Arrival of Baby Kayden

Siewhui texted me to inform us of baby Kayden's arrival! We were so happy for her & visited her together with Xiaoqiang @ the hospital.

He's so tiny & adorable :) Perhaps our voices woke him up and he was feeling grouchy, lol! He kept crying and we had to leave him in the hands of his granny.

Contentment

Since young, mummy dearest always make sure that we eat our breakfast. Even if we were running late for lessons during schooling days, she will pack our breakfast and made us eat it on the way to school. Till now, be it staying on my own or going on business trips, I'll try to make an effort to wake up earlier to eat breakfast.

With the fave travelling partner :)

Took a peak at the hotel's swimming pool. Aw, I wished I'm here on vacation instead of working. Lying by the poolside with a glass of cocktail, woohoo! But then again, doubt I'll stay in 4-stars hotel when I'm travelling on my own, heehee! Rather save the money for more shopping :)

We had some personal time, as our flight was at 9pm~ Tried to change our flight to an earlier timing but no avail. Thus, we went to MBK. I always hear my friends talking about MBK & finally, I have a chance to see it on my own! This centre was named after the parents of the developer Sirichai Bulakul, Mah and Boonkrong, whose statues grace the ground floor.

Bangkok traffic is a shocker., it can take 20 mins to move 1km and it gets worse during peak hours.

Guess who we met in BKK? Tom Cruise ~ Madame Tussauds recently opened in Bangkok, so this was part of their roadshow. The 500-million baht attraction is the tenth Madame Tussauds to open worldwide, third in Asia joining sister attractions in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and first in South East Asia.

Late lunch/early dinner @ Coffee & Cream, a roadside stall before we made our way back to the hotel to pick up our luggages.

Time to head to the airport & home ~

BKK Biz Trip Jan 2011 P3

BKK Day 2, buffet morning spread from the hotel.

Not much of a variety, but morning tea is a good perk-me-up, especially given that we went to bed late last night.

We were famished when we walked into Taling Pling, one of the local thai restaurant that serve decent thai dishes. Irregular eating hours are the downside of business trip, it was 3pm when we took the first bite since breakfast. Mega love the Thai ice tea!

For dinner, we went to a restaurant that was recommended by the hotel concierge. He revealed that he will be bringing his GF to this place & will be proposing to her, heehee, so sweet :)

Where on earth do you see a nice and romantic restaurant?

I love such lamp posts! So Charlie Chaplin :) Would be perfect if I had my umbrella and a fake mustache.

Finally, we saw the entrance to the restaurant, which was nested at the end of the walkway. Given that we had late lunch, we went for desserts at this place.

This restaurant overlooks the river against the majestic backdrop of the Rattanakosin skyline. It would be good if you can get an outdoor view, where you can feel the gentle river-breeze against your skin and enjoy the majestic temple in full glory.

Headed up to Amorosa bar on the 4th floor for pic taking & also to enjoy the river breeze as we were sat indoor. I'm sure the view would be magnificent during sun-rise/sun-set. *mental note to plan a trip back if possible* Dunno if it was the effects of the breeze or the late night previously, but I slept like a log when I returned to hotel.

BKK Biz Trip Jan 2011 P2

The view from the hotel room, 23 floors up!

Lunch @ Coffee Beans by Dao! This outlet has made its foray into Singapore, known as Coffee Stars by Dao locally, located in Wisma Atria.

Finally have time for ourselves after a long day of meetings - found my fave mister donuts, yippee! Went crazy shopping @ Naraya, lol! Bought lots of stuff for our love nest, as well as pressie for Leecher. He always demand for his pressie whenever I'm overseas.

We went back pretty late & the usual cafes were closed for the day :( So we had dinner @ a pub/restaurant instead. Ordered snacks instead of main courses so we can finish dinner earlier & adjourned back to bed.
