Basking In The Sweet Sun – Pattaya, Thailand.

Time flies.

It’s been a little over a month since my friend’s wedding brought me over to Pattaya for a rather unique five-day getaway. ♥

The tightly packed schedule filled my itinerary with events after events of what was my first official ‘Indian-styled” wedding of a close high-school friend. Although, I say ‘Indian-styled’, what I mean is actually in the most simmered down sense. The actual wedding lasted for a consecutive of three days, which is a cut back from the average seven day + Indian weddings.

Anyways, pictures speak faster than words, so I’ll let them do the talking. :)

Beautiful table setting.

The wedding cake we never got to eat.

Who would’ve guessed. The friend that beat us all to the punch. Congrats my dear K. ♥ :)

Indian weddings are known for their ability to deprive you of sleep and expect some intense dancing out of you. So, from the youngsters to the elders, with a long day behind us, every one was here for some good partying.

Bollywood dancing is really the way to go. ☆

But, nothing is without some Thai dancers. Lol.

Arabian Nights, Arabian Days~ ♥

As opposed to a camel or an elephant, our Princess Jasmine entered on a white horse. ^^

There were three main events. 1. Hollywood/Red-carpet, 2. Bollywood / Indian Wedding Ceremony, and 3. Arabian Pool Party. Three events also meant ‘three’ different sets of wardrobe. For the first night I chose to wear a full-length purple gown. Second night called for an Indian Sari/Lehnga, which I opted in royal turquoise. Lastly, the third night required something more versatile and ‘pool’ suitable, thus concluding with a summer floral knee-length dress.

(More pictures were posted on twitter.)

Unfortunately, I was without my camera for the Hollywood Red-Carpet event, but to be honest I didn’t really need it. Knowing K, it wouldn’t be her wedding without photographers and a film crew… Now, just got to wait for those photo-books and DVDs to hit my post box. ^^

So, after all the early mornings and late nights, I had a remaining day and a half to venture of into the Thai terrain… and when I think of Thailand (apart from the exotic dancers), I only think of three things… Water sports, Pad Thai, and of course…… Thai massage! :D

Parasailing ♥

Coral Island, Pattaya.

Spending the days lying poolside, with sunglasses and earphones was really a vacation that I hadn’t had in more than 10 years. All the staff were amazing, room-service was exceptional, the complimentary Thai drinks got me addicted, and the best thing yet… they had free wi-fi!! And…adding onto that some para-sailing, beach swimming, cheap shopping and Thai massaging, made it a really memorable trip.

Thanks for having us K. ♡

 

Let’s watch as the sun goes down, everything’s magic. // Macau.

お久しぶり ★ 오래만애요! ^^

Been absent from blogging for seven months, but I’m back!^^ …and with some travelling to show for. Hehe.

So, we didn’t really go far, just to Macau, but it’s not the distance that matters in travelling right? Hehe. It’s the memories that you come back with. And ooo, did we come back with some irreplaceable memories♥ ㅋㅋ

So, actually we went on this trip for two reasons, #1 being my friend’s pre-birthday getaway / first trip together, and #2 being for filming and video footage purposes.

I hadn’t actually been to Macau alone, usually I just tag along with my parents. So, this time round, I finally got to understand a little about Macau’s geography. Lol! At least after wondering around, I kind of know where things are in relation to each other now. やった!ㅋㅋㅋ(笑)Macau is small. Keke.

 

よし〜行こうぜ!スケジュールスタート〜☆

 

This place is so beautiful. So relaxing. We spent so much time there. Keke.

ここは本当にキレイなところで、めちゃ好き♡ 夜にきっとロマンチックな雰囲気になれる場所。

 


Actually, it was really really really hot that day! Haha. But somehow I still look so chill.

Haha pictures can be deceiving, kekeke. Looks like spring.  :P

 

Found this amazing location to film a Macau version of the Kimi Ni Todoke scene where Sawako meets Kazehaya. Keke.

Or maybe… just a nice place in general to film something next time. ^^

 

The well-known tourist place to take pictures – Cathedral of St. Paul’s.

Also, speaking of being a tourist, I’ll be heading to Pattaya, Thailand on Friday. Yay! Which means airports, resorts, beaches, sunshine…. and weddings! Haha, yea, I can’t believe I’ve reached that age (although actually she is just an early bloomer). Anyways, it’s not like a cousin’s, or family friend’s, or some distant friend’s wedding… but my very own friend’s wedding. So insane. Nonetheless a good excuse to go travel, haven’t seen the beach in three years, and haven’t been to a resort in over ten years. :)

Anyways, back on track.

Artsy Vintage Store.

 

Travessa Da Paixao (戀愛巷) – Path of Love/Passion

Came across this alley near by the cathedral. Was totally quiet and no one was around.

I sort of understand now why it get’s that name. It is indeed very romantic.

A really good place to chill at night and just chat.

 

Lastly, one of my favourite hotels – The Hard Rock Hotel♥  :)

A lot of the new hotels are nice, but the Hard Rock just has that much more personality. Not to mention, the wall of guitars. Very cool. And plus it has better music. Though, I do quite like the Wynn Hotel also. Probably because the decor has a lot of red. ^^

Anyways, we had way too much fun going through the city being dorky. Luckily, we did manage to take some good footage. Hopefully, our next project will bring us a little further, perhaps to Korea. Hehe. Probably, in September/October. This time for my birthday, maybe? Hehe. 楽しみ〜☆^^
