Bangkok 11th - 14th Feb (Day 1)

Eve of Departure
We quickly fetch Adel home from Appleland to have our dinner, bathed her and finished off packing her things before bringing her over to Brenda house. Kennzo was excited when he saw us arrived but he would be staying there till we are back. When we reached Brenda's place, Adel was excited and she mingled well immediately. She did not even looked at us when she waved goodbye to us when we left.
I felt abit sad but was glad that she adapted well with my babysitter.

Sam and I did some last minute packing of our lugguage and we only slept when it was 1am.

Day 1
We woke up at about 4.30am, last check on our lugguage and off we go to the airport.

Catherine and Weiyi were already there when we reached.
We checked-in and then proceeded to the staff canteen to have breakfast before we board the plane.

We were utterly disappointed with the crew and pilots of the flight we were on. They were obviously not doing their job well and were chatting among themselves. This was the worst flight that I had ever taken with Jetstar. Midway through the flight, the ang moh seated behind us suddenly hurled shutup and asked the couple seated on the same row to discipline their kids. The parents of the kids got emotional, especially the mother who shouted back at him, asking him to shutup and returned back to his own country. That was definitely not a gracious act from the mother though I agreed that the man was too much (since kids' behaviour is uncontollable). It was pretty much an ugly scene and the crew was not even awared of it. No one came forward to offer a solution.

Finally we reached Bangkok International Airport and got on the cab to the hotel. After checked it, we went over to Plantinum Mall and have our lunch. First stop to Naraya for crazy shopping, back to hotel and off to Chinatown for seafood. It was a satisfying meal that cost us 1680 baht for 10 dishes plus Singha beer. This meal was simply fabulous than the previous trip we had.
We headed next to Patpong for some drinks and we ended up with more shopping at Naraya again. It was pretty quiet or maybe it was a weekday and it's still early. The crowd was quiet, the cocktails were horrible (tasted just like medication) and the pubs were blasting their musics as if we are deaf.

We took a taxi back to hotel and ended day 1 in Bangkok.
