1,596 miles and a whole lot of make-believe...

My favourite travel pals - Mom, Ben and Mel - whisked me off on a magical March trip for the week, and of course there were smiles to be photographed and memories to make, and who could think of a better place to make happy memories than ... the happiest place on earth... Disneyland! March along, happy people!

 

 

 It all began with a short flight

just 1,596 miles along...

And one of the perks of evening flights...

catching the sunset close-up!

I bet you're curious, and I'm happy to share! (Also, photos take way too long to upload themselves on Blogspot) So I thought this little slideshow would get us all in the magical mood for Disney!

Sing along, cos I know all the lyrics!

  

From running around in my new frock in Disneyland, to lazily traversing the "Grand Canal" at the Venetian Macao, I sure did my fair share of make-believe!

Ah, the world of make-believe! It's an art instilled in me by my Mom, who always makes me feel like I'm living my own little fairytale!

Here we are! The regular check-ourselves-in-the-mirror shot, juuust to make sure we've got our best faces forward!

I definitely savoured every moment! It's not every morning you wake up to such a view! (I did for quite a few mornings!)

My favourite twirl girls geared up for a day out!

I do believe those funky glasses aren't quite Mel's style, but hey - 3D movies call for fashion sacrifices every now and then!

And of course... even Disneyland wasn't spared the usual mayhem! Make-believe often goes hand in hand with m-i-s-c-h-i-e-f!

Ah, the usual "OOH!" when you come face-to-face with Disneyland!

Of course, it's Ben's favourite place! 

 

We've been there more times than we can count, but it never gets old! PLUS, they've got a brand new cowboy-themed land called Grizzly Gulch. We rode a wild-wild-WILD roller coaster but no pictures of that cos I was busy screaming myself hoarse!

(If you ever find yourself on a roller coaster next to my big brother Ben, and you look over at him midway through, you'll find him calm as a baby bear! Look at him in this photo... a picture of calm. Yes, he holds this too-cool-for-school face throughout the ride! I have no idea how he does it... that amazing Ben...)

 

Here I am just dizzy (really dizzy!) with excitement! Yes, I was that happy! Wanna know why? This here is the sweet spot for Wifi someplace in Macao ;) And also because I just had a great bowl of dessert, and we were on our way to a gondola ride! Happy things all around...

Soooooo, stay tuned for more quick-travels! Ben picked our next holiday, since we picked Hong Kong. And guess what Benji picked? Hmm...
I'll give you a hint... some call it the Queen City of the South!
See ya there ;)

Kimmy

Bangkok!

Hello, สวัสดี from Bangkok, กรุงเทพมหานคร, Thailand! 

Here're Mummy Dearest and Benji at tea-time before jetting off!

You just can't separate a Queen from her Cup of Tea!

Finally! Arriving at the Bangkok Airport!

Benji and his Yellow Luggage (perfect to match his Yellow Suits)

I spy with my big dolly eyes..A GREAT HOTEL!

You bet it was! How grand it was to have a walk-in-wardrobe-and-bathroom, with walls lined with full-length-floor-to-ceiling mirrors! Plus, the bathroom/dresser was almost half the size of the entire hotel suite.. i think that just makes for The Perfect Hotel Suite Award.

Authentic Thai cuisine, fit for a Queen!

Time for Dinner and..Which better choice to make other than dinner at the Thai Restaurant!

Desserts with SO many toppings?!

What makes us happy most? SHOPPING!

Checking out the buys!

Accessories sure light up our faces as much as they do our clothes!

The mall's a jungle, & only the best survive ;)

.. unless you're lucky to find Superman!

..or have a doll-face like mummy dearest!

After hauling back the large catch... cocktails were just what we needed! Refreshing :)

Benji and Melly all ready!

And to loosen up those muscles, a treat - Traditional Thai Massage!

Thumbs up for a lovely time!

Sweet Perks for a Suite Stay!

Refreshed and rejuvenated, (especially after sleeping in) Breakfast in bed!

Drinks by the pool bar Ben?

Yea, he'll need it... just to brace him for the hours of shopping-fun to come!

As every holiday goes... a new addition - just to pack all that shopping

Supper after an entire day of shopping (what better way to spend time in Bangkok other than shop right?)

Pretty Cakes shared out by my pretty mummy :)

Ben's all packed and ready to go!

The Queen's waiting in the lounge on the grand high throne... and GIRLSSSS?

we're comingg... wait for us!

i had a nice nap on the way back... waking up was kind of wonky though

Reunited and it feels so good!

Shopping in Bangkok was fantastic, unpacking... was impossible!!

Next destination: We head towards China's Southern coast, Land of lots of Food and Home to everything Good, 香港, HONG KONG! We'll also catch a ferry to Macau, and experience a little bit of Venice during our stay at The Venetian! Till the next blog-post~
