Breaking free

Some things decline as time goes by.

Letting go

is an art of maturity.

It's probably safer to listen to your head

rather than your heart.

It takes a strong man

to walk out of his comfort zone.

I finally found myself a weekend to indulge in glorious food and splendid shopping.

HATYAI...

Pondan show

Some men were REALLY pretty, some not so much.

I wonder how their parents would have felt if they watch these guys perform.

 

It costs abt Rm50 per entry, for an hour show.

She was shaking her fats the whole time...

Costs Rm10 to take pic with them =S

Finger-licking good!

We had SO MUCH of good food in Hatyai.

They were really tasty, probably because the tour guide only brought us to good places, plus he was the one who ordered most of the dishes.

I wouldn't say the food is cheap though.

Supper after pondan show

Sharing a bowl of duck noodle.

Lin chee kang.

Duck noodle.

Tom Yam. Drools.

More tom yam.

Mango kerabu.

Greem curry.

Squid salad.

And more tam yam...

Mango sticky rice.

Blue rice?

This is my fav dish. =D

Porridge for breakfast.

Thai dim sum is pathetically tiny.

 

They have pork burger in McD. Gasp.

  

 

Chicken ham pie. Yummy.

Mc Cafe.

Shark fin. RM 40.

Bird nest with coconut. RM20

 

Bird nest with ginko. RM20

Deep fried worms.

My first time EATING worms. So proud of myself=P

At the lake house. They transport our dishes in a boat.

Floating market. There was so much of food there. Really like that place.
Nice to shop too. =D

Barter system. Money for food.

Temples.

We visited about 3 temples, they were all nice.
Some of us spent like 20mins to pray and put joss sticks on every alter under the searing sun.
Totally turned 10 tones darker.

Traditional Thai massage. RM30 for 2 hours.

Lots of camwhoring session.

 

That's pretty much what we did the whole trip.

I thk at a point, the tour guide was pretty frustruated with us.

It was really fun though, experimenting with the angles and settings =)

 

 

I nearly forgotten the high light of this trip.

"THAI GIRL" show a.k.a "TIGER" show.

We watched that and it was.....

disturbing..

disgusting..

and..

shocking..

RM50 for an hour show.

No pictures are allowed so i'm sorry,

I have none.

That's about it.

 

 Of Food. Fun. and. Goods.

Cheers to good vacation!

Midnight love

I believe in myself,

 I hope

you believe in me

too.

(there was supposed to be a video of Amos here but it took too long to process, so i took it off)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The feeling is mutual, I hope.

Can't wait to pat Amos' head when he comes home later. =)

Spent a good 3 hours in Daorae last night.

Totally broke Lois' record.

She said even buffet doesn't take that long.

Oh well, consequence of over-ordering.

We left without finishing anyway.

Was way too stuffed.

Good dinner though.

I haven't laughed so hard and so real in a long time.

It was as if I was high on alcohol.

Bro's friend (Pablo) from Spain/US, came over to visit.

He's so funny sometimes I wished he never stopped talking.

CNY holiday was so much of catching up with old friends.

Good times.

I guess the fact that it only happens once a year makes me appreciate it even more.

It has never been so profound,
a lifetime friend have I found.
Let our friendship be a bond,
which can never be like a dry pond.

Let us not forget the dreams we share,
forever like sisters or brothers we care.
You'll always be a friend to me,
and that's the way it should be.

Once upon a time..

GONG XI FA CAI!

I never realized that today is CNY eve.

It has been 4 years since I celebrated CNY,

5 years since I celebrated with my immediate family.

The funny thing is,

I don't quite feel excited about it,

not like I always did.

maybe I've lost touch with it.

I don't quite have new clothes to wear.

And that doesn't really bother me.

This scares me a little.

We're checking out of hotel tmr.

Will get to spend more time with Amos then=)

I don't know if it's a good idea to bring Amos along when I go "Pai Lin".

Hopefully he'll be obedient if I do bring him along.

*fingers crossed*

Hopefully it'll be a good CNY.

Have a festive celebration!

*hugs*
