Diary of a self-confessed shopaholic

Dear Diary,
Finally after a two year hiatus, i'm back at Bkk again. woohoo!!!! finally!!! a chance to quench my shopping thirst.
Day One - MBK
How to give this place a miss? what wif the 199 baht shoes and shoes. but prices seem to haf increase in MBK. it's more of 259 baht shoes, instead of 199. but who cares?!?! we are in bangkok, the beginning of the crazy shopping spree. JUST BUY!!
Day Two - Central, Paragon
Not much bargain to hunt for in isetan. DISSAPPOINTED!!! but nonetheless, managed to grab a few narayas. I nearly broke my leg walking Central, and i really felt like sitting on a wheelchair when we reached Paragon. Now i understand why Thais are generally skinny - the diet & the walking are a killer for couch potatoes like moi. Didn't even managed to cover 1/4 of Paragon & i'm already screaming for mercy for my poor legs. H..e..l..p... ah pui soh is defeated by shopping for the 1st time.
Day Three - Chatuchak
No trip to bangkok is complete without a visit to CTC. Newsflash: CTC is now opened on Fri nites & weekend evenings... YEAH!! more shopping.. more splurging... more blood-gutting bargaining.... more lugging of shopping bags for ah pui. WOOHOOOOO....

BUT, age is really catching up on me. haf to lug my iron clad legs back after 1 afternoon worth of non-stop shopping. argh.... should have trained up on my stamina before going to bkk. *bang wall*
Day Four - Platinum Mall & Suan Lom Night Mkt
We have the good fortune of being neighbours to Plantinum Mall. (more yeah!!!) Ah pui was astonished that we spent the entire afternoon scurrying in the 6 level-high malls. Hello, what do u expect? 5 levels (san foodcourt) of clothes, shoes, bags??!!! It already is a miracle that i cover the mall within 1 afternoon.

Hehe, the proudest moment must be when i'm paying for 6 bags at wholesale price. Nearly did the victory dance in front of the cashier. S$24 for 6 bags... BWAHHHAHHHAHHAHAHA....

Went suan lom on ah pui's insistence. Bleah.... sacrificed my snooze fest for a bleah trip.
Day Five - Home Sweet Home
Bye bye bkk. Til we meet again. *sooooooooooooooooooooooooooobs, BWAAAAAAAAAH* But before, the tears, more last minute grabs from MBK.

Some of my humble conquests:



Bags - woolala... some at wholesale price :D





Clothes (part 1) - my black collection. Don't ask me what got into me to buy so much blacks. Must be my never-ending quest to look thin.








Clothes (part 2) - my coloured collection. okay, a grey sneaked in. smart ass. :P









Shoes - could have bought more, if ah pui is not nagging at me, AGAIN.
