Thailand Trip 11-11-05 (Friday)

Started the day at bout 8am bright and early.

Left for my dad's office with him. Need to get to the office to change money. No money, no talk lor, that's how this world works. Hanged around office for awhile. Played with my daddy's arowana which we helped "smuggled" to Thailand the previous trip. :D (ssshhhhhhh ...... It's a secret)

Anyways ...... got my cuz Pi Bom to send us to Emporium to catch Wallace & Gromit Movie. (Yeeeaaayyyy!!!!! The show has not started in Singapore yet! HA!)

Emporium




















Sadly we got into a jam and he got disorientated. Took the wrong turn and we over shot the shopping centre. Still had to take the train which was only 1 friggin stop! Choice of theatre: SF Cinema City. Caught the 12.30pm session. But before that, had a bite had Salon De'L Oriental (Cafe opened by Oriental Hotel i think). They sell fantastic cookies and cakes! Yums! Always aim to eat there once when i'm there :p. Pat had Chicken Quiche and i has Spanich Quiche, washed it down with a cafe latte and long black

After the show, we headed down to our usual Thai massage haunt. Kornwan Thai Massage. It's situated at 18/13 Sukhumvit Road Soi 22. Take the BTS to Phrom Phong station and walk towards your left. You should see Soi 22. Plenty of Ang Mohs there. The skills are very good. 220 baht. Please tip the masseur hor. They have very low pay and depends mostly on tips. That would apply to any waiter and waiteress in Thailand as well. Your kindness is much appreciated.

Headed to the four faced buddha. Took a train down to Chit Lom Station which is only a stone throw away from the shrine. As usual, it's packed with tourists. ESPECIALLY HONGKONGERS. The procedure to pray the buddha? You pray from the main side and move clock-wise. Lighting a candle at the first side then placing a small flower wreath with 3 joss sticks as you go.

Daddy dearest finally called and wanted to meet us for dinner with 2 of his friends. Felt sorry for him, having to join in the jam for a whole bladdy hour before finally picking us up from Emporium. Headed to this seafood restaurant. Dad order enough food for 8 people even though there were only 5 of us. Fish maw soup, fish head steamboat, oyster egg omelette, stir-fry sliced fish, tempura morning glory, some fried greens (which i can't remember)barbecued scallop with minced pork in their shell, fruit platter and coconut ice cream. So how? Are you scared yet? I was.

After which, my dad's friend Uncle Lim, wanted to go play pool. So headed to Wild Wild West at Town In Town (very near my house). We were all so full and exhausted but not my tipsy dad and friend. They had more alcohol and nuts (AAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!! FOOD AGAIN!) Downing like almost half a bottle of Chivas at the restaurant, My dad still managed to beat Pat at pool who only had iced water throughout the night. ..... When you're good, you're good ...... :p Dad always tell Pat:" When i started playing snooker wwwaaaaaayyyy back then you were only in kindergarten ok?" Heh heh. That's dad for you. :) Uncle Lim, Uncle Lim, never quite see him this happening before. Tugging at girls' jeans! and flirtingly joking with them. Uncle Lim was slow at the beginning but soon caught up in pool skills downing another 2-3 mugs of beer. He was on a roll manz! Beat Pat & my dad at pool! *Gosh! I pity all their liver.*

One thing i hated about that place are the girls who threw themselves at guys. All flirty and chatty. Puui! Dad told them that i was his daughter and Pat is his son-in-law. She just replied:" No, dun lie. Can't be!" (Of cos all in Thai lar) And then flirted somemore! What the heck is that suppose to mean??!! My dad dun look that young or i look too old to be his daughter?! WTF! Regreted for being passive after that comment.

Finally they decided to call it a day @ friggin 1.30am! It was a loooonnnnggg day. Happy to head home and sleep.

Sorry guys for the verbal diarrhea and no pics cos forgot to take. Hee.
