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.

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: 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.

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: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

Review: PA Holiday Flat Chalet

Just ended a retreat at PA holiday flat chalet. We got it for super cheap (56 bucks) for 4 days 3 nights. Excluding electricity. The first thing I thought of was that PA is always understaffed, because we had to wait for 1/2 hour to check in as the staff was not in office. Finally, when we managed to check in, we realised that there was a lot of stuff not provided for. Booking the BBQ pit costs $3.20. And there were no toilet rolls in the toilet. And we have to clean up the rooms. Like throw all the rubbish away and such. This was the first time I had been to such a chalet so I was a little shocked. We took #03-03 and everything was fine till the last day when there was a thunderstorm. The wall started leaking and formed puddles on the floor. One tip to note is that taking the ground floor is better when there are lots of movements around. Climbing the stairs multiple times a day is no joke. The bedroom of #03-03 The BBQ pit, with the playground and the flats in th...

Bad experience at Fitness First Singapore for membership transfer

Recently, as I have been busy, I wanted to transfer my membership to someone else. Naturally, I called up Fitness First to check if I can transfer the membership and they told me that as long as they are willing to pay the transfer fee of 98 bucks and the remaining months of the membership, I am able to do the transfer. It sounds alright, correct? Then, when I attempted to transfer the membership, problems started to arise. Initially, the staff at Market Street Fitness First told me that yes, I can do the transfer(and that is after calling them multiple times as none of the staff can actually confirm it. They just told me to wait for their return calls which never ever happens.) Then after that, when I called for a last time to confirm when I wanted to make my way down, they suddenly told me that because I am on a term membership, they are unable to let me transfer my membership. (And I had already made arrangements with the person that will be taking over my membership) That w...
