becoming a bummer

today is the fifth day since gw started, and i think im turning into a bummer! Other than the daily 3 meals intake, im practically surviving on cable tv and internet and occassionaly visits to Kexin's place to watch DVDs.

OK, so the cable tv is screening charlie and the chocolate factory AGAIN.. Most of the channels are in swedish, even cartoon network characters are speaking swedish!! Somebody please send me to learn swedish together with those 5 year old kids in kindergarten school.

Though Jacky told me it's bloody hot nowadays in Singapore, and people strolling along Orchard Rd can catch a fire easily. But still, I miss being in Singapore where you have everything within your reach! I miss going to the kopitiam to order chicken rice, I miss seeing people playing guitar at void decks. I miss taking MRT rides where u can go almost anywhere in Singapore. I miss seeing english words. I miss chilli padi, although neighbour say I can grow my own chilli at my garden but I do not want to die from any form of food poisoning yet.

Last but not least, I MISS PERSPIRING!!! The weather is so cooling, when I do vacuuming, mopping, laundry... I still look very good because i hardly sweat at all. People jogging outside do not have sweaty bodies or wet messy hair. I guess they can go on a date straight after the workout. I got desperate I went to buy a skipping rope.. Yeah, and skip at home with a jacket and all windows closed... I managed to squeeze out some perspiration

Another Indian song after MUTTON GO YAY!

im moving into my apartment today

I have to move out of hotel because we are only entitled to stay here for 7 days. Heng the IKEA is delivering all my furniture today, if not we will have to sleep on the inflatable mattress.

This is GW fixing stuff at home

This is GW doing up the curtains for our living room

This is GW installing the spotlights

GW changed the toilet seat cover. Blue on White looks kinda weird...

View from our balcony, we could have the seaview if we were staying higher level. Too bad lah.

Things here are expensive, and food is extremely salty. A cornetto ice cream I bought from the supermarket costs SG$4!!! And it's not the lin jun jie cornetto ice cream ok!


OK, will update soon with pictures of my newly furnished apartment when my home internet is setup. Which i think they will take forever 2 weeks to do it.

Settling Down

We are staying a hotel as our shipment is not here yet and the apartment is apparently empty.

Our place is located at Polhemsgatan and we gana the ground level.

There are pro and con lah, we do not have to climb stairs or wait for the stupid lao kok kok lift... But people walking pass will stick their heads in and see what you are doing all the time lor... We are going to IKEA tomorrow to shop for our furniture, so currently we are busy measuring the dimensions of our rooms and everything else. We bought vacuum and mop to clean up the house abit.. ABIT only la, because we are lazy people we will need to clean up again when our shipment arrives.

Kind of excited to visit their IKEA! Weather is gettting warmer now... 12 degrees today! GW can walk around in his Tshirt, like hero.

GW examining the curtain rods in our living room...

bangkok terror

Yeah, once again managed to jio baoli for a short holiday... and this time we headed to BANGKOK via our favorite MR TIGER AIRWAYS!


Miss Tan Baoli booked the 6.30 MORNING FLIGHT and I was like zombie in the wonderland at 4 plus morning. We chose to take the cheap flight and cheap hotel so as to have more budget to shop and we thought we were very smart though :) YEAAAAH! But just read on.


As expected, we are totally shagged when we checked in to Baiyoke Boutique Hotel we hit the bed to recharge ourselves for an hour.. it's a super cheap hotel 2 nights cost around $60 per person. And the wholesales market is only 5min walking distance away. We reached there on a Sunday so the wholesales market area was like having war... The walking path is so narrow and there is like 2 way human traffic.. and got people selling fruits in the middle of the narrow path somemore!!! It was disastrous lah!!! We could even feel the oxygen depleting there, hardly can breathe lor. Really pity the kids having to stick their faces at people's butt all the time.

Some pictures of Baiyoke Boutique deluxe room, small and cosy but toilet leaking one

We hardly shop on the first day due to fatigue... we felt giddy so we went back to Baiyoke Boutique Hotel, and ordered room service :) because we really do not wish to experience the horrible battlefield downstairs. Everything went well, Baoli was soon "dead" on the bed and I locked the door, watch TV (FARENHEIT WAS ON TV!) with all the lights off.


It was around 8.45PM Thailand time. I was singing along with my Fei Lun Hai MV and suddenly somebody opened our door but couldn't push it all the way because I locked the chain door latch as well. That somebody ran away, as I heard running footsteps together with the jingling sound coming from a bunch of keys.


I was like stunned for a moment, got up and peeped through the opening.. I was afraid to open the door just in case that somebody was hiding behind the wall, waiting to attack me when I step out. I try to wake Baoli... "Baoli wake up!! Someone opened our door and ran away!!!!" There was no response from her so I shook her hard.. No response as well, she was like so dead. When she resurrected, we tried to analyze what happened and called the frontdesk to report this matter.


Nobody answered for the first time, and i dialed for the second time and a man picked up the phone. I asked for his name and told him what happened and he said he will check the CCTV and call me back. He took a long time, so we called the operator again. He said he is still checking the CCTV and asked us where is our key. "The key is with us, both of us are in the room and the key is in the room." Then the duty manager tried to further explain nonsense saying maybe some other guests opened our door accidentally. We were like so pissed off because he is treating us like retarded kids with no common sense. How the hell can other people's keys get access to our room? Are you saying my key can open my neighbour's door? I told him about the jingling noise I heard when that somebody ran away, and suspect the culprit may be a hotel staff. And guess what.. He mentioned only the housekeeping people holds the spare keys and maybe they are doing their housekeeping just now. Me and Baoli were like.. WHAT??? Housekeeping at 8.45PM? And why did he have to run away, he could just apologise right...


Baoli was super pissed and we were prepared to packed up our stuff and leave the bloody hotel. About an hour later, the stupid duty manager came to our room and said there was nothing found on CCTV and offered to let us view it. But both if us knew they already did something to the video lah.. How can they not detect anything, there is a CCTV just 3 steps away from our door! And how can the door open by itself???


We didn't want to make a din because we were in Thailand and not in our Singapore, who knows we might be found lying dead on the crossroad junction the next day. We topped up 4000baht and moved to Baiyoke Sky Hotel and the room is like WOO HOO! We gorged ourselves silly again with room service, trying to convince ourselves that we deserved this meal for all the trouble we had for the past hour. Our room was at the 65th floor and we had this magnificent night view of Pratunum. We captured tons of crazy pictures with Baoli's camera phone and we were back to our own selves again.

Baiyoke Sky Hotel & FOOD!

Just see how fast we managed to recover from that shock

Mammoth says Hi from Bangkok!

We went to their revolving tower at the roof deck and it was so FUN! We were like crazy people, we totally unwind and I jio-ed Baoli to act like a Korean tourist by saying ahn-yan-ha-say-yo (hello) to everybody. Baoli was having a constipation so we went for this very crappy fruit court in the hotel for fruits buffet. It costs 150baht nett per person, mainly tropical fruits. You just have to pick and drop them in the basket and the staff will do all the peeling and cutting for you. And for the first time in my life, I ate 6 mangoes at 1 shot... SHIOK MAN! And they also provide hourly shuttle van service to Siam Paragon, which is walking distance to Siam City, The Central and MBK.

Brought some leftover longans from the fruit court for him

Super windy at the revolting tower... and ahn-yan-ha-say-yo

We were glad we moved out from that Baiyoke Boutique Hotel... OK, I need to unpack now.

on our special day

Be Kind Rewind!

This movie is SO CLASSIC, I tell you... It's a must-watch!!!!

I don't understand why is it called be kind rewind, it is the name of the video rental store in the movie. And this store only have HS cassette tapes which is those old fashioned type one. Then one day this Jack Black kenna electric-shocked and his body was magnetic-fied. He went into the video store and all the tapes got erased due to the magnetic current he was emitting. And the whole story about sweding movies got started when there was this lady who wanted to rent Ghostbusters videotape.. But remember all the tapes got erased??? And u know what they did...


They remake the movie using a videocamcorder and it is so SUPER HILARIOUS all the stupid things they did! They dressed themselves with aluminium foil to look like ghostbuster uniform... disturb the ah ma in the library with the vacuum cleaner hose... burn up their car when they are filming the marshmallow monster terrorising the streets.

KUDOS TO THEIR CREATIVITY!
