roadtrip

Warning: A super long post.

Sorry guys, this is a backdated post... a post that was suppose to be up during my semester holidays but i juz ignored cause i was wayy too lazy especially when i need to upload pictures.
Uploading pictures to this damn blog is so irritating. I dont know if it's only me or others are experiencing it as well, everytime i upload a damn picture, my spacing doubled! The more pictures i upload, the gaps gets bigger! how annoying!

So, anyway i'm a pretty good mood today and there's nothing much to do at the moment so i've decided to spare some time to upload those pictures already! =D

yay!


*******************************************************************

On th last week of my sem break, dad brought us on a trip to Hadyai. Yes,that place that got bombed.And also because of the damn bomb i stoped visting that place as often as i did. I used to go there very often with my family.My sister and i would stay in a room and go out roaming and shopping the whole day till we get out of cash, then back to the hotel to unload our shopping bags and reload our money from papa atm and mama atm. Those were the days when Hadyai used to be peaceful and bomb-free.

p/s: sorry ya, pictures and events are not in chronological order.

Things are so different now, price goes up for even those "tut tut" cars that takes us around. Stalls and shops by the roadside are much lesser now, not to mention the crowd. You hardly see tourist walking around at night. Numbers of workers in shopping malls sums up to a larger number than shoppers itself.

Btw, Hadyai is not a place you can shop for branded goods unless you're speaking of bras. I mean Warcoal bras and Zebra's stainless steel stuff.

Introducing to you my mum and auntie priscilla, the 2 bra tycoons fo our recent trip;

L:mum R:auntie priscilla .

It was a road trip that lasted about 7 hours. 7 freaking hours i was in the car with my sister at the most back seat of a Prado. That was excluding the time to travel to Kepong to pick uncle Chris and auntie Priscilla. *faints*.When we get out of the car at some highway resting area,
Need to stretch abit...

need to exercise a little too....

and of course, grab some snacks.
.

We had our car parked at the border and rented a van to get into the city;

Me. under the hot sun

We reached there about 4pm Malaysia time and headed straight to out hotel. Stayed at New Season Hotel. Just like the name, it's a new hotel.. located right behind Lee Garden Plaza.*muahahahaha*

Our hotel room

The bed was super BIG! it's bigger than a King size and it comes with a huge toilet with bathtub. Guess what? it only cost an amount of RM85/night! SUPER CHEAP!
With that price u can only stay in a blardy standard room in First World Hotel with a pathetic bathroom without even a lock! Talk about CHEAPPP!! .Day2Morning:

princess!

Mum and auntie priscialla are really great at shopping i must say.They can shop the whole day and forget all about taking lunch*swt* They were constantly buying bras and household items cause Warcoal's are really cheap. At one point i even lost sight of them in a shopping mall and guess what? i headed to the bra department, and TADA! i found them! There was also once when me and my sister were guessing what's written on the discount board (in thai), suddenly aunt priscilla just poped in, gave a look and started reading out in english as if she can read thai "Buy 1st bra at normal price and get the 2nd at 50%" then gave us a proud look. 0_o OH WA0! they shoped till they are already familiar with all the thai written discounts! .* erhemz* speaking of that,now you can't blame me for my shopping habits. i've got my mum's inheritance.
.
market, purchasing a whoping 10kg's of nuts! *nutz* .The problem with mum and auntie priscilla is.. they just have to buy everything in bulk. Anything cheaper than normal rate, they'll surely end up with dozens of them. Yes, even bras. Dad and uncle Chris was like their's personal servants.. their job's function is mainly carrying large paper and plastic bags and travelling back and forth to the hotel to unload. I bet uncle chris and dad regreted the trip. .Some desperate shoppers even waited for shopping malls to open early in the morning...

roadside by Lee Garden Plaza. *wearing my pyjamas,hehe*

HUGE prawns and fried chickens

The thai's dont have to wear helmet i guess.

Yes. me again proudly with my pyjamas.
.

One thing i notice in Hadyai is... people like to keep poodles. I SEE poodles everywhere! By the roadside,....

in the car....

and even at the money changer!

this black lump IS A POODLE.

me and the black lump.

Now lets get back to the shopping part. Hadyai, like i say... it's not a place to go for branded goods. The not so brande goods itself like G2000 cause a bomb if you were to compared it to the price in kl. A simple tee from G2000 that cost 49 bucks here is priced at 89 after conversion. Almost double!

So, if you really wanna get branded items, you can get the immitation ones... haha..

immitation jerseys. Very original looking though with adidas tags as well!

************************

Some random pictures i secretly took at Tops there;

Tissues!

Haha... a little something you didn't know about me is that i collect lotsa tissue papers with nice packaging. *hehe, tissue fetish*

**************************

Food;

ermm...i can't think of other items i puchased at the moment and some were already in use. hehe.. so no pictures here. lol. anyway, that's alottt of pictures already ok!oh yes, of course we didnt forget all about poor Jack who stayed home.We had souvenirs back for him too!

Dog's snack.

*Guess who bought this dozen of Jack's snacks? who else.. -_-"
We bought so much that me and my sister had to suffer another 7 hours back to kl. This time worst, we were practically burried under those luggage extra baggage. *swt*-Dad says next time need to get lorry already. xoxo
