I have been checking around with my blogger friends in the past few days but I'm yet to make my decision.<br /><br />Another important thing that I have been thinking of is, what would be my domain name? Hmmm.... it's not an easy task loh...<br /><br />I still don't know how I could park all my blogs under one domain, I'm sure there will be lots of tidying work to be done, well it's never a relax job to "move house" anyway. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-35866920602452311882008-07-23T13:24:00.005+08:002008-07-23T13:47:21.278+08:00Multi-lingualMy hubby and I speak Mandarin & English with Dillon since young, while my maids speaks Mandarin to him; as for in-laws, they speak in Hakka dialect.<br /><br />Initially I was quite worried for Dillon that he might get confused with so many different languages and I'm really unsure which language is he going to be mastering when he speaks.<br /><br />But then I realised that my worries is not necessary at all. At his age of 31-32 months now, he is picking up new words at a fast pace and he can understand words & sentences in different languages. :)<br /><br />He also likes to imitate the way we talk to him, and he would say the same back at his sister Kaith: "no no don't touch this...", "go away, hot hot....mummy scold", "come down, mummy beat beat".<br /><br />It's cute & funny to see when he acts & talks like a big brother.

My boss' wife, Ms. Belle Lee volunteered herself at the refugee school and came up with this class project to raise funds for the Myanmar people in the aftermath of the cyclone as well as for the 2 Kachin schools which are currently only funded by individual donors. 100% of the profits will go towards the Cyclone Relief Fund & the refugee schools.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>My Beautiful Myanmar</strong></span> </em>contains drawings and stories from the refugee kids about why they left Myanmar, what their lives are like in Malaysia and what their hopes are for their future.<br /><br />Please support this project by buying a copy (or more!) of the book as well as spreading the word about it. Also we would be very grateful to those who are willing to help us distribute the books at your businesses, among friends, your churches, clubs, etc. on consignment basis.<br /><br />This high-quality <span style="color:#cc33cc;">40-page color</span> book is <span style="color:#cc33cc;">ONLY RM15 each</span>. Shipping can be done via pos laju or registered mail, and cost to be borne by buyer, as I'm not taking any profit from this, all is for charity.<br /><br />If you’re keen please contact me via email (<a href="mailto:yiaukaren@gmail.com">yiaukaren@gmail.com</a>) or leave your comment here. Your help is immensely appreciated!<br /><br />P/S: Trust me, besides donating to help these less fortunate children, this is a good book with touching & valuable true stories that we should let our children read, and appreciate what they are having now. RM15 for a valuable lesson is definitely worth the money.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvWAhxMxURb2objTC4sUv1M52avQH_cu1LKTNbJFOHRHz8oN-uSy8Yi3hWX5l-7t_JQjoy7zXjnuZDSX4RgAwUc8s2U9zmMDhUh8qe0JcEUdH2_R9O-Q3QzovPF_nDTBRs8bux4R7B8_c/s1600-h/image003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224244619303921410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvWAhxMxURb2objTC4sUv1M52avQH_cu1LKTNbJFOHRHz8oN-uSy8Yi3hWX5l-7t_JQjoy7zXjnuZDSX4RgAwUc8s2U9zmMDhUh8qe0JcEUdH2_R9O-Q3QzovPF_nDTBRs8bux4R7B8_c/s320/image003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwY9YXgfTc56qNqrZEajFsV3DTMoXC4nrPjhyfcd2Utb1tl98wXlPvVBs8brnHMgH4HsfTaPeLeZzU0pVoNqZmieDj2_JOEglsMYhfsHeMFJJVK4br2Gh2WM_Qf08ChNpF9JI2adACd4F/s1600-h/image008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224244620801963138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwY9YXgfTc56qNqrZEajFsV3DTMoXC4nrPjhyfcd2Utb1tl98wXlPvVBs8brnHMgH4HsfTaPeLeZzU0pVoNqZmieDj2_JOEglsMYhfsHeMFJJVK4br2Gh2WM_Qf08ChNpF9JI2adACd4F/s320/image008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em><span style="color:#cc33cc;">"Kids should be running to the park and not running for their lives."</span></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com83tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-10582874459112433482008-07-13T23:06:00.008+08:002008-07-13T23:35:03.363+08:00Your vote please....I'm kind of surprise to know that Dillon is one of the 15 finalist in <a href="http://www.mamypokoclub.com/contest_console/Participate_Contest.aspx?ID=6"><span style="color:#009900;">"Stars of Mamypoko Calendar 2009" </span></a>contest when I was told by my blogger friends on Friday morning.<br /><br />After seeing all other finalist photo, I know it's not easy for Dillon to win.

I have not been travelling for years since I gave birth to Dillon, and all of sudden the trips come one after another.... (well at least I can make good use of my passport that cost me RM300 for renewal! :P)<br /><br />I'll be going to Jakarta this Friday and coming back on next Monday. This is the 1st time I travel to Jakarta so I do plan to spend some time on leisure while I'm there, although the work schedule looks quite tied up.<br /><br />Also heard that shopping there is pretty ok, not sure how true it is but I'll definitely find some time to check it out and see if it can beat Bangkok, hahaha LOL.<br /><br />Will share more stories & photos when I'm back, stay tuned.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-86492355257543657032008-06-13T22:57:00.001+08:002008-06-15T23:17:55.825+08:00Days in painThe past week was not very good for me as my gums were so sore & swollen and I was suffering from so much pain. It was so bad that I can't even eat anything solid except porridge and mashed potatoes, I've been eating like what Kaith eats for a few days. At night I couldn't sleep well as the pain was causing me bad headache too.<br /><br />I've always heard about how suffering toothache was and this is the 1st time I'm having it and I totally agreed that it's really torturing & unbearable.<br /><br />I finally went to see the dentist on Friday morning and took some antibiotic, pain killer, and some medicine to reduce the swelling. I still need to go back to check if my gums still sore after the medicine finished, as the dentist suspects the root of problem might be my wisdom tooth.<br /><br />I feel better now as I write, but my gums are still a bit swollen and if it doesn't get any better, I'll have to see the dentist again on Monday.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-10940366236674222922008-06-08T00:30:00.001+08:002008-06-09T14:33:22.057+08:00Happy birthday to me :)It was my birthday yesterday, now I'm officially just one step away from the gate of 30's so I can still tell people that I'm in late 20's and I still falls into age group 25-29 when I fill up some forms...... :P<br /><br />As usual, there is no big celebration, no surprise from hubby, we just went for a dinner for 2 at a Japanese restaurant and it was great and enjoyable; we also had a good weekend with the kids.<br /><br />As for presents, I have already had the best. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOKcOdJQbKHJ1GZYbi5nunoRVTE_NMLf2h2e3aGJ1VmtyW5JhqAft3TEVskXcMeqqh0JODNQwsSP6X-A59uzng1gqE2ssPmasGISpvW_4Cl1M2hTsII_6aPO97u4Tay6BlxRzuqQ__p_A/s1600-h/1234.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOKcOdJQbKHJ1GZYbi5nunoRVTE_NMLf2h2e3aGJ1VmtyW5JhqAft3TEVskXcMeqqh0JODNQwsSP6X-A59uzng1gqE2ssPmasGISpvW_4Cl1M2hTsII_6aPO97u4Tay6BlxRzuqQ__p_A/s320/1234.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209766071026292594" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-57437199300475375342008-06-03T10:31:00.002+08:002008-06-05T10:33:56.130+08:00Penang TripJust got back from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Penang</span> on Sunday and overall the trip was good, but hubby & I were extremely tired.<br /><br />Although I have prepared the checklist prior to my trip, but yet I can forget about the stroller :P, so throughout our trip, we have to carry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kaith</span> but luckily my sister has helped me taking care of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Kaith</span> as well.<br /><br />Dillon obviously enjoyed very much, he was super active as usual (not something new right? :P) and was running around exploring places, so hubby & I have to keep our eyes on him all the time.<br /><br />Now that I know, traveling with 2 young kids is definitely a challenge......<br /><br />See the pictures <a href="http://karenyiau.multiply.com/photos/album/65/Penang_trip_-_May_08"><span style="color:#009900;">here</span></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-76803176567861785112008-05-28T14:51:00.008+08:002008-05-28T15:38:06.181+08:00Packing the kids luggageWe'll be traveling to Penang by road on this coming weekend to attend a wedding function, and also visiting the island.<br /><br />This would also be my 1st time traveling with both kids and I'm a bit excited. I have already prepared a checklist so that I won't miss out anything when packing the kids luggage. For Dillon it is much easier as he no longer takes milk and is diaper-free during day time. Anyway, these are the thing I've listed down:<br /><br />- Sufficient outfits & diapers for 3 days 2 nights<br />- Shoes, socks & hats<br />- Baby wipes & diaper changing mat<br />- Baby bath & lotion<br />- Inflatable travel bathtub (for Kaith)<br />- Potty seat (for Dillon)<br />- Towels, handkerchiefs & bibs<br />- Milk powder, milk bottles, thermos flask, water bottle, cereals, feeding bowl & spoon (for Kaith)<br />- Water tumbler (for Dillon)<br />- Snacks, some small toys & books<br />- Sunscreen lotion<br />- Swim wear, swim ring, beach ball & beach toy play sets<br />- Antiseptic cream for mosquito bites & nappy cream (in case)<br />- The light weight umbrella stroller<br /><br />Did I miss out anything essential?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-38042967798363601872008-05-27T11:51:00.004+08:002008-05-27T12:00:35.290+08:00Why Dillon cannot be a footballer?<div align="center">Dillon is taking the penalty kick...........<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204902199238689234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfjdcf186l0xt26RJkugfae0Dfjp76rpR4xSdIjpX9Jy_5jC2SyTkSK5sbiPeYMn77Pg80fTdJDtCsFxa4h-NmB1feQBGuJiP02IeK7aafzD-zRrKgXoJZHDqfwyuaP2UdQUtBtLcGZOfB/s320/DSC00050.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">OMG</span> he missed it!!!

But those that I've seen are either too small, too "plastic" or too expensive. And then recently I found this one made of Rattan ("rotan"), which I think is more practical and worth the money, although it doesn't look as fancy as those I've seen in Toys'r'us and Ikea. It is big and 2 kids can ride on it at one time, it is so durable that even I can ride on it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfR4wrhNtkzS5bW7_urnE8AoGsK_xcj6sgXFR-VwgxFHq3q246t74BBCAze2yhVkmZtP80cXpOCrHKp7ZpAOMmqS3DKyKYXqLJRsHhaulBz5Vd9p3suZxRsZjO5leCQ7iweOcyvKQAP7A/s1600-h/DSC06293.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203985279555568034" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfR4wrhNtkzS5bW7_urnE8AoGsK_xcj6sgXFR-VwgxFHq3q246t74BBCAze2yhVkmZtP80cXpOCrHKp7ZpAOMmqS3DKyKYXqLJRsHhaulBz5Vd9p3suZxRsZjO5leCQ7iweOcyvKQAP7A/s200/DSC06293.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMbJyE2MwX1h1GPyzyv1P31erMnENgbC-UI4C-7zpdGuVEK8jAybtnYnmKpMay5bbOsrL5U4QXaB6elYsOwjjN3Jv4ZpAiCCFxXvA0wQ6xiz72B63r5D08nOPCq5rQVC3maQLHw5HItIx/s1600-h/DSC08501.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMbJyE2MwX1h1GPyzyv1P31erMnENgbC-UI4C-7zpdGuVEK8jAybtnYnmKpMay5bbOsrL5U4QXaB6elYsOwjjN3Jv4ZpAiCCFxXvA0wQ6xiz72B63r5D08nOPCq5rQVC3maQLHw5HItIx/s200/DSC08501.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203986752729350594" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-9457045580382643592008-05-16T00:26:00.003+08:002008-05-16T00:51:06.929+08:00Dillon is turning 2.5 y/o soon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gZjqB3I-Dycs2xRJXjUwOryzK0RFdkzM1gAw_8d20xY3cjr98KztmwHo7UNLVDQfzlfUXhEsQxUMyzgPY60ehsqug3MCSQAcq2Kt-48X9rSkgicbxy79pTIXWYS-GM5_oK50WdgzXHwb/s1600-h/DSC08953.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gZjqB3I-Dycs2xRJXjUwOryzK0RFdkzM1gAw_8d20xY3cjr98KztmwHo7UNLVDQfzlfUXhEsQxUMyzgPY60ehsqug3MCSQAcq2Kt-48X9rSkgicbxy79pTIXWYS-GM5_oK50WdgzXHwb/s320/DSC08953.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200648097088024258" /></a><br />It's been a while since I blog about my kids (mummy only busy blogging about her KK trip la, Bangkok trip la so selfish :P), so after the previous post about Kaith, now I should write something about Dillon too. :)<br /><br />He is going to be 2.5 years old in 2 weeks time, getting more and more active & mischievous too. He enjoy going to the outdoor playground to play the swing, slides and basically running wild and his another favourite would be going to the pool.<br /><br />He is not very good in talking yet but is learning at a steady pace. He speaks Mandarin most of the time (coz my maid speaks that) but he understands when I speak English to him too. He is also speaking a bit of Hakka dialect since my in laws speak the language to him.<br /><br />Is he getting along well with meimei? It's pretty well I'd say, he always show his care & love to Kaith where he will hug & kiss her forehead, pick up toys for her and play with her, wipe her face when she sweats, and when we bring him out, he will "ask" meimei to come along too....... so I think he is doing a good job as gorgor. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-69457372359423121052008-05-14T08:49:00.004+08:002008-05-14T15:22:49.489+08:00Kaith at 10.5 months<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkYSwBRxIPQkGTv7qmUWDjqy3_7-fTJotWfi4JCCJzdDVaqMADl_VbeI_L46FZdemvAPWp02CLrAW_RqoMGbafAaEdBt1iF_94G0Kz8TgfzV3in4mA2SnvUbHqfQ2q1siDChsnEnNE39B/s1600-h/DSC08094.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200130175571734162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitkYSwBRxIPQkGTv7qmUWDjqy3_7-fTJotWfi4JCCJzdDVaqMADl_VbeI_L46FZdemvAPWp02CLrAW_RqoMGbafAaEdBt1iF_94G0Kz8TgfzV3in4mA2SnvUbHqfQ2q1siDChsnEnNE39B/s320/DSC08094.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I almost don't believe it, Kaith is already 10.5 months now and in less than 2 months time, she will be entering toddler hood.</div><br /><div>Kaith weighs a healthy 8.7kg, and she has grow taller and look less chubby now, however her thighs still look "fleshy" though, hahaha LOL.

She has totally weaned off mid night feed 2 days after I quit breastfeeding, without much fuss, I guess maybe she "know" that she is no longer getting me to breastfeed her so she also "decided" to quit mid night feed? haha, anyway it's good to me also that she sleeps through the night now. :)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-37873011215708002032008-05-10T23:50:00.002+08:002008-05-12T10:32:43.051+08:00Mother's Day dinnerIt's a big family gathering tonight with my sister & husband and their 3 kids (Kah Hoe, Kah Lok & Wai Ying), my brother & wife and their kid (Zheng Yang), myself & hubby plus Dillon & Kaith and of course the "main character" of the day, our dear mummy.

The place was already crowded by shoppers and I bought some kids clothing and some for myself. Ended up spending another 900baht and that's it, my wallet is finally emptied, :(<br /><br />We packed all our stuff, and of course I packed mine into hubby's luggage bag as well since he only bought 2 jerseys & 2 T-shirts, there's still ample space to put my things in, hehehe :P<br /><br />We reached Suvarnabhumi airport around 1pm and we checked in early. Both of our luggage bags weigh only 14kg in total, well at least I know that next time I could actually buy more & not worrying that the baggage will exceeds the weight limit, hahaha :D<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWScDXz7MsF1pNC9Apy_-jFYqPhmx-XnxoM1Q8Lojy6wirxZecWigdVoe_NwDpr2BaKephGjGNzpEK1-dzNa84lYC61HGiQIWpJzF3dRdB0ODw-r9BBtjAf6QYRjHnBA_vFYViL-j6cYaH/s1600-h/DSC07154.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195068812081028002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWScDXz7MsF1pNC9Apy_-jFYqPhmx-XnxoM1Q8Lojy6wirxZecWigdVoe_NwDpr2BaKephGjGNzpEK1-dzNa84lYC61HGiQIWpJzF3dRdB0ODw-r9BBtjAf6QYRjHnBA_vFYViL-j6cYaH/s320/DSC07154.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><em>2 luggage bags full, with my backpack and a hand carry plastic bag.<br /></em></span></p><p align="left">We hang around in this new airport & had our lunch.

We thought of going McD to eat the Pork burger but there wasn't one in the airport, so we headed to Burger King, which we then found that it's closed for renovation... :( We ended up having Pizza for lunch, not bad at all.<br /><br />Our flight took off on time and we reached LCCT around 6.15pm, and I just can't wait to rush home to see Dillon & Kaith....<br /><br />I have really enjoyed this trip, but it'd be better if I have had the right companion who would enjoy shopping as much as I do, hahaha, too bad hubby only enjoyed the food while the other couple friends, I'm not sure if they enjoyed the trip though. To be frank, I haven't had enough shopping this time (will it ever be enough?) so I'm definitely going back to Bangkok again, with my mummy friends. :)</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165782194447546786.post-89245821153979093282008-04-30T14:42:00.008+08:002008-05-02T11:04:46.653+08:00Bangkok Trip - Day 3The highlight of the day is no other than Chatuchak Market, which only opens on weekends. Some said a trip to Bangkok isn't complete without visiting the Chatuchak market, which I have to agree. :)<br /><br />We woke up early as it'll be very hot & stuffy to visit the market in the afternoon. We took the BTS Skytrain from Ratchatewi to Mo Chit station, which cost only 30baht per person and we reached the Chatuchak market around 9am, just nice to start doing our shopping.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ob0DV9iVec-esoiTnlA0hgikL2omxi5w47Fvq1eAMI9K4RoYUnLZfIsgswBNarRcOMhlnrbOsU17oYE7Q8hvCr98onRObIoiz0mZGDs0ejwseKVYEtOc4gTpGdkgADmzct2R-LEeEXI9/s1600-h/DSC06984.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195050627189496642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Ob0DV9iVec-esoiTnlA0hgikL2omxi5w47Fvq1eAMI9K4RoYUnLZfIsgswBNarRcOMhlnrbOsU17oYE7Q8hvCr98onRObIoiz0mZGDs0ejwseKVYEtOc4gTpGdkgADmzct2R-LEeEXI9/s200/DSC06984.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6wi8kpbNp9LRBskSMhN7A4N3UJ1Zba3FBPzjOLmVOf-18X5b2ZlGzh4CzI461mpJbXVPPaH3w8CKdbfaYcilIYgFAHEIis1h-C0ZkadRWJXezTBkI8nURAK2D6xbHYPNt1UXTQxUn2mp/s1600-h/DSC06992.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195050631484463954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6wi8kpbNp9LRBskSMhN7A4N3UJ1Zba3FBPzjOLmVOf-18X5b2ZlGzh4CzI461mpJbXVPPaH3w8CKdbfaYcilIYgFAHEIis1h-C0ZkadRWJXezTBkI8nURAK2D6xbHYPNt1UXTQxUn2mp/s200/DSC06992.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The market is so huge and it's divided into 26 sections that sell basically everything that you can name eg. clothing, handicraft, antiques, plants, ceramic, and even live animals/pets. There are maps available there for reference. Since we were there early, it's not that hot and crowded yet so my shopping was quite enjoyable. I bought some clothes & shoes for myself, and some decorative items & souvenirs too, of course I never forget to bargain and I'm quite satisfied with it. I have spent about 2300baht in just less than 4 hours, and we have to leave as it's started getting hot and crowded and hubby also feel very bored already (man will never enjoy shopping huh?)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuOc0lD8mwUjefQVWWt3Ii9T8hhi4weZ5VsY_MQkYvaUJzuXcUksFS_BaJ7Fif_xIAgDZi0j-c6eG2tMuo_KlokCUfwNq6sXluHLCbjxroCipFCcb_aXgy3qmFm7qgfy6UppFGbFFoF3n/s1600-h/DSC07012.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuOc0lD8mwUjefQVWWt3Ii9T8hhi4weZ5VsY_MQkYvaUJzuXcUksFS_BaJ7Fif_xIAgDZi0j-c6eG2tMuo_KlokCUfwNq6sXluHLCbjxroCipFCcb_aXgy3qmFm7qgfy6UppFGbFFoF3n/s200/DSC07012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195052847687588738" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjNFvy-dYDP0xdUz4kKGWtP8QOmrBJPfjCEpQoGbnpTM2xEf6A8gk9ULqUyxO03yGwxh9KbxT185zSwwsdu2gisDR63piHK9m9hAXnu8sl2_SZ-UvPDEF7HPiR12aZByZ_n9x62710aKo/s1600-h/DSC07013.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjNFvy-dYDP0xdUz4kKGWtP8QOmrBJPfjCEpQoGbnpTM2xEf6A8gk9ULqUyxO03yGwxh9KbxT185zSwwsdu2gisDR63piHK9m9hAXnu8sl2_SZ-UvPDEF7HPiR12aZByZ_n9x62710aKo/s200/DSC07013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195052851982556050" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVg6K5KG8URZOSkOpTmzgzYb8ZaUHz8trqRTsSN2MqIUdbBtG3wKmfSY4nYFOOs5dyLU3EoMHcccML8LKpceXM72rsJCLOacgzoC_ys56IZeUFbfx-8cPxc4A8U_N4kfZroGgheBU5DKr/s1600-h/DSC07000.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195051301499362146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVg6K5KG8URZOSkOpTmzgzYb8ZaUHz8trqRTsSN2MqIUdbBtG3wKmfSY4nYFOOs5dyLU3EoMHcccML8LKpceXM72rsJCLOacgzoC_ys56IZeUFbfx-8cPxc4A8U_N4kfZroGgheBU5DKr/s200/DSC07000.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRrNXKcZfhZpGZG3mlW98m-PrcOXN6peh4xWI1PPH19L4vHFdHft639jr7WMAh6oZRMwgWHdwqTa_oxIvG8_O6CICXHVLi-EItSiQDMfDqQpJzICdoHCjPYL_ZdrYZkIC4XhuT_yEXlRw0/s1600-h/DSC07025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195051301499362162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRrNXKcZfhZpGZG3mlW98m-PrcOXN6peh4xWI1PPH19L4vHFdHft639jr7WMAh6oZRMwgWHdwqTa_oxIvG8_O6CICXHVLi-EItSiQDMfDqQpJzICdoHCjPYL_ZdrYZkIC4XhuT_yEXlRw0/s200/DSC07025.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We went back to hotel and we decided to take a short nap to recharge our energy.

We reached at 9.00am and the crowd were already there. It's not a very lucky day for us as it started to rain when we were about to go in. Anyway we still continue our sightseeing since the rain wasn't heavy.<br /><br />For those who plan to visit <strong>Grand Palace</strong>, make sure your shoulders and legs are covered all you will be renting happy pants (Cost 100 baht and you'll get it back when you return the clothes), toes should be covered as well (though I still see some people allowed to go in wearing sandals). The entrance ticket cost 250baht, which includes entry to the <strong>Vimanmek Mansion</strong>.<br /><br />The Emerald Buddha is especially amazing and it's a fair bit walk around, it's definitely a place worth visiting when you are in Bangkok, but we are not allowed to take any photos of the statue. Below are some photos of the surrounding areas:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iYZQZTFmo0QRohS6NexJ0Iexmc9yTIYyV5la78JxZCbTi0xkFICBcQ2v2k15Z60HR8bYtIxlnt_77OuuSWX0_zknTpNR9D6u23kmMjpUz7Mtm93SNYapOuC1r73dNFrtJgfgwbegK7Hd/s1600-h/img+045.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195010830022531554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iYZQZTFmo0QRohS6NexJ0Iexmc9yTIYyV5la78JxZCbTi0xkFICBcQ2v2k15Z60HR8bYtIxlnt_77OuuSWX0_zknTpNR9D6u23kmMjpUz7Mtm93SNYapOuC1r73dNFrtJgfgwbegK7Hd/s200/img+045.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgToNsx1-HhnwSwtPUDPbScfZMDkPXSxWwqAOLR0jhkKY1DOtZyM08qVBsT283DKdY_coMAxPZuADhGYFWlQM4-B9SBlk-lclzxR1Y5b3CzzqUUfyum31muaFmGa9V2mPaFePJ1giYhX5MQ/s1600-h/img+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195010842907433458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgToNsx1-HhnwSwtPUDPbScfZMDkPXSxWwqAOLR0jhkKY1DOtZyM08qVBsT283DKdY_coMAxPZuADhGYFWlQM4-B9SBlk-lclzxR1Y5b3CzzqUUfyum31muaFmGa9V2mPaFePJ1giYhX5MQ/s200/img+046.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigVudwkZeCcv7ONy4hmA_jCxlwMfiCnrvHMnzeN505hIWy9LOSv05NUjvUmezwPnlKyVFQYRsOVG4B2CbF15mkim1o0qYLBRtWYdBJJinOIj8vjDmZCsaEsziHI3nW_-nKV5AZvwcskqDu/s1600-h/img+050.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195010851497368066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigVudwkZeCcv7ONy4hmA_jCxlwMfiCnrvHMnzeN505hIWy9LOSv05NUjvUmezwPnlKyVFQYRsOVG4B2CbF15mkim1o0qYLBRtWYdBJJinOIj8vjDmZCsaEsziHI3nW_-nKV5AZvwcskqDu/s200/img+050.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vLQ4qZkVK5FmxIrNgS4h2_Xn0DUKl4qUojmfAjy9iTbpOuaQdq9BVTs9Sq7OC_T2zCg5crZf0de3B1OaBpxzJ0aDfjCjQEXQcfyC1nUNo2Uan1OUy5TIOAPOFXjnV5d6zVslbGzX5lyS/s1600-h/img+054.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195010851497368082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vLQ4qZkVK5FmxIrNgS4h2_Xn0DUKl4qUojmfAjy9iTbpOuaQdq9BVTs9Sq7OC_T2zCg5crZf0de3B1OaBpxzJ0aDfjCjQEXQcfyC1nUNo2Uan1OUy5TIOAPOFXjnV5d6zVslbGzX5lyS/s200/img+054.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />After the <strong>Grand Palace</strong>, we went to this small shop located on the opposite side to have a drink and something to eat.

This is an amazing temple and a must see. The Reclining Buddha is larger than you think.

We are not allowed to bring in our phones & cameras to take photos so I don't have any to share with you. It's worth a visit if you like to see antiques & collectibles.<br /><br />After the sightseeing trips in the morning, we proceed to have lunch at <strong>Bobae Tower</strong> food center. The Thai food here is nice & cheap.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXURcLECvQ34Q1MfLNdmMzdNTjF4Fp5C4S85LSYhtnJ0daaOoaV11VK5cbdJyh_hH2MMAffne_JEWns8UNjoXOTafvyGB_1Cv4CGMFMiqBjZNVncjHGPt3mXMN7evkl5dFyk4D8nW3SEJ_/s1600-h/img+094.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195013694765718114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXURcLECvQ34Q1MfLNdmMzdNTjF4Fp5C4S85LSYhtnJ0daaOoaV11VK5cbdJyh_hH2MMAffne_JEWns8UNjoXOTafvyGB_1Cv4CGMFMiqBjZNVncjHGPt3mXMN7evkl5dFyk4D8nW3SEJ_/s200/img+094.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qamQ8wxhYS6a5tsOsbmpmG3OECFQEJJxeZu4vND8-YBUnCUEf_E7jVVpYppdxXsow-rlKmlmfu-a3EsnykNLqQLPo4JSox7jqqKw8LkZx9sfN8ckzQnK_iP4oAZihRj0u1QaYbhFwWhJ/s1600-h/img+095.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195013699060685426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qamQ8wxhYS6a5tsOsbmpmG3OECFQEJJxeZu4vND8-YBUnCUEf_E7jVVpYppdxXsow-rlKmlmfu-a3EsnykNLqQLPo4JSox7jqqKw8LkZx9sfN8ckzQnK_iP4oAZihRj0u1QaYbhFwWhJ/s200/img+095.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubVA0kj7ynF7o_NhOUxpVbndU5ZUng-rUwSsK0zrPjMFIyqaimcFPGuWglQnu4g2HuvldQLboNDPj2sDM-ezqLnmOAk4ssmZEL_9hNpIkW4PuOBnzGJ9cx5OsjntcdCvySUXuvhG5BI1U/s1600-h/img+096.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195013703355652738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubVA0kj7ynF7o_NhOUxpVbndU5ZUng-rUwSsK0zrPjMFIyqaimcFPGuWglQnu4g2HuvldQLboNDPj2sDM-ezqLnmOAk4ssmZEL_9hNpIkW4PuOBnzGJ9cx5OsjntcdCvySUXuvhG5BI1U/s200/img+096.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QWlxEsIaeFBdhZdQ9j-FlALUoUrnY-drgwRGQjeZ-7SqYJPvt_bKf2Cvm-TRcdfvaxGvkQS4-7qi1Ujfynp6bj-GuconhMDVJOVbLatnPWaAd90eRCI-5gF5cZOEwaJpYIzqmrRdWn5F/s1600-h/img+097.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195013707650620050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-QWlxEsIaeFBdhZdQ9j-FlALUoUrnY-drgwRGQjeZ-7SqYJPvt_bKf2Cvm-TRcdfvaxGvkQS4-7qi1Ujfynp6bj-GuconhMDVJOVbLatnPWaAd90eRCI-5gF5cZOEwaJpYIzqmrRdWn5F/s200/img+097.jpg" border="0" /></a> <em><span style="color:#cc66cc;">(Clockwise from top left) Stewed Duck Rice - 45baht, Fried Rice with Shrimps - 35baht, Seafood Tom Yum Soup - 60baht, Fish Ball Noodles - 40baht</span></em><br /><br /><strong>Bobae Tower</strong> is a wholesale center where you'll find a lot (I mean A LOT!) of clothing here, I especially like the kids clothing, the designs are so nice & since it's made in Thailand, the price are cheap compare to the similar one we get in KL. I bought a whole lot of kids clothing (mainly for Kaith) & also a few mini tee for myself at wholesale price, total spending was about 1300baht.<br /><br />Everybody was so exhausted after many hours of walking & shopping and hence we returned to the hotel to freshen up.<br /><br />In the evening we went out again to <strong>Pratunam</strong> area, thinking to do some shopping in <strong>Platinum Mall</strong> but only to find that most of the shops in the mall were closing?? I was wondering why because I learnt from the travel website that the mall opens from 10am - 10pm but when I was there only I realised they actually opens from 8.30am - 8pm. But even we were there around 7.00pm plus, there were not many people and some shops have already closed or starting to close, sigh.... makes me no mood to continue shopping.<br /><br />For hubby's sake, we then proceed to the <strong>Pantip IT Mall</strong> next door, the place is huge but frankly speaking, it's nothing close to Low Yat Plaza we have in KL, so hubby wasn't keen to shop there also and as we decided to head for dinner, it started to rain heavily, what a bad day for us! :(<br /><br />After the rain stopped, we walk to Ratchatewi Seafood restaurant to have our dinner, which is located on the way back to our hotel. The food is ok, and hubby & I took the Chang beer as it was so cheap, a big bottle at only 55baht.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0-C6JsSozgHkgffmIhAFKKzUMHjAM1U_Ciomwsv4FOwEJofMLdlBQunqpHg7AlXW6_Ad0et74CSr3Cej62LLhDb79CeKQmKdkVzJj-pOGskBeNE8qzJN_QSDZYXZFoE99gtetARBfcCJ/s1600-h/img+101.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195022134376454882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0-C6JsSozgHkgffmIhAFKKzUMHjAM1U_Ciomwsv4FOwEJofMLdlBQunqpHg7AlXW6_Ad0et74CSr3Cej62LLhDb79CeKQmKdkVzJj-pOGskBeNE8qzJN_QSDZYXZFoE99gtetARBfcCJ/s200/img+101.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrk9x0gvmeKF4hY4YwKQVqTiXz2dH18zCoM6xcCELuzoguzyBardHmonWYaG-Vfe7Rjs_e1tX4433xlLISMcDxciev_UP525_qdYOBcAQMqZw0dyKSjZSCK6jVl85bPQOyapjMkcvxBa1/s1600-h/img+102.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195022138671422194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrk9x0gvmeKF4hY4YwKQVqTiXz2dH18zCoM6xcCELuzoguzyBardHmonWYaG-Vfe7Rjs_e1tX4433xlLISMcDxciev_UP525_qdYOBcAQMqZw0dyKSjZSCK6jVl85bPQOyapjMkcvxBa1/s200/img+102.jpg" border="0" /></a> <em><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Fried Squid - 100baht, Broccoli with Shrimps - 80ba<span style="color:#cc66cc;">h</span></span><span style="color:#cc66cc;">t</span></em><br /><br />Later that night we went for massage next to the hotel. The place is small but neat, not the hanky panky one but the proper Thai massage. I went for the Foot massage for an hour at 200baht while hubby went for the Full body Thai massage for 2 hours at 400baht only. The massage is so nice & relaxing and I've planned to come again tomorrow for pedicure because it's 150baht only! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7
