MegaBangna

So, last Sunday is my OFF DAY. Actually is every Sunday is my off day. On the alternate week, it's Saturday and Sunday. I guess I'm a happy kid? Not really. Having off day in the weekend it's not really that nice as we missed out a lot of good promo, for example great deal promo for meal. Usually people provide this deal during off peak. That's why if you have off day during weekday, don't be sad. You can be benefited with many good weekday promo!!

Anyway, back to my story... I went to MegaBangna just to have a look. It's a huge mall with the joint of Big C (supermarket) and IKEA. How cold was that? Remind me of The Curve and Midvalley in Malaysia. Right now they're having great sales everywhere.

The very first apparel shop I went in. Super huge and many sales. I forgot the name. AIO something? Nvm, it's nearby the main entrance.

Can you guess what's this? No? I give you a hint. Young girls like to shop in here.

FOREVER 21. Don't ask me why. I was thinking for a few second why this shop look familiar but the name is a little bit different till I realized. LOL

REDBULLS. Only 10 baht. WTF? But not that sweet compare to Malaysia. You can actually find many product lower price in Big C. Now Enric is asking where is the Big C near to our home. Have to google map it later.

It's actually quite easy to get to this mall. It provides free shuttle from selected BTS. We are lucky enought to stay in Udomsuk, hence we can take free shuttle here at BTS Udomsuk. :D

Damn lucky right? It tooks about 10-20 minutes to arrive, depends on the traffic situation. Anyway, I might bring my friends here. Many great sales is happening right now!!

Is it haze or is it mists?


Last Saturday night, it was quite cold. Not only Saturday but the whole week. I have to wear my pajamas which is a sleeved knee length dress long hippy pants, covered with socks as well as jacket to keep myself warm. I'm like living in somewhere freaking cold but no, I'm in Bangkok.

The next morning, I was so surprised to see this....

Because normally I woke up at 6, I see nothing and when it's 6.30am, I don't look out the window. enric doesn't like bright when he's sleeping.

But this happen at 8am... Can you imagine that? It's like Genting Highland, Malaysia. Lol!

Today was just fine. The weather is not that cold anymore but somehow I'm like paranoid. It's not that cold but I felt it damn cold. I think I'm sick. I hope the weather at night is breezy so I can have a good sleep. I can't sleep in a hot night. It's killing me. Right now it's just moderate but I think it's a little bit warm and humid. I might not wearing jacket tonight.

I hope tomorrow morning will not be that cold! :D

Love that Red

So.... I've been transferred into Front Office now and I am required to put on lipstick. They said that this will makes me look more presentable as receptionist.

As many people know, I don't put lipstick except for some occasion. But I have been thinking to buy a red lipstick since last November until now, I must buy.

My colleague, who is a fan of Revlon (she have a lot of Revlon lipstick), recommended me to buy Revlon. She said that the color will not fade and it's having promotion at the price of 138 baht. Freaking cheap. I was so surprised. I quickly went to Terminal 21 mall two days ago and so coincidentally Enric will be later than 6 to meet up with me at the Asoke station. More time to shop!

I went into Watsons, searching for the best red and I found this!
It's only 178 baht. I didn't buy the 138 baht as the color is not bright and shine enough for me. I went to try it on the second day of work.
Sorry, am still in my pajamas. LOL

I don't know why it looks a little bit dark red but it's red, k?

I'm very surprise that the color really doesn't fade away!! It stayed! I only applied once, and it stayed up to 6 hours, if you're not eating of course. I have to eat in the between of 9 hours.

Tip to remove lipstick (any brand I guess, it works on Revlon): I used Vaseline to remove my lipstick. It tooks me to wipe my lips 2 times, with the repeating steps (apply and wipe). It depends on the moisture of your lipstick. I applied lip balm before lipstick because my lips are lack of moisture. I can't survive without lip balm. I think using Vaseline to remove lipstick is easy and safe as it is 100% pure petroleum jelly and zero harm to health. Once you wiped away the lipstick, you don't feel dry on your lips and you dosn't need to rub. It may hurt your lips cell.

Any way, this color is too awesome! I liked it so much and now I'm decided to buy another color when I got my first salary in Bangkok.

Right now in Watsons, they are having a great sales. If you're in Bangkok now, check it out! I believe you don't wanna miss out any great offers while shopping, right?? Despite allowing customer to choose the vouchers which portrayed outside Watsons, they're having "Buy 1, Free 1" promo too! Feel free to check out their website here for the direct link to Revlon to view available product!!(English is available on the top right)

Matter with landlord

I'm saving money for Valentine's so next month I'm going to be so pok-kai liao. Must save money and start dieting. Talking bout dieting, I've realized that I'm gaining weight. I think I ate too much during break time or maybe I've been in Front Desk makes me gained weight. Last week when I was in housekeeping, I make up almost 15 bed per day (the bed is bloody heavy, okay? It's hotel, not your home normal tilam). So from now on, I must start to diet. Not next month. LOL

I've even calculated how much I could save per month and it's only maximum 1,000 baht. I'm so broke!! It's only the balance after I've deducted the necessary expenses like transport, grocery and rental. That's all. WTF?!

I felt so frustrated when settling matters with the landlord. The electricity bill came on the 17th, earlier than we have expected and the bill was actually for last month consumption. As me and Enric just moved in, it is unacceptable to pay it although the amount is not that huge. We went to pay at the nearest 7 eleven and we were told that we're late and additional 40 baht penalty will be fined and the current usage is 180 baht. Total to pay, 300+ baht. What?!

I informed the agent and he said owner wanted to see the bill. Why? I don't know.

But this is what I think. I've calculated that the first bill received which 50 baht is the usage of 17 November to 17 December. Owner did not settle the bill and additional penalty of 40 baht were added as late payment. As current bill which 200 baht was received on the 17 January is the usage for 17 December up to 17 January. Since we moved in on the 6th, of course we pay the bill starting on the 6th. Takkan we pay all the bill for free for the owner. No right? So I divided the 200 baht to 32 days (17 December to 17 January) for a better calculation. I told the agent to inform the owner and I think owner have a thought of me trying to cheat money. Okay lor... I give you check. He wanted us to put it into mailbox but never pick it up as he said that he will come over on Tuesday/Wednesday. Now is Saturday, it's still in mailbox. Ha-Ha...

I texted the agent and inform that I'm not willing to pay another 40 baht penalty if the owner keep/leave the bill unattended. He said that it is ridiculous for arguing the 40 baht. Excuse me? I'm not arguing, I just wanted to have my right as tenant and it is my responsibilities. I don't want the electrical supply to be cut off. The person who is ridiculous is the owner. Cut off the tv channel without informing. I haven't complain GAO GAO LAT yet. And now wanted to check the bill just to see if we are trying to con his money. Please lah... RM30 only, is not really important for me to argue. It's the matter of word that the owner said will pick up on Tuesday but he did not. If my electrical supply got cut off, I will complain GAO GAO LAT.

Thought to be more....


Every morning routine to walk to the BTS instead of taking the bike which cost about 15 baht. Try to save money and keep fit, so I walked. So every morning, hundred of pigeons were to be seen.

Usually I don't scare them off. But mostly flew away, some stayed.

But one day I've decided to run! Hahaha! I'm so evil. And mean.

So, the manifestation still going on. As you can see the photo (below), they have a concert after 6pm. At 6pm, they sang their national song and continued with artist songs.

The stage and the supporters.... So crowded.

This photo were taken one in the morning I woke up. I don't know why I wanted to looked out from my window (usually closed with curtains).

One of my jobs but this only made if requested. For honeymoon.
Got this from departed guest. Thank you, you made my day!

Yesterday was quite a happy day for me as I got 60baht tips from several guest (sharing with colleague because I'm helping them out). And I'm happy that it was also the last day in housekeeping department. I enjoyed it but it's not my major. I prefer to be in the front line. :D

So, today were my day off and Enric said that his colleague recommended Mo Chit market. It is so hugged when I went there. (Sorry, no photo of the market...)

But you get to see me. LOL

Passing by the Victory Monument. Another manifestation area. Concert available too.

My outcome for the huge market? I only bought two singlets. =_=

Vespa! They have Volkswagen van too but since I prefer Vespa more and Enric advised, I took this. Two for only 100 baht!! Too bad I can't shop much. Enric doesn't seems to enjoy it.

Anyway, will discover more shopping malls and market very soon!! 

I don't know what voices outside my window, it sounds like a crying woman or singing mumbling. It's annoying.

Voila, c'est tout. À bientôt.

If you guys don't know, today is the manifestation of Thailand happening in Bangkok. It's called something like Bangkok shutdown. It will be going on for three days... It's gonna be a hectic day for me because I just got transferred to housekeeping and I need to clean up room. And today is just the first day and also the first day of Bangkok shutdown. Tired sial.... 3 days leh...!

Let me show you some photo of the manifestation happened this evening is BTS Asoke & MRT Sukkhumvit.

When I'm on my way... Actually during the morning, I only saw people wearing white. I stopped at BTS Nana so I'm not aware what is actually happen in the main section. Enric asked but I skipped that question. Was too rush during work.

They even set-up a camp. LOL (it's on the top left). Many supporter were there and also inside the Terminal 21 Mall for the air-cond, I guess. It's too hot outside due to many people were there. Gonna see this tmr again. *sigh*

That's all for my news. Bye.
