Flyyyying off to Bangkok with AT this Sat! Am so sooo excited :D

Some of you have been asking me on formspring abt hotel recommendations in Bkk.
So I'm sharing 2 of the hotels that I will be staying at for this coming trip :)

I tend to get fussy and finicky when it comes to accommodations.

I dont really have a budget, as long as it's reasonable, Im okay!
To me, there's these 3 factors that I'll always when booking a hotel room.

Cleanliness is the most important of all! IM DEAD SERIOUS.
I cannot stand hotels with odor. Worse, yellowish stains on bathtubs/bedsheets.

Location have to be populated. Cannot be some ulu ulu place like dark alleys wts.
Might not be in the heart of town, but well, must be easily accessible.

Looks. Im a sucker for boutique hotels. It makes me happy when I wake up
to a beautiful room or walk into a nice lobby after a long day.



Last Christmas, I booked a room at Riverview Hotel to countdown with my girlfs.
For some reasons, we're totally undemanding at that point of time, everyone very chin chai.
Our only criteria: It have to be in town/Clarke Quay.



BUT WE'RE SO WRONG.
THE HOTEL WAS DISGUSTINGLY UNPLESANT.

When I first enter the room, there is this "damp/moist" carpet smell
which is comparable to a pri 5 kid's PE shirt.

The entire night, I cant stop whining abt the sticky carpets and smelly toilet (like public toilet)
I had to call the reception to bring up room-fresheners for us, but it doesnt help much.
ALSO, the swimming pool tiles are yellowish grrrz

I'll never neverrr go back to Riverview Hotel anymore, unless they revamp the entire hotel or smth.
Such bad experience pfffft :(

Nowwwww if you're going Bkk, here's two of my hotel recommendations!!

B U D A C C O
This boutique hotel is pretty in pink; O' joy!!
All you pink lovers, expect yourself to be in awe when you stop into Budacco.
As a pink lover, I was squealing away when I first stepped into the lobby hahaha

I like the fact that Budacco lies in the heart of Pratunam.
It is a super plus point bcos in just less than 30 steps out of the hotel, its a bustling street :)
The hotel is situated at the end of a small alley. But fret not, its very safe there!!



OUR VERY CLEAN, VERY PRETTY ROOM. Feels so much like home!
Besides hot pink rooms, they offer a few other neon colors like blue, green, yellow, purple etc

The last trip was with bff. Lobby pink, room also pink. Everything pinkkkkk!!
For this trip, I specially left a comment that I prefer a blue/green room. Talk about variations haha



Also, the hotel staffs are veryveryvery friendly and helpful, like seriously very nice to us wts.
Bff & me are are so guilty bcos we forgot to tip them before we left :'(

I MUST REMEMBER TO TIP THEM THIS TRIP! trollface.jpg

M Y S T I C P L A C E

I haven't stayed at this hotel before but after doing my hmk, I think I should give it a try.
SO YES! I'm spending my first two nights there this weekend :D
In fact, I'm pretty much sold to the hotel the moment I saw photos of the rooms.

Awkward moment when you took a couple of photos of your friend
and he/she requested to see the photos.
And you passed your camera or iphone to him/her.

The next thing was......................................
He/she went on to view all the rest of your photos
that have nothing to do with them, without asking you.
(those photos taken way back but still in your memory card)



I dont like I really dont like. Unless you're my ultra bestfriend,
else, privacy please. Good friends also need to respect privacy rightttttt.

What if inside my memory card got naked of me?
Say I camwhore while munching on pineapple tarts in the toilet?



Unlikely. Okay. But what if there're photos of my friends "zhao geng"?
Say after clubbing they used my camera/iphone to snap.
Dont say wont happen okay.
That time my friends was drunk and they pretty obscene photos.

Like that how? You see all? :(

But I thought of ways to combat these kind of people.
I'll usually just popped excuses like
1) Hey pass me my cam, I wanna take photos *snatches camera back*
2) Aye why you take so long, I also wanna see *snatches camera back*
3) Help me take a photo now can!! *waiting.. and waiting*
But usually it wont work bcos they'll say "later" or they'll do a quick runback to see all your photos.

Thats not all. I'll end off with..................



I say this gently for the sake of poking them lightly
so that they know its not supposed to IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Till date, the worst reply Ive gotten
"Photos only what. Also not anything important."

A lot to say about your courtesy, dude.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Woohoooo its the year of Drrraaaaaagon!
I haven't thought of how to spend my angbao money hehe have you?

HELLO FLASHIES HAPPY TWO OO ONE TWO!!
*pops confetti*




CNY is just 4 days away and Im panicking bcos Im so not prepared!
So many things to do but so little time!! I foresee the next few days as hectic.

Just talk abt tmr (Friday), Ive a checklist to complete. Im going to...................
1) Get my haircut from town
2) Buy my _____ wallet (LIKE FINALLY WOOHOOO!!)
3) Fly to collect my cheongsum
4) Off to work (for tequila)
5) Reunion dim-sum supper with my uni clique

The next day is not any better! Meeting BFF for cheenatown early morning. Im super looking
forward to it bcos its our annual love affair!! Every year must go there tgt one *paste kisses*
Will fly to church right after. And guess what, after church, I GONNA WORK AGAIN.



Yes smth happy to share! After weeks of hardcore searches (for cheongsum),
I finally set my mind on smth decent and simple.

Theres a lot of onlineshops out there selling nice cheongsums,
also alot that sells slutty-looking cheongsum, either too short or too sexy. Brrz
Like those ah tiong hostesses wear in hokkien night clubs one.
Not naming any out, you guys go check it out yourself.



AND AND AND Smartie is going to bake cranberry cookies RIGHT AFTER cny countdown.
Must shou-sui anw one what, might as well do smth productive. Right??


OOTD!

This lovely shade of pink, is the EXACT same shade I had in my room nowww.
Gives me pink strawbie marshmallow dreams #likealovely
And the kitty mirrors are damn cute, I wantz!


Btw I was looking to buying more concealors bcos
1) My bb cream is finishing & I dont plan to replenish them anymoreeee
2) I dont wanna smack thick foundations on my face

So I got curious abt the different colours of concealors and its amazing to
find out what color cancels away which which skin tones

Yellow: cancels purple to blue
Purple: cancels yellow
Green: cancels redness

............. brilliance.

Concealer should always be 1- 2 shades lighter than our actual skin tone.
Better still, a yellow base rather than pink. But I gonna try out
different concealers and see which covers best hehehe!

OKAY THATS MY SUPER RANDOM POST, everything no link one.
But you still read right? Kay lah byebye, see you on cny!!
Cant wait to blog abt my wallet and cheongsum and new hairdo and and and.............................

It's the last day of 2011, like a finally!!!!!!!



Im trying my best to type out all my resolutions for 2012
but I dont think it's quite possible to complete the list.
Well, all my resolutions were to become better.





A better daughter, a better lover, a better bestfriend, a better girlfriend,
a better listener, a better colleague, a better student, a better woman.








And yes, Ive been sourcing out for bread pudding recipes. Finally found a decent one whooppee
Gonna bake some bread pudding to start off 2012.

You cannot hate me because Im slow to blog!!

Im busy camwhoring everyday, every minute, every seconds.

Im more active on twitter (FLASHPOPS) and even formspring (also FLASHPOPS)

I'll do a longggg blogpost pretty soon BECAUSE MY BESTIE JUST GOT MARRIED!
Meanwhile if you're bored, head over to my formspring to ask me qns xoxo
Rushing out to meet bbg Fiq & Alvin for some high tea lovin'

Na! Dont say no photos in my posts. This is my new crave. I love pig intestinessss and ru dan.

The ulcer on my lower lip is getting bigger and bigger. And bigger.
AT says its bigger than the size of a watermelon seed.
Tell me abt it. I cant chew cant yawn cant talk. The pain is x1000!!

Ive been having this thrice a week.
Yes, every other day! Srsly hooked to everything in the plate.
Century egg with ginger, crispy prawn crackers, pink chasiew, fried egg roll, orange cuttlefish....
The beehoon, the chilli and sweet sauce.... HOW TO STOP THIS ADDICTION??

Helpppp Ive not found any pretty bridesmaid dresses.

Scrolled over 600 pcs of dresses from Forever21, Im seeing stars *_*
Now I can do stock take for then already.
The dresses are either too slutty (bodycons and more bodycons) or
the colour (closest I can find is cream) isnt right.
