Alright! Sunday night. :) My girls joined in...and we decided to go to Suan Lum Night Market ....to chill out at that area. Cool shirts that changes colours...as if I am in a pub... Colourful lights :) Still heaps of things to see but I reckon after a long day of shopping... TIP # 7: do non shopping stuff at night to prepare yourself for the next day.......eg a Massage or like these fellow here....Fish Spa... The fish got their favourite feet.....I wonder if they all died the next day??? Now this is a mini tuk-tuk....made from recycling cans...

'what if I forget the choreo? ... 'what if my stamina won't last me through... afterall the training I get in the last 5 days was continuously 12 hours of shopping??? .....
