We stayed at Citin Pratunam, which is very very near to Ratchaprarop station ( Airport link). It's a 10-15 mins walk to Praya Thai station following the railway tracks.

The life below Rachaprarop station.

Our lunch was some fishball maggie noodle near the hotel. Then some crepe that PL set his eye on.

And we explored around for the first day, and took their water ferry transport.

This was how the ferry looked like.

And the different types of boats that stopped at the ferry terminal =D

Dinner was awesome. We at at T&K Seafood (right smack in the middle of Chinatown). You will see a huge crowd after 7pm and there are two seafood rivals there. We saw the menu for the rival but decided that theirs was too ordinary, thus opted for T&K.

Our dinner~~ We ordered all small and it was just nice for us.

DAY 2

Train to praya thai(2 rabbit cards, 200 each)	400
Train back to rachaprop	30
ice cream	20
Total for day 2	3684

Our 2nd day was more fruitful, where we went to the Grand Palace. The entrance fee is a whooping 500 baht each, and frankly, there wasn't much interesting stuff there. The walls are decorated with pictures though, depicting the history of Thailand, and you can walk one round seeing how history evolves.

This is the first glimpse of the Grand Palace after walking out of Tha Chang Terminal.

We took the orange boat (15baht each)

We then went to Chinatown, where we walked through the Sampeng Wholsesale market. Basically, you just keep heading towards the crowded area and you would get there. (No brains needed)

I got my hair ties and scrunchies there for damn freaking cheap.

After wandering around and being overwhelmed by the accessories there, we headed over to MBK Mall via Tuktuk. MBK Mall is just next to the National stadium station so it is super accessible.

The Magic Art Museum inside MBK Mall was an impromptu idea. Since it was on discount, we decided to give it a try. There wasn't anyone inside at all so we had the whole place to ourselves. The placing of the art wasn't that fantastic but we managed to enjoy ourselves! And we took around 1.5hrs for the whole museum.

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

[Review] Lovejoy confinement centre in JB

I did an unthinkable thing, which is to head over to JB for confinement. When I first suggested that, everyone around me warned me against it. They cited the lack of healthcare should I or Hunter is unwell and the inconvenience caused by the distance. I wasn't deterred and pushed forward with it and I didn't have any regrets. I enjoyed my time there tremendously and would go back there again if not for my insistence that I would not have a second kid. All that being said, there are definitely some cons but they are minor issues in my opinion. An unassuming front Pros: Amazing food As everyone knows, food in JB tastes better and the confinement centre is no exception. 5 meals are provided a day with unlimited milo and biscuits should you be hungry. (Trust me, breastfeeding is hungry business). The timings are 9am (breakfast), 12pm (lunch), 3pm (teabreak), 6pm (dinner) and 9pm(supper). As you can see, I was really well taken care of in the food department when I was there. Huge ...

Our 1st home

In a few months' time, we will be moving out of our BTO home. It is a bittersweet moment as we have painstakingly designed our place, putting in months of efforts. However, we (or mainly I) decided that we have outgrown this current flat, and require more space for our growing boy. (And it definitely does not help that both of us are currently working in a hybrid mode.) Our place before we shifted in: Our platform bed - You may be amazed that it fits a king sized bed We chose casement doors for the cupboards I love the spanish made wooden tiles! We got it at Soon Bee Huat Our customized racks in the bomb shelter The view from our home After moving in: The kitchen The living room It has been a good 6 years.

Phonics Class at Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA)

Today, I am going to share my review of the phonics enrichment school that I have been sending Hunter to since start of July 2023. To give you the background, Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA) base its phonics classes on Jolly Phonics, and is located in Bugis. I first got to know about CTA when they launched their phonics workshop. Being the ambitious mum, I thought that I could save some money and teach Hunter phonics by myself. After going through the workshop, I realised the amount of work I have to put in to curate the materials, and I decided that it is best left to the experts and I would just revise the contents with him at home during the week. Below are the information from CTA. They run the classes by terms and classes are tagged by levels. Price List for 2023 Hunter is currently in Intermediate phonics and will be advancing up next year. I love the approach ...

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.
