CutiCuti: Misi Daun MerahKuning!

Assalamualaikum. 안녕.

Scheduled Entry! 

While u're reading this, I have already landed to one of my beloved place on earth. My 'kampong'. Self-declared! Alhamdulillah. Perhaps I could refer this as an impromptu trip. Yet, I have missionS to accomplished. We'll see mana yang akan tercapai & mana yang akan masuk list 'to be continue in next trip'. Kali ni aku pilih untuk jalan solo pasal tu beriya gila mau pigi semua tempat yang aku ndak sempat jejak sebelum ni. Maybe akan repeat few places just to rasa the different feeling. 

Anyhow, trip kali ni memang tersangat drama. First, kisah beli tiket & cari cuti (here). Pastu dalam sibuk aku atur strategi pujuk Bos untuk dapat cuti lepas Deepavali, one of our tukang masak passed away. Innalillahi wainnalillahi rojiun. Al Fatihah for her. 

Aku paused kejap aktiviti pujuk memujuk. Semua pun sedang dalam mourning phase, rasa macam gila kentang kan kalau aku suddenly buka mulut & request cuti. Tu confirmed perangai macam menagih penampar sedas. So I waited for a couple of days. Masa Bos bagitau aku boleh cuti 3 hari jak, aku memang sudah pasrah & half-heartedly redha. 

Land of Ong Bak Day 4 - Faridah Fatornee Restaurant, Bangkok

Assalamualaikum. สวัสดี!

Thanks to other bloggers who have been so generous on sharing the halal restaurant(s) in Bangkok. This time, the restaurant I went located at the Ratchathewi area. Aku pun mau lah juga share info ni. 

When there is a mosque, there will definitely be halal restaurant(s) in the vicinity. Bangga kembang kempis hidung tengok ada kedai halal di tempat yang majoriti masyarakat diorang adalah bukan Muslim. Gigih mencari rezeki diorang ni, salute toing². Semoga Allah kurniakan rezeki yang murah & melimpah ruah atas usaha diorang ni. Insha Allah, amin amin.

Land of Ong Bak Day 4 - The Platinum Fashion Mall

Assalamualaikum. สวัสดี!

Ok mari cepat habiskan trip to the Land of Ong Bak. Pastu boleh mula cerita lain pula.

Lepas isi perut di Siam Center (story here), we took the skytrain & alighted at BTS Chitlom Station. Walked via the skywalk to our next destination.

Bangkok City

We followed the signboard & entered the Central World Mall. Kami ikut jalan shortcut to avoid the scorching sun. 

Land of Ong Bak Day 4 - Mr. Jones Orphanage Cafe, Siam Center

Assalamualaikum. สวัสดี!

Continuation from here. 

In my last entry of the trip to Land of Ong Bak, I did mentioned that we will be exploring Bangkok city the next day. I totally forgot that we decided to only pay the temple(s) & palace a visit after the 'hari melebur poket' day. 

We woke up pretty early on our 4th day in Thailand. Bersiap ala kadar & we headed to our destination without having breakfast. Macam ndak sabar kan mau bakar poket. Our first destination was the Platinum Fashion Mall; reachable via BTS Chitlom Station. While walking on the Central World Skywalk we were approached by one fine lady; wearing a kebaya as her top. She suddenly asked where we're heading. I brilliantly told her where we're going. 

"Ouh, since today is Wednesday many mall closed half-day because the Thai people went to pray. Wednesday is our prayer day. The mall will only open after 2pm."

I was quite surprised upon hearing that because I never read anywhere in the internet saying that the malls in Bangkok closed half-day on Wednesday. 

"What u wanna do at Platinum Mall? If u wanna buy souvenirs, I can bring u to Siam Silk. Just opposite the Siam Center. They sell cheap souvenirs."

THATS IT! I know it sounded fishy when she told me about the half-day thingy. Now that she has spoke up about the cheap souvenir shop I immediately knew it's a scam. Sorry Aunty Kebaya, u don't look convincing enough for us.

"It's ok. We're going to Siam Center first. And don't wanna buy any souvenir. We'll get that from the market later. Thanks." 

Sambil aku kasi hadiah muka poker face. We sure look like tourist to u Aunty kebaya but we ain't that gullible. Gitu kan confident aku jawab. Part kedai murah aku ndak mau percaya, tapi part mall buka lambat...I half-heartedly bought her words. Choi betul!

Thus I decided to just walk to Siam Paragon instead using the skywalk. Memang exercise supertapaki terbaik di awal pagi. Ada tujuan pun aku mau menerjah area ni. Ndak lah sampai mau rabakkan poket di Paragon tu, aku kaya level gaban lagi. Just that, prior coming I have jot down few cafe in my ngopi-list. Few of the creative dessert cafes I found from Lily's blog. Trip Ong Bak ni memang banyak ceduk ilmu dari dia. I wanted to go to at least two or three cafes but managed to tinggal jejak at one cafe only. Nevermind for I will be back in no time. Gitu ayat untuk assure diri sendiri. 

Kamsahapnida!!

Assalamualaikum...

Am bless with so many generous people around me. What more could I asked for from Him. Thanks for the ingatan ladies. Insha Allah dengan cara begini dapat kuatkan ikatan ukhwah antara kita.
