Latest scan and (secret) Bangkok trip

Was on half day leave today as Selene had a gynae appointment. This time round gynae was commenting on the "beautiful" nose of the baby. Oh, and Selene said the baby seems to keep on munching on X, whatever X is.


Just somehow realised that gynaes must have the world's most boring jobs. Can you imagine that your job revolves either looking at black and white blobs and making sense out of the mess, or staring at the Great South? I clearly remember one of my frens telling me how he almost lost his libido while attached to gynaecology during his houseman many years back.

Managed to get back home a little earlier than usual today so managed to dig out the camera to download the pics of the (secret) Bangkok trip. I think both our parents will probably kill us if they knew that we flew over (and back) secretly!

Some random pics from the trip:

The new Bangkok airport (what's the name again??). My first time coming to Bangkok since the opening of the new airport. It has a very industrial look. You can see Selene peeping at me in the foreground.

Very new (and very nice!) hotel, Courtyard by Marriott. It was just opened in Jan 08, so the whole place is very new. The room is very big and comfortable. Just don't stay with 2 guys coz the toilet walls are glass and (strangely), the curtains are from the outside so the guy bathing inside cannot control the guy with peeping instinct outside.


This is taken at one of the dinners that we had at Bella Napoli Pizzeria at Sukhumvit Soi 31 (recommended by one of my frens). They serve good (and special) pasta and the pizza is big! We had more than enough with just 1 pasta and pizza. I was wondering while eating how the other table across us finished their dinner with 1 more calamari order than us...

Bangkok has changed so much since our last visit (a few years back). Now all of the BTS are connected via elevated walkways just below the BTS lines. They have many modern shopping centres as well. The newest one that we saw was the Siam@Paragon (shown above, just outside of it).

We had our last day dinner at Fuji, one of the most popular (and cheap) Jap restaurant chains in Bangkok which can be found in many places. We had our dinner at the MBK branch. The last time when we were here with Alvin and Serena, we ordered so much (becoz Alvin kept saying "cheep cheep cheep!!") that all the orders filled the entire table (and more, and they had to wait for us to finish some food before they could serve the rest). The quality of the food is ok (as long as you don't expect top-notch for the price).

Last photo of the day: Selene caught red-handed stealing my money.

Ok, seriously, I have no idea what she was doing (and what I was doing actually) when this photo is taken. Just take it as a random photo blog.
