Now its my turn to add a post about my Thai trip too. F went to bangkok but i just hopped over the border to the little town of Hat Yai. Its one of my fave spots for a short vacation. Great shopping, great food and great massages!
The night b4 the trip to Hatyai , I didn't sleep well at all as always cuz i was thinking about what i had forgotten to pack and worried that i may over sleep. i think i only had about 3 or 4 hrs of sleep. But i woke up once the alarm went off and i was ready in 20 min . we went and picked up the rest of the passengers and met at my bro-in-law's house. We left in 2 cars , and stopped for breakfast at Bidor. Their specialty was wantan mee. It was not really spectacular but ok , i guess we can say its nice esp the shrimp wantan :) and after that we continued the journey. We made it to the border by lunch time and after checking into the hotel ( Mayflower Grande) , we went for a nice lunch at the Chinese shop right opp. Lee garden! Then it was shopping after that. i bought 2 pairs of shorts and that was when i knew i was FAT . i couldn't get into them at all. they would not get past my thighs !! so i went back and changed those for a denim skirt ! and i got a medium sized one and even that didn't fit me!! i had to get a Large ! see what i mean! ???? :( PIGGY me! Dinner was really nice and we ate at one of our fave restuarants simply called 59! . i was so bloated from eating too much and i even had beer. Phew. It was more shopping after that and i only got to sleep at about 1am!!! The next morning breakfast was at 8.30am but i was awake at 5.30am cuz i really had to go to the bathroom to pee ! and i had over eaten as well , so i also had to poo-poo at 5.30am! Hee Haa Haa! Breakfast was also another big meal at the regular haunt. I don't really fancy their noodles, bakuteh or chicken rice so i ordered eggs and ham, and even had 2 half boiled eggs with mini yau-cha-kuay! Shopping was even more intense on the 2nd day cuz we went to the market and bought a ton of stuff. I got 2 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of shorts and lots of T shirts. Lunch was in MK steam boat at the Big C . I reallyl love Thai steamboat, its very similar to the one in COCA. Again we over ordered and couldn't finish the food. Since we were at the mall we shopped some more but this time i didn't buy that much. I got a pair of PJs for myself and my mum! And diane and i bought a jacket each cuz it was really cheap and nice. We had that chocolate fondue with ice cream and fruits at Swenson at the shopping was all done, wooo hoooo!!! i was pretty tired, so by the time we got back to the hotel i had a short rest after a shower. Dinner was seafood stuff and it was delicious. The restaurant is called Hia Kui and the boiled cockles are soooo well done, bloody and soft ....hahahaa! Gross huh??? The tomyam was fantastic, the pineapple fried rice was to die for , and the grilled mackerel scrumptious! Drool drool! The night shopping was just so so and i bought some dresses. We had supper in the night cuz my niece and I wanted to make sure my youngest sis -in-law Pauline tried the duck noodles and she really liked it :) she ate a whole bowl by herself , but Mei and i shared one. We also had sotong bakar and lin chi kang!The next day for breakfast i decided to take it slow and shared a bowl of noodles with Diane :) and then it was back to the market and this time we targeted the bags and shoes. I bought a pair of formal court shoes in black velvet and a red bag. I really didn't want to get any more bags as i had bought about 4 last September when i was there. But everyone bought one , and they each got a different colour so i guessed it was nice and cheap so i opted for a red one and then everyone bought an Anna Sui dinner purse so i got one as well!! i just followed the crowd! Heck , everything was so affordable wat!!! For lunch i had suggested that we try western food cuz i noticed that Sizzler was having this very good deal . If u order a main dish ( grilled pork loin , beef steak or chicken at 16.90) , u get to have the appetizer and salad bar buffet free. it includes 4 varieties of soup and some desserts too! So we went for that , and it was a good choice. i had a steak and Diane had her grilled chicken. My hubby had steak. I loved the salad , and the dessert was the best, they had 2 choices of mousse ~ choc or strawberry. I shopped for just a bit more after that and went back to the room for a snooze. i was dead tired.At 7pm Mei called and asked if i wanted to get my hair done ! we had noticed that the Thai girls were walking around with some kind of glittery tinsel in their hair and we asked around and found that they tie some very fine tinsel strands into the hair and its pretty. They charge 1Rm for each strand. So we went for that , i got about 10 strands. and Mei got 20. My older niece did 27. !! later on even my older sis -in-law did some too! they had their manicure done too but i didn't want that. For dinner we went to this new place called Log terrace and it looks really wow.
The food there was ok , they all loved it but i hate eating in the dark so i didn't really like the food there :P the ambiance was nice tho. They have nice decor and its very outdoorsy with cave like structures and ponds with a waterfall and all that.I went for some last minute shopping after that but didn't buy much. i slept after i packed my stuff , and this time i slept till 8.30am .we had a quick breakfast and at the last minute i bought another pair of red sandals and a red t shirt . I guess i am all set for teh CNY with my very red ensemble! At 10am we checked out of the hotel and i ran over to McD to get a bacon burger and a mcflurry ! we left Thailand at 10.30am and it was a long journey home . The traffic was bad , and we only got home at 8pm! Phew!!!!But it was fun and i cant wait to go again :)
