Bangkok trip 2014 Day 2

Basically the second day was a full day of work. The only thing we went out of the factory is to have lunch. Amiss our short lunch, I personally think that our lunch location is quite unique. Basically, we are having lunch on top of a floating "sort-of" boat.

The location we had our lunch

The food we had that day during lunch. Basically the "spotlight" of the lunch is their fresh from the river prawn, which is not bad in my opinion.

Later that evening after testing, we went to a shopping mall to have our dinner. Truth to be told, I can't recall the shopping mall name. Haha.. I think it starts with the word Mega ..... something. Didn't buy much except the Lay keropoks. lol... 

And I totally forgot to take the photos of the food, but I do remember the name of the restaurant is call Four Seasons.

Different flavours of Lay keropok

Bangkok trip 2014 Day 1

Last week I went to Bangkok for a short business trip 4D3N. The last trip to Bangkok was in Year 2008! Gosh, 6 years had pass!

So we took Malaysia Airlines to go to Bangkok and surprisingly our connecting flight did not encounter any delay, which is a relief. After reach the hotel, we went straight to our hotel to check in. The hotel that we stayed is Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel, which is located opposite the Central Mall Shopping mall.

The room is quite spacious and overlook the city.After we checked in, we went to the Central Mall to shop for a while before our dinner. For dinner on the first night, we was brought to Tawandang German Brewery for dinner. Personally, I really like the environment there. There is actually a stage in a big room and there is performance every night and every night, the performance will be different.

It is just our luck that day when we arrived is actually public holiday in Thailand, to celebrate their Queen's birthday. So, most of the performance is singing, and some shows. I have to admit the dancer are really good and their singing quality is good too. Just that too bad most of the songs are sang in Thai language.

Apart from that, the food that night is good too. Truth to be told, the food for the 3 nights I stayed in Bangkok had been superb. I am very confident that I gained much weight when I return back to Kuching.

The REASON I have been missing from blogging

The reason I have been missing from blogging, and I do not regret it. 

Time spent with my previous little baby is really important. The moment once passed will not repeat itself anymore, that is why I treasure every moment that I can with her. Being a full time working mum, it is not easy balancing work and family. On one hand, I have to work in order to earn and support a living, on the other hand, I would like to be able to see and share her progress of growing all the time. But I guess we have to find a balance. 

So, for the balance to exist, I would have to sacrifice the time I spent on blogging. Now that she is 18 months old, I can finally have some "me" time to blog this very important chapter of my life - motherhood. Presenting first time at Little Rainbow's blog, my little baby girl.

Kenny Rogers at The Spring

One day I was having this craving to eat western food and so hubby brought me to eat at Kenny Rogers at The Spring. Turn out the food is really "meh" only... I don't think I will come back here to eat again except for the muffins.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum sample

Today is a good day for me I guess. This morning check up everything went smoothly. I managed to post my registration letter, and have the last minute shopping to buy all the stuffs need for this month end/beginning next month. 

Apart from that, initially I plan to redeem the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum but the sales girl is super friendly. Not only she gave me Eye serum, she gave me three other skin care products:

1) Advanced Night Repair Serum
2) Advanced Time Zone cream
3) Advanced Time Zone Night cream

Lancome Perfume Sample (La vie est belle)

Went and redeemed this Lancome perfume sample. Try it but unfortunately, the smell is not my taste. The smell is more towards citrus fruity strong smell, where as I prefer floral smell instead of fruity smell.

Christmas 2012 from Little Rainbow

This year Christmas not much celebration due to my "condition". Nevertheless, me and my hubby went out for a nice and long movie "The Hobbit". The movie is not bad in my opinion, just that why oh why, must it be a trilogy? Meaning, after this movie, for the next 2 years, I will have to catch up with it else it will be wasteful watching the first part. 

Christmas gift

After the movie, we went in search for our presents. Hehe.. His is .... "secret". But very practical, and he seems to be very proud of his "no wasting" lifestyle. But for me, as every girl out there, we like something which might not be very practical (like we have a lot of it already but we still never seems to get enough, eg: bags, shoes, jewellery etc).

8 different lotion. <3 br="br">

After walking around the spring shopping mall for nearly 2 hours, I finally decided on my gift. And it is Crabtree & Evelyn hand lotion. :) Since it's festive season, there is a lot of promotion going on and all the gifts are pack and wrap up nicely.

I would like to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Porkies @ Jalan Song, Kuching

Porkies is one of the restaurant that serve plenty of pork (as the name suggested ;)) and variety of foreign beer. 

During the month of October, since I feel like eating pork rib, I suggested to hubby to go Porkies to have dinner. Viola, when we reached there, it's full of Oktoberfest theme, with Irish song, Irish waiters and waiteress, and Irish beer. However, due to my condition, I just order normal drink instead of trying out the beer. 

The food we ordered that night, pork rib, garlic bread, and mix grilled. In the end we cannot finish the food and leftover some fries and corn.

Garlic bread. Good in my opinion..

The so-called famous pork rib at Porkies. But the pork rib that night was not really up to standard, it's not that juicy...

My "full-moon" face

Mixed Grilled. Honestly the meat all taste nearly the same

Overall, the food was only so-so that night. I noticed that the food at Porkies do varies each time I ate there. Maybe there are several cooks and when you are lucky, you get to try the food from better chef than others. How would I rate this place, for the price that you pay, I think you can get better food at other restaurant. 

 

Online Shopping (Bag Organizer, Sewing machine)

Recently bought quite a few items through online. Nowadays it is getting difficult to really walk around the shopping mall and spend hours window shopping without feeling tired or aching here and there. 

So, I resort to online shopping. Keke... Just finger clicking and the items will deliver to your door step. Besides that, I noticed nowadays, most of the items sell online, you can't really find it around Kuching shopping mall. Or maybe it's available, but the price will be definitely higher than the price being offer online. 

So, the items which I have bought these few weeks are a bag organizer from milkadeal and a mini sewing machine from lelong.my. Overall both are good purchase, although I faced some hiccup (nightmare of shopping online without testing the product) with the sewing machine but the merchant is super friendly and helpful and solved all my problem.

I guess in future, I will resort to online shopping more and more with the busier/more hectic life ahead.

Mini Sewing machine from lelong.my

Benefits of online shopping:
1) More choices available.
2) Convenient, can browse and shop at home without going out.
3) Better pricing (Pay less for consumer) as online shop does not have to consider shop rental, staffs, maintenance, and utilities fee.


Disadvantage of online shopping:
1) No guarantee on the product quality. As we can only judge base on the picture.
2) Sizes might not fit or not according to the measurement stated.
3) Sometimes, restock might takes weeks or months although we have paid for it.

Europe's Leading Hair Remover and Exfoliator

So called! Europe's leading hair removal and exfoliator my fart gas lah... Saw this deal at Milkadeal and was super excited since it's priced at RM16.90 after 56% discount. So, I jumped in and bought it.

So, I started using it and it feels like a sand paper. not only is it exfoliate my hair, but it didn't really help to remove the unwanted hair. So, in the end, it is collecting dust in my drawer.

Krabi, Phi Phi Island Day 4

4th day of my holiday: this will be the last day at Phi Phi Island before we head off back to Ao Nang Beach. So, we decided to go easy this day and take our time to scroll around the beach and try on some of the foods.

Beautiful Beach

Taking photo for rememberence

Posting

While walking around Phi Phi Island, we saw this restaurant which seems to pack with people most of the time. So we decided to have our lunch here. The unique thing about this restaurant is that the wall is filled up with pieces of A4 papers with writing from the tourist that had eat here.
