My First YOLO Trip

SINGAPORE - BANGKOK

So.. I did the most YOLO thing which was to book flights the night before and flew off the very next morning. HAHA

* I've got a disclaimer to make to the 10 of you who texted me and asked me if this was my solo trip or who I'm traveling with etc..

** No, I'm not traveling alone but it's inconvenient to name out his/her name so I'm just gonna call my travel partner, TP.



Day 1 - 14th October 2014


Thank you mummy for sending me to the airport :) I love you and am missing you while I'm typing this now.

TP and I will be in BKK for 5 days 4 nights and it's been pretty fun so far. Hehe


Sian got photobomb by some stranger. Confirm Thai boy. LOL

I flew by Thai Airways because I really can't stand budget airlines and full flights serve fairly decent food and (did you know?) unlimited alcohol if you ask for it uh!


Plus you have entertainment on board. I was watching I Am Number 4 and Alex Pettyfer is still as hot as I remembered him to be. HEH



Cotton candy in the sky


Another Thai boy photobomb me. SIAN. SAWATDEEKAH ERRBODY. Suvarnabhumi international airport babeh~


I just had to crop out that rude photobomber hahaha.

OMG I THINK I CHOSE THE BEST HOTEL EVER. Fantastic service and the rooms are beautiful.

Expedia fucked us up because they caused the miscommuniation between us and the hotel.

Our original room:






Which I think was actually not too bad but it's not what I paid for. So I called the reception and asked for the change of rooms.

Then yada yada yada cannot change blablabla expedia's fault bleh. But the front desk staff was super nice to offer us A FREE UPGRADE + BREAKFAST INCLUDED.

Swee la our room now:




Rainfall shower


The bathtub we fought for hehe



Act one artsy fartsy



My bui bui tummy haha


Then I worked a little (yes even on a trip) before we went gai gai


Pat Pong Night Market (nearest bts Sala Daeng)





Dinner was at this restaurant I ate 3 years back. My TP said it was a really goood recommendation. Yay





Serves the best representation of what Pad Thai should taste like


Tom Yum Goong? One word: Shiok


Tom Yum Fried Rice was super appetizing *nomnomnom*


We wanted to pamper ourselves and this parlour seemed the least dodgy to us



Cannot wait lehhh come and gimme my foot massage thanks



I fell asleep after they made the chair like a bed. She was so good I gave her a tip. SGD$10 for an hour foot massage I think it's pretty worth it.

So the night was pretty okay until we decided to really YOLO and watch the legendary Ping Pong Show. I really don't know if I regretted my decision or not. But I have to admit it was a once in a lifetime thing and I'll never ever ever ever do it again, ever. Ever.

- no pictures allowed-

IT WAS SUCH A SCAM. Google was right afterall. They said there was no entrance fee and all you needed to do was pay for your drinks. We ordered 2 Singha beers at THB100 = SGD4 each and my dear TP being such a nice person treated 2 of the cons Coke.

Supposed total bill: SGD$16 right?
But no, when the bill came it was: SGD$72. YES SEVENTY TWO FUCKING DOLLARS.

We argued that we got cheated but the tranny was being so fierce it ended up heated and THEY SPLASHED WATER AT ME (WHATTHEFUCK) EVEN AFTER WE PAID cause we told the angmohs beside us that it was a scam.

I was feeling so sore and angst that we got scammed but I told myself okay fine here's how the money should have been spent so that I can make myself feel better:

4 shows: Pussy Smoking, Pussy Ping Pong, Pussy Rainbow and Pussy Shooting Darts

So if in Singapore 1 movie would have cost us $8 so 4 movies = $32 per person x 2 pax = $64

Remaining $72 - $64 = $8
$8 / 4 drinks = $2 per drink

OKAY FINE I FEEL BETTER ALREADY :'(

And cause I've got splashed water by that bitch, I needed to have a therapeutic bath haha:





I know it looks like I'm narcissistic and took lots of photos of myself but I actually took many photos of my TP. Just cannot upload only..



Day 2 - 15th October 2014


Terminal 21 (nearest bts Asok)


If I have to work in a mall I'll choose to work here simply because the uniforms are too cool la omg. The counter staff girls are in air-stewardess uniforms uh.


Missed your flight?

Ate at their version of Thai Express, but not restaurant style, more like food court style:


Pad Thai (again, all day err day) HAHA


Garlic Stir Fried Pork yummeh


Tom Yum Goong non spicy I likey


I had to have my bubble tea fix


Proof that I didn't edit my photos at all


San Francisco themed


Every level is a different country theme and that says a lot about their toilets too:


Nautical themed toilet for Boston level I think


And of course they have the London/UK theme


I cannot wait to see the real mustache men in real life


Their escalators are so cool. If you're going upwards, it says 'Arrival Hall -specifies country-'. Vice versa if you're going downwards, it says 'Departure Hall -specifies country-'.


My face so cock. HAHAHAHA


My favourite level, JAPAN. Konichiwa


Basement was selling crepes. Reminded me of Harajuku so badly :'(


Paris duh


Tao Kae Noi Heaven

Asiatique Riverside Mall (nearest bts Saphan Taksin, then take the shuffle boat from Sathorn Pier)



Pretty but so dark and I lazy to edit uh


Seasick like power only


THE AIRCONDITIONED CHATUCHAK



So so sooo clean, even their toilets are airconditioned


If only you can see the little lamps hanging on the trees. So magical




So romantic the backdrop *spams*



Randomly chanced upon Bocha Icecream stall, really really really yummy

- We went for the 4D-max ride, forgot to take pictures -

It's time for massage again guys. This time head, neck and shoulders for $16 per pax:


FUCKING PAINFUL, CAN FIGHT WITH THE MASSAGE I HAD IN BALI. TMD I FELT LIKE I WENT FOR WAR.. Gave tips also damn not shiok uh please


Starting still happy happy pose pose..


I'm amazed I still have hair left on my head..


4 words: SMLJ




This shop is sooo cute hahaha


Chang beer mascot? HAHA

Dinner at one of the many tze char stalls:



Sweet and Sour Chicken


Fried Eggs with Prawns


Tom Yum Goong FTW


Balek Kampong. We went back to the hotel, I did somemore work and had an early night rest.



Day 3 - 16th October 2014


FINALLY WE MANAGED TO WAKE UP FOR BREAKFAST WTF WE REALLY DAMN PIG I CANNOT EVEN. BUT WAH THE AMBIENCE REALLY UP THERE:


Like Singapore's cafe hopping style right?








We went for an afternoon swim and let me show you guys around my hotel:


Borisud Pure Spa


MFitness




INFINITY POOL UH MAI SIAO SIAO


Pool bar and hot angmoh's butt

I'm wearing the monokini that I just bought from Asiatique last night:









Showered and went gai gai afterwards


Siam Paragon (nearest bts Siam)



Mandatory tourist shots


I thought this was pretty awesome as I was walking and eating my Krispy Kreme. HAHA


Siam Square (nearest bts Siam)


My favourite streets of shops, alleys after alleys, turns after turns, baht after baht LOL

OH OH OH MY FAVOURITE THAI RESTAURANT EVEN AFTER 3 YEARS I ALWAYS GO BACK. Whoever I bring there, will always walk out saying the food is THE BEST:




Love the ambience


Look here. Day light now. Our round 1 of Ban Khun Mae.



Tested and proven. The best mango sticky rice. I'm running out of adjectives here. *4 thumbs up*



Pineapple Fried Rice *3 thumbs up*


Pad Thai *3 thumbs up*


Tom Yum Goong *4 thumbs up*


That's our round 1 for now



Then we went gai gai and I did gel manicure. VIP SIOL


Less than SGD$20 for gel manicure bodoh

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT I DO EVERYDAY. MASSAGE MASSAGE AND MASSAGE ONLY. 


CHANG'S FOOT MASSAGE. GUESS WHO I SAW? LEE TENG HAHAHAHA CHANNEL U THAT HOST Y'KNOW? Although he not really famous la but still seeing a familiar face. Hahaha.





Aroma Therapy massage. I mean obviously cannot fight with the one I had in Krabi but it's like 1/5 of the price. Worth it uh. IT WAS SO GOOD I GAVE TIPS ALSO FEELING SHIOK HEHE

Round 2 of Ban Khun Mae:


Night time and we weren't really hungry


Feeling so refreshed after the massage and yay best dessert ever:


ORGASSS HAHA

We slowly made our way back to our hotel and my TP was helping me with my workload (cause I work a little every night). So so so thankful for my TP. Lots of love babe <3

Ps: TP and I are super duper uper cute. We have a mini fashion runway every night in our hotel room with what we bought that day. HAHA



But here's a mini sneak peak of my favourite buy so far!

PSS: I'M SO EXCITED TO MEET OTHER FRIENDS TOMRROW AT MBK, BUT FIRST YUEN GAH WAI NEEDS TO STOP ASKING ME TO LEAVE MY HOTEL FOR SUPPER WITH HIM SO THAT MY TP AND I CAN SLEEP NOW AND WAKE UP IN TIME FOR BREAKFAST. HAHAHA BUT REALLY HUNGRY UH



Day 4 - 17th October 2014


YAY WE MADE IT FOR BREAKFAST AGAIN


MBK (nearest bts National Stadium)

We went to MBK to meet Gah Wai and his friends and OMG, they were so much fun.


Jocelyn kept saying this was damn good but we didn't try in the end. However, we had one of the yummiest Beef Ball Noodle Soup:




This looks like nothing but my friends, this is da bomb. The guys also agreed that this was yummeh.

Gah Wai, Julian and Jian Rong in BKK:





Today I can safely say when guys bitch, they bitch better than girls and they really don't give chance at all. TSK

As you all know, massage for me is an all day errday thing. So we went for clean massage after (must specify HAHAHAHA). I did Aroma Therapy massage again cause it's that good. The weather was sooo hot they just kept asking, 'which one can bathe, which one can bathe?' LOL.



My primary school friend. Hahaha we really went a long way but nothing bonded us more than today.


And since it's just across the street, Ban Khun Mae round 3. The guys loooved it so much. AIYAH I'm an awesome tour guide what can I say. *flips hair* We wanted to try Sontum but ohwell..


Platinum Mall (nearest bts Siam or Chit Lom)

My TP and I went to Platinum Mall after seperating from the boys and I didn't know it closes at like what, 8pm? It says 10pm online, but I should have known since I've been there thrice already..

We took a Tuk-tuk there cause google maps told us it would be a 16mins walk. Siao uh please. But the jam even more cray. 15 mins just stationary is no joke serious.




Even though I have a driving license, I don't think I'll ever have the balls (guts cause I'm a lady haha) to drive in BKK. I know I quite YOLO but this is a whole new level of committing suicide.


Of all my shopping trips, I bought the most and paid the least here. LITERALLY GRAB AND GO IN A MINUTE FOR ALL SHOPS HAHA. 


It's a pity that within 45mins all the shops started closing already. I'm just gonna camp here during my next BKK trip. Wasted :(



This angle not fat also look fat la HAHA. Anyway, the Thais use the river as a form of transport too. I'm actually in love with their BTS and MRT. Cheap and efficient.

We made our way back to the hotel to explore The Roof@38th Bar:




Breathtaking view



Soi mak mak

Following photos were really dark, I tried using vscocam to edit but look at how cui the quality is. Anybody knows how to save this special moment for me?





I wish I can salvage the photos I've taken on the rooftop. Somebody teach me how to pretty please?

The place where we eat our international breakfast is also a bar at night:





Then suddenly the boys messaged me and asked if I wanted to club. I've never been to a Siam Diu before and it was our last night.. AIYAH WANT YOLO JUST YOLO ALL THE WAY ONLY.


Club Insanity Bangkok (Sukhumvit area)

We cabbed down in slippers and shorts with no IC but apparently got money you considered damn big already la. HAHA I HAD SOOO MUCH FUN OMG.

Took a lot of pictures with my TP but I'll have to exclude them for now:


Siam Bu





I'm glad you jio me la bro, you best.

Midnight cab is just SGD$4. WTF. Anyway I took care of my TP the whole night, we vomited like cray cray and woke up with a massive terrible (spam adjectives for tokgong jialat) hangover.



Day 5 - 18th October 2014

OMG I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

We missed breakfast, checked out at 12pm, left our luggage at the concierge and rushed to Chatuchak.


Chatuchak (nearest bts Mo Chit)


I was so hungry I just bought something to munch first. It tasted great until I saw a long strand of hair in my waffles. YUCK.




We walked down the streets aimlessly. I tell you, I'm usually very good with directions and it's not my first time here but I WAS FEELING SO LOST. We were lost. Both of us were having a really bad hangover and we just wanted to puke and/or sleep.


I ate at this fat chef's place last year. Let's just say the food still tasted pretty damn good.


Om nom nom nom 


Okay cooled down, time to brave the war again..


I couldn't find the exact stall I fell in love with but we just made do with this:


It was okay, but sorry it looks so botak. HAHA. When you're having a bad hangover, the last thing you need is the fucked up weather and exotic food combined.


I think I survived all thanks to TP's 风油. I spammed like no tomorrow. It was hotter than I remembered and so fucking stuffy and claustro. I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT, BATHE AND SLEEP.


With a dream catcher THIS size, I'm sure you won't have nightmares for at least 10 years. LOL



The weather really I cannot tank. My entire back was dripping with perspiration, my nose bled and I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm amazed I actually look human in pictures.


Love the colourssss. This shop got aircon uh. Shiok. Okay here's the shocker: THIS ENTIRE TRIP, I DIDN'T BUY MORE THAN 10 THINGS. I KNOW RIGHT. But it's okay, I've enjoyed sooo many massages in the past few days. It was a good trip.



Hopped onto a Tuk-tuk and rushed back to our hotel. WE WERE SO LATE WTF. The moment I reached the hotel, we jumped into a taxi with our luggage and fuck, traffic jam. CONFIRM LATE THIS TIME OMG.



WE MADE IT. WE DIDN'T MISS OUR FLIGHT. OMG HEART ATTACK I TELL YOU. But the scariest was almost missing my flight from Bali. Right, Jocelyn and Jdy? HAHA BY SECONDS.


Yayyy, boarding plane in a bit x
Ps: still in chatuchak's drenched clothes and tuk-tuk knotted hair. I look like a complete utter mess.


Cause Sarah Always Gets The Window Seat. Always.


I cried at the last part of Wreck-It Ralph. Yeah judge all you want uh wahlao. It's very touching what, no?
Oh, loved the food on board this time. Yummeh


Anddd.. I'm home. I'm glad to be back. I love Singapore *sings national anthem, chants pledge and waves flag* HAHA.

Overall, I had a really really wonderful trip. The biggest thank you to my TP for taking care of me, making sure my safety is priority and for this memorable holiday. Love you babe <3
