bangkok aftermath

Hi i am back! actually i was back since tuesday morning but my ill body has kept me from doing anything cept sleeping and sleeping and more sleeping even when i cant sleep. So the bed has been my permanent home for three days straight. Well, the moment i got back, my body decided to bombard me the whole deal- fever, flu and sorethroat..it really sucks. I havent even talked to people and properly devoured my buys.
Anyways, the trip was pretty decent i must say, not exceedingly awesome but well, decent. At least bkk did not fail me. For one, shopping was mega awesome. So now i know people are not kidding when they say they buy something every 5mins. At certain points, it was somewhat like that:) I can never fully describe the euphoria when us three girls chanced upon the roadside vintage store at Kao San. It was racks and racks of vintage goodness. Think granny day's out but as a road side store and at a fraction of the price. Passerbys must have thought we were lunatics, grabbing anything that delighted and shouting across at the top of our voices. Ahh..damn fun it was. Lets see, and then there was Platinum and Chatuchak where i busted most of my allowance at. Platinum's like Fareast but 10 times better cos its massive and things are relatively cheap. Chatuchak we went for 2 days straight cos there was just too much ground to cover. Give us another 2 days and we still would'nt have been able to cover the sprawling place. Ahh..i am missing that place already......And to show you the extent of e damage done, i busted all 700 i brought, PLUS i had to withdraw cash along the way AND exchange sing dollar to pay for my excess baggage. haha i initially had 7kg worth of excess but after thorough packing and squeezing, it came up to about 3.hee.....but i was the only fool who exceeded:(
Okay so apart from the shopping, another plus was the dirt cheap drinks. Beer was plentiful and everywhere we went, cheaper than soft drinks even. So needless to say, drinks were a norm every single night, cept for one. And we could even afford opening a bottle at one of the pubs. haha! never in a hundred years would i open a bottle in sg...and it was so funny cos we were their first customers to actually open a bottle!hahaha!
Tempted to go? haha..i know for sure i'll be heading back.

okay back to reality, i am back and ill and that sucks. Well, pictures will be up once i am in the mood, tho i really did not take that many:(
