    Thailand Trip (15th June - 19th June)

    Woke up around 8plus in the morning. Only slept for 3hours plus. As Jamie and I couldn't sleep. Till around 5, then we slept. Lols. Anyway, after preparing, headed to Changi airport with Jamie & family, Yang Yang & family and Jacob & family. Its a big group. There were 17 of us. 9 children, 8 adults, including me. Lols.

    After the check-in, waited at the bay to board the plane.

    Uncle's friend came with two mini bus/vans. Well, the vehicle is rented for 5days for this trip. Think its 2000 baht per day? Lol.



    Internet cafe rates are as cheap as 10 baht - 15 baht per hour. Which is SGD $0.43 - SGD $0.645 per hour! Isn't it way too cheap? Its like in Singapore, the average rate is SGD $2/hour. It is at least $1.50 cheaper in Thailand! O:

    Anyway, they fetched us to the hotel. After checking in to the hotel, put our luggages, headed out.


    Day 1

    Went to have dinner as we all are famished. Had fish, fried rice, shark fin soup. The fried rice is yummy! :) When the kids have finished their food, they played concentration. And it was noisy in the restaurant.



    Aftermath, went next door to the shopping mall to shop! :) The kids bought toys of course. I bought some stuffs for my friend. We bought sushi! And the sushi is super cheap. Guess how much is it? ..............
    ......
    ......
    It costs 10 baht for 1. Which is SGD $0.43 for one. Its like 20cents cheaper? Lol. Haha.
    Anyway, sales were going on too. Like up to 70% sale for Nike, Puma, Adidas, etc.
    Bought manymany tidbits, biscuits, drinks, and not forgeting, Chewing Gums & Bubblegums! :D



    After a long day, headed back to the hotel to rest. All 17 of us stayed in a 6people suite room. There are 3 rooms. So its each room for each family. Since the room is for 6people, so when there is knocking on the door, or the bell rings, the kids will rush into the room to hide. As the room can only have 6 vacants.




    Day 2

    Woke up around 8, prepared, and all of us went to have breakfast in the hotel. After that, off to Dream World. Reached there around 10plus. There were alot of people there.



    Our family dress code is Orange. Theres another family from Korea or Japan, their dress code is green. Haha. The kids have number on their back. According to their age and birthdays. :) Anyway, uncle friend's girlf came to 'guide' us. Awhile later, went in to have our fun.




    First stop is Water Fountain. :) The kids started to fold up their pants, and went to play with the water. Lol.



    Then continue walking. Next is Love Garden? Lol.



    The kids played Roller Coaster. Though its a small one, I didn't went to play. Cause I dont like to play? Lols. Well, the kids played 2 to 3 rounds of it.



    After that, we went to play Water Bumper :) Was paired up with Jomei. Well, the kids were having fun. :)



    Then went to fed the Eelephants :) The Elephants were cute and friendly. It also said Thankyou by crossing the back leg. So cute. Haha.





    Next, went to the Giant House. The things there are ofcourse very huge. Took manymany pictures. :)




    The kids went to play games at those game stalls. After that, had toilet break. After toilet break, had bubble tea and some snacks. :)



    Then shopped at those stalls. There were those hand waxing, soveniors, accesories, clothes, keychains, teapot sets, bags, etc.
    Javan wanted to look at goats. So Yang Yang, Yi Yi and I accompanied him.
    Well, uncle won a basketball game, and gave a teddy bear to Jolene.



    Went to have our lunch at KFC. The chicken is bigger than Singapore's KFC chicken okay. And its way yummy than Singapore's. Played adult Bumper Car with uncle, Jamie and the lady while the kids went to play Water Bumper. Then second round with 2 aunties, Jamie, and uncle. Had fun bumping people. Lol.

    Then went to shop around at those outlets while the kids were playing some games. Bought 4 tops! :)
    Its already 4pm in Thai time. So we walked back to the entrance.



    Well, the kids said they wanna play Roller Coaster again. And guess how many rounds they played this time. They played 4 to 5 rounds in a row. Thats crazy. Lol. Well, they enjoyed.




    After that, went to have dinner. Had egg, shark fin's soup, lobster, rice. After dinner, headed back to the hotel around 9pm. Rested in the hotel. My uncle, and 2 aunties, Jamie and myfelf went to the midnight market around 1am.

    It was kinda heaty. And I was wearing cardi. Lols. Shopped around. There are fake LV, Chanel, Gucci & etc. bags, purse and wallets.

    Most of the clothes there a similar to Bugis Street's clothes. Cause Bugis Street clothes were imported from Thailand. And ofcourse the clothes there are cheaper than Singapore's price. Bought a set of top, long wallet, hair bands.

    And there are a couple of stalls selling fried grasshoppers, worms, cockroaches, etc. Headed back to the hotel around 3am. As Jamie's legs are hurting and she's kinda tired already.

    Ohmy, what a fun and tiring day. Its a long day yea'

    Then went outside the temple to look at other buddha statues.
