Chatuchauk weekend market
Took the BTS from Phrom Phong station to Mo Chit station and the market is just below the platform. I didn't know which station to alight at but the staff at the BTS station counter kindly helped me with that. It's a bit further with about 5-7 stops and costs 42thb but the train is pretty fast so it took about 10minutes.
Everything is so cheap there! They have a lot of stuff going for 150thb or 200thb! I didn't even have to haggle! Most of the shopkeepers were pretty willing to lower the prices for a little as well, especially if i wanted to buy more than one item. The only downside was that it was super super hot and stuffy with the crowd, i kept wanting to get drinks! Didn't grab as much small bites as i intended to. :/

| 40-50thb |
Union mall
Took a tuktuk to Union mall because we're lazy to walk back to the train station. Since Union mall is only one train stop away, figured a tuktuk would be pretty cheap too. Don't get cheated! Some of the tuktuk drivers quote ridiculous prices because they know we're tourists, like 300thb to go from Chatuchauk to Union mall! Ridiculous! The train ride would have cost less than 20thb! Was only willing to pay 50thb actually, but the driver refused because it was the time where traffic was pretty bad and so, we got a ride for 70thb.
Got my crepe with my favourite toppings, banana~! HAHA All my wraps or crepes, i always order banana. LOL Never get sick of it! Never ever! :P Can't remember how much it cost. The bubble tea is not bad too, just that it's really really sweet. But it's probably because we couldn't communicate what we want as well. Language barrier. Don't know how much this costs as well, but probably less than 100thb.
Most of the people kept speaking Thai to me and i just nod my head, as though i can understand what they're saying, but in fact, i really have no idea. Probably something about welcome to my shop, please feel free to look around, *points to new arrivals* explains to me those are new, and when i touch a certain piece of clothing *points to other colours that are also available*. And i think i kind of get what they want to say when they point. Usually i prefer to not say anything so they won't immediately know that I'm not local and quote me a very high price. :X But i think it's pretty obvious though that I'm not local! LOL Most of the clothes are around 200-400thb, with some of the shopkeepers willing to lower the price for you by a little.
And did my nails! Those are duckies by the way. The manicurist has good skills! The details were pretty good, for 400thb! And she was quite fast as well, took about 30-45minutes!
And because i shopped till most of the shops are closed, what's left for dinner was KFC or A&W. Got KFC! No idea how much the meal was. :/
Guess we weren't filling very full or satisfied, so we got egg prata on the way back to the hotel! Only 30-40thb! It's soooo yummy with the carnation milk on it! I realised that there are alot of Thai food with carnation milk in it. Oh, and there are alot of street food along the road from Asok BTS to Citrus 22.
Went back to the hotel to enjoy a bubble bath soak with beer and maggie mee. I ate sooo much! Fatty! HAHA :D Brought my mask along too so my skin can relax after a tiring day of shopping. HAHA~
Went for brunch at Bistro Du Vin.
The 3 course meal is pretty cheap for french food though not very savoury. An appetiser, a main course, dessert and tea. The place was a tad noisy with too much chatter. Ordered ravioli with foie gras, confit de canard, tea, chocolate tarte tartin or something, quiche with broccoli and bacon☻ and creme brulee☻.
Attended The Royal Dance Off for the first time
I was very inspired by the male soloists. Their strength is amazing, and the quality of their movements. When it was strong, it hit enough, when it was soft, it flowed. Though most of the choreography were rather similar, but they really push me to want to be better. The female soloists were okay, only a few caught my eye. The group items were so-so as well. Totally in love with the 2 groups of trios. They were all in sync with each other and their movements were really clean with strong and good technique. ☻
Dinner before that. Sushi!
Haven't seen this girl for months and now she's back from the US~☻
Nori, rice, chicken floss, honey yuzu, prawns, tamago, mushroom, pickled cucumber, something and roast beef.
Nori, brown rice, teriyaki, tamago, mushroom, soft shell crab, avocado, and not sure what else are in there.
Favourite Astons before i fly off~
Kay bye~

we have the same frequency

The best of friends,can change a frown into a smile when you feel down.
The best of friends, will understand your little trials and lend a hand.
The best of friends, will always share your secret dreams because they care.
The best of friends worth more than gold and give all the love a heart can hold. - Jill
One day,during a room warming, a group of 5 crazy girls decided to create a blog to pen down our daily life and thoughts individually. Why five fingers you may ask. The reason is because, one day while taking a group shot infront of a mirror, we noticed our height resembles the fingers. ( Lame i know but wdv )Our group name changed for quite a number of times alr, we originated from SPGS (not sarongpartygirls hor) So anyway, this blog will be updated by daily basis accordingly to our "positions"
The thumb, Gene will be blogging on Monday. Index finger, Xiuwen (axw) on Tuesday. Middle finger(so crude LOL), Huimin (heemii) on Wed. Ring finger, Candice on Thurs and lastly our pinky Carmen on fri.
So yeah, do check us out on a daily basis! Cheers! :)
