#4: Chula Exchange

Stayed in Bangkok this weekend, what a pity ;( There's no classes on Tuesday as it's King Chulalongkorn day, which means I have a long weekend! From Saturday to Tuesday! And one of my Wednesday class is cancelled, should I skip the Wednesday morning class, I would have an even longer weekend, till Thursday! :x But no traveling plans, which sucks!

Supposed to go diving at Koh Tao. Wanted to go. But it's a four days course and because I have a presentation on Friday afternoon, I can't leave on Thursday night with the rest. :( How wasted. Sigh. Don't know if there'll be a next time anytime soon, due to the upcoming monsoon season in November and December. :(

Oh well, maybe I'll go to Koh Chang next weekend! :D


Lovely neoprints taken at MBK Center. :P Those were actual props! Kinda cool isn't it? Hahaha.

And YES OHMYGOD! 
I have the BEST burger in my life!!! At Firehouse Pub and Restaurant. The fries were really good too! Plus the meat patty, I ordered beef. It was so so soft and juicy!! Definitely going back there again! It's within 10 minutes walking distance from the Terminal 21 shopping centre. :D


Okay, my phone camera sucks :( I ordered the Mini burger. Trust me, it isn't MINI at all! And it costs like 140 baht with fries! Which translates to less than 6 SGD! :D


Taken from their Facebook page! YUMMY RIGHT! Exactly how mine looks like! :D


Picture of our apartment after a party. :/ Such a mess! And the floor was so sticky that we mopped it twice! :S Luckily we didn't get any complaint letter, as compared to the previous party upstairs. Hahaha.

#3: Chula Exchange: Sawadeeka!

Getting used to the Bangkok life, the spicy foods (though I usually avoid them :p), the traffic jams, the hot weather...

It's been more than a month since I've been in Bangkok, it seems like time passes by fast, especially when you're enjoying yourself, traveling around etc. The mood to study is totally at it's minimal.

Pictures of my room and the apartment! :D





We took the 3 bedrooms apartment, it's like a 4 rooms HDB flat in Singapore, 3 bedrooms plus a living room. There's TV in each of our individual rooms and a HDTV in the living room! ^_^

Places that I've been to so far,
  1. Attutaya
  2. Awphawa Floating Market
  3. Kanachanaburi
  4. The Grand Palace
  5. Alot of temples 
Shall focus on Kanachanaburi, since it's the latest and hence, most fresh memory :p It takes a few hours to get there by the minivan, from Victory Monument BTS. It was nice that when we arrived at Kanachanaburi station, we got picked up by a driver from the VN Guesthouse. :) Pretty cheap and decent accommodation for a day or two, think I paid about ten dollars or so for 2 nights? Sharing with 2 other girls in the room though it was meant for only two. :P


We rented motorbikes to travel around for the 2nd day. Vroom vroom!

Us with the motorbikes!

The Death Railway
We visited the museum for the death railway too. Learnt about how it came about, pretty sad story. Lots of lives were lost in building this particular railway, hence the term 'death railway' came about.

Group shot on the railway tracks :)

Super hugeeeeee BUDDHA!
I love the waterfalls in Kanachanaburi, we went to the Erawan National Park the third day, there are a total of 7 waterfalls. Beautiful! The only thing I regretted was wearing slippers, there was a slight rain and I slipped a couple of times, even had my slippers stuck in the mud. ;(











Okay... Now I have to drag myself to study, midterms are almost here. :( 
I just need to get a pass for all the courses! ^_^ Which is awesome!

Till I update again! 


Sawadeekaa!

#2 Chula Exchange: Counting Down To The Last Few Days

Suddenly, everything felt so surreal. I only have a mere few days left in Singapore that I can count, even with one foot. Though kinda excited at what awaits me when I reach over there, but somehow, not seeing the ones I love for about 5 months or so, makes me sad :(

Furthermore, I have never been away from home for so long before. And this is gonna be my virgin 1st time, not seeing friends/family for so long. Guess I will have to get used to it; get used to missing people etc.

Well, thankfully, there is the Internet available in my residence that I will be staying in. It will be my lifeline to keeping in touch with those I missed. Oh man, seriously, what would one do if there's no Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Mail, Whatsapp, Line, Viber... :'(

Okay, I will be staying at Nonsi Residence! :) Pictures below!

Looks not bad! Got swimming pool and gym! Hahaha, don't know whether I will use them anot haha!

Whenever I'm leaving on a plane for overseas, I'll think of this song - Leaving on a Jetplane.
Nice song! Got to know of this song from the movie, Armageddon. Super awesome movie too! 




So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go


:(
