The Good Friday long weekend was one of rest (on Friday and Saturday) and activity (on Sunday) for me. On a side note, I'm really enjoying a slow down in my church involvement since I stepped out of the Youth ministry as youth mentor and I cut down my worship duty to once a month. On Friday , I woke up slightly later just in time to wash up and head out for dimsum brunch with my parents, brother, Carolin, baby and Carolin's parents. We went to Imperial Treasure Cantonese Restaurant at Great World City. I stuffed myself silly with the yummy custard buns and egg tarts - they were really good! The rest of the Friday and Saturday was spent at home, reading, falling asleep, waking up to disturb General, then reading again, falling asleep, waking up to disturb General, reading... and the pattern continued. I actually woke up for dinner with a headache, which my dad thinks is from sleeping TOO MUCH. Saturday was really free too. But I also spent the day preparing for cell...

So this is way overdue but I'm thinking, "better late than never". I had originally uploaded just the photos alone and saved it as a draft to add in the words at a later date. And erm... the "later date" seems to be about 3 months later... oops, hee hee. If needed, you may want to refresh your memory by reading my entries on Day 1 and Day 2 of the LCP trip. Anyway, day 3 of our LCP BKK trip was the last full day in BKK. It was a very very different and new experience for me because, for the first time ever in my life, I was driven to Platinum Mall, right into its carpark, and on the way there, the roads were CLEAR. We spent the rest of the day in Platinum Mall. Our longest break was for lunch at the Japanese restaurant (also first time experience for me). I was too busy shopping and looking at stuff and eating so I have no photos to offer you here:D For dinner, we ate at the Four Seasons London restaurant at Megabangna, which is a huuuuuuge mal...

I was up at 5:45 to wash up. Still very sleepy because of the lack of sleep (we only slept at 00:30 BKK time the night before), I kept forgetting things and we were late for to breakfast, going down at 6:55 instead of the planned 6:45. Breakfast was very simple. But I enjoyed what is to me a holiday special of toast bread with egg and ham. The feel of the breakfast place felt like some cafeteria though, not very nice ambience. We left the hotel at about 7:45. All 17 of us squeezed into a mini bus. It was a 2 hour bus ride to the starting point of our tour of the floating market. I really enjoyed the floating market experience! My first buy of the day was a 700baht (about SGD28) giraffe made out of coconut husks which can light up. Actually Cindy was very interested to find out its price. The boat drew near to the stall and the opening price was actually 1,400baht! We talked about bargaining but that just meant that if she agreed to our price it was a done dea...
