21 April - Goodbye Family

Monday, the family will be departing today while Jason & I would move to another budget boutique hotel for another day. Though I thought I would very much enjoy the last day to chill out & relax, I was just so horribly wrong. What gone wrong? MENSES Lor! *oops.. sorry!*
.

We woke to have our breakfast especially early as H & Jason were going to Healthland again for their final massage.. & they had to set off early as H has got to catch the flight with the family at 3pm - which means all of us gotta clear & check out of the apartment at 1pm.
.

Again.. I am happy this morning & every other mornings when I smell the aroma of the coffee & the sizzling pan of my fresh & runny sunny-side-up!

.
Jason & H set off to massage at 9am. The rest of us went back up to the apartment for our final packing. I asked Jason's mum if she'd like me to bring her out to get some lingerie, she said she'd rather stay in. So, I got to watch 1 episode of CSI NY on TV while waiting.
.
The 2 hunks came back refreshed & happy about 12pm. We all set off in different cabs at 1pm.
.
Now that Jason & I were on our own, he shall be my leader again! *giggles* But it was really untimely, i have to suffer from menstruation cramps & runny bowels! I HATE MENSES! Let me be a MAN! I could have enjoy a kinky holiday! *haha!* Just kidding BUT I meant every word...
.
We booked a room for the night at a budget hotel named Baiyoke Boutique costing only S$70 per night. It was ideally situated beside the famous Baiyoke Sky Hotel.

.

When we arrive, I was also delightfully charmed by the cheerful colors & modern decor.

.

These are snapshots of the lobby - small & clean whites with splashes of colors on soft furnishings & loud paintings!




A really clean & modern hotel.
.

As the check-in time was supposed to be 2pm & we arrived a little too early, we had to chill out at the lobby cafe.. with food & drinks of course!

The cafe was also tiny with a huge pool table though... perhaps for guests' entertainment.

.

We ordered some finger food & to satisfy my craving for chocolate, I ordered HOt Chocolate.

When our room was eventually ready, we went up. When we entered the room, I was alittle agitated they gave us 2 single beds. Why would I want to sleep in a different bed with my 'husband'? *blush* Ok Ok I was cranky because tummy was not feeling good too!
.
Jason then called the front desk for a change of room. I also took this opportunity to snap pictures of the twin-sharing room! *how clever!*
.
When we eventually got another room, it was on the highest floor.



I thought the decor was cheery & reasonably comfortable. Well, at least they had a bath-tub which Jason loved. However, Jason complained the bed was not comfortable. It was fine with me, as long as Jason was sleeping beside.

When I entered the room, I had the feeling of entering someone else's master bedroom in a 3-room HDB flat that's all. Nothing spectacular but the feel of a boutique hotel. WELL, it was cheap!

.

We decided to walk down the stairs instead of taking the lift as we noticed they have different wall murals on every level, not wall paper but painted graphics on the walls! & also on the lift-landing level. The lift landing level was in between 2 levels just like what we could find in old HDB flats!

This was the big flowers one -

This was the small grey roses one -

Then the painted bricks -

Interesting isn't it?

.

Then the lift-landings -

The lighting wasn't too good so I couldn't snap more BUT we were amusing ourselves with the different colors we saw on the different levels. Noticed most of the pics only had Jason in them, because Jason didn't offer to take pics for me!

.

We swopped slippers before we went out! *cheeky!*

.

After enough fooling around, we ventured out. We walked out to Central World passing through the Platinum. The weather was hot & sun was merciless! Eeekk!

.

We rest awhile before heading on foot again to Siam Square. Both of us were not really buying much things anymore, we were more keen on chilling out & the food. Jason very much wanted to go to Som Tam Restaurant again but there was a long queue, AGAIN! Disappointed, I brought him to the other restaurant I found on my last trip. Both of us were sweating like a broken water-pipe & we dashed into Inter at Siam Square.

We ordered the Papaya Salad, my fried Macaroni with Chicken & Basil & his Phad Thai. Then we decided to add another chicken wings to see if it would be just as nice as those in Som Tam.. sigh.. disappointing! The meal was cheap however, didn't cost us more than 300baht.

.

We ate & cool ourselves down in the air-con restaurant then went over to MBK. My tummy was so painful I had to sit down... Jason had been understanding, he didn't complain at all that I kept asking to sit down & also running to the toilets! *thank you!*

We had a nice hot cuppa latte on a quiet cafe called Star Cafe on the high floor of MBK. My dear Jason didn't order anything & he just waited for me patiently to finish my drink.. made me so guilty as if I spoiled his holiday..

.

We walked around after that & headed to take the skytrain to Phrom Phong after that as we needed to pick up the suit for his bad along Sukhumvit. When we arrived at The Emporium, we decided to catch a movie as it was only 100baht per ticket on weekday evenings! We quickly got the tickets before heading to the tailor & dinner.

.

We had dinner at the Food Loft on the 7th Floor of The Emporium after that before the movie. I needed a hot soup so I opted for Korean Ramen.. Jason had his all-time favourite Japanese COld Noodles & he ordered Xiao Long Bao too! GREEDY MAN! It was a big foodie place but not crowded, perhaps it was a Monday!
.
We watched Street Kings starring Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker etc. Not too bad but I guess we were both tired we didn't enjoy the movie much. It had been a long day & I had too many painkillers I actually felt as if I floated through the day!

.

By the time the movie ended, it was close to midnight. We dashed out to take a cab back to the hotel.. Strange cab fares remained the same, they didn't have extra charges for Midnight? My tummy hurt so bad I didn't know what happened next excepted i hurled myself into bed & heard Jason walking here & there, packing stuff until late & kissed me goodnight before he snoozed off trying to watch a movie on his mobile phone.

I love you TOO Honey...
