here come the proper post on my Haadyai trip... know what, i didnt planned it earlier... on Thursday afternoon, my mum told me that she's going to Haadyai with my godparent and some other people... and i decided the very last minute to join them around an hour before they left at 10.30pm.... hehee.... then, i immediately sent a msg to my boss to apply for one day leave on Friday... :P

there're altogether 10 of us went in 2 cars.... we stopped at Gopeng to fetch my second aunt (Mum's sis).... and we had Ipoh Chicken Rice for supper at 1-ish... then, i slept all the way till we reached Changlun.... parked our car there and went into Haadyai by a big van...

the van can accomodate 10 of us plus our luggages.... quite comfy inside.... since it was the sky was still dark, didnt manage to capture a nice pic with my handphone.... lousy Nokia... :(

this is ME !!

who who ??

from Changlun, it took about 1 hour drive to reach Haadyai city.... again, i slept all the way there... muahahaaa... damn tired and sleepy ler... :P

they bought the room voucher from the agent cos it's cheaper than walk-in...


Thanaporn ?? some PORN thingie ??? hahaa...

me and my second aunt waiting inside the van...

reached Hotel Regency....

we checked-in our luggage.... and rested for a while before we went for our lunch...

camwhored in the room... there're too many mirrors in the room :P

our breakfast.... Chicken rice again... we had a total of 3 chicken rice meal in this whole trip...

after breakfast, we went for a walk at the market.... took a Tuk Tuk that cost 15baht per person...

in the Tuk Tuk... i looked very much like my mum in this pic... dont you think so ??

in the market....

bought a pair of sandal and nighties for myself... hehee... i bought some pineapples and mangoes also... this whole trip is all about eating especially pineapples... we had lots and lots of it !!

after some walk, we decided to go for the ancient Thai massage that cost 200baht per person for 2 hours massage.... we bought the coupon earlier, or else it will cost us 240baht per person... :)

time for a massage... :)

next, we went for lunch at the coffee house at the hotel lobby.... we had this famous Fish Head with Kuey Teow and also Pineapple Fried Rice...

nice glass....

hungry faces...

yummylicious Pineapple Fried Rice...

after lunch, we walked nearby the hotel....

spotted this man roasting the piglet nearby the hotel we're staying....

and of cos, the "jakun" fella took a photo with the piglet....

few hours later, it's dinner time !!!

had some Thai food in this restaurant... about 10 mins walk from the hotel...

Restaurant Prikhorm...

took a photo while waiting for the food...

after dinner, we had some walk around the hotel.... we stayed at the busiest street in Haadyai city... it's very much like pasar malam or our Petaling Street there... since my handphone couldnt take nice photo at night, i decided not to take any photos... :P

that's about it... a day full of walking and eating !!

damn tired ler...

Restoran Korean House

Lunch @ Korean House - SS2
15/03/08

went to Maybank branch at SS2 yesterday to collect my ATM card that i left at the cash deposit machine a week ago... luckily, there was some good samaritan who found my card and return it to the bank... and i actually saved RM12 to process a new card.. hehee...

went for lunch at a Korean House nearby... it was my first time eating at a Korean Restaurant... the last time i had Korean food was indeed 3 years back at Korea itself with my mum... :)

ordered a serving of Bulgogi (marinated beef) and Galbi (seasoned pork ribs) for the BBQ... we also ordered Dolsot Bibimbap (stirred and mixed rice served in hot stone bowl)... i still remembered i had this dish at Korea before and i love it so much because of the seaweed in it...

took some photos like a "jakun" fella... hahaa....

waiting for my food !!

the staff preparing the bulgogi for us...

varies Banchan (small side dishes) served at our table... the most famous Banchan is Kimchi, which i dont like the most... i remembered last time when i was in Korea, they served Kimchi in every single meal... and for sure, there were some left overs on every table which was the Kimchi... hahaa....


Dolsot Bibimbap... yummy yummy :)

and there it goes... added extra few pounds again... ohh noo.... it's time to diet !!!

Nirvana Memorial Park & Sierramas

Nirvana Memorial Park @ Semenyih
09/03/08

woke up as early as 5.30am on Sunday morning... joined my relatives from my mum's side for Ching Ming or Qingming at Nirvana Memorial Park at Semenyih...it is the day for mourning the dead, a day for Chinese families to visit our ancestors graves... it falls in early April every year, and this year, it falls on the 3rd of April... the descendants will need to "sweep the graves" of their ancestors... and it's also a time for happy communion with the family members to show respect to their ancestors... like US !! hehee....

this was the first time we joined my mum's side for the Qingming... cos, after my mum married to my dad, she's considered as a part of the Soo family... and we, the children will only pray to our grandparent from father side... except for this time, cos my grand uncle came all the way from China with his family members, so we just joined the crowd.... :)
