* klutz....

i swear i've been finding new ways to hurt myself.....
first, lodging my thumb between the car door for Christmas...
now for Chinese New Year?

Falling into the drain.....
it was about 3 feet deep!!....which was more than half of me....
the place was dark and i thought the drain was covered...

thinking back, now it seems quite comical to me... :P

scratches on the leg....

scratches on knee.....

scratches on ankle....

scratches on thigh.....and one big purple bruise appeared later...

minor scratch on arm...

Berhati-hati semasa berjalan,

Nanti jatuh longkang ;p

*Ow III

It's been awhile....
So how's my thumb doing ya?

More grossed out photos.....i promise it's the last ones..... ;P

the hollow nail.....i've dugged out all the dried blood...

OooOo....it moves...

eeek!! it's detached from the skin....

So...how's it now?

Tadaaaaa!!

The old is gone, the new has come.... my half grown new thumbnail...

The End ;)

*schnip schnip~

Yippeeee.....had a haircut finally......

Apamacam? Boleh ka? (omg...so vain..) :P

Won't tell how much it cost....

* Ow II

An image update of my thumb.... :P
I have dug out the dried blood...so the clear part is hollow.....
The nail is still sticking by some skin....

* Ow!!

This is the reason why you should never day dream....

Ter-kiap-ed the tip of my thumb while closing the car door...luckily i didn't slam the door...
it was very painful nevertheless....a very throbing, numbing pain..

after shutting the car door...i stared at my hand stuck at the door for half a second before i realised the pain...
...then only i remind myself to open the door...silly silly silly...
..can just see the blot start clotting right away.... bengkak now...

so big already still so clumsy... :P

the purple-ed thumb...

close up...eewww....gross.....

I can foresee my thumbnail dropping out soon.....eewww...

* loy kap~

Bangkok Day 2 & 3!!
I've combined photos for Day 2 & 3 as these two days were spent wholely on shopping....so...did'nt take much photos... hehe....too busy....spending... :P

So .... Day 2

Started out from hotel after breakfast...
We walked to the BTS station Ari to get to Siam station (all major shopping malls situated around this area, from the high end branded malls to the Sg. Wang type malls)
From Siam station...we walked all the way to Bobe market (walking distance 40 minutes!)
Why walk?? erm...."Get to see more things laa.." said aunt...."and save money for more shopping too!" :P
Bobe market is a wholesale place where you can find clothes and stuff dirt cheap!! (bikinis for RM10!!)
After an unfruitful shopping trip, we decided to walk back to Siam...to check out Mahboonkhrong...popularly known as MBK...

Stopped by at Tesco for lunch before that.... had yummy beef noodles & fried chicken bought from a roadside stall.. (sorry...forgot to take photos...was too busy eating :)
The rest of the day was spent walking around MBK, Pratunam and the areas around it. We've discovered an amazing place to shop but it was late and they were closing...so...reserve for day 3!!

Day 3

Left hotel...walk to Saphan Kwai...took BTS to Siam....walked to the Platinum Fashion Wholesale Market!
Well...the name says it all....5 floors of anything fashion you can think about...at wholesale prices....shop till you really drop!!
We spent the whole day here...so...not much photos....only photos of lunch & dinner....heh....

So....let the photos tell you the story....

so....where to shop next??

At Tesco... we saw some amazingly huge durians!!

Bangkok's public toilets are amazingly clean.....and...abit different too...this is their squat toilet...

After walking like forever...we stopped to rest at a cafe to have some ice cream...
Coconut ice cream...abit scepticle at first but surprisingly it turn out to be very nice!!
coconut flavoured ice cream, yam cubes at the side, some pulut rice at the bottom and nangka strips on top...yummy!!

Normal tasting vanilla ice cream with rasberry sauce...

We were caught in the rain while walking back to the BTS station...it was so heavy we took refuge at this tiny stall....we were drenched anyway...
the aunty was selling some food.....what is it?

A closer look......

It's called 'Zhu Jiao Fan' .... hehe....

Feeling abit hungry....and no sign of rain stopping soon....so we ordered a plate to share....(also we feel abit paiseh la to stand at her stall and not order anything :P)

not bad also...kinda like bak kut teh without the soup...

Thai crepe!! Nice! I like!!

Som Tam!... papaya & mango salad....my like too!

Look at all the colorful taxis!

Close look at the Som Tam...

Beef nooodlessssss......yummmmmm....me lurrveee....

Tuk tuks everywhere...

Yes...cover your nose....the air is quite polluted...

Shopping is real hard work....stop to have some drinks...take your pick....

Yummy, refreshing coconut juice....

After a tired day of shopping....

we went for dinner at one of the roadside stalls near the hotel....

Waiting...waiting....where's my food leh?

Finally...dinner is here!! Only 2 dishes....cause we only know how to order these 2....
