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.

at sao ching cha with my dearMod 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.

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.
In front of Nestle head office BangkokNothing 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.....

your blog is one of the nicest I've seen - great description of your birthday - and I feel like I know you after reading all your article and seeing your great photos. The girl in the big red shoes was great!
Have fun in Bangkok! We (wife and I) life in the south of Thailand - Surat Thani area for now - and if you can come here - you should - it's very beautiful too...
We have a small pendant blog too - but we don't update it too much - maybe I am inspired by you now!
Good luck! Choke dee krup! :) Joy
Thanks. I have a friend at Bangkok with the name Joy also. Great to hear that someone actually enjoy reading my blog. Thanks for the testimonial.
Cheers,
