Vibrant Bangkok - Ladyboys & Chatujak Weekend Market

Having been to Bangkok numerous times, it never fails to amaze me the vitality this little city holds. From the splash of colours and diversity in Chatujak weekend market to the dazzling entertainment at Calypso. No wonder Bangkok is hailed as a shopping and entertainment haven for most.

Ladyboys in a wonderfully choreographed Broadway styled musical. Some of them are so stunningly beautiful that they can put many women to shame...hehehe ...

Shots of Chatujak Weekend Market. Love the vibrant environment

All Grown up

Just gotten back from a trip to Shen Zhen...but technically, I was moving round from Shen Zhen to Zhong San to Guang Zhou and then back to Shen Zhen in a span of 5 days.If you thought I must had fun sightseeing, you are so wrong !

Spent most of my time (1) in the car from all that travelling (2) at home in SZ & GZ . Why so ? Cos this trip was meant for grannie to visit one of the doctors who supposedly is pretty good at curing aches and pain which has been plaguing my gran's legs for the longest time. So,to cut the long story short, Gran had her jabs (8 shots in all!!Faintz), needed ample rest so we stayed home most of the time.

Of cos,nothing can stop my trigger happy fingers from taking a rest so I was happily snapping pics of my favourite person ... Baby Jun !!

Here's Baby Jun all grown upat 21months old.

A handsome lad in the making.

Noti Jun giving Grannie a wash in the car ...hehehe

Jun, the poultry seller wannabe ... as for me, I was frantically trying to pull him away from all the chicken poo on the ground!

Check out those eyes .... cute cute cute !!

Grouchy ...oops...

Who is cuter ??

Cheese ....zzzzzzz ...

(1) SMS all your friends in your phone book

(2) Try & take your own picture ...pardon the flaring nostrils , not too flattering I must say!

Ever eaten Snake Fruit ?

Hmm .. have you ever eaten Buah Salat ? Yup for those who have, it is also known as Snake Fruit cos of the reptile like skin covering the fruit.

The fresh is crunchy like an apple but the taste & smell is pretty acquired .. = )

My most memorable experience revolving Buah Salat was when I lugged 1kg of it back from my 1st trip to Bali in 1997 (OMG, that's like ages ago !). I was happily carrying it in my havesack and bouncing down the stairs from the plane (yes, those were the days where there wasn't air bridge available & when I can still BOUNCE) when the stress proved too much for the seams of my haversack and it burst open like a flower in full bloom !

What happened next went past in a flurry as the tiny fruits gleefully leverage on their new found freedom and spintered down the stairs ... ploop..ploop...ploop !!

Bet you can imagine my embarrassement as I scrambled to pick them up and stuff them right back into my inverted bag ...hehehe

Fond memories as I sink my teeth into these crunchy bites .. yummy ....

Fresh View of Chinese Garden

Decided to pop by the much forgotten Chinese Garden one Sunday and was pleasantly surprised with some shots that I am pretty proud of ...hehehe

And yes, I just love rain drops ...glittering in the sunlight like crystals ...

Who says uncles can't pose ? Cheeze!

Here's us ... though it looks a little cluttered with the poles.. = )

Happiness is infectious !

Oh, this is my favourite Uncle Limwho has decided that I am HIS official photographer of the day. This is like his 6th picture and he keeps looking for me and mumbling in cantonese "Ying Xiong, Ying Xiong" (translate : Picture,Picture). And he even dictates where I stand to take his picture ..hehehe

And I thought only Uncle Lim loves taking picture, this Auntie does too ! Here's one that she insisted she wanted a picture with the fishes .. trust me, I nearly fell into the pond attempting this shot!

I love this beautiful braclet that this Auntie was wearing and taught her how to pose... sweet yah ... = )

And what is Day Out without a group picture !
