Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale

Synopsis: In 2026, two years since the SAO incident, a new game called "Ordinal Scale," an Augmented-Reality MMO, is becoming popular among the players. But strange things are happening in the game and Kirito and the gang are facing a new danger. [Source: Golden Village]

Just when I thought the SAO series had ended well, from SAO to ALO to GGO, the producers has outdone themselves again with this one-shot movie Ordinal Scale, linking the events after the GGO. With fresh ideas, characters and plot, past history of the SAO came back to haunt the group again, this time, in an AR environment. A movie not to be miss for fans of SAO.

Thailand Day 5 - Artbox Bangkok

03 Feb - With no plans for the day, we went back to Platinum Mall to have our breakfast and continued shopping for clothes. When we are done, we visited Artbox Bangkok, which will be coming to Singapore in April 2017 @ Marina Bay. Link below for more details:

Artbox is a pop-up flea market where most of the stalls are housed in giant metal shipping containers selling signature Thai food and small items ranging from clothing to earrings to artwork. They are similar to Chatuchak, except that there is a live stage where artists performs while audiences sat on hay stacks or cushions chilling out the night over some food and drinks. Pretty interesting concept.

Thailand Day 4 - Baiyoke Sky Tower, Terminal 21

02 Feb - Since we didn't purchased the breakfast together with the accommodation, we started the day late instead and headed straight for the Baiyoke Sky Restaurant Buffet Lunch which will commence at 11am. From the review, tourist have suggested to go for the first slot as the restaurant will be full as the time approaches lunch and the staffs are not replenishing the food after 1230pm to prepare for the next slot of buffet eaters at 1pm. I am glad that I really chose the 11am slot as by 1130am, the whole restaurant is full with tourists from tour groups which just kept coming one after another. Variety of the food served is good and in my opinion, the Thai section is still the best.

Before we head for lunch, we have some time to explore the Baiyoke Sky Tower and take photos of the Bangkok City view.

After we are done, we headed to Terminal 21 next to explore the internal decorations of the mall. Interestingly, each level has their own theme and we had some fun taking photos of them.

And last but not the least, Taokaenoi Land. 

Our night was spent meeting up with Ong and Eve over dinner, catching up with one another since we last saw them about 1.5 years ago. =) Thanks Ong and Eve for the dinner treat.

Thailand Day 3 - Bangkok

01 Feb - Spent the morning hanging around while YB visited the Sanctuary Of Truth before we catch our transport back to Bangkok. By the time we checked in and ready to hit the street, it was already 4pm. We immediately set out for the Platinum Mall to shop for cheap clothes. As usual, the roads of Bangkok is full of vehicles.

For dinner, we visited the Greyhound Cafe near Siam Paragon and discovered that they served fantastic shrimp soup and meals whose spiciness are on a whole new level.

Thailand Day 2 - Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark & Tiffany's Show

31 Jan - Woke up to a bright sunny morning with a clear view of the Pattaya city from the balcony of our hotel room on the top floor. Today is definitely a good day for water activities, which we have planned to go to Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark, which is an iconic attraction for tourist.

Having spent half a day at the park sliding down their slides, we had our dinner there to expense off the remaining credits we had purchase before heading over to the Tiffany's Show Pattaya, a Transvestite Cabaret Show now in its 40th year running. The whole show lasted about an hour with non-stop singing and audiences are treated with a flood of costume extravaganza.

Thailand Day 1 - Pattaya

30 Jan - A short break away from work making use of the long weekend due to Chinese New Year and company shut down. The SIA ticket sale promotion was a great help in pushing for us to make the short relaxing trip to Thailand.

Since there was nothing much for us to do during the Chinese New Year break, we met early to have lunch in T2 and have some time to take photos of the Snorlax camping under the tree. 

By the time we reached Bangkok, it was already evening and we were quickly whisked away for our arranged pickup to our Pattaya hotel, which was a 90 mins drive away. Wasting no time, we quickly have our dinner and visited the famous walking street, which was full of bars, restaurants and touts promoting "Sinful" shows. Definitely not a good choice to bring your kids there.
