Celebrated my most memorable birthday at Bangkok this year. My
gf had actually planned a trip to Bangkok on my birthday so to celebrate it with me. But the special thing about my birthday is the surprise that both my Nestle colleague from Thailand gave me. Thanks
alot to
Ying and Mod for making my birthday this year so memorable.
It did not cross my mind that both of them were at the airport waiting for me to arrive just to give me a surprise on my birthday. Had actually emailed them my schedule almost 6 months ago and did not expect that they will still remember that
i'm going to Bangkok for my holiday. It as
truely a surprise for me to see them at the arrival hall. Spend 2 days with both of them and they are so kind to take me and my
gf with her sis and her sis husband around for 2 days. It was really timely as 4 of us do not know where to go to at Bangkok.
Ying and Mod had actually save the day.
Taking us to places like
Chak tu Chak market and Dream World. Was really great. Spending 2 of their rest day just to take us for site seeing and also for shopping. It really touches my heart that they did all that for someone who they only met once in a workshop.
Day 1
Surprise pick up by Mod and
Ying at the airport and then we proceed to the hotel for check-in. We then went to
Jusco for a Japanese Buffet at
Oishi. Food there was great and the variety was more then what i can find in Malaysia. We then proceed to
Cha tu Chak market which we spend most of our time shopping at the market. According to Mod we only cover 8% of the market.
Cha Tu
Chak Market is Asia biggest market. We then proceed to some temple and
Sao Ching Cha. We then had our dinner at Love restaurant which has a very beautiful view. All ended with a heavy rain which i think flooded most part of Bangkok. Last stop Health Land massage which was really good.

Day 2
Mod and
Ying came and pick us up at 10am, where we headed to Dream World.
Ying actually negotiated a better rate for us to enter Dream World. I was told by Mod that
Ying told the Dream World management that i will be working in Nestle Thailand next month and they gave us the discount. At Thailand our Nestle name tag can sometime serve as a discount card. Something new i learn. Spend the whole day at Dream World and
Ying took some good photo. Had our dinner at a
chinese restaurant where they have to shout when serving the Noodles. Quite cool.

Day 3
Wanted to go to the four face
Buddha at town but was cheated to go to an old temple called Lucky Buddha and then a jewelry shop claiming to sell The Buddha Heart. Luckily we did not spend any money there. Ended up shopping at Platinum Wholesale Mall the whole day. Went back to Health Land for our second massage of the trip and Mod joined us for the massage. We then proceed for dinner with Y and Mod who brought us to this fine dining restaurant. It was a great dinner.

Day 4
Nothing much but packing to go back. Tried to make a second attempt to go to the Four Face Buddha but again the
tuk tuk wanted to take us to the jewelry shop. We were smart enough to reject it this time.
Overall is was a great and surprising trip for me. And was great to strengthen my friendship with
Ying and Mod. Thanks
alot to both of you. And not to forget My lovely
GF and her sis who made the arrangement to celebrate my birthday with me. Hope she'll get well soon as she's a bit tired and sick after the trip. And for all who wishes me at
Facebook and
Friendster, thanks
alot for the wishes. I know that it's the technology that reminded you but it's your effort to wish me that means
alot to me. Thanks. And to my dearest
GF do get well soon my dear.....
