Sirocco Sky Bar @ State Tower, Bangkok

*pic stolen from the web*

the colourful Bar at the edge on top of the State Tower, coz the lights changes colour fr time to time
perched on the 64th Floor, it is the World's Largest Open-air Restaurant & Bar
opened in 2003, Sirocco was featured in the movie Hangover 2
*go watch it*

the view once u entered the place or more like exited out from its Dome
the sudden rush of dizziness drowned me...oh no~~~~

the elevator journey up to the top was pretty long
yeah it was long due to the queue of white tourists but thankfully many guests were turned down bcoz of dress code non-compliance

I dunno why some ppl think they can go to a restaurant or bar in their gym wear, sneakers, slippers, short pants etc
well unless if u own the place
come on, respect the place and dress nicely for it!!!!
*this is pretty evident in Malaysia too, ppl goin clubbing in their slippers??? mind u, it wasn't a glass slipper, but that's a different story all together*
I snoop my head outta my tortoise shell to peek at the view...
as u all know, I'm terrified of heights
there were tonnes of securities standing by...blocking guests from coming to close to the edge
based on this, I assumed there were cases of drunk guests doin stupid things?
both the bar and restaurant were on the same area
we were here to celebrate BCBG Amy's XX-th Birthday
like me, she was also afraid of heights
-_-" then why lar u chose this place?
even the Moon came out to play that night
:))))))))))))))))))

from here, u can get a 360 panoramic view of the entire Bangkok city

I wasn't too keen to walk around but chose to remain glued to my seat that evening
prollie insufficient alcos...maybe after a few drinks I would be so happy that I'll tour every corner of the bar :P

we really really dislike this grand staircase
once your elevator reached the top of the building...you'll be inside the Dome
and when u exit the Dome...is where the top of the staircase starts

with a width of more than 3 metres...it's one of the widest steps I've encountered
while u were standing on the 64th floor, trying to get your bearings with the wind blowing ur head off, it's almost impossible to stand still and balance urself
not to mention descending this grand staircase in the most lady-like manner u could

WHY???
coz hundreds of eyes would be watching u
this is a place to watch and to be watched

U don't wanna be in the casualty statistics
of wat u wondered?
falling down the stairs
coz u dun just fall one step....it's so tiny and steep u'll land on a few steps b4 your body lose ur momentum and stop

that evening, we sat there watching ppl falling,
or ladies trying to hold on to their hair,
their dresses as the wind lift everything up
and tipsy guests maneuvering the staircase up and down with a glass on the other hand
>.<


after 3 hours, BCBG Amy and Monkey took up some courage to walk to the edge where the round bar sat
holding each other hands tightly, we inched our way slowly....as slow as the tortoise reaching out for that piece of kangkung
-_-
our hands were crushing each other intensely as we walked nearer to the edge...okie almost there...
almost.....just a lil bit more...
then we were on the round bar at the edge of this building
closing our eyes we exhaled breathe of relief that we were still safe
began to relax a bit and enjoy the beautiful view

Monkey whispered to BCBG Amy: "Happy Birthday Babe.....:))))"
BCBG Amy :)))))))))))))))
while we were basking under the moonlight
absorbing all that's happening around us
and our feat of almost ...almost conquered our fear for heights....
someone bobbed outta nowhere, passed us and say..."Hey u all should walk to the end of this bar and stand here...."
he then continued to jumped on the spot, demonstrating that this bar is entirely safe
he continued to mocked and challenged us ladies
we let him do watever he wanted
for he's BCBG Amy's husband........hehehehe

If u are looking for something exciting with large open space this is it
however I preferred the other Sky Bar at Banyan Tree for it's more intimate, casual and cosy
*read bout my visit to Vertigo Bar, Banyan Tree*
since life is so short, I must visit all the sky bar in Bangkok!!!!
hehehehehehhe

Vertigo Bar, Bangkok

It was Ms. Monkey's birthday and JS brought all of us here *incl Berr*
Vertigo & Moon Bar at Banyan Tree Bangkok

he hired a driver and a car for the whole nite and we were chauffeured around
anyway service industry in Thailand is top notch nobody can beat that
every single time before Monkey can jump out of the car in glee
the driver has already jumped out faster than me *how can???* to open the door and held out his hand
so why is she so unhappy here?
lookin like she's about to cry?
deep in thoughts.......must be calculating how many candles to blow :P
kekekekekekeke
nope I was in FRIGHT!!!!!
think I was almost in tears~~~~
Vertigo & Moon Bar is actually at the ROOFTOP of Banyan Tree
roof top as in no roof lor~~~~~~~


*pics stolen fr the web*
it's almost like sitting on titanic on top of the hotel :P
GAH SCARY!!!!
I vely scared!!!!!

we chose a table which was NOT next to the glass ledge
if u look down fr the glass ledge..there's nothing in between urself and watever that's down there
it just drops all the way down......
GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

the entrance fr the lift foyer
u'll need to climb 2 more floors before reaching this roof top bar and restaurant

it took Monkey so so much courage just to walk up and down this flight of steps
I glued meself as close as possible to the wall
despite not feeling my feet.....it was like draggin someone's legs which were attached to my body all the way up
the gust of wind made it worse....arghhhhhhhh
this place is divided into 2 sections
the dining aka restaurant and the BAR
so it's pretty big and can accommodate hundreds of ppl

still no smiles fr Monkey :((((

JS said Bangkok is not one of the brightest city in the world...
yeah I think he's right
but then it's so BIG!!!!!
with 12 million population in this metropolis
*KL is only a city and not metro*
wait!!! lemme locate our hotel!!!!
hmmmm...now where is it?

JS went around snapping pics
while I continued to rattle on my chair
Monkey & Berr
I think I got used to the heights after some time
anyhow I was clutching my chair the whole nite :P
and didn't move

was quite windy and cool up there
and it was Full Moon
perfect :))))))))))
cept that I kept on clutching my chair and imagined what it feels like if the building falls backwards
T_T
then time to go home....
my legs were so jelly-liked...I had to hug the handle of the steps to get down to the lift lobby
can't feel anything at all :P
Thank you for bringing me here :D
or I brought u here? kekekekekekek
next time we'll come here for sunset cocktail ok? :))))))))))))))

The Rock Bar, Ayana Resort

Rock Bar sits at the edge of those volcanic stones
*anyhow Bali was formed this way*

Rock Bar is a must go whenever u r in Bali for its beautiful sunset
the ambience and the spirit of being there
well u just have to be there to feel it
kenot describe dy :P
We were lucky to have stayed in Ayana to enjoy this beautiful bar :)
we came here everyday for sunset....kekekekekekeke
to access one must go down via the tiny beautiful white cute elevator
that looked more like roller coaster

otherwise take the stairs
but our legs *okie i admit more like only my legs* were so tired
fr swimming and kicking inside the pool :P
just like a few minutes down only
but the lil elevator can only accommodate 4 person at a time on the way down
and 3 person up

Rock Bar opens from 5pm daily...
so be sure to come like errrm...4.30pm bcoz it's alwiz FULL by 5pm sharp
unless if it rains
priority are given to resort guests
and NO RESERVATION
T_T
I really hate the word no reservation :"(
lurve their bar
it has a glass top that looked like a huge sheet of ice
definitely set the mood of icy cold drinks...
kekekekekeke
there are seats at the lower deck too
currently Rock Bar is expanding
coz it's really really limited with the number of guests

u can see the queue of eager guests lining up at the reception
I would be very disappointing if I were them :P
coz GAWD knows how long u have to wait to get a table :D
they do have a canapes menu here if u r hungry
fr chicken pop corns to small cute lil pizza
the above was mozzarella fingers fried wrapped in spring roll skin
with basil dips

I was surprised to find it was real fresh MOZZARELLA
dear gourmet friends, u'll know which cheese I'm referring to
not the processed one
Bintang Beer is Indonesia's pride
think the alcohol content is less then 3% but on the bottle it states less than 5% or was it 4%?
it's so smooth
Monkey had a yummy Mangotini!!!!
very nice pic composed by JS
*by the way credits to JS for all pics taken in Bali*

the lower deck also filled up very quickly
lurve the waves hitting against the rocky cliffs
when the tide is high....guests on the front line do get wet
hence all the towels around

but it's such an exhilarating experience
enjoying your cold drinks
the smell of sea, with good friends, yummy finger foods
and suddenly u hear a loud crash of waves hitting the rocks underneath u
and VOILA
so fun to watch ppl got wet fr the waves and screaming away in laughter
:)))))))))))))
tapioca chips n the lil frangipani that fell fr my hair :P
Ayana Resort serves *do u call serve if it's inedible?*
hot or cold towel according to needs
think I prefer icy cold towels :D
we sat at the highest tier
with a private viewing deck
coz JS needs AMPLE unobstructed view to set his tiga kaki TRIPOD
*slaps forehead*

and started clicking the moment he fninished his setup
all I could do was to roll my eyes
coz every single occupants there thought we were some production company
trying to shoot pics for some advertising company
*more rolling eyes*

anyhow he took plenty of amazing superb pics
so totally worth all my slapping forehead + rolling eyes
slurp slurp slurp slurp
kinda forgotten the name of this but TOTALLY YUMMY cocktail
concoction of lychee, lime and liquer
the table next to us ordered the same

"I want that one..the exact one that beautiful pink lady is drinking"
thought cocktails are meant for ladies

saw some regulars there who actually have their own private bottles of glenmorangie....as in they keep their bottles there :P
O_O
so folks...do come by here...
enjoy the sunset
and watch the time goes by

Sky Bar, Traders Hotel

Si Fu Lawrence & Bagaholic Tracie were staying at Traders Hotel
JS was the one who suggested that we go to SKY BAR for a drink
*blame him OK??? MUAHAHAHAH*

MR. JS??? JS?!?!??! Sky Bar???
guess his fever is taking the toll on his mind too.

well guess readers would've known why is Bagaholic named that way
if u purchased bags till the country manager is your friend...then she really deserves that nick
not one brand....but most of the brands............-_-
u are the QUEEN, my role model!!!
Shopaholic Tracie & Si Fu Lawrence
any sane boyfriends/husbands will keep their other halves away fr u
bad influence.
anyway I'm already one
Munchy is trying to get Wei Nee away fr me now. :P
JS & Monkey
Si Fu Lawrence & JS were monitoring the clock over Maxis tower
we arrived at 11.11

waited for minutes to get a table
*well if u wanna crash this place last minute, u stand*

later at 11.16 some foreign worker finally took our drinks order
I almost had to whack them on the head with the menu

at 11.27 Si Fu was still admiring the huge digital clock over Maxis Tower
"our drinks not here yet"

and BEHOLD at 11.40 after various reminders and throwing tantrums
2 outta 3 orders came

Monkey & Shopaholic were too busy snapping pics and chatting to actually remember all these,
but the men's face were as long as horses + girrafes.

11.50 the last order(gin tonic) finally came!!!!
JS gulped down his drink in 5 seconds, paid the bill and left.

anyway the bill part was another long story coz it took them very long
to process the payment and JS was freaking out coz his Amex was still with them.

:P
