Super Hectic Day.

CHINESE NEW YEAR is just less than a month away. I just have so much things wanted to do. Today I just feel like I had been a super woman. Waking up in late morning and rush to supermarket and grab items for my baking. When reach mum home, without resting, I quickly get my mum to cut n dye my hair. While dying my hair, this ia the best time I start preparing my egg tart crust. It really took rather long as making tart crust need patience as it had lots of steps involved and need to refrigerate a few rounds before using. With this spare time waiting for it to harden, is time that me and my cute little niece making her favourite chocolate chip cookies. This naughty little will just like to involve in every steps but just for less than 5min. Luckily her fun was to roll the dough and place on the baking tray. Otherwise I think it will take ages for me to complete. Finally once her chxolar chip cookie done ( but doesn't allow me to eat any) I can continue with my egg tart and at the same time making my every year favorite cornflakes cookies. Is kind of tiring to bake 3 different things continously but the effort just worth when I smell n taste it out of the oven. In the next few weekends I be busy more on household chores and preparing food to welcome guests. So what will you be doing in the upcoming weeks.?

Shopping Trip In Thailand

Finally I had plan to Thailand for holiday after hearing so many people say how wonderful it is to shop there. Well it is a yes and no for me. To purchase things at absolute cheap price is what my target for that 5 days. Anything above SGD10 (abt 250baht) suggest to rethink before buying, as I believe we can get almost the same price back in Singapore. Well before I introduced the place to shop, good suggestions for the hotel to stay is at center point pratunum. Price and location is rather reasonable especially for the size. Me and hubby got the delux room for abt SGD80+ per day. The room is absolutely huge as they have additional sofa bed (gd for those that one save money for a family of 3~4), and a small kitchen for u to reheat the food. Absolutely a plus point for this as you can buy all sort of street food back to ur room to eat. Don't worry, bowls n plates are available in the room for our usage.
Staying in pratunum is definitely a shopping paradise. Items sold here are mostly at whole sale price.
The first day of my shopping trip is definitely to tour around the area.
And definitely not to be miss is the morning Pratunum market which is at the back street of the hotel. ( when I say morning, is really like 5am in the morning).
They sell real cheap clothing and accessories range from 80 baht to 160 baht if you get a minimum 3pcs.
Those that buy and sell in the morning are mainly local which heard they often get it and sell it at their shop in shopping mall. So forget about bargaining with them as their business is way too good and they dont feel like giving in for such small qty we purchase. The shop owner will start to unpack at around 8am, and change a new group to put up clothing for their business... and this time you will start to see price went up to minimum 100 baht for wholesales price.

The next area to shop and not to be miss is the Platimum Fashion mall. Is a huge wholesales mall where we can almost get things that we see at Chatuchak. In fact, I feel it is a better place to shop then Chatuchak as the place is cleaner, more latest fashion items and price is the same as Chatuchak.

And overview of where to shop

Many people prefer to get TukTuk or taxi to travel around at Pratunam, for me, I prefer to walk. Because only by walking you are able to view all the small little stall that just setup along the road.

Especially when the night fall and most of the mall close around 6pm, that is the time where the roadside stall start setting up and time for bargaining.

The whole trip to bangkok is really wonderful especially seeing my luggage filled with stuff.

So here is a photo of some items I bought.

And Thailand is a place really worth to go every year.

Whoohoo... We won in Ladies Bowling Champion

As per the tittle stated... Whoohoo... We won the Bowling Champion.
But frankly speaking, we are not expert in it.
Don't expect me to hit like 200pts per game... if so, I will start changing my job to be full time bowler. (haha)

But getting to Champion really need to put in some effort. Especially I'm the lousy type that don't even know how to walk and throw properly.
Strike and spare is usually by my lady luck of the day. Imagine the points I get can get as low as 85pts/game... haha then you shall know where my standard is.

Our first training for team selection

Enjoying our 2nd training session

The first training session, our WEC was so enthusiastic that we would like to practice 3 games.
By the time i start the 2nd game, my back and tight start to cramp and walk like an old lady.
This is really a tough sport for me, but after getting the hang of it, I'm choosen to represent our team base on overall scoring I got forth in place.

Getting a place in it seems to be a nightmare for me as that mean I'm the lousiest in the team which may drag my whole team down. So secretly I ask hubby to guide me one night, and he start shaking his head... I can't be that bad right.

Finally the actual day arrive and I start to feel the pressure especially my team leader is determine to win the champion. Oh gosh, I hope i wont pull the team overall points down.

Every ball throw I need to take a deep breathe and focus really hard on it.... and tada.... I make it.
Me and my leader had the same top score in our team and overall we are individual 2nd placing.
With that, our team had make to the team champion which make me finally relax.

When we determine to do something, focus on it, and we sure can make it.

If there's a will, there's a way
