I'd never been the kind of girl who've had big dreams, specific dreams tagged on to a number in life - Like that of getting hitched by 2x and becoming a mother by 2x years. Nevertheless, I did have a secret wish to have a first child before 30. And some time along the way, I lusted after a datejust and also secretly hoped to own one before 30.
This year, I celebrated 3. And I might have just gotten what I asked for. :) Except for the weight part.
The Pullman team delivered a cake to our room right before I arrived in BKK to join hubs.
Here's where we spent each morning doing laps (for the great foodienanza day ahead) and soaking in the glorious morning sun. Treasuring the moments cos gotta hang around in a baby pool back in SG!
And this is one reason why we decided to leave baby at home...Sorrie D, mama needs to get the body aches (you gave) fixed. I am sure you ll understand! Oh.. that cracking was soooo SHIOK! Papa didnt quite enjoy the massage though.. and was watching his HK drama throughout the whole session -_-"
Highlights of the trip:
FIRST time on a TUKTUK! Too much food! FREE FLOW bar snacks and drinks from hotel 5-7pm! Very cheap Swensens and DairyCream icecream! Bought one too many treats for Murphy because it's cheaper there!
24 packs of snacks, 6kgs of kibbles and 3 packs of frontline plus for SGD 166
Some tips for travelling around in bangkok:
1. Cabs are relatively cheaper than BTS is you are in a party of at least 2. They dont go beyond 100 baht by meter for most of our destinations.
2. After taking so many cabs in BKK, we found the blue cabs more reliable than the pink and orange ones. They dont haggle for price and will on the meter when you board.
3. Dont fall for ANY tuk tuk scams! They usually quote an unbelievably low price, then will ask to bring you to 'one shop' and they will tell you they need the gift coupon to pump petrol or you 'no buy, just see'. Insist on getting only to your destination. They will then quote you a much higher price of at least 10x the original quote. We usually just get off the tuk tuk and find another one.
4. Be patient when finding a cab/tuktuk. It may mean asking at least 10 cabs or tuk tuks before you get an honest one. We had a hard time trying to get out of Chatuchak on a Saturday evening. Most cabs quoted us around 300 baht for chatuchak to MBK or didnt want to go to MBK! We eventually found a blue cab who used meter and it only cost 82 baht!
5. Lastly, its good to read up on and be aware of tuktuk scams so you know what you are expecting.
