and so bangkok beckons! air tickets check, hotel check!!! i must say we've been pretty efficient (yay!) from the time it was suggested we should go on a trip until now..we only took 2-3 weeks! haha fantastic! well done everyone!!

yay anyways i'm in the office now (heh heh) and having nothing to do, i went to check out lonely planet online for some ideas for our itinery. check this one out:

Instant Energy In Bangkok
Try a glass of the light green juice extracted from sugar cane pressed through iron rollers which can be bought for 20 baht at streets stalls all over Bangkok. It’s high in calcium and phosphorus and absolutely delicious.

so, foreigners (maybe an angmoh) don't drink sugarcane juice. and when they do, they affectionately term it "the light green juice". delicious. and i bet u didn't know the good ol' sugarcane juice is high in Ca and K! i like!

Authentic Thai Food and a Touch of Class (Bangkok)
The chef at the riverside Sheraton Orchid faithfully prepares food in the authentic Thai style, so a small splurge on a buffet lunch can be a great way to sample a variety of savory and sweet dishes which one can then find at street stalls.

Sit On Low Plastic Stools and Eat Good Food (Bangkok)
On the footpath at the corner of Silom and New Road, in a milieu busy with road and people traffic, is an eatery that appears each evening which is very popular because the food is very good and also cheap.

heh it's all about food! the "sit on the low plastic stools and eat good food" one sounds like some nostalgic Singapore in the 50s era like what we see on tv drama serials right???

Thai-Chinese Food Gem
To eat where the locals flock in droves, head to Prajak in the Bangrak District. Cheap and authentic Thai-Chinese cuisine in humble surrounds. With streetside wicker steamers full of fresh dim-sum, it also boasts Bangkok's best roast duck on rice.

ok la that's abt it. i'm getting really sleepy man..btw let's meet up to discuss the itinery soon okay?

and btw, those of u who are aware, i mentioned the scholarship thing some entries ago. so here's an update. i decided to accept it. if i get accepted by medicine, the m.o.e pple are prepared to waive the damages so i don't hafta pay. and if i don't get medicine *touch wood*, i'll just go ahead with the scholarship. i feel teaching for 4 years isn't such a bad thing and i don't feel regret (yet) so i hope everything will work well.

ok babes hear from u guy soon.

p.s.: hello anusha!! pls keep the confirmation thing for our air tickets safely at somewhere u'll remember ok!! :) oh yes. dhanes!! YOU OWE ME ICE CREAM! (because u were late on sat. check the comment i left on ur entry). YES!!
