Ebi & Emma goes boarding & Our BKK Trip~~

12th March, Thursday - I was on 1/2 day leave as i decided to come home early to spend some time alone with the dogs, bath & get them ready then pack their stuffs before they heads over to the respective 'houses'. =)

Winnie & Ah Too was really kind enough to come over & fetch Emma & the Hammies. They thought it could lessen my load as i don't have to travel to & fro with so much stuffs & save me time as i had not finished packing for my trip. I'm really grateful indeed as i was caught in a massive jam (BKE) on the way to Rachel's house. By the time we reached, it was 10+pm! The jam itself took me 1.5hrs when i left the house @ 8pm to pickup Cat @ Parkway before continuing our jouney to CCK. *sweats*

I missed the dogs badly shortly after i reached home & went for my very late dinner. But, i knew they would be very well taken care of by my dearies & put my mind at ease. =) Ebi & Emma would definately enjoy their stays while im away~

-= 13 March - Friday (Day 1) =-

Itinerary: Lunch @ MBK + Shopping, Central World, Erawan Shrine, Platinum Mall, Dinner @ Yaowarat, Suan Lum Night Bazaar

I finished packing & doing my stuffs by 3am, slept & woke up @ 4am to bath & change, then packed my necessities into my luggage. By 5am, everybody was out of the house & we squeezed into 1 car & Sam (bro-in-law) droved us to the airport. Our flight was @ 7.15am, by the time we reached airport & unloaded the luggages from the car, it was about 5.30am~ We checked in our bags & went for our breakfast @ the Killiney Kopitiam in T1.

We reached Bangkok, travelled to our guesthouse, unpacked our luggages & left for an early lunch @ MBK Foodcourt & the ladies did manicure (nail-arts) @ only 200 Baht (SGD 8.00+)! We then headed over to Central World in search of the petshop Jo told me about, but couldn't find it. Then we proceeded to Erawan Shrine (4-face buddha) to pray & then proceeding to Platinum Mall for some shopping. Mom & sis brought alot of things & thus, we decided to head back to the guesthouse 1st before we continue to Yaowarat for dinner & more late-night shopping. Heez~


Lunch @ MBK - Kway Chap

Nailarts done @ MBK

Back to guesthouse, welcomed by their pet GR (we named him : 老黄) He awaits for us by the gate everynite we comes back & greets us with the big bone in his mouth wanting us to play. Love him to bits! ("v")






Dinner @ Yaowarat~ Yummy yummy!!

Oh upon reaching, we were 'lured' into a massage parlour for an hour of foot+body+shouler massage @ 200Baht. We went in rightaway coz the place was small & cozy & it can hold only 5 of us just nice, no strangers around. Cat can scream/laugh aloud for all she wans since she gets tickled easily..muahaha~ Best of all, after the massage we feel so relaxed we could shop & walk at ease non-stop!


Suan Lum Night Bazaar

They have street stalls on the middle of the roads now & thus we had more 'trouble' combing the place coz the place seems so much bigger than before.


Was in search of the petshops & finally found 1 that sells pretty nice apparels. But most of their sizes were of xxxxs (fits only yorkshires)~ Finally found an 'big apple' tee for Ebi & a 'cheerleader' dress for Emma. Phew~ Their prices were rather high but i was bent on getting the 2 apparels though it looked so-so, coz i've been searching for doggy stuffs since morning & needs to reward myself! Hmmpf~

Dad went to this beer garden that features live band while we continue shopping!

We left @ 12++am & reached the guesthouse around 1+am, bathed & slept.. preparing for more shopping @ Chatuchak Market the next early morning & then attending Eric & Bibi's wedding dinner @ night~

-= 14 March - Saturday (Day 2) =-

Itinerary: Breakfast @ Guesthouse Coffeeshop, Chatuchak Market + Lunch, Eric & Bibi's Wedding Dinner, Khao San Road

Had our breakfast @ the coffeeshop downstairs, proceeded to Chatuchak Weekend Market @ 9am! Upon reaching, I left Mom+Dad & sis to do their own shopping while i went to the Pets Section wherby i spent 3 full hours there. *blush* LOL~ However, im glad because i bought so much doggy stuffs (apparels, mattresses, toys, bowls on stand eg.) back! I had a plastic bag (3/4 of my size) with all the 'good stuffs' loaded inside & my parents was simply amused. Keke. They did not make any noise but insist that i've brought new toys & apparels for Ebi & Emma, their precious gems. =)


Chatuchak Weekend Market!





Poor fella was yelping away in pain coz the man was brushing it so hard!



Shih-Tzu puppies, rather popular. They do not have schnuazer pups @ all..


Aww, so sweet with the crown!


They have other animals for sale like, cats, squirrels, ducklings, rabbits, hamsters & even snakes! OMG~~





Very glad that i found all the shops i wanted to! Butterdogwear, Pistachio, Dogfever, DoggyyDolly & etc. Infact, i combed the whole pets section & brought all the stuffs i wanted to! Kekeke~ Very enjoying & addictive/

We then met @ the Clock Tower after my doggy-shopping for lunch!

Tom-Yam Soup

Phad Thai




More shopping thereafter. Dad couldn't take it anymore & decided to sit down, rest & have some ice-cold beer while helping us to look after the many many bags of our shopping, while we continue with more shopping! Tsktsk

This particular stall sells very nice Thai Iced Milk Tea! Niceeeee~

Cute little boy that grabbed many attention. Many tourists like us made donations to him. He's just so cute! =)

We left Chatuchak by 4.45pm, rushed back to guesthouse to bath & change, then proceeded to Eric & Bibi's wedding dinner @ Raffles Hotel or something...



My buys of the doggy stuffs. Huge collections ya? Kekeke

We reached the Hotel @ 6.30pm promptly & met up with more relatives & friends over there. Needless to say, bride was beautiful & the groom was handsome. It was a grand affair & the decorations was really nicely done-up. The 'walkway' to the grand ballroom was lined with the wedding fotos in frames & eg. The wedding photos were simply so well-taken & soooo beautiful. We would say it was so much well taken than some of those taken in S'pore. Their outdoor shoots were simply awesome!


My family + Eric & Bibi

Grand Ballroom that holded 100 tables





Decorations along the walkway to the ballroom



First 3 dishes, was lazy to take the rest.. haha~


Their March-In was during the 3rd dish served. Something very different from S'pore. They were showing the video of the morning ceremony earlier on & they had this 'cartoon video' of how they met, dated & finally wedded. Hilarious!!



Cake-cutting & toasting

While waiting for the dishes, the ladies decided to go out for a smoke & take some pictures...

Dinner ended @ 10+ & we finally left the hotel @ 11+pm. We went back to the guesthouse to rest & let dad fall asleep before we sneaked out to do some walks + midnight shopping @ Khao San Rd. Sheesh~




Here's 老黄 waiting for our return, we would see him wagging his tail from far & he comes to us with the big bone in his mouth. =)

Such an lovely boy. Dad & Mom liked him too!

-= 15 March - Sunday (Day 3) =-

Itinerary: Breakfast @ Marina HK Cafe, Pratunam Market + Lunch, Platinum Mall/Chatuchak Market, HAPA Spa, Dinner @ Marina HK Cafe

9am, we met & went for breakfast at the nearby Marina HK Cafe - loved their roasted duck noodles & ice milk tea! Then, we took a Taxi to Pratunam Market & shopped till 1pm. Cat & Doreen wanted to shop @ Platinum Mall as they had not finished combing the place during the 1st day. I got Dad & Mom to go along with them as Dad was tired & wanted to sit down to have beer & relax while Mom wanted to do pedicure (nail art). Thus i decided to take a Taxi & went down to Chatuchak Market alone (yes, again! i'll not get sick of the place anyway, lol). We agreed to meet-up @ MBK about 5pm to do our last shopping for local snacks as we needed to rush back to the guesthouse to put our shopping bags & leaves for our Spa & Massages @ 6.30pm~

I went to Chatuchak to get more tshirts & shorts to wear @ home, nylon harness+leash sets for the dogs for use @ Sentosa this weekend & more apparels for Cat's & my friend. Time passes really fast & i left Chatuchak @ 4+pm to meetup the rest @ MBK Center at 5pm. I spent the remaining money on the local snacks. =p

A local policeman introduced us to this 'lucky temple'. It was Buddha's day (once a month) & we also got ourselves blessed by the monks. =)

Yessssssss! I was back to Chatuchak - Pets Section yet again! =))


This pair of Saint Bernard pups grabbed all the attention! They were lovely~

Awwwww, Shar-Pei pups! Look @ those folds!! *I liked the 1 in red bandana* =p

This bulldog was so cute. It just splits its legs wherever he goes & sits.

Pups were sold @ a young age of 5-6 weeks old..



Rabbits

Yucky!!



HAPA Spa~

Very nice & relaxing. We went for the Organic Body Scrub + Body Aromatherapy Massage & Hydro Aromatherapy Milk Bath while Dad & Mom went for the Aroma Foot Massage & Royal Thai Massage. Very comfortable & shiok indeed~

It was off to Marina HK Cafe again for dinner as it was already 10pm by the time we were all done. Too lazy to travel far off to Yaowarat again & thus decided to go somewhere nearer to the guesthouse where we can finish early & do back to do packing. We were all back by 11+pm & packed our luggages. =)

-= 16 March - Monday (Day 4) =-

We booked the same van (as we took from the airport to guesthouse during day 1) to pick us up at 6am. Then proceeded to Baiyoke Botique to pickup Agnes & Venus before we proceeded to the airport. Agnes & Venus went with 1 luggage each & came back with 1 luggage each as they didn't buy alot. Ours? We went with 4 filled luggages & 5 extra empty bags & came back with.. 10 filled luggages/bags!! LOLLLL~ I bought the most coz the doggy stuffs was already 1 1/2 big bag filled. Kekeke. =]


Our luggages & bags! Heez

It was definately a very very good trip. We did lotsa shopping, had our spa & massages, ate & walked to our fill. It's been a very long time since 5 of us travelled together & i can't wait to go for the next holiday together again! Brought the doggy stuffs back for Winnie & Rachel to thank them for taking such good care of Ebi & Emma too, during my absence. No words can express my gratitude, really! =) I promised the duos loads of good stuffs back for them & i did it! Heh~


Ebi & Emma's pressies. =p

After all the unpacking & resting. I was off to fetch Ebi & Emma~ Took a no. of pics @ Rachel's house with the trios, shall update it later. =)
