Gawd, laziness had gotten the best of me. I wonder how long have I delayed this post. 1 year? Procrastinating sure is a pain in the butt, I felt so darn troubled that I had trouble sleeping. It's just been bugging me for as long as I can remember. Anyway, let's just finish this post so that I can sleep peacefully again.
Let's start with the Thailand trip on December on the sixth.
Our family (Sui and the Wong[cousins] family) decided to have a last minute trip to Hatyai. We went there with a tour bus, along with another group of tourist. The tour guide for our trip was called Ah Ho. That's right, Ah Ho, Gun-Ga-Zai (family care-taker) from Moonlight Resonance. Well, we called him Gun-Toi-Zai (Tour care-taker) instead.
Ignore that picture of me and my brother. XD
The trip itself wasn't all that bad, the scenery is quite good and all except for the fact that we can't see anything during the night. Yup, that's right, we went there at night on the fifth. The journey took a toll of 9 hours... I think. Didn't sleep through the whole journey or rather couldn't, the bus' air-conditioner was too darn cold and had to borrow my jacket to first my mom, then my cousin.
When we arrived the next morning, my butt was both frozen and flat. After crossing the border and all, we had a little breakfast in a small restaurant. The food there was nice. They sell Chinese food. I ordered myself a Hokkien Fried Yee-Mee.
The rest ordered porridge. Fish, chicken, pork, you name it.
After that, we continued on our trip. Instead, of going to the hotel to check in first, we visited various temples. Oh and the tour guide was changed to someone who referred to himself as Mr.Miew or something like that... Darn fella was annoying, in every sentence that comes out from his mouth, it would always end with an 'oh' in Chinese slang.
e.g. Now, in your left, you would see the temple of (didn't pay attention, which leads to my poor results in academies XD). Oh.
During the nineties, (didn't pay attention either.). Oh.
See? Imagine hearing that during the whole trip. Oh.
Darn, now I'm doing it!
Arrrghhh!! Don't eat me!! XDThen we stop by a bird's nest store and enjoyed a few Thai delicacies, that's right Bird's Nest.
One of their delicacies; ginger tea.Then had a little lunch. Thai tom yams can sure pack a punch to your throat, no pun intended.
Later on, we visited yet another temple. They said that this temple was filled with corpses. My family dared not to go down. A few of the the tourists went down to pray for good luck. I would've gone down and snag a few pictures too had not my bladders' were ready to explode at any given time.
Reached to the hotel. It was called Grand Central hotel. I then just realized that it was the same hotel that we lived in when I was 10. That was the same hotel where my gread-grandfather passed away. Crap, hoped that at night, things wouldn't happen.
Oh yeah, I managed to take in a few pictures of the hotel and the room that I stayed in with my brother.
Rested for a few minutes and went out shopping. Nothing much in particular, just bought a few souvenirs back and a few clothes. When we were in an Addidas shop, (or was it Nike or Pumma or Umbro?) my brother played with one of the shop's wigs used for display for the bald figures.
Lol, then we headed back to the hotel and went out for our dinner later at night and an 'entertainment' that would ultimately change my perspective of girls. O_O
We went to this dinner area called Hamsa Entertainment Club. Just by the sound of it already made me wander to my train of thoughts.
Anyway, dinner was pretty short. We were all pretty hungry and we pretty much swept every eatable things that was on the table in just matter of minutes. We then head to the area where our 'entertainment' was supposed to be. Later, I had wished that we hadn't eat that fast. It took the entertainers a friggin one hours to prepare while we waited there like fools.
After nearly throwing my chair to the stage, the entertainers finally showed up and gawd how I'd wish I never see it.
A bunch of hotties came out and began dancing and all.
I overheard one of the audience saying that they are all guys. I was like what the fu? Don't friggin kid with me man! I mean, look at those boobs, body figures and those looks. I don't think those boobs would lie to me but I stand corrected. O_O They were all indeed MEN!!!
After the end of the show, the 'performers' gathered outside the club and asked for tips. I almost went and take a picture of them had not I heard one of them saying:
"Hey, wanna give my breast a squeeze? Give me some money and they're all yours,"
I immediately walked away like it wasn't my business. On that night, I was both disturbed and disgusted. Something was definitely wrong with the club. It should be renamed as HamsaP Entertainment Club!
After that disturbing entertainment, we went back to our hotels and slept. Thank God I didn't had nightmares on that night. Slept like a dead log.
The next day, we went to yet another temple.
That temple was swarming with monkeys. Then there was this one monkey sitting nearby, my mom wanted to take a picture with 'him' (saw his dingdong XD) and she did.
Then when it was my turn and surprisingly the monkey walked closer to me. Guess it was because of the Baby Milo (a monkey-based logo shirt) shirt I'm wearing. The picture was perfect but before my mom could take the picture, he ran away when a few passerby scared him off.
I got' dumped' by the monkeySheesh, those people had no brains or eyes for this matter.
On the way exiting the temple, I saw this one island that looked like a mouse.
We then headed to a beach and took a few pictures. The weather from there on was pretty windy and cloudy.
The tour guide told us when the Japanese invaded Malaysia from Thailand during WWII, that beach was where they started their invasion to Malaysia.
Seeing the wind was so strong, me, my dad and my brother decided to re-enact a scene from Titanic
Look Jack, WE're flying~! XDLol, then we headed straight for the beach. There was a statue of a mermaid for display in the beach. I didn't manage to get a good picture of my family and the statue because the wind was starting to blow even stronger and it had begin raining.
As soon as I got the picture, it started raining heavily and the wind started to blow even stronger than before. We immediately ran for the bus. One comedic moment though was my jacket, when the wind was blowing, it acted like a parachute and boosted my speed. I swore I could almost fly off from the ground!
The tour guide then told us it was monsoon wind. No wonder. Should've expected it. XD
The air-conditioner in the bus started to leak water to the other tourist and Ah Ho was forced to fix it while struggling his body balance while the bus is turning here and there. Had to pity him and the tourist who got wet even when they're indoors.
After that, it was free time for all of us. In other words, shopping. =D Well, I had to. My old Nike shoes was beginning to get 'old'. The base of the shoe got tore off. I went to another Addidas shop and purchased myself a new pair of shoes.
I picked one and it only cost me at about RM200+. Then I found out that the same pair in Malaysia costs at about RM300++. Whoa, I just saved a few hundred bucks.
After that, my cousins went shoping for shoes as well.
Satisfied with all the stuffs we bought, it's time for dinner again! =D We had enough of tom yams already. So, we went to a Chinese restaurant and ate.
We walked the night market later on and headed back to the hotel. That night, we youngsters went into one of my cousins' room and played. I learnt how to play Poker there. XD
The next morning, before we checked out of our hotel, we still had some free time. And what's a little trip without a little McDonalds'? =)
There was this pies in McDonalds' that is really good. It's called the Taro Pie or Yam Pie. It's not available in Malaysia though. I wanted to try their Pineapple Pie but it disappeared right after I finished my yam pie. =(
The Pies...The all so delicious yam pie!!The pineapple pie. The pie that mysteriously vanished. ==
My parents weren't there to join us. They were still busy packing their stuffs, I suppose.
After that, we checked out of the hotel and head back to Malaysia. The tour doesn't end there, in Malaysia, we visited this medical factory called 'Dynapharm'. Bought a few healthy goodies back. I couldn't get any pictures, the factory doesn't allow it. =(
Then we stop by Ipoh and got ourselves their famous salted steam chicken.
During the journey back, I snagged a few pictures of the environment.
We had our last dinner together before separating buses. (different families, different living areas)
Boy, it felt good to be back home. In the end, this trip was both fun and disturbing (the aquas) at the same time.
Alright, part two: My Brithday on the seventeenth.
Nothing special. Didn't celebrated it and most probably never will in the future. Anyway, I did receive some goodies from my friends and cousins.
I kinda like this monkey doll. =)Awh thanks, but the 'Uncle' part was pretty unnecessary though. ==Now, on to part three: Christmas party at Daniel's house on the nineteenth.
Daniel invited all of us to his house to celebrate Christmas. It was really a good and fun time for all of us.
These are the list of people who were in the party.
Daniel
Samuel
Ian
Yu Kin
My brother
Carmen
Shu Teng
Hui Xian
Kerrie
Melissa
Adam
and of course... Me
I had to do some last minute Christmas-present shopping to get everyone presents. In the end, I got the presents and a few ones.
Daniel - I got him a hand-phone holder that can charge your hand-phone at the same time.
Carmen - I got her a Patrick doll from Spongebob.
Shu Teng - I got her a different hand-phone holder.
Kerrie - Some doll on a key chain
Melissa - Key chains too, I think.
Evon - A Spongebob doll.
The rest - some random snow-globes. XD
Just the present itself had already taken a huge toll out of my savings. And worse of all, I can't refund my money from my mom. Dang!
Samuel was first to reach there, he was adjusting Daniel's Counter-Strike's resolution. Every shots that was made from Daniel's comp always ended up a little higher than the cross-hair indicated it to be. For example, imagine two enemies in front of him; one squatting and the other one standing behind the first one.
If Daniel already had a good aim at the first squatting guy's head and shot, the shot would end up at the second guy's dingdong behind. Lol.
Me and my brother was second. I brought along the Wii and my laptop but forgotten to bring to the monopoly board game that I was supposed to. Daniel then bought me two Wii games; Rayman and Mario.
Daniel's mom then went out to fetch Melissa and her gang. We joked that what if Daniel's mom accidentally fetched the wrong person with the same names? XD
Anyway, Kerrie, Melissa, Adam and Evon came soon after. It seems that Daniel's mom didn't fetch the wrong person.
Ian was next to come. We were playing Wii Tennis that time and he joined in too and begin to kick our arses. My brother the challenged him in Wii Bowling and ultimately raped him back, hard-cored. Lol, guess I owe my brother one.
Then, Carmen, Shu Teng and Hui Xian was the last to come. We enjoyed a little game of Rayman: Raving rabbids before having dinner.
Dinner was great, all thanks to Daniel's parents. We had spaghetti, vegetables, and grilled chicken with black pepper sauce and Ribena fruit-punch for drinks. Yu Kin came in the middle of the dinner, making him the latest guest in the party.
After eating, the gang went for a camwhoring session. Except for me and Adam, Melissa had to be their photographer. We weren't much of a camwhoring person. Never was, never will. Lol! We resumed playing the Wii shortly after until it was 9 something. Melissa and her gang had to head back, which leaves Sam, Ian, Yu Kin, My brother, Carmen, Shu Teng, Hui Xian and me.
From left to right: Carmen (My childhood friend), Shu Teng (My Bestie) and Hui Xian (My first step-sister)The Spongebob trio! XDThen, we exchanged our gifts to each other and begin ripping apart the wrapping papers to see our presents.
I got a Dragonball bear figure from Daniel, a teddy-bear from Shu Teng and a photo frame from Hui Xian.
At 10.30, I had to head home and send Carmen back at the same time.
The party was really fun and the food was excellent. Wish Daniel would have the same party again next year(this year).
Thanks Daniel, for hosting this party and the kick ass prize. Thanks Shu Teng and Hui Xian for the teddy-bear (Yes, it's cute enough for my liking =) ) and the photo frame (I want to put a picture of you and me if possible.). And finally, thanks to Daniel's parents for the wonderful food although I ended up gaining a few weights, lol.
Part 2 will be out.
