This week was full of
last minute changes and cancellations to our programs and activities. The usual weekly Thursday run was changed to Tuesday to accomodate most of us, but still we didnt run due to bad weather. So all we could do was to have dinner at Anchorpoint.
We were supposed to be basking in the sun at
Sentosa on Saturday. But, it was
cancelled, due to poor attendance and inaccurate forecast of weather. The weather on Saturday was perfect, but one of us predicted that it will rain, like it was the previous few days. Tough luck. .
So in the end we just settled for a lazy Saturday, watching
Tropic Thunder at Cineleisure and strolling around Orchard Road. Supposed to watch the 7pm show, but because of
another last minute change (HL decided not turn up) we watched the one screened earlier. It's a
movie about making a movie, that was
supposed not to be the movie but
ended up being a movie. Go figure it out. . .
Since we were in town, we also bought the
ZoukOut tickets which we had planned to attend. Tickets cost $48 each, but with our
DBS Debit Card we were entitled to
5% discount, making it
$45.60 each. But we could have saved more if not for Jenn! With the
DBS Live Fresh Credit Card, we would only pay
$40.80, after a
15% discount! Jenn found out her sister is a Live Fresh Card holder only after we got home.
It's too late to apologize Jenn. . .
Also, our very own
"Rain" and
"Jason Mraz" were doing well on HMV CD charts.
"Rain" was
no. 2 on the Asia Album Chart while
"Jason Mraz" was
no. 5 on the Pop and Rock Chart. Well done guys! It feels good to have
famous friends. . ..jpg)

The night was spent planning upcoming events and activities. Up in the pipeline will be Lynn's Birthday, Kukup Trip, ZoukOut, Christmas Party and New Year Celebration. We even went as far as to plan another holiday to Bangkok.

Bangkok is over! The RUN must continue!
These week, it was the
guys that were slacking! They ran 5 rounds
LESSER but they insist it's because they ran
FASTER. Another excuse added to the list. we shall see how long that list will go...
Lingzi didn't join us as she got 'meeting boyfriend' as an excuse. Meeting boyfriend is probably the best excuse! Too bad for WRTS members!
We
R The
Singles, can't use that as an excuse!

Author: Jenn 11 October 2008, our first overseas trip together. The airfare cost
SGD172.80 per person on
AirAsia. After sending out the 'invites', only
Lingzi accepted our invitation and joined us on this trip.
Thank You for making the special guest appearance!
WRTS Featuring TLZ
All geared up. . .
We stayed at Siam Oriental Inn located in the famous backpackers' area of Khao San Road. Since the accomodation is for lodging purposes, putting up at a guesthouse saves us a lot of money. It cost only THB690 for a triple room per night. (Approx. SGD30). Therefore each person only forked out $10 per night!
First meal in Bangkok...
We immediately head to
Platinum Mall after checking in. Its a
must-go place for the girls, if not they will murder the guys. Girls being girls, they
spent like there's no tomorrow, grabbing everything which caught their eyes. The guys only bought 2 tops each from there as we felt
Chatuchak was the place for us. Indeed it was! We were at Chatuchak on Sunday
from 1000 to 1600hr and the guys were still
not satisfied. We felt that we did not comb the whole area thoroughly which was impossible anyway.
We even planned a
gift exchange way before the trip. We drew lots and bought the gift in Singapore for the intended recipient. Ironically, we
exchanged gifts in pair, meaning that we received the gift from the one whom we were supposed to buy for!

A trip to Bangkok will be incomplete without sipping
Thai Ice Tea, drinking
Tom Yam and
eating
Pad Thai! The guys even munched on
Crickets which tasted like
ikan bilis.
the first night, but still it did not stop us from taking
glamourous shots. . .
Taking a break after hours in Chatuchak. . .
Our only Skytrain ride from Mo Chit to Siam...
We didn't only found counterfeit goods in Chatuchak, we found Rain and Jason Mraz impersonators too!
We organised our own very fashion show on the second night. We displayed all our items in the guys' room and each one of us picked an outfit to model and parade in. . .

The Grand Palace is just a 10 minutes walk from our guesthouse. The visit enriched our mind and soul as we appreciate the magnificent architectural design of the structures.
We were hiding our ice cream, that explains why one of our hands were placed behind our backs. . .
HIPPIE was our chillout place on the first and last night of the trip. The cosy setting and ambience is perfect for chilling. Wide range of music were spinned, from Fool's Garden to Katy Perry. Lots of silly and embarrasing moments happened on the last night. We enjoyed ourselves though. Definitely our favourite place, thumbs up!
The trip ended on a good note. No major quarrels took place as forecasted. Many many thanks to Lingzi for trying very hard to control her temper (though she lost it several times) and put up with our antics. . . Also for the great photos from her camera. There are lots more photos of the trip, which can be viewed on Lynn's blog or Fadly's Facebook. Special thanks to:
--Lynn and Jenn for playing a major part in planning the trip,
--Jef for taking the lead and take care of us
--Huiliang, for participating.
