Most people prays to the 4 Face Buddha whenever they visit Bangkok. Is it a trend or what people most believes? 4 face Buddha's origin is from Hindu. In Thailand, it is known as "Phra Phrom" represents fortune and protection.

Since 5,000 years ago, the disciples of Brahamana had paid homage to Phra Phrom as their highest esteemed God in their religion. The Brahamana religion was known to be one of the religions that has the longest history. This religion was mainly symbolished by 3 major Gods i.e. God Brahma // God Vishnu // God Siva who form the main body of the religion. The origin of this Trinity as that the Brahamana religion believed that these 3 Gods gathered their powers to create this world.

BRAHMA : Creator of the world and all things

VISHNU : Preserver of all things

SIVA : Destroyer that makes all things exists and perishes according to nature's cycles.

What does the faces means actually?

Front view: Business & Wealth // Left hand side: Wisdom

Back view: Health // Right hand side: Relationship & interpersonal

Worshippers normally pray to the buddha with joss sticks and also fruits or flowers to the buddha.

Actually it's all depends on yourself whether you believe or not. Superstitious?

It's just like what people usually says: 你相信就有, 不相信就沒有.

Just like me, my parents prays to "Guan Yin and all the Chinese god whereas my boyf pray to the Thai ones.

I'm a Free-Thinker actually, but i still give respect & offer to 4 Face Buddha for peace & safe.

Everyone has their own religion & what they worship or believe in.

We should respect one another's religion, aft all is god, simple.

 

Antique "well for people to rinse their hands, foot & sprinkle some on faces.

Known as Lucky Water, like what chinese said, 水是財! Give you some "heng" to "huat"! :D

As you can see these ladies are doing their traditional dance, it's somehow a kind of chanting.

Went a shopping mall opposite the temple [i forgotten the name] whereby everything inside is what you sees in our Ion Orchard! Louis Vuitton // Prada // Burberry etc.

Well, i bought myself [the most expensive stuffs i bought from there] a pair of blinggggggg flats from Melissa Jelly Dreams! Why is it called Melissa Jelly Dreams?

FOUNDER: Melissa Shoes, the brand that produces funky jelly flats, wedges and a lot more jelly in Brazil is coming to Thailand executive at Jelly Dreams stores. And if the two words "plastic shoes" make you think cheap, think again. 

But for all you die-hard environmentalists, although made from plastic, the company makes sure that 99.9% of their raw materials (even water) are recycled. The shoes themselves are recyclable!

Melissa has become a global fashion icon which has manufactured over 50 million pairs of shoes in the past 25 years -- 20 million of which were exported to 80 different countries. From sexy stilettos to fabulous flats, Melissa shoes have re-invented the much-loved jelly, bringing style and comfort to a whole new level.

Before you dismiss the thought by thinking jelly shoes=sweaty feet, check this out: 

Melissas are actually made of hypo-allergenic patented plastic called MELFLEX™. All Melissas have a candylicious scent. The shoes are also lined with fabric inside, so when one wears it, it doesn’t feel like plastic! xx

As every single pair inside was awesomely soft & comfy!! #screamsxz It's totally as soft as jelly made of excellent quality & materials which won't give you pain or ache even long hours in their heels! I think it totally worth the buy Sgd40+ whereby it should be selling at Sgd100+ actually? Loving my Pinky Blings Flats v much hehe!

Available only @ Gaysorn Plaza // Central Plaza Bangna // Siam Discovery Centre // Bangkok // Thailand

M B K - M A L L

Walked for 20mins and finally we found MBK mall! #phew 

Thou it's just 3 mrt station away but we me, Txy, Jam.Y & Stacey.L regretted for not taking the train as it's holiday we should walk to catch the sceneries, stuffs or deal that we don't get if we board the trains. I'm dying to get there for Naraya!! Btw til then i gotta realized Naraya stands for 曼谷包! Sucha cute name :D it's somehow mid level label there too.

Grab some bites while shopping before we head Chinatown for dinz!

If you could see clearly, there's Samurai PORK Burger whereby we don't get in sg!!!! ): How great could this be .. if sg removes all NO PORK NO LARD "Wow! Fantastic baby! ~

And of course we did try their pork burgers and A&W! Which no longer carry in sg too. "Delicious!" #candycrushinfluencelol 

And all the epic faces; scroll down xx

C H I N A T O W N 

Here we come! Chinatown!! 

Ease all my craves for Sharkfin Soup & Bird Nest! #meek!

Surprisingly to see handmade fruit juices nowadays whereby it's still trendy there! They had an instrument to squeeze all the juices out of the fruit & sell it in bottles. So it's absoutely freshly made!! Especially their pomegranate, so healthy & refreshing #yays 

Busy road & heavy traffic there so we'd a hard time crossing the road, so just "jay walk lol. So we just head into somehow similar "美真香" shop for all the goodies & souvenirs back to sg! All the "Pork-Flosssss . "Gao-Saiiiii . "Coconut Candyyyyy . "Cuttlefishhhhh ! Are you drooling? :X oops.  

 

Took a photo for Joanne.L w that cute little pig!

And off we go for dinz. 路邊攤! Some people might feel that it's dirty or unhygienic but their food was awesome! I don't mind going for roadside stalls as long the food is good, but i mind the dirtiness til some extend only :) btw i'm not afraid of cockroaches so no worries for me for roadside stalls, peacefully enjoying my food #wink!

Camwhoring w Joanne.L & Jovin.Y while waiting for our food. And my complexion sucks at that moment ): didn't sleep for many days, as we all are rushing for shopping in case we missed any places or any deals. Look at my dark circles ): I'm a sister of Jiajia & Kaikai, T said lol.

Btw if you're wondering what am i doing for the photo above. Yes you're right, i'm crying. But just a no reaction, totally silent cry. Some arguments w T when i video call backed sg, totally lost at that moment whereby i didn't even feel like crying, my tears just rolled down by itself and i feel quite sad inside my heart idk why thou it's just minor issues, as all along my relationship w T was almost perfect [being proud to say] we didn't break-up at all for an year plus, neither we always quarrel [maybe 10times in a year?] while just minor issues & we're fine aft few minutes lol? So people a'rd me, esp my bestfriends they know how fortunate & blessed i am, how well my boyf treats me & everyone was saying he's really a good boyf til that argument.

In fact Staciy.T said she didn't see my cry thru-out my this relationship, and she totally couldn't rem when was the lastime i broke down and burst into tears. Anyway, 10mins later T video call backed, i hung his call as i need a "cool down & so he whatsapp Joanne.L talking 'bt our issues and everything got fine and back t square :)

I'm grateful to have my bestfriends all a'rd standing by me regardless rain or shine, and even my bestf's boyfs Txy & Jam.Y who both tried t coax me when i'm crying thou i'm nobody t 'em [a ordinary friend at most] persuading me t eat and stop crying, cracking jokes and all just to cheer me up.

Thankyou Friends, I love you all.

I couldn't judge much 'bt the food as my mood wasn't that good so i didn't try much of the dishes they ordered except for my cravings, Sharkfin Soup & Bird Nest! :D just nice i finish crying and my mood gets slightly better then thy serve both up hehe! I couldn't say it's delicious like best that sg don't carry while awesomely acceptable, best issue is the price!! Cheap like you could never imagine! #cravingitverymuchnow!

 Bought these HelloKitty pens while walking to MBK mall previously, black for Ivy.S and pink for me! That's all for Bkk trip day 3! Stay tune for more .. G'morning world! Shall take a nap and get the steamboat ingredients done for tonight's clique reunion dinz cum' Jialing.H 21st birthday!
