Thailand(Day3)
It begins with a trip to the grand palace… but it looks more like a temple… hahaz we dropped off at the military museum… hmm or was it the military of defense… i cant rmb… anyway we tried to go in from the thai entrance… cuz admission was FOC… but sadly we all werent thai enough =( so we had to use the main entrance… we could get in the gate… but as soon as we realised that we had to pay 250baht to see a palace… we decided not too… anyway i have been there before… dont rmb seeing anything so nice there… haiz how evil of them to try squeeze out money from every single tourist they see!… anyway we decided to go shop… but before we shopped for clothes… we had to have lunch… n since the place we were going did not have good food… natha suggested we go to MBK(its a huge mall)… btw natha loves calling MBK… BMK… no idea why he does that… reached MBK… n as usual ure kinda spoilt for choice… its the same restaurants u see in all the other malls… there fast food too.. n a food court… we settled for MK… cuz natha recommended it… ooh the bacon was yummy =D… after lunch we walked around for a little while… the others bought lamps… i got myself a RC helicopter… not those that run in the thousands… one of the cheaper versions… haiz BAD MISTAKE BUYING IT!…. had to carry it where ever i went from now on… n since we took taxi… it made it worse when we had to squeeze with a helicopter inside… =( ar well
we reached the clothes paradise… umm started walking again… bought a bit of stuff… the rest were pretty angry that the shirts were free size(they come only in one size) which was sadly too small for them… joel was busy searching for his all important gift… anyway the place looks like it caters to girls… its like 80% of the shops are selling women’s clothes… so we kinda wasted our energy walking… we then walked to a nearby mall to have dinner… at A&W ooh… finally after such a long time… i had 2 curly fries n a hotdog… yummy =D… shared a waffle with beng… gona be a long long time till my next A&W meal =(
anyway by then i wasnt feeling well…
made our way to siam paragon… its like the paragon in singapore… high class… we dint intend to go there to shop… obviously… we went there cuz natha promised to show us some high end cars… n yes we werent gona buy them… just take pictures of the them… i had to go to the toilet by then… >.<…. went out… to cross the road to get dunkin donuts… 
on when i went out… they had an open air concert… some orchestra playing… was about to leave when they started playing 1812 overture… wasn’t very good… =S…. n nabil was angry cuz there were people smoking… so we left after that… n went 2 get dunkin donuts! :D… after which we went to the noodle shop… for supper… munch munch munch…. n we left soon after… walked back to MBK… n we took a taxi…
this is where it gets hilarious/ridiculous… natha dint trust the taxi driver… as the taxi driver could not give natha the correct answer for the cost of the tolls… so natha was supicious… n he started speaking in chinese to us… to tell us how he felt… lol never seen liat beng this funny… he said this to natha in chinese ," tell us when you think he(taxi driver) is driving us the wrong way, we will all gang up against him" really sounded like a true beng… hahaz 1st n last time i shall see him this outrageous… lol… it got till the point the taxi driver was suspicious of us… when natha asked him questions, he ignored natha… well i mean that is to be expected when there are 4 people speaking something he doesnt understand… so i guess he must have been worried that we wud bring him to some dark corner n rob him… hahaz…. anyway at that point natha was still suspicious of the driver so when the driver passed a place, natha called phorn to ask her if we need to pass this place to get to her house…. but he couldnt say it in thai… so he spoke in english… and asked phorn to directly translate it into thai… well phorn dint know either… she doesnt stay there…. its her aunts house… hahaz…. but once natha saw the air force base… he calmed down… haha cuz phorn’s uncle works in the air force… so the house was nearby…lol… everyone calmed down after that… hahaz certainly hilarious… reached phorns house… charged the helicopter for a while… washed up n BED TIME… hahaz =D
Day 4
Woke up… natha’s hair was cool… all standing up… in a wavy motion… cant really describe it in words… u shud see the picture on my friendster account soon… anyway after that we went down… took our shower…. thats when we decided to play with the helicopter… while waiting for phorn’s aunt to fetch us to the theme park…
brought it out of the house… joel tried it once… its pathetic… hard to control… so joel crashed it into the electrical wires before it fell straight onto the road side… hahaz i was next… dint dare to just push the trottle to the max… so i slowly pushed it… till it took off… n landed it soon after realising… this helicopter cant fly forward!! arrrgh wth… i bought a helicopter that cannot fly forward!!… anyway the lift it creats is pretty huge… just think of it as ure household fan… at max speed… maybe a little stronger than that…. natha was next… n i dont rmb what exactly happened… but he brought it high… about 3 storeys high… n i think the light breeze slowly pushed the helicopter to the back of the house… started to panic by then… so he slowly landed it… INTO THE MARSHES… we think… haha cuz we did not see where it exactly landed… the house was blocking our view =( anyway the bottom line is that… the helicopter is gone =(… ar well… bye bye helicopter…
wasnt very devasted by the lost of my helicopter… after all there is nothing much i could have expect from such a cheap helicopter which only could fly up n down -.-
but losing it that fast was a bit unexpected too… hahaz afterall i had to carry the helicopter for quite some time the previous day… natha helped me out too :D…
anyway whats gone is gone n will not come back again…unless i buy a new one =D hahaz… anyway phorn’s aunt came n off we were to DREAM WORLD… reached there in about 20mins… huge theme park… were dropped of at the entrance… n it looked so much better then escape theme park… =)…. went to get our tickets… n LUCKLY WE HAD PHORN N NATHA!…they had different prices for thais… they had to pay 350 while we had to pay 450… of course they werent so stupid to write 350 in english… they wrote it in thai… so only phorn & natha wud understand… wah lau… being a thai citizen has its benefits sia… too bad they couldnt cheat us… =D anyway 350 baht is about 15SGD… guess where we went first…. im sure u wudnt have guessed it… SPORTS SHOP selling branded goods at half price… lol… were all like attracted to see what kinda shop can sell branded goods at 50%… but it was genuine… quite surprising… really no idea how they sell stuff at 50%…. anyway we moved into the theme park… the hedges are extremely well pruned… the gardens were beautiful… n the fountains r beautiful… anyway 1st ride… MINI COASTER… lol no queue at all… it looked so kiddy… dint expect it to be pretty exciting… hahaz they had a drop which was small enough to give u that weightless sensation… but not for a long time… so it was pretty nice… hahaz next we went to the giant house… yes the name says it all… next… the roller coaster… which was TAME… omg it was even worse then the mini coaster… there are practically no drops… it just goes in circles… but the good thing is that we could go on it twice in a row… as there was no queue… hahaz next… we went…. oh yar we wanted to go for some water ride called grand canyon… but sadly it was under maintenance… damnit =( hahaz… since go kart was there, we decided to go for it… n once again they tried cheatin foreigners… thais pay less to go kart then foreigners… how dumb… anyway go karting wasnt very exciting… it was just going in a loop… few turns here n there… lol even escape’s go kart is better… though im sure guo ping wud scold me n joel wud kill me…anyway after that we went for… the ride that goes in vertical circles… eulz horrible… its like the mini version that singapore has… what makes it horrible is the number of times it spins u… n it hurts! damnit… how i wish it was much shorter… =( anyway the next ride is the WORSE RIDE OF ALL… its this spinning disc… at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal n it spins too… omg as usual it hurts when it spins as the belt restrains u from moving too much but this time it also makes u giddy… cuz the ride is faster… omg i felt sick… but i wasnt the worse one… natha was PALE!… very freaky… our tour guide look as though he was gona faint… but he put on a brave front n went for the wet ride!… that ride is guaranteed to get u wet… if not drenched… its a short ride… just goes up a slope makes a turn n drops back down… but the splash it creates is HUGE… brave liat beng natha phorn n joel were sitting in front… cuz they thought that we were all gona get wet no matter were we sat… but sadly… they were wrong… haha they got DRENCHED… while me n nabil were a little wet… by then natha seemed ok… hahaz those 4 heroes were so excited that they decided to stand at the bridge… where the splash created by the boat would directly pass through… lol… i dint wane get wet so nabil n i stood out…lol… i guess it wud have been nice standing there to see a huge wall of water heading towards u… but my shorts were dry n i preferred them that way.. =D hahaz…anyway we went for lunch afterwards n KFC… i was starving… so i went to order 1st… natha went to toilet( i thought he was sick) n the rest went for the roller coaster ride to ‘dry’ themselves… anyway nabil found out that natha was trying to squeeze water out of his shirt… hahaz…. anyway after lunch we went for this… real life action play… was quite entertaining i suppose… lots of stunts… … oh yar what was i thinking i missed out haunted house, pirates ship, bumper car n an indoor roller coaster… ok nvm haunted house 1st… natha n phorn were so scared that they left us to go through the haunted house… kinda freaked four of us… cuz even the thais were scared of the house… but it was ok i suppose… the one in escape was worse… MUCH WORSE actually… especially when i had a ‘girl’ pulling onto my shirt…. hahaz but pirate ship was FANTASTIC!! NO QUEUE as usual… n it goes extremely high… wow… exhilarating!… n scary too… lol joel has a ‘nice’ pic of phorn screaming… oh yar joel is this mad photographer that takes pictures DURING THE RIDE… okies after that…. yar we took a few more photos here n there… n went 2 the giants house… to cool down from the hot weather… n went out…. tried to get a taxi… where they again tried to charge us more for extra passengers… it was like a gang outside the theme park waiting for customers… haiz evil peeps… so we decided to go to the main road n hail one… went to the nearby mall where we had donuts… from MISTER DONUT… n after which we had dinner… at black canyon cafe… where i a taste of FUSION food… guess what it was CALLED… UDON IN TOM YUM SOUP… to show me the tom yum was authentic, they had LOTS OF LEMONGRASS in it… omg before i could even eat, i had to sieve through the whole bowl of noodles to get out a full plate of lemongrass… n the so called UDON… was actually rice noodles… how nice of them to call it FUSION FOOD… i guess tom yum flavoured instant noodles can be called FUSION FOOD too!… anyway the soup was great… i mean what could i expect from a soup which contains a plate full of lemon grass… anyway after that we took a taxi back to nathas house… his 2nd brother then brought us to a night bazaar where there was this huge ferris wheel.. we met his oldest brother there… i think that place beats the chachuchat weekend market… its cleaner… with floored tiles… the products are similar… there is not much crowd… there is a live concert at an open air hawker center n best of it… it is not HOT!… i chose to sit down with nathas brother n grab something to eat… i wasnt interested in walking about anymore… hahaz… it was good night life they had there… dint take pictures of the place =(… anyway the concert was… umm ok la… just imagine a ronan keating’s ‘when you say nothing at all’ being sung by a female with a heavy thai accent… i was wondering if she was singing the thai version of ‘when you say nothing at all’ … well the 2nd singer wasnt too bad… singing that tokyo drift song… the one phorn likes to sing… i guess she sounded a bit like japanese… well at least i could hear the lyrics… hahaz after which it was all thai songs being sung… so i just enjoyed the atmosphere… hahaz at abt 12mid-night we left… n natha’s oldest brother decided that we should go on a tour of the darker side of night life… all we had to do was drive around a park nearby… could see girls along the pavements…. u can infer the rest… his oldest brother got off n took cab somewhere… while his 2nd brother drove us home… to take our clothes… waited for us… to come back… n drove us to natha’s house to take our shower…waited for us again…. n then he drove us back… at about 2.30am… oh yes his brother seems nocturnal… actually not… his brother doesnt seem tired at all… he can work in the day AND AT NIGHT… n even drive us at such odd timings… really nice of him =)… anyway we got back… n i think the rest went to watch my sassy girl… or some movie… but i felt asleep… hahaz =D ok day 5 shall have to wait… i gtg sleep!
