# no title

Every morning when I arrive BTS Nana to go to work, I will pass by this beautiful private garden. The owner is so good that he/she share it to public. It's open to public for some specific hour. I remember closed at 7pm. Not bad. They have some very nice and soft music played in the garden as well.

Took this photo yesterday when I'm going to work.

I'm now in the housekeeping department and I learned to fold the swan! Finally!! There's more like dogs, elephant and so forth, but at least I know the common one! *mine is on the left!!*

Tomorrow is the day of Bangkok shutdown due to riot is going to happen. I hope the BTS and MRT will be like normal. Pleaseeee......

Dear tourist, please be reminded not to join and keep your distance if you don't want to be injured. We don't know what will happen there during manifestation. Oui? Be safe! And keep yourself updated using google! There will be 20 sections of Bangkok will be closed as well. Be reminded!

Hey, I realized something yesterday while doing grocery in tesco. We, the tourist can claimed back VAT tax of 7% if we spend above 2,000 baht! Be aware of your grocery spent! :)

My condo's facilities

I'm too lazy to walk up to the gym because I've been feeling pain in my abdomen.

As you can see in the photo, the ground floor is a mini mart, first floor is empty and the third floor is the gym. If I'm not mistaken, they have dumbbell, treadmill, the bicycle thing and so on. 

Mini playground for the children.

Mini one sided basketball for whoever wanna play.

That's the block I lived in.

I don't know how many units per block. There's two types of unit in every floor. My unit has little balcony (I called it pantry) but big space inside, another unit with bigger balcony but smaller space inside.

The pool. Is long-shaped.

Children side.

This condo is not really far from BTS but far from city centre. Not much attraction nearby too. There's supermarket but quite far. It takes us about 15 minutes to there. As you can see in my previous post has a polka pink bag right beside the shoe cabinet, I used it for grocery. Easier to carry my stuff.

*I'm smart*

Notre premiere maison

Bienvenue!

This is where I stay now in, @ City Home, Udomsuk. 10,000 baht per month. Many of my colleagues said its expensive, I agreed but it's because we're here for only 4 months but we hope we can stay more because we wanted to get permanent job before we headed back to France.

18sx. My man is preparing lunch.

On the right is the shoe cabinet and then washroom.

Voila, toilet and scroll down for shower room.

It's not really small but I think it just nice for one person and a baby.

Next, living room. 

We have a separated bedroom with living room. This is the door, my dressing table and our bed.

Next to bed, window.

Opposite bed, wardrobe and pantry on the right.

And we had a washing machine. This apartment includes facilities like gym and swimming pool. We'll go there later and I'll take some photo for you guys to see.

Bangkok!

Finally, arrived Bangkok safely on last Saturday, 4th of January. But I'm still stuck in hotel for 3 days.

I haven't made any decision for which apartment to take yet as I wanna ensure that the apartment that I've seen in website matches the real one.

*Walked the whole day, my toe nail broke.*

Spent the whole noon looking for the apartment based on the appointment without any lunch and got only dinner at around 8++pm. The agent later then said 4 months might be not possible to be rented. Enric and I got quite disappointed as I forgot to told the agent in advanced regarding this matter.

We stayed for another night, couldn't move in on Sunday, so we added extra night which cost only RM80 per night and not really far from MRT.

The MRT here is quite expensive. From MRT Suttisan to MRT Sukhumvit cost me 40 baht. Walao-wehh....

The next day, agent called regarding @ City Home is allowed to rent for 4 months. Thanks to the agent!

So me and Enric decided to stay nearby BTS and took the apartment which cost us 10,000 baht per month. Yes, very expensive but we don't have any choice. Anyway, we decided to save money so I came across of buying seasonal pass for BTS/MRT. I believe this is applicable anywhere as I had it in Malaysia and Enric had it in France.

Introduce you, rabbit card. I have not discover this card yet but I have seen a machine with this rabbit card can purchase many things like McDonald. I don't know how because it's in Thai. LOL

Beside the rabbit card, I have Tesco Lotus card to buy meal. They don't take cash. LOL yes, you can keep :) and redeem the balance back.

However, back to rabbit card. I bought 50 trips for 800 baht, I saved a lot but after BTS On Nut to bearing, I have to pay additional 10 baht due to private station. LOL I still save some though.

I had a hectic day. I wasn't aware about my ATM card that I have to activate before I travel outbound so I could withdraw my money. WTF anyway, it was settled. I need to contact my bank to do it. Luckily it wasn't that serious that I had to travel back Malaysia for it.

If you're unaware, go activate you ATM card before traveling outbound. If you're already outbound, contact them directly. Hope it helps. Voila!

This Sunday is going to be my off day, I'm going to swim, wet market, mini shopping outside my apartment, clean the house. :D

I'm not sure if I'm working on Monday as it's a massive shutdown in Bangkok. Big possibility the MRT and BTS might shut down too. :( hope I will be off on that day too. So I can enjoy more!

Anyway, I have to stop now. Been feeling up and down, homesick, ATM problem, gastric for 3 days.

It's killing me. Goodnight people.

Pay & collect

Good day!

So now I'm in Taylor's University. Not to attend any classes but paying fees for my training. How funny was that. The fees paid was to invite those speakers from the industry to give a speech. But for me, they have been invited previously for our training and now, they repeat the same thing. Why paying twice for same thing? Waste of time and money.

Anyway, so I'm here with my last meal (hopefully, with finger crossed) now in Zhia's Kitchen.

With my favorite Jasmine Geen Tea and Bitter Gourd Soup.

Am so gonna miss the meal here because of the so Chinese cuisine and biggest pork restaurant. LOL

Next stop, Thailand Embassy to pick up my visa. Have to wait half an hour because they're having lunch break. Once we get our visa, we are heading back home because I have not stuff my shoes in. I think that I reached 30kg maximum right after I stuffed everything in. So sad that I can't bring my bolster. Hopefully the room that we rented has bolster!

We're checking in hotel for a night because we have not made decision which room to take and we are visiting the room that in our list on Saturday itself when we reached. 3 apartments we found. Hopefully everything is what we saw in the internet otherwise it would be a waste of time after 2 months searching. I found one with 8k baht, apparently it was a con because we asked for the owner identity as a proof due to we have to make a deposit of 4k baht to reserve the room and promised to send it in 20 minutes time. It turns out an hour later, the owner does not respond anymore. So sad. It's so nice and big and it is near to MRT!

Anyway, hopefully everything will be settled on Sunday! Please pray hard for me!

Got to go! Need to queue up for getting in. More and more kiasu people is queuing up especially the three ladies we met yesterday. LOL. I'm so mean. Sorry.

Lunch treat by boyfriend to family

Well, Enric decided to bring my family for a lunch in his favorite restaurant, Din Tai Feng. Somehow I couldn't managed to get him to like Dragon-i. So sad....

I can't remember how much we ate, everyone were so full. Still, their fried rice is the best. Enric can't resists it. Ever time we visited, he will order fried rice, xiao long bao and siu mai. I can even know what he want to order before we enter.

Of course the dishes that he ordered is famous dishes in this restaurant. I prefer Dragon-i's xiao long bao. Mainly all I know that people who dined Dragon-I first will say it's better and vice versa for Din Tai Feng first trial. Hahaha... Not really sure why but the xiao long bao in Dragon-i is very nice and has a lot of juices in it.

A little photo for some entertainment! Just in case you're bored with my flabbery words.

Mommy with the mascot. She has a lot of poses but she wanna remain low profile. LOL

Tadaaaa! Oh, on the day itself before Christmas, his mother sent me a heritage book of Toulouse.

Might be that I have not visited all the place there and I need more informations.

Not only this book she sent, bus a lot of saucisson! Oh my god! I'm drooling right now! Someone please grab me a tissue to wipe my mouth please!

Everyone should try saucisson when they visited France. It's not like "lap cheong" (Chinese dried sausage). Heavenly food!

It's not really that expensive tho. It costs about 3-5 Euros each. I prefer zero-fat saucisson. Taste more meat as those with fats taste like normal Chinese dried sausage. Sorry that I don't have any photo of it but I'll fine it in my Instagram later!

I got to go now. Have to wake up early tomorrow to clear my study fees and collect my visa from Thai embassy. Stay tune for my gossip!

À demain!

Hello 2014!

Hello! I know it's a little too late but I still remember to post it ok?

Anyway, Happy 2014 everyone!

May there will be a bundles of joys and happiness awaiting right ahead of you!

Just a little recap before I'm going further to my resolutions! (It will be in new post!)

Just right after my exam, my batch-mates organized a farewell party in Berjaya Times Square service apartment. It was a penthouse we were in. 

The view from the balcony. My boyfriend took a video of it apparently I'm using iPad to blog and I'm not sure how to upload it. Never mind. You guys are smart enough to google! Right??

Our drinks and boosts! Awesome? Carlsberg, Redbulls, Tiger, Coke, Sprite, nevertheless the spirits! We had plenty of snacks too but that's not the main point. Ahah!

We had so much fun, great time spent, enjoyment and craziness. The best study life ever! But it is ended, I'm graduating soon.... After training in Bangkok. Anyway, cheers for the graduation!!
