Hawaii in April

So After Thailand.. next stop was Hawaii..

Left for Hawaii on April 14th totally pscyhed.. first time going to Hawaii and I've never been a Sun, Sand and Sea kinda girl so I was wondering how was that going to turn out :p

Anyhoo, on my way to Hawaii.. I had a stop over in Narita airport.. Northwest (Hate it.. flew it only because it was the cheapest and probably the shortest (ironically) transit time)




Oh and at Narita Airport I saw this cutest thing.. a Robotic Seal.. later I found out that this was some kinda award winning thing at comdex to accompany kids and old peepz to fill them up emotionally and physically?? I don't know I thot it was just cute hehe



But then again everything in Narita is cute, and this was JUST THE FREAKING airport for crying out loud in 1 hr I spent like a hundred bucks on useless cute shyt! I guess my best buy had to be this cute lip gloss thingy from bourjois for the mobile phone



AND Why don't we have such cute stuff in Singapore??

Anyways back on the plane for another 7 hours.. total trip from SIN to HNL... 21 hours.. I reek!! but Finally on the plane... a glimpse of Paradise.



Mikey came to pick me up from the airport, we went for brekkies at the Ala Moana mall (soon I found out that EVERYTHING is at Ala Moana Mall) and lata dropped me of a the Hilton Hawaiian Village..

The Hotel was Nice, it was like this entire village (duh) and we even had our own flamingos




The room was overlooking the Hilton Lagoon which very much looked like some kind of mud pool since it was under construction



Although it sorta got overshadowed by the beautiful rainbow.. but there was a rainbow in Hawaii nearly every other day because of the weather.

The very next day after landing in Hawaii.. I went out shopping =) went to the umm "market" i forgot which market it was but it was probably like the central market where all they sell is touristy stuff and make a shit load of money off of dumb tourist like me.. but who cares.. i'm on Holiday :P and I need souvenirs that I'll probably never use and put on my table to collect dust!



And this was the street where the Market was on.. I guess this was like the Rodeo Drive of Honolulu cuz all the big labels were on this road.. and I walked into coach to do a little price check before I ran to the outlet *wink*



After buying like a buncha souvenirs... it was still a tad early and we thought we might hit the beach to catch a glimpse of the sunset..




so we took a coastal road.. or we thought we did...



Haha we got ourselves lost.. but it was nice looking at these houses in Hawaii, got me started thinking, maybe I should move here too hehe, but oh wells we were soon back on track and on to the beach!!



It was BEAUTIFUL!!!



Had to whip out and change into my Hawaii Tee and put that fake foam flower in my hair for the pics haha but it was absolutely breath-taking!! The water was crystal clear.. the sand was soo fine.. and it was CLEAN!



(or it looked clean, unlike LA)




And soon the sun was setting and it was time to start heading back to the hotel




I didn't have as much time as planned on Hawaii.. my grand mother passed away and I had to come back in time for her funeral.. so that's what I did.. I came back early from my trip.. I only had another day on Hawaii.. so.. I spent most of it at Zippy's (Egg Whites ;) ).. Walmart... Outlets.. Walmarts..

Haha I think Walmart is the best place on earth :) I could go there everyday and that's where they have the cheapest macadamia nuts.. (I lata found out that Steph has a friend who OWNS a Macdamia nut farm and I can have as many as I want... )

But I had a great time on Hawaii and I'll never forget the people and the hospitatility they have showed me.. I love it and I would definitely go back again one day.. and do it all over again..

Thailand in April

So today I'm stuck at home finally been a long time since I've been just home doing nothing... cuz this time I'm stuck with food poisoning.. (If I ever want to 1) lose weight, 2) take a day of from work, I know where to go to get SICK)... I've been puking and having the runs for the past 3 days.. I'm getting better now.. haven't puked in the past 12 hours so its good, although I still feel nausea.. and a throbbing headache everything is SWELL =)

Anyhoos so what's been Miss Notti Up too for the entire month of April.. lotsa travelling and hanging out with friends... first stop wonderful Thailand

Well Thailand I was there on business... I was there only like 2 nights.. it was really funny cuz my boss made the arrangements for the flights so when we were checking in our planes she asked us if we would like our boarding passes for the next day.. we were like huh??WhaT?!? yea apparently the travel agent booked the wrong dates.. we left on April 9th at like 6pm and would arrive in bangkok at probably 10.. and our return date was set at April 10th at 7am in the morning? lol I mean who the hell would go to bangkok for less than 12 hours? What am I going there for just to spend the night?? helloOooOO anyhoo.. haha we had to fix it when we got to bangkok..

So we stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel..



my room was sooooooo nice I wana stay there forever :P haha but the first thing when I got there I hit the gym.. and I MUST say they have the BEST gym ever!! :P alrite call me a country bumpkin fresh of the boat.. but ALL the equipment there had LCD TV screens WITH CABLE.. omg! I could exercise forever!! Oh did I add that there was this trainer there that was the cutest thing? Haha he gave me 1 on 1 lessons later (NOT THAT KIND U DIRTY MINDED FOOL!!) he taught me how to train my abs... and made me do the big ball thing.. UGH painful..

Went to bed feeling hella healthy :P but I HAD to order room service.. so I ordered some Spicy Prawn Glass Noodles with some stir fried garlic mushyrooms... OMG they were soooo good :P but THANK Goodness I didn't finish all of it so my damn workout didn't go to waste




Next day was just a whole day of training / meetings at our partner's place.. had my Yummy Thai Ice Tea... after that it was fun fun fun!! Me, my boss, and her friend went to "Bed" together... HAHA I know sounds awkward.. but the place is REALLY called BED :P ok its called Bed Supper Club Its a totally cool place where you have dinner/supper on this really Big Beds!



Oh and they had this magician.. that came around doing tricks at all the tables entertaining us.. we managed to Foil one of his little tricks =) When you meet me ask me to show you *wink* ...in bed.. lol



After BED.. I didn't want to go back to the hotel that early.. I wanted to do a little shopping before I had to head back in the morning.. so being the crazy mee.. I headed out to Lampini Night Market.. Alone.. haha.. yea.. (I texted my friend to call my parents if I don't msg him in 2 hours that I'm back in the hotel) So I was happily shopping buying lights... bags... T-shirts... candles... you know all the useless stuff you don't really need but just want to spend tourist money.... THIS GUY... comes up to me and asks me if he could buy me a drink, I politely refused.. He comes up to me 3 mins lata asking again.. and I said really no thanks... "its just over there.. come on have a drink with me".. "NO really, I don't drink, Thanks for the offer"

Anyways he must have asked me I don't know how many times and at the corner of my eye i could see him following me.. I got so freaked, I jumped into a cab.. told the cab driver to just go to the hotel.. I didn't care how much I was paying.. and I kept looking behind.. FREAKED OUT!! I texted my friend and he called me back and so he was on the phone with me until I got back to the hotel! EwkS!! S-C-A-R-Y! but oh wells I'll go to the night market alone again anyways :P HAHAHA I love shopping for useless shyt too much :P



Next morning.. the damn hotel alarm clock didn't wake me up and I had to leave the hotel at like 5:45am to catch my flight at 7am.. I woke up at 5:35am..hahaa but SUPER NOTTI... changed packed everything (i even brushed my teeth) and Yes I did meet my boss downstairs in the lobby at 5:45am muahahaha (uber /flex) and thats the end of Thailand.
