... Nevermind.
I won't be going from Day 1 to Day 7 cos I have short term memory and I can't really remember what really happened, where, who and how. So, the pictures are the speech for me.
OOOHHH, hell, people have been asking me if I had fun.
AND-OH, N-O.
Hahah, I miss band, my friends and Singapore. Though the atmosphere up in the hills/mountains are like, fantastically fresh. You can smell the aroma of the lush green grass and swaying trees. Birds chirping blahblahblah, like a fairytale scenery. Thailand is HAZE-FREE! Thank God I get to get away from the haze for a week. Hah.
Checking in! The flight took about 2hours and 15minutes. Torturing plane.
Tiger airways leh. (Budget airport. Lmao!)
Right, i remember now. After i reach Chiangmai, which is around 10am here, we were driven to our resort hotel, Downtown Inn.
Quite a small one but the service is pretty good.
Then we went to have our brunch at a seafood restaurant nearby. Okay lah, the most amazing thing in that place is the washroom. And then,
SEE! Cleaner than my school's toilet!
While walking back, bought some fresh, big, fleshy grapes from this uncle pushing the styrofoam box on the, ...whatever it is.. trolley?
Juicy ahuh. (:
And then, we went to this IT Mall which is also nearby, to get 2 sim card for my mum and me. So that we can contact each other. Damn, the phones there are like cheaper. Lol! Everything seems so cheap there lah. Makes me feel rich for once! Hee xD.
Yeah, headed back to the hotel after that. And my aunt came! WITH MY BABY COUSIN, ANGIE!!!1.
AWWWWWW xD.
That night, went to a night bazaar which is like about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. I wonder how I managed stand that.
My dad and Angie! I want to cuddle her! Hahah!
The second day, woke up early in the morning and had breakfast buffet. Hahah, will get the free pass when you check in to the hotel. It was yummmmmmmyyy! Sunnyside-up, bacon, bread and butter. I FELL IN LOVE WITH BACONS! Cos they sort of relieve my motion sickness. Anyway, you can pay mini bus drivers to travel around! So, we got one and set off to the mountains to visit a temple.
Cuddly.
Oh yeah, on the way, we purchased fireworks, rockets explosives whatever whatever for the LoyKrathong festival that's going on in Thailand from 4thNov onwards. It usually last for three or four days. I'm not very good at these xD.
It reads: Warning! Hen Laying Egg
LMAO! I didn't buy it though, I have no idea what it does.
(Anyway, see the bombshell-lookalike thingy that has 10/20 on it? You'll get to see what it does below.)
The bag of rockets!
Yuupp, and it took bout an hour or more to reach there. You will die in Thailand of impatience if you are very very impatient. The hot spots are like an hour or few hours away! You'll need a vehicle.
Going up! xD
And here we are!
There are two temples.
AND
Look almost the same! xD Although its cold up there, you'll sweat by just struggling your way through the steps halfway.
Scenery! Blah, it's more beautiful in
SUGARCANE SNACK! On the way back! xD
It's hard -.- You have to be the grinding machine (whatever you call that) and bite the cane, then the sweet, fresh juice will ooze out of it! It's pretty nice!
FRESH OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, HOWS THAT. You can't eat that, that is what happens to the cane when the juice is grinded out. Y'know what I'm trying to say?! Boy, I don't even know.
After that, went up all the way. To the...
And the calculation below is, 25 653 341 Meters Above Mean Sea Level. OOOOHH, :D
Waterfall! I forgot the name lah, all so cheem one.
It's not very clean and people still play in it. It's fun though, having the currents against you. Lmao.
Alright, at night! Time to celebrate!
On the way to this temple, big enough to play with explosives, the dark clear sky is filled with glittering yellow orange flames, like stars turned orange. It's gorgeous.
If only you were here.
It's time to make some lanterns fly! This is how you do it,
First, light the middle up, making sure fire catches all round it.
Then, hold up the top to prevent the fire from burning it. Wait patiently for the lantern to set up.
If possible, pose, smile and take a picture when the thing is set. (Mum&Dad xD)
And count 1, 2, 3!
OFF IT GOOOOOOESSSS!
The longer you hold, the more higher it'll go. The sky is all filled with lanterns. So beautiful.
Anyway, they sell animals to be set free as it is a symbol of having good fortune and luck.
Birds to be set free, and turtles and fishes are to be set free in the flowing river nearby.
Tadah! Full of floating flowers. Hahah, I don't know what they call that thing that they float on the water. But everyone does it duing LoyKrathong. It's fun! Hahah! I flipped over my flowerbed (let's just call it flowerbed) when I came over to Thailand in 2004. But it didn't this time! Yay! xD
Don't estimate that old looking bombshell, see what it does.
Ignore the singing, that's my aunt. She's not Angie's mum, she's another aunt :D And she is travelling with us.
Yeap, that's about it. Then went home, had a small supper on roasted chicken(YUMS), washup blahblah then went to bed. It's a very tiring day.
Next day, had the breakfast again, then brought luggage and headed to the travelling bus center to buy tickets to ChiangRai, to visit my Grandma. That freaking ride was like 3hours +. But luckily there is comfort and space, can sleep almost to 180degrees okay! Don't pray pray! xD The bus conductor is a ... y'know. Tsk tsk.
Anyway, reached ChiangRai still have to take a taxibus to my Ahma's home.
SAY HELLO TO THE JACK RUSELL FEMALE FAMILY!
The mom, Hebi. Everyone calls her Bi though. She likes to get stroked on her head.
The mum has darker spots than her children do. Seems to always be the one lying on it's bed, made out of old rags and clothes. (It's hella comfortable, really.) She seems really quiet but she'll be the one barking the loudest and chasing the stray dogs away. She's THE mum see. :D
The child, Neen. Likes to roll over and get stroked.
She is THE MOST ADORABLE! She had big, fully black eyes that will sparkle at you! She is also very sweet. Once, she was scared because of the big stray dogs that came into our gate, that she ran up to me with that whining. AWWww, I squatted, sayang-ed her and gave her a hug. She's so adoring! xD
The second child, Thomp. Strange name but i like it xD. She is alway trying to lick my face :D
I didn't like her in the first place. She is always growling at the sister and she had deep yellow eyes, different from mum and sister. But later on, I began to apperciate her more and I fell in love with those deep, yolky eyes. Those eyes spoke to me.
And there's a pig too! OINK!
My grandma's house :D
Rice have never tasted so good until I tried their's! I wonder why, and then I saw this.
THE RICE ARE FRESH!! xD It's very fragrant and so full of, life. Ok, over dramatic whatever.
I went to elephant riding too!
That was my aunt and my mum. Yup, that's the aunt who sang :D
Of course I rid an elephant too :D Damn, it was high, very imbalanced and it'll scare you when the elephant goes down a slope. I do pity the eleplants, isn't it sort of.. abusing? Because the whole ride is close to an hour and they have to go up&down quite a number of slopes. Poor thing eh? I felt gulity for riding it. D: But it was a good experience. You can buy a bag of elephant food (contains bananas and sugarcanes) and feed them. Hahah, their skin is so like, TOUGH! UGH!
That night, we set off the remaining fireworks we had left.
This shower is thrice the size and power of the 10baht bombshell-lookalike! And the sparkles are soooo much nicer! xD
The beautiful fireworks. They are so glamourous in the night starry sky. (Can't see any in the videos though.) The three dogs can't stop barking xD They are scared of it. Hahah! Poor little things.
After two days at my Ahma's place, it's time to go back to ChiangMai. Aww, the dogs... LOL! I so wanted to cry lah, but cannot. Hahah, later my parents see then they'll make it worst. So, REN!
I do miss them alot ):
Yes, 3hours+ ride again. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr! And then we went to this resort, at this very remote place. But it's beautiful, see.
Yes, that are the "cottages" that you'll get to live in in this resort.
BUT IT FRIGGING SUCKS I TELL YOU. THERE ARE ANTS ALL OVER THE PLACE. ALL OVER THE TOILET BOWL. ALL OVER THE FLOOR. THE WORST THING IS, WE ARE THE ONLY GUESTS THERE!
Oh my God, it's really really deserted. In the end, no choice, have to move back to Downtown Inn. Cannot refund the fees. So about 300 Singapore dollars wasted. Damn, I could buy a few DS games with $300. HAHAH! Yeah, Downtown Inn is so so much better. That resort there will really give you the creeps.
I coould remember it was the 5th day in Thailand, I went to this Royal Flora Exhibition 2006. Exhibitons of flowers lah. Lol, fucking hot there. Got tanned. T_T Anyway, took some photos :D
Liles are gorgeous! So full of purity. ...Is this a Lily in the first place? xD
I don't know why this photo will turn out to look so fake. But I took it okay!
Didn't take any photos after that day. Was so eager to go home. To come back to my cosy bed, to my crazy, lunatic friends. (Now you know why I'm nuts too.) And BANNNDDDDDd!
The plane back to Singapore! WEEE, the flight was supposed to take estimatedly around 2hours 45mins but we ended up reaching theere 20mins earlier! Hahah! Better mah!
Thomp! xD Failed my popart photoshop. Lmao.
Alright, I don't know whether I have posted all the pictures I've taken. I'm sort of rushing through this COS IT TOOK ME MORE THAN AN HOUR TO BLOG AND MY FATHER'S NAGGING AT ME TO BATHE. Damn, can't you wait.... for a hour and more? Lol.
Phew, now Nuzrath won't come after me for not blogging anymore :D
I RUINED THE MUSIC IN BAND TODAY!
Man, I feel so helpless. If only playing could be as easy as humming the piece. Hahah.
(:
