i had a ton of fun in thailand really! talk abt retail therapy =) shoppin a chatuchak weekend market and suan lum night market were pure bliss... being able to bargain! and slash prices by half... the way the ppl are so nice as they queue up neatly in straight lines during peak hour, give up their seats for kids, old folks or just plain tired people... amazin really.. its uber modern, contrary to popular belief, and drinks are dirt cheap *yay
spent $550 or so there, bought 5 pairs of shoes, a pair of diesel jeans and a skirt, 3 A &F tops, 1 AE top, numerous locally designed tubes, boleroes etc.. a lovely roxy wallet!! which i shall post pics of soon and a great CD imitation wallet... covered with flowers... *dreams it was fun exploring on our own, gettin lost in the mrts and all and askin cute boxer types for directions ;)
anyway quote of the week, on hearing that some guy gave up a seat for my mum on the mrt so she cld sit with me, my brother promptly quipped " so are you pregnant, old or disabled?" the look was priceless =p
the food was heavenly, and olive rice must not be authentic thai food cuz there's no where in thailand i could eat it. oh swensen's there is heavenly, for 59 baht (i.e. $2.50- 3) you can have a mango tower which consists of mango ice cream and green rice and peanuts.. a novel yet utterly delicious creation. kudos to thai creativity in food!
alright anyway after recovering from my daily marathons as i shop, i finally met up with vick yest and passed him his tequila. lol ive posted a pic of the stuff dreams are made of.. here's to... absinthe =p
