必Shop必到还有哪些?

必Shop

当然是Platinum Fashion Mall!Chatuchak排第一,Platinum就是第二了,买两件以上就有批发价:)超便宜的衣服鞋子,买到笑。


必吃

曼谷最好吃的一家Somtam Nua 5,位于Siam Square Soi 5。这一餐真的好吃到舔完五根手指。我们逛好Platinum Fashion Mall 过后直接坐Tuk Tuk过来的.Tuk Tuk四个人150B(杀价后)。年轻的司机比我们大一年罢了,还猜中我们的岁数!我们请他直接带我们到Soi 5,避免走冤枉路。



如果搭BTS,从Siam BTS (E4)找到这一间银行,直走进去,3分钟就是Som Tam Nua。

他直接载我们到Mango Tango前面。Mango Tango是甜品,我们要找正餐!Som Tam Nua就在mango tango斜对面而已。店前面under construction。


Som Tam Nua的Awards!

吃过后就会知道是名副其实。这一餐是我回来马来西亚后经常会挂念的,因为真系‘好正’啊!

把餐单上所有有星星的都叫过来吧!

Northeast Style Spicy Soup with Pork Bon 105b 好喝好喝 

Fried Thai Rice (Flour Noodle) 98b

Hot and Spicy Crispy Fish 105b

Fried Chicken 130b

Thai Papaya Mix Salad 75b

Papaya Salad是这里的招牌菜,不过很辣。下次叫普通Papaya Mix Salad可能更好吃。


 配上 椰子 真的很棒


必到

Sky Lounge是点名必到的。就算不喝酒,光是欣赏曼谷夜景就很爽。无奈我们被照片骗了,应该要去大家都说好的 Red Sky Bar或 Sirocco...我们找资料时发现这家在Muse Hotel的Speaks Easy还不错,照片也很漂亮,价钱又亲民。真的是照‘骗’...真的有点失望T.T

如果想要比较安静的空间说说话,谈谈情可以来这里;可是如果是想大开眼界,看漂亮的曼谷夜景,到Sirocco会比较好,真的。







照片里没有张晶晶是因为:她处于半醉状态。她点了一杯Long Island结果很难喝,我offered她我的Sparkling Water给她拿来mix,结果她一下子灌了整杯Long Island。

不会喝酒的还是点cola吧。不用冒险又好喝~!


p/s:好想念曼谷的食物 

Post CNY

Just can't believe another new semester is going to start off tomorrow. My heart is still scattered here and there, part of it immersed in nostalgia of Bangkok Trip, some still swinging in CNY mood, others are still lazily stumbled on the bed.

CNY is my favourite festival. Don't you see all good things are coming and arriving with CNY, angpausss, feasts, gatherings, friends and family!

As usual, there were a lot of gatherings in CNY with families and friends.This year I spent most of the time with my BFFs. I went out almost every days and nights except for a day which I was not feeling well, but in all those days I hanged out, I was 100% with xt, 70% with my beloved gang. What a scenario?! We planned everyday's itinerary together, not forgetting one another; too good to have this bunch of besties ILY and you know who you are!! 

p/s: Sorry for bothering others who may be green in envy. We know it might be too much, and who cares, friendship is in the air!

Chor Yat.  Gosh, already bounded to one another in the very beginning of CNY. 



Reunion dinner was in uncle's house this year :) Loads of mouth-watering dishes as always. 

Steamboat 4 times throughout the whole CNY! 

Chor Yi: Gathering in Pguin's house.




Chor Sum:High school classmates annual reunion. This year we managed to get more people involved. New games were introduced this year--'Cheats' (We were so addicted to it during the stay of Bangkok) and all-time-favourite 'Killer' games were still on show! Yeay, I managed to win a game this year =P

the girls.Arranged according to seats.





Precelebrated Jojo's bday with her since she would back in Sabah in end of Feb and as usual, we are not going to have 29th Feb this year...Sorry babe. 


So cute babeh!



Lighting Sky lattern was an anticipated event for the family.The lattern was cast with overloaded written wishes; lighting it up and watching it clumsily floated off into the night sky successfully was such a huge joy to all of us. Everyone shouted 'oohhh' and 'aahhh' seeing their dreams took a flight in the sky!:))

Expert xt was helping out, so did my cousin sister

Wish upon a lattern. Grant our wishes please :)

Watched 'The journey' with xt. I love this local firm a lot! Foodie with her food again.Nomnomnomm.
*phew* Hair发啊




Another day spent with the crazy gang. Woohoo, mahjong and Fun Run, and of course pattern camwhore!


Chor 15, the last day of CNY :D Having a feast with family and guests :)


Happy 'Niegh' Year once again!
