is every woman’s best friend, it helps to create self satisfaction which makes you feel pretty and confident whether when you go out for a date or for an interview. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I'm sharing this because I had learnt it the hard way that it is important to keep your makeup "modest" or else it could be your worst nightmare. You never realize how bad it looks until you became everyone's teatime topic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">These are some of the BIG beauty mistakes that I would like to share to all the ladies:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">1. Lipstick as Blusher</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Blusher is important to give you a lively feel. However, never ever apply as the substitute for blusher even if you are running out of blusher, unless you are attending a dress up party acting as a clown. The greasy characteristic of lipsticks are just not made to applied on the cheeks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">2. The Wrong Foundation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">By having a pimple prone and oily skin, I have always been careful in selecting the rightful foundation and concealer for myself. Not only that it shouldn't clog pores, it should always match my current skin tone. Applying the wrong foundation colour on your face will definitely fail the makeup look you looking for, either its too chalky or you are going to have a chocolate face. A wrong foundation is very noticeable as people will notice the difference of the tone from your face, neck and hands.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">3. Bottom Fake Eyelashes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Everyone wants to have long, naturally beautiful eyelashes. By wearing fake eyelashes sometimes is more efficient than applying mascara. However, a pair of fake upper lashes is enough. Bottom fake eyelashes are for the anime character. In real life,it will just make your eyes look crowded ad hides the colour of your eyes. My advice is just stick to the upper lashes and select the nice length which fits you.</span><br />

Prepare to climb up 200-step staircases. Personally do not think that going up pylon lookout point is a must, since you can get a great view from the harbour bridge, right in front of the entrance of the Pylon Lookout (and it's free).<br />
<br />
5. Pylon Lookout - Oz Jet Boating<br />
How to get there: 20-25 mins walking distance to Circular Quay<br />
Fare: $75 (We manage to get discounted price at $38 through groupon :D )<br />
<br />
Great experience. Thrilling 30 mins ride with astonishing view of opera house, harbour bridge and royal botanic garden. We got all wet after the ride. Prepare yourselves with towels and spare clothes.<br />
<br />
6. Royal Botanic Garden (To Mrs Macquarie's Chair, get the best view of Sydney)<br />
How to get there: 10 mins walking distance to reach the garden, another 30 mins walk to get to the scenic spot<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
So, Australia trip.... my first trip outside of Asia. A trip that I have been waiting for more than a year, I couldn't say that it is one of the best trip I had, and it probably was the worst trip due to what had happened to us when we first arrived.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things doesn't go too well for us when we touch down at the kangaroo land. Why? Because we have been held for more than half an hour by the immigration officer. They checked our return flight ticket, our cash, took away our identity card, passport, and even handphone. To be frank, I was really pissed at that moment. We told them every detail they need, we all have a job back in Malaysia, we showed them all the online tickets that we have bought for the trip and still we were left there for more than half an hour. It just doesn't feel good when you were not being trusted and the people were talking to you in a sceptical tone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thinking about the incident just made me mad again. But like what my friend said, we already paid for the trip, we need to move on and try our best to enjoy the city. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, we were good to go. For those who rely heavily on internet, my first advice is to purchase an OPTUS 3G prepard simcard, it comes with a 500MB data per day @ $2 only. Especially for those who are travelling in group, it can be shared among each other with hotspot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I just can't believe that things can go from bad to worse. Most of the trains in Sydney was currently under maintenance and will be back to operation after 2 days. But we were suggested by the airport staff there to take a cab instead as there are 4 of us. The taxi fare most probably won't be exceeding $60, and the bus fare is already $14 per person.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And it prove that the staff was right, we manage to reach our hostel, Jackaroo hostel King Cross with the taxi fare of $55.50. Slightly cheaper than what all of us would have to pay for the bus ride. For those who wants to know how's the taxi fare system in Sydney, I shall enlighten you. It starts from $4 and rise by 10 cent every 3 seconds, which is kinda scary. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have to say, you can't be more picky about the hostel location. It is just beside, literally beside the train station. (http://kingscross.jackaroohostel.com/) So, after drop our bag at the hostel, we are good to go for our first destination, St. Mary's cathedral. We could have travelled from Kings Cross Station to St James Station. But since the train station is closed. For those who plan to stay in Kings Cross, always walk to the Bayswater Rd to catch a bus. Look for a bus start with 32+, It will get you to Elizabeth St where you can walk to Hyde Park or the St Mary's Cathedral.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm just so glad that we bought that prepaid simcard. google maps do come in handy. We seek for directions from google maps and figure out where we should get off the bus. </div>

I guess I need to highlight this, despite how the immigration officer treat us, we met a very nice bus driver. Probably we didn't do enough homework, as we never plan to travel by bus, we realize most of the people are using an OPAL card (please get one from any convenience store), we asked the bus driver how much is the bus fare and we were told not to worry about it. So we got a free ride, yahoo!!!</div>

Exiting the Queen Victoria Building, we continue to walk along Market St to reach the SEA Life Sydney Aquarium.

Our first day in Sydney started pretty rough, but our journey just get better and better. The fireworks spark in the dark and finally chase all the clouds away from my heart and certainly anticipate for another great day in Australia.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3k7u8LVeE9RpWDwhM7UOy256fufWP0sBaBb-qSDtCKfMpE8pUBneiGq5V06LOvTYs9_BWHUOAbZi0rWkxkWjQ3bjW_LSQd1pc632jk8akZF9iiEuGB2WWU-kxNoshkuJ6voRjF5aUA/s1600/DSC_7327.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>I will definitely recommend Korea folk village as one of the must-visit in Korea. It is such a beautiful place, full with performances to let us understand the Korean culture better.</div>
<br />
To get there from Seoul, you need to take subway line 1 to Suwon station. It will take you about an hour. Once reached Suwon, get out from the subway station and walk towards the tourist information centre and check for the timing of free shuttle bus to go to the Korea Folk Village.<br />
<br />
On the other note, Suwon is where famous Korean actor - Joo Won and soccer player, Park Ji Sung came from. :)<br />
<br />
So there are a series of performance throughout the day in Korea Folk Village. Be sure to check the timetable and identify the performances that you want to watch. In my case, we didn't manage to watch all the performance as we are busy taking pictures around the villages.<br />
<br />
These are some of the performances that we managed to catch up: <br />

Well, I'm practicing it. Travelling has been part of my life and my most favourite thing to do.<br />
<br />
So, I got to visit the place I had been dreaming of going since I watched the Korean drama Winter Sonata, Nami Island. I only managed to visit it during spring season though I thought the place will be most beautiful in winter.<br />
<br />
It took around 2-3 hours to reach Nami Island from Seoul. We departed from Hongik University station.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;">Proceed to Sangbong Station (line no.7) and take Gyeongchun Line. It
takes about 45 minutes to reach Gapyeong Station. Please prepare to stand throughout the 45 minutes of the ride if you are taking the train. Based on my experience, the train is crowded with the elderly. From what I noticed, it seems like they are all prepared to go for a hike or something. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;">It is a nice experience taking Korean subway, there are salesman who actually walking from coach to coach selling their products but my legs do get really painful standing throughout the train ride.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;">Once you get to Gapyeong station,<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><span style="color: #1b1003; line-height: 115%;">take a taxi to Namiseom parking lot and take the ferry from Namiseom Dock to Namiseom Island.</span></span><br />

It is too much hassle, and from what you can see from the photos, most of the scenic spots were ruined due to vandalisme and it is over crowded with tourists.</span></span><br />

Visited Korea earlier this year, never had the time to blog about it, suddenly feels like sharing my tour to one of the most beautiful island in the world, Jeju Island, it has been selected as the 7 wonders of the world.<br />
<br />
We hired Mr. Won's service as our tour guide around Jeju island. Excellent service I would say, he was highly recommended by a lot of bloggers or trip reviewers when we were doing some research on tour guide service in Jeju. He can speak english, mandarin and japanese. He is a very friendly person and we really enjoyed our time in Jeju with him.<br />

<br />
<u>Maeklong Railway Market</u><br />
One thing about visiting the railway market, you don't want to miss the train for the world. According to our driver, he said the normal schedule for the train to pass by the railway market is 8.30am. However, the train in has never been on time. So, the driver came and pick us up at 6.30am. We reach there after 1 hour ride, we got lucky that the traffic was not bad at all~<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
So, here we are in the Maeklong. Nothing much to see actually, all we were doing was taking photos and waiting for the train to come.<br />

<br />
the price of the stuff along the "river" were all hiked up, it's really not wise to get any souvenir there. But you can try out the food there, I found that it's quite interesting to have food inside a boat, I tried the mango pulut, coconut drink, pad thai, as well as soup kuey teow (can't recall the name in thai), they pass you the bowl to eat inside the boat, and after you finish, the boat driver will bring you back to the same place to return the bowl, I was wondering how they gonna collect the bowl from us earlier... haha<br />

After the trip, we take a walk around the Damnoen Saduak market, and we found this place called Paew's Souvenir, everything here is fixed price, it basically has everything that you have seen from everywhere around Bangkok. The price is very very cheap, when we compared the items to what we have bought before at other tourist spots, only we realized the real price of the souvenirs.<br />
<br />
Definitely the best and highly recommended place to buy souvenirs.<br />

The elephant rider suddenly brought up a box, trying to convince us to buy some souvenirs from him. According to him, he need some extra money to feed the elephants... sigh~ he make this pity face which made me and my sister can't resist but buy a bracelet from him at 300baht... But I really like the bracelet though... hehe<br />
<br />
We took another 2 hours to get back to Bangkok due to the bad traffic, really thanks to our driver for his service all day long :)<br />

Right after visiting Terminal 21, we head over to Hua lampong station through Metro in order to get to Chinatown (Thanon Yaowarat).<br />

I thought that I could get there by walking, but figured that it would be a bit dangerous to walk at night. We plan to get there by taxi but too bad we din manage to grab one. So, we end up to get on a tuk tuk who plan to charge us for 100 baht for the trip, which is clearly overpriced. But we have to accept it since we were all famished.<br />
<br />
On our way, the tuk tuk tried to convince us that Chinatown is not opened and want us to go to another night market instead!!! This is the 2nd time in Bangkok that someone tried to trick us that some popular tourist spot did not open. The driver keep telling us that chinatown is not opened on Sunday. And we were almost fooled as along the way, all the shops were closed, I really thought I did not do enough research and Chinatown is really closed.<br />

He stopped a distance away from Chinatown and claimed that we were already there. We almost asked him to turn around but luckily I managed to spot Chinatown from far and insist that we will walk there.<br />

Anyway, the main purpose for me to be here, no other than having dinner at T&K Seafood restaurant. The place is so crowded. You need to get a number and wait for your table. We waited for like half an hour. Anyway, it's so easy to order food over there as the staff can speak mandarin and a little bit english too.<br />

The food there is really delicious and more importantly, cheap!!! All of these with drinks and white rice only cost us 1000 baht!! Totally love it.<br />
<br />
After that, we went for massage!!! oh my god, I miss my life there. We went to this place called Dr.Reflexology which is just opposite side of the restaurant.<br />

We left chinatown around 10.30pm and grab a taxi to get back to the metro station. It only costs us 40baht, was cheated by the tuk tuk driver :(cloudeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02095417225608072554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997155611624448769.post-22035052802472927692013-07-07T04:08:00.000-07:002013-10-10T07:11:28.472-07:00Bangkok Beyond Car Rental ServiceJust to blog a little bit on my experience of using Bangkok Beyond car rental service, as per promised.<br />
<div>
Maeklong railway market, damnoen saduak floating market is actually quite far from the bangkok city. With the congested traffic, i really do not want to take my chance of taking public transport to get there. I figured it's going to take forever.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I've been researching on the available car rental service in Bangkok. Bangkok Beyond quoted 3950 baht for our day trip to railway market, floating market and also to the elephant camp. We think that the price is quite reasonable after doing some comparison. We chose Bangkok Beyond in the end as they are able to provide discounted fares for our boat ride in floating market as well as elephant ride. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For boat ride, it's 800 baht per boat (6-person boat), and 500 baht per person for the elephant ride. Just some extra information, while i researching, quotation that I get for boat ride, it goes from as low as 400 baht per boat up to 650 baht per person!!! So, a tip, just keep asking around for quotation until you found the best option.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, our driver provided a really good service. He showed up on time, being really patient with us who spend a lot of time shopping. He even bought water and some little snacks for us along the way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The whole trip starts from 6.30am until 3pm in the afternoon.. I would rate 5 out of 5 for the service provided.<br />
<br />
For those who interested for the service, you may visit their website for more details: <a href="http://www.bangkokbeyond.com/en/">http://www.bangkokbeyond.com/en/</a></div>

I would say it is one of the must visit shopping mall in Bangkok. However, instead of shopping, I think most of the people will take most of the time taking photos instead. Everywhere in this shopping mall is a photo spot.<br />
<br />
Each floor in Terminal 21 represents a city, from Carribean, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, London, Istanbul, San Francisco and Hollywood.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It's the third day of our trip. And we are heading to the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market!!! As per the name indicated, it's a weekend market, so it's only opened on Saturday and Sunday. From the info I read from some websites, it was opened on Friday as well, just that not that many stalls/stores are opened.<br />
<br />
So, we departed from our hotel, take the BTS skytrain to Mo Chit station. To get to Chatuchak market, you can get off at skytrain Mo Chit station or Kamphaeng Phaet station exit 1 & 2 through MRT.<br />

The Chatuchak market is huge, really huge as I was told. Therefore, after we reach Mo Chit station, we took a short walk to Chatuchak Park MRT station in order to get to Kamphaeng Phaet station instead. There's an tourist information centre in Kamphaeng Phaet station in which you can get a copy of Chatuchak map, which come in handful later when we start to shop in the market.<br />

</div>
Asiatique, a new hangout place for the Thais since April 2012 and also a new tourist spot for the tourists. It's an open-air shopping area along Chao Phraya riverside and also embedded with entertainment show, e.g. Calypso Ladyboy Cabaret and you may wanted to try out the Ferris Wheel as well.<br />
<br />
So, continuing from my last post. After visiting wat arun, we get back to the Tha Tien Pier. With the one-day pass we bought earlier, we get on the tourist boat, and cruise all the way to Asiatique pier. Oh, please be reminded that Asiatique only opened after 5pm. Alternatively you can also get there from Saphan Taksin skytrain station. Get off skytrain from saphan taksin, walk to the central pier and there is a free shuttleboat to fetch you to Asiatique. It's about 10 minutes ride and the service is until 11.30pm.<br />

Our next activity, the Calypso Cabaret Show, well, I guess you should never miss a ladyboy show when you're in Thailand. But if you asked me to rate it, I would say 5 out of 10? Definitely not worth my money, there's a few highlights of the show but 900 baht for that? hmm... you might want to think twice about it. I booked the ticket online, and therefore I get a 300 baht discount which makes it 900 baht instead of 1200, and when you did online reservation, it comes with a scoop of free ice cream which you will have it at the dining hall and finish it before the show start.<br />

After the show, we continue to shop around in asiatique. You can definitely get cheaper stuff in Chatuchak, but it's still worthwhile to shop around here. I love the environment and the warehouse-like design of the whole places. Manage to get a shirt and a dress though.<br />

The operating hours is until 12.00 midnight. But we were all so tired after touring the whole day, so we left at around 10.30pm , taking a ride of the free shuttleboat. Too bad we couldn't stay longer as the night has just started here in Asiatique<br />

After visiting Wat Saket, we departed to our next station, which is Khao San Road. Although I read from a few sites that Wat Saket and Khao San Road is within walking distance, I decided to take a cab instead since I didn't manage to get any clear directions on how can I walk to Khao San Road. And I'm glad that I made that decision as the 2 places are not that near to each other after all and the taxi fees is only around 40 baht.<br />
<br />
I love Bangkok's taxi because there's no haggling, they follow meter and the price is really cheap compared to tuk tuk, cost saving especially when you were travelling with four people in a group.<br />

We shopped around and had our breakfast before departing to Phra Arthit Pier in order to continue our journey to visit all the main attractions along Chao Phraya river. We asked for directions, and were informed that it is really near. But in the end, it is not that near anyway, it took us about 20 minutes to reach there.<br />

When I was researching for the Chao Phraya tourist boat, it was mentioned that the operating hours for the tourist boat is from 9.30am to 4.30pm. But I found out some good news!!!<br />
They are now operated until 10pm!!! from Phra Arthit Pier all the way to Asiatique pier. But the route to Asiatique Pier only open after 5pm. The fees for the tourist boat is 150 Baht for a day unlimited ride.Ticket can be purchased from Central Pier or Phra Arthit Pier.<br />

First stop, Maharaj Pier, where we disembark to go to the Grand Palace. Once you left the pier, walk staright and you will walk past a market until you see a place surrounded with white wall, the Grand Palace is just inside, so keep walking straight until you reach the main entrance. However, I am the idiot who thought the entrance is on the other side, and I turned right, walked for 15 minutes, and ended up at Wat Pho instead.<br />
<br />
Wat Pho is big~~ the reclining buddha is the most famous buddha statue here. The entrance fee is 100 baht and you are entitled for a free bottle of mineral water.<br />

Afterwards, we get back to Grand Palace. The entrance fee for Grand Palace is 500 baht, which is actually quite pricy for me. But the place is huge~~ too bad that we don't have the time to visit all part of it. Upon entering the Grand Palace, you will be given a travel guide.<br />

Afterwards, we get to Tha Thien Pier with the Chao Phraya tourist boat. Next stop, Wat Arun. One of the most popular wat in Bangkok. Once you get off the boat, make a u-turn to go to the next ticket counter to buy your ticket to get on the ferry to go to Wat Arun which is just across the river. This will only cost you 4 baht.<br />
<br />
It is really fun in Wat Arun, because we decided to challenge ourselves to climb upthe very very very steep staircase. The scary part is actually when you trying to get down from the top. We saw a lot of tourists standing there, hesitating and trying to strategise on how to go down.<br />

By the time we left Wat Arun and get back to Tha Tien Pier, it's already 5.30pm. I am so glad that they extend the operating hours of the tourist boat and open the route to Asiatique. So, from Tha Thien Pier, we just sit all the way until we reach Asiatique.<br />
<br />
Asiatique is another great place to be visited. I truly loved the place but I'm gonna elaborate more about this place in my next post. Stay tuned :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Bangkok's traffic is congested all the time. I guess that is why you really need an alternative type of transport besides a four-wheel drive in the city. One of the preferred ways of transportation for the locals in order to avoid the traffic jam in Bangkok is the Khlong Saen Saep canal boat.<br />
<br />
When I read the reviews of Saen Saep canal boat in tripadvisor, it really scare the hell out of me. e.g. The boat is always overload during peak hour, the smell of the canal is terrible, stories like people who fall into the canal end up died due to infection, etc.<br />
<br />
But in the end I decided to take a ride as it is the most convenient way to get to Wat Saket. My hotel is just in front of National Stadium BTS station (<a href="http://cloudee88.blogspot.com/2013/06/accommodation-in-bangkok.html"><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://cloudee88.blogspot.com/2013/06/accommodation-in-bangkok.html</span></a>) which makes it very near to Sapan Hua Chang station.<br />
<br />
<b><i>How to get there from National Stadium station</i></b> : Walk towards Soi Kasem San 2, follow kasem san 2 all the way to the end of the road, you will pass by Jim Thompson House on your left, then turn right. Keep walking until you reach a small pier.<br />

<br />
To get to Wat Saket by canal boat, you need to get off at Panfa Leelard station (the last stop). If you are waiting for the boat from Saphan Hua Chang station, you need to get on the boat which is moving towards your left side.<br />

The fees is only 10 baht!!! So cheap!!! And it only took us less than 10 minutes ride to reach there. But you will notice that the canal is really dirty and it stinks!!! Anyway, we got lucky as we travel on a Saturday morning, which is not a working day, that's why the boat is actually quite empty. One thing about canal boat, it is more to a local way of transport, so when you get on the boat, you might realize that you would probably be the only foreigner there.<br />
<br />
By the way, once the boat reach, remember to get into the boat as fast as you can, they don't wait, the minute you get in, the boat will speed up and move to the next station, so it's actually no good for those who have weak legs.<br />

Once reach Panfa Leelard station, you are very near to Wat Saket already. You will notice a white bridge on your left, walk across the bridge and keep walking for 5 minutes you will reach The Golden Mount. Don't worry, along your way, you will be able to see signboards which point you to the golden mount.<br />

There are so many Shrines in the city of Bangkok and I'm going to write about the Shrines that I have visited.<br />
<br />
Not to miss, Erawan Shrine.<br />
<br />
Erawan Shrine is the most popular Shrine in Bangkok. You can judge it from the crowd and the number of incense sticks used. It was said that the four-faced Brahma God will grant all your wishes. I could not miss the opportunity to pray at Erawan Shrine.<br />
<br />
And if your wishes did come true, the people will normally return to Erawan Shrine again to thank the god by hiring a group of performers to perform.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
How to get there: Take BTS skytrain to Chit Lom station and walk through Ratchaprasong skywalk towards Central World. Central World should be on your right and Erawan Shrine would be on your left.<br />
<br />
Trimurti Shrine, Pray for love.<br />
<br />
I came across an article which recommend this place as the place to wish for love. It is extremely crowded on Thursday night 9.30 as the people believed that the God will be at the shrine at the hour. Too bad that my trip in Bangkok is from Friday to Tuesday, I missed the golden opportunity. There are stalls selling roses nearby. From what I noticed, the prayers will bring along roses and pray with 9 incense sticks.<br />
<br />
Ganesha Shrine, Pray for success.<br />
<br />
Ganesha Shrine is the perfect place to pray if you wish for a successful career or life. Trimurti Shrine and Ganesha Shrine are located side by side right in front of Central World.<br />
Do drop by when you are visiting Central World.<br />

I have been considering for a very long while before I made my decision. Khao San Road is the popular place for backpackers, but it's rather far away from Bangkok city center and therefore it is out of my consideration.<br />
<br />
Thus, it's down to Siam area and Sukhumvit area. Sukhumvit area is famous for its nightlife and Siam area is the perfect place for shopping. It's all based on your personal preference, I chose Siam area in the end because I am more to shopping. But no matter where you stay, just make sure that you chose a place which the transportation is really convenient, e.g. close to BTS skytrain<br />
<br />
Thanks to my friend who recommended us this hotel, Ibis Siam. This hotel located right next to the BTS skytrain National Stadium station and 5 minutes away from saen saep canal, which is so convenient to us. Especially after a whole day walking around sight seeing, the first thing you wanted to see after you get off that skytrain is your hotel.<br />

With Bangkok Art & Culture Center right beside of it, MBK center and Siam Discovery just across the street, and Tesco Lotus is just 10 minutes down the road. (we bought a lot of Lays from there back to Malaysia :P). I couldn't think of a better place to stay in Bangkok.<br />
<br />
The famous Lub.D is just beside Ibis Siam as well. I did plan to stay here, but I'm not too fond of using shared bathroom and their private room is not available during my stay in Bangkok. (p/s: I do think that the price is a little bit pricey for hostel, but considering the strategic location, and its rating on trip advisor, maybe it's worth it)<br />

<b><i>How to get here from DMK airport</i> : </b>just grab a cab, if follow meter, it should be around 300 Baht, but there is a 50 Baht surcharge for taxi service from airport.

Bangkok is famously known as Shopping Paradise and it certainly worthy of the name.<br />
<br />
Staying in Siam area is the wisest decision I have made. All the main shopping malls in Bangkok are located in Siam area and everything is just within walking distance for me.<br />
<br />
Right across the street from my hotel, there's the MBK centre, located just next to BTS skytrain, national stadium station. It's basically a bigger, more spacious "Sungei Wang" in Thailand. Good place to shop, I manage to grab 2 bags at 200 baht each there.<br />

Walk across the pedestrian bridge in front of MBK centre, and it will lead you to Siam Discovery. I basically just walk past Siam Discovery, since there are so much more shopping centre in the area, I figured that I could skip this one.<br />

Right beside Siam Discovery, is Siam Centre. As I was trying to exit Siam Discovery to go to Siam Centre, we pass by the ticket booth selling the entrance ticket to Madame Tussauds wax museum.<br />
<br />
Siam Centre, for youngsters, it's definitely a great place to visit. The whole shopping mall is designed in a way to attract the younger generations, each and every shop has a different design.<br />

And right next to Siam Centre, is Siam Paragon, the most high-end shopping mall in Bangkok. Not a good place for me, at least not for me, Prada, Gucci, Hermes are just way out of my affordability. But we did walk around and have some dessert at Ground Floor, where they have the food court and restaurants.<br />

Our next stop, Platinum Fashion Mall. This place is quite a distance away from Siam Paragon, so we decided to take skytrain to Chit Lom station and walk back towards Central World Plaza. You will pass by Erawan Shrine, which is most famous and visited Shrine in Bangkok. I'll elaborate more on this in my next post. Once we walked to Central World Plaza, we decided to take tuk tuk instead. Heard a lot of stories about how the tuk tuk driver haggle, but they tried to charge 150 baht for a place which is just down the block. >.<<br />
<br />
But it's gonna be just an experience, we promised to ourselves this will be the one and only time we taking tuk tuk. We did took our advantage to take some photos with the tuk tuk.<br />

Wholesale shopping!!!! Platinum Fashion Mall is my paradise~~~ we can't help but bought a lot clothes here. In terms of the price, you might be getting cheaper ones in Chatukchak market (at least this is what I think), but the you can get clothes with better quality here.<br />
<br />
Finally, at night, we visited Central World Plaza, the largest shopping mall in Bangkok and in South East Asia if I'm not mistaken. It's about 10 minutes walk away from Platinum Fashion Mall. We had our dinner there and visited the famous Naraya outlet. OMG, the shop is full with tourists, so damn crowded but we still stay to grab some as souvenirs. Someone was telling me that the Naraya shop in Central World is the biggest, I couldn't verify that but it's definitely bigger than the one in MBK, in front of Grand Palace and in DMK airport.<br />

It's been more than a year since I'm back from Taiwan, but yet, I still haven't finish blogged about the trip. Guess I'm really really lazy...</div>

Just gotta finish what I have already started, so let's continue with the journey to the 2nd largest city in Taiwan - Kaoshiung, which is located at the southern province of Taiwan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We reached Kaohshiung by train after we get down from A-li shan. 1st thing we do, check in. The B&B that we had arranged is just 5 minutes walk from train station, so it's pretty convenient. I think I miss this part from my previous post, but erm, I did some stupid thing in Taichung, I left my phone there!!!<br />

Next, we took MRT and went to the XiZiWan station (西子湾站), from there, we took bus and finally reach the next tourist spot, Former British Consulate Residence at Dagou. It's more like a museum, but the view there is simply breathtaking, especially during sunset. There's a university nearby too.<br />

Although is in winter, and it's really a very windy nite, still, we decided to try out 阿婆仔冰,which is really famous in KaoShiung. Apparently, it's a really cold night, and we end up to be the only customer in the shop.<br />

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center; ">the concert is good, makes me love Eason more, cause of his sense of humor and I just love to listen to him singing.</div><div style="text-align: center; ">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">I said that the concert is good, but not using the word "great". This is because I kind of dissatisfied with the song choice he performed during the concert, he didn't sing most of his popular songs, there were many songs that I am not familiar with. And, he made quite a few mistakes during the concert. But, anyway, overall, I'm still enjoying it :)</div><div style="text-align: center; ">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It seems like there is a milk tea fever going on in KL, there are so many milk tea franchises in the city. And I got the chance to try 3 of them during my recent visits to bukit bintang area.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Ochado(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: small; ">茶の道)</span>

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3.

Located at the main entrance of Sungei Wang Plaza. What I can say about this shop is that, the workers are really really polite. And sometimes I feel that it is a bit overly polite....haha...somehow it makes me feel a bit awkward. :P</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All in all, these 3 milk tea franchises are equally good. There are some differences in the menu, but the price are almost the same. I love all 3 of them, just that I think their normal sugar level are a bit too sweet for me, next time when I buying it, will request my drink to have only 50% of sugar level. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">

So reluctant to leave the cinema after the movie ended, almost left the cinema in tears.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The 1st time i ever knew about "Harry Potter" is when I was 13. The first movie was amazing, I totally addicted to the whole story after watching it. Since then, I borrowed Harry Potter books from my friend. Started to read from Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone until Harry Potter & The Order of Phoenix. Stopped reading after that as I can't find a "supplier" who can borrow me the books and me, myself can't afford to buy a book at that time. (Really need to strengthen my financial planning skill, :P)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a very complicated feeling as we witnessed the begin and the end of a "Harry Potter" era. I just hope that the story of Harry Potter will be continued. But I guess, everything will always come to an end. Thanks to J.K. Rowling who wrote this wonderful story. Thanks to Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and pretty Emma Watson for the companion throughout all these years. We had seen the 3 of them on the big screen for 10 years, it feels really sad as there is almost 0 possibility that 3 of them will be on the big screen together ever again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1a7BIv77A625SfX2ePwgMq-SNhess1fn8GJLQwLKHnrgO1MhliWZ5moSyrDBZWWuOxmqdw0IyRNx6uY1Wpw-HHFwHBZUio0GKb4czxG8QSuO5a4emFKjKL3SWhAJL2HrV3p6OBRfMXA/s320/Daniel-Radcliffe-Emma-Watson-Rupert-Grint-%25E2%2580%2593-First-screen-test.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630000654022286738" border="0" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>When we 1st met them</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQHyJomMaFDUw_7_MrXHzZUKpTwvtqpegx4D44ZVpAllT-XqSQ1JKBsfbrEbmX7TOJMZbOK19In2hQu0THrBRAlZ6BPVwhpB06ZuDoO6XisXduDd9OOgA1rrm9glKP6Auzh5CMoGiclA/s320/Daniel%252BRadcliffe%252BHarry%252BPotter%252BDeathly%252BHallows%252B7OBnjbgRKLYl.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630000649960461698" border="0" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>After 10 years.
