18 Feb 08
I clubbed with my Dad, beat that!
And so, the alarm which I set on my calendar to call Yenfang did not go off, for whatever reason. I woke up to the "you're way too beautiful girl..." actual wake up alarm 2 hours later. :( I still have not figured out why the alarm didn't work.
So anyway, breakfast was the same. Delon asked me if the orange juice was free flow, I have no freaking idea cos I did not intend to drink more than 1 glass at all. The coffee and tea were, by the way.
Pratunam market and Platinum were on the itinery so we set off for Pratunam market after breakfast. Pratunam was nostalgic as some of the stalls looked too familiar. I was trying hard to look for my 100 baht denim skirt stall but I guess its not there anymore. Things at these 2 places were pretty cheap as well, especially if you are getting 3 pieces and above. I wished my fellow girlies were there at that time cos it seemed pretty ridiculous to get 3 pieces of the same stuff.

Lun! This pic is for you!!
Platinum proved to be a touristy place cos the cabbies all refused to go by meter again! So we decided to walk further away from it to get a cab but as we walked, we recognised some landmarks which proved that we were near our hotel so we just continued walking while he happily snapped pictures. The whole walk took us about 20 mins?
Walking back from PlatinumWe dumped our loots and went down for a foot massage which came with some shoulder massage as well. Ahh... absolutely what I needed!

Tattooed arms massaging those hairy legsArranged to meet up with Daddy for dinner. The initial plan was to go Yaowarat for seafood but Dad wants to bring us to Anna Cafe where I had my "birthday" there 3 years ago. Thought it would be a pretty cool place to show the boyfriend the once every 10 mins birthday song. All we had to do was to inform one of the waiter that it was someone's birthday and they would give you a free cake with a super loud birthday song from the whole ging gang of waiter. So they actually sang me a happy birthday song in April 2005. No checking of identification or anything, so almost every table had a birthday celebration going on when I was there.
But turned out that Anna's Cafe was taken over by the MK group and had became a Thai fine dining restaurant. The place is quite nice and the food was pretty ok. Dad had 2 other friends who were there on a business trip and the bill for 5 of us came up to less than 100SGD, including a bottle of white wine, which we thought was quite cheap for that kind of ambiance and standard.

Self-entertaining when the 3 men went out for their after meal smokeAfter dinner we followed Daddy back to his hotel to check out his Jacuzzi suite. Its like a boutique hotel, named Veronica Residence. His suite which came with a jacuzzi was only120SGD per night. It freaking big and posh comes with free wifi and everything. Good if you want something luxurious just that its not located near our usual favourite shopping areas but that area has its fair share of shopping centres, pubs and clubs as well.

We ended the night with a clubbing session at club Santika at Sukhumvit. Its a nice place to hang out, with live band and super good service. We had beer and Chivas, and coupled with the wine over dinner, we got pretty high. It wasn't that hard for me to see my dad club. He was high, I was high too. His friends were more like entertaining him. Too bad we didn't bring any of our cameras along for clubbing cos we didn't know how the place was like hence went with as little things as possible. But it turned out that I felt totally safe and regretted like mad for not even bringing my camera phone!
This clubbing session became the highlight of my trip because everytime someone asks me about my trip, I have to pause after saying " I went clubbing with my Dad" and continue after they finish ga-ing about it. So yes, its true, I clubbed with my papa, real papa.
Me and chan left pretty early and cabbed back on our own, leaving Dad and his friends to party. We were pretty seh already lah. And I almost puked in the cab. If I did, it would be the driver's driving skills and not because I can't drink. Haha!
You wouldn't want to know how much shitload nonsense my boyfriend said when he was high. I was composed enough to set the alarm, and set an extra one to check out, just in case we sleep through the first one. Changed into my PJ, plonked on the bed, observed the spinning ceiling, ignoring all his nonsense, and fell asleep. :)
End of day 3!
