My Very First Blog

While my friend and I were admiring the Istanbul lights on the third floor of Terminal 21 shopping mall in Bangkok, we saw a strange structure that looks like a tram on the fourth floor above us. So besides a double decker London bus, Terminal 21 also have a tram? We went up to the fourth floor which is the San Francisco - themed floor. Can you see that pair of legs with red high heels jutting out from the wall? I thought it was pretty cool! This is the San Francisco tram. No, it cannot move...

It's no secret that one of the animals I adore the most is the panda bear. Why, I even use panda as my avatar for my blog, Twitter and Facebook! LOL! Last year in March, I visited Ocean Park in Hong Kong with a friend. I really enjoyed my visit there. Mainly because I got to see real pandas! Located at the southern part of Hong Kong Island, Ocean Park is the 7th most popular amusement parks in the world. It is also one of the world's biggest marine and educational themed parks. Map of Hong...

Last evening, my family and I went to Dragon-i Restaurant in 1Utama to take advantage of their RM1 Chicken promotion. Yes, for only RM1 you get this! Worth it or not? It's soya sauce chicken, and we were given the whole chicken although I don't think it's a very large one. But there are conditions to this promotion of course - there must be at least 3 people dining, and the dining period is between 6pm till 9pm daily. Also, it's for dine-in only, no take-away. However, there is no minimum...

On our way up to the top floor of Terminal 21 shopping mall, my friend and I saw this tall Oscar statue. It is about 3 stories tall, with the base on the fourth floor. When we went up to the sixth floor (highest floor), we saw the big ' Hollywood ' letters on the wall. This is the Hollywood-themed floor which is also the cinema floor. Every floor of Terminal 21 has its own theme based on a city or place. Read about the different floors HERE. I saw this life-sized Sheriff Woody character from...

Walking all 9 floors of Terminal 21 shopping mall in Bangkok, taking pictures of their amazing toilets and iconic landmarks was fun! Add in a little bit of shopping and both my friend and I did not even know it was way past lunch time! It was actually the sound of our stomachs growling that reminded us we had to eat! But where to eat? There are many restaurants in Terminal 21 but most can be found on the 4th and 5th floors around the Golden Gate bridge of San Francisco. We decided it was best...

Surprisingly, I did not take many photos of the Paris-themed Mezzanine floor of Terminal 21 shopping mall in Bangkok. Probably there were nothing interesting about this floor? All I remember is that there are a number of fashion outlets by Thai designers on this floor. The only photo I have is this one below showing Starbucks. Two landmarks stood out at the Lower Ground floor, which is the Carribean floor. One is this red lighthouse. The light house viewed from the bottom. The other is this...

Welcome to Istanbul City ! That's the signboard I saw on the third floor of Terminal 21 shopping mall in Bangkok. After visiting the sumo wrestlers on the Tokyo (first) floor and the double-decker red bus on the London (second) floor, my friend and I proceeded to the Istanbul (third) floor. The unique thing about this floor is the lights on the ceiling! There were many lights of various shapes and designs. There were many shops selling shoes and leather goods on this Istanbul-themed floor....

1. Welcome to my 27th Random Note post! Wonder when I will reach Random Notes 100! Maybe I will celebrate by giving away stuffs to my readers once I reach that milestone! Haha! 2.

Last weekend, my family and I went to Italiannies at The Curve for dinner. I had not been going to Italiannies for quite a long time. My previous visit was at its outlet in 1Utama shopping mall - and that was probably more than one year ago. I still remember how much I liked their complimentary bread dipped into vinegar and olive oil last time. It was the same this time. Still loving it! In fact, I think I can just eat the bread with the vinegar and olive oil as the main meal by itself and...

Continued from Part 2 Seriously, I have never been to so many toilets in one day! And this is not even one day, but within the short span of one and a half hours! So far, my friend and I have visited the toilets from the Lower Ground floor all the way up to the third floor. We have covered Carribean, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, London and Istanbul toilets haha! Three more floors to go and we are done. Next up, the 4th floor and 5th floor, both of which are San Francisco -themed floors. But let's...

My friend and I were at this spanking new mall called Terminal 21 in Bangkok. When I saw the famous London bus with the image of the London guard in front of me, I really thought I was dreaming! But it's true! There it was! The double-decker red London bus and the London guard in his red uniform! Why were there a London bus and a London guard in a shopping mall in Bangkok? Well, every floor of Terminal 21 represents a famous city or place. We were on the 2nd floor of this airport-themed...

After visiting the amazing toilets on all 9 floors of Terminal 21, my friend and I explored the rest of this awesome shopping mall in Bangkok. The unique thing about this airport-like Terminal 21 is that each floor represents a famous city or place. We were on the first floor, which is the Tokyo -themed floor. As we came up this floor from the escalator, a giant Maneki Neko greeted us! Maneki Neko, also known as the 'Beckoning Cat' is a common sculpture found in Japan. The Chinese also have...

Do you like to watch musicals? One of the best musicals I have seen is not a Western musical but a musical from Singapore. It's called ' Chang & Eng The Musical ' based on the real life story of conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker. Staged in Istana Budaya KL way back in 2002, it was one of the first few musicals I have watched and remains one of the very best I have seen. It's also the longest running musical in Singapore. Directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham, this musical did not boast of any...

Recently, I flew to Bangkok together with a friend for a short holiday. One of the places we visited there was Terminal 21. No, it's not an airport, although the name Terminal 21 sure sounds like one. Located in Sukhumvit area, Terminal 21 is a spanking new shopping mall, possibly the newest kid on the block in Bangkok's shopping scene. Opened just in time to unfortunately coincide with the infamous Bangkok flood late last year, this 9-storey mall has almost everything you need all under one...

Continued from Part 1 I find that Bangkok is not as connected as I would like it to be. I mean connected to the Internet, that is. Not all places provide free wifi. And going online is such a daily habit for me even during travels! As such, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Terminal 21, the new airport-themed shopping mall in Sukhumvit, offered free wifi. However, you would first need to register yourself at the Information Counter to get a Username and Password. This is my Username and...
