Leaving to my "2nd HOME" :)

I feel so happy cause i am leaving to Bangkok, my 2nd home as my mum was born here. Everyone here looks so stylish, happy and cheerful. I love the friendly people, food that makes me gain lotsa KGs, beautiful and creative products...... i am going to see lots of stars.....

Thai people are full of colors :)

 Victor carrying bags front and back. Haha

 Happy, can't wait to get there.

Three hours later, we finally reach Bangkok. Passing immigration was quick but we had to wait long time for our bags :( wasting my time...  

Sweet smile :)

Queuing up for taxi

Traffic is very bad in Bangkok. I wish to get to town quickly cause i am really hungry and my favorite hawker food closes at 8pm. I am craving for it...... 

A colorful drawing at the hotel lobby

Look, I am happy cause we are on the way to get my dinner. Yeah yeah!!

We are at this famous stall in siam square. It closes at latest 8pm as the local people snap up her dishes quickly. I was surprise she could recognize me and stills remember what i like...extremely spicy bamboo shoot. Yum yum.

Getting ready some fresh orange juices to offset the spiciness.

The best scent!!

This guy trying to sell me his products...

Cute little girl with a kitten and Marge Simpson.. Meow~~

 We love the food here VERY much. We end up buying lotsa hot, sour and spicy dishes:)

 Wok on fire!!!!

The bamboo shoot is too spicy till i feel my heart burning and head scalp sweating. Still, i like the feeling~~

 

I keep this flower beside me. The scent relaxes me:)

Looking forward to a fun day when i wake up! Naawn lap, fan dee!!!!! 

The drink that makes my day :)

I love love love this milk tea so much. I must had like 30 packs of it while i was there for a week.  I found out that not all convenience stores have this and one day i got pissed trying to find it. I ASKED the shopkeepers why!!!! and was told that the company has decided to produce lessor of my favorite, slowing stopping it, and replacing it with a sister brand so new recipe. OMG.....that is bad news for me. I actually tried the sister brand and i hate it. I think they are trying to lower the cost as they cut so much on the taste!!  

 I feel relaxed, fresh, happy and beeeeautiful (LOL)  when i drink this.  It is just like waking up to your favorite music with our love ones on a beeeeeautiful day! 

Look at my expression, i feel so relax. I am afraid that i wont be able to find it anymore on my next trip. :( How ??????????

My favorite Ramen place

As usual when i am here, i will definitely go to this japanese restaurant that serves my favorite 'tonkotsu' RAMEN. They serve really good Ramen, as good as what we had in Tokyo. On my way there today, i saw these older people doing a chinese opera out of leisure by the main road. That main character was so happy when i took a picture of him and team. 

Can you see the aunty waiting her turn on the left? 

The only indicator that shows the location of the restaurant. It is hidden and is quite hard to find.

The restaurant is just about 26 Square Meter including the Kitchen. It is really small like an authentic back alley japanese restaurant.

Main door

A good variety of sake and japanese whiskey.

The food menu, drawings by the customers and drink labels. Customers are allowed to draw and stick their drink labels on the wall.

Cute dolls on display.

Let's see my order... Tonkotsu Ramen, most recommended. The soup is thick and tastes really yummy. Must try!!! 

Bake potato with sour cream. The texture is great. 

 Special Chicken wings. They mince the meat of the wings together with special recipe then form them in shape again to cook.

Don't know what is this call, ' sotong balls'?

SLURPpppppp :)

The restaurant only have a long bar table that fits 10 persons and a table of  4 by the side. Do expect a really long queue during peak times. 

Lots of cute drawings on the wall, all done by the customers. 

This one is drawn by my daughter, Maurice :) Can u guess what this masterpiece is? Hmmmm.... I miss her now.

Some of her photos when she was here.

She is a such happy girl. She ordered her own coke when the waitress asked her what she wants.

Work, work and work.....

Here i am getting ready to start my day. Leaving the hotel lobby with my SS11 hankie on my head.  I can't wait to further develop my A/W collection and to QC the remaining batches of my S/S 11 collection. Going out with an ugly looking sourcing bag but very useful :) 

 Big enough to store all the materials sourced

Picking, touching and feeling the fabrics

 See this color chart... Lets all guess what color range i am going to use for the next season :)

 Looking so serious. Haha

Presenting our very talented aunties, who does wonders with their beading skills. They are the ones who hand-stitch the beads on our beautiful gallo by thian designs. This cute lil girl is starting young, trying to learn too.

Thanks Aunties ^^

The neighbors resting in the alley. So peaceful.

Beside designing, i am also the 'coolie' hahaha. I have to help Victor carry some heavy stuffs as he has lots to carry too. He threw everything on the middle of the road to snap this. I really love my job very much and if i have to choose my occupation again, i will definitely pick what i am now, a fashion designer and mother of gallo by thian.

 My passion, my life.
