My Red & White party

Its been 2 years since i had my last line dance party and my "students" were bugging me to organize another. I had dragged it for half a year and finally succumbed to the pressure! So i chose a date , picked a venue , decided on the theme and printed the tickets.


It was basically a one man show but i managed to pull it thru. I was aiming for 30 people but in the end , more than 60 showed up. The Watsons sales came on time and i managed to get 60 door gifts at a very fair price. And the prizes for the night were also from Watsons.

The venue was an easy choice as i like the ambiance it provided. The Botanic Resort Club is easily accessible and beautifully designed. And the management was nice enough to provide a reasonably presentable backdrop with a choice of 40 characters free of charge.
They also provided a music technician to handle the audio system.

The food left much to be desired as they seem to provide less than what we had paid for. They said that they will top up once the food is eaten up but they were slow. It was a good thing that i persuaded them to allow me to bring in some outside food . Our portions were a lot more satisfying that the ones the resort was handing out!! I think the dancing was satisfactory and we all had fun. ( i know i did!) But most of all , i am just glad its over! Phew!

Thai Food !!

Dec 3rd was a day i was longing for since my girls went back to their faraway Universities. It wasn't really planned very much in advance. We had wanted to take a trip to some other places like Taiwan and Hanoi came to mind but Airasia was not giving very good fares for the dates we wanted to travel so it was back to the regular haunt in the south of Thailand.
Hatyai is a place we never get tired of going. The shopping is good, the hotels are comfortable, the local tuk tuks make every food haven and shopping complex easily accessible and the food is to die for!!!! And to prove that last point, here are pics for u to drool over!
