then, it was pool time!

hanging by the pool is always our happy and fun time..

beach and aquarium..

after having lunch, we headed to the aqaurium by the beach. it was about 30 minutes from town. we walked inside the aquarium for a while and then walked to the beach nearby to have a picnic and let py ran along the beach chasing the waves..

upon arriving in trang

after arriving there, we went to py's granparents' house to pick up her and her mom and then left to find something to eat. surely, it was vegetarian food. we went to the chinese shrine where free vegetarian foods were offered to people. you can carry food containers and get some food from there. you can pay the money but it depends on you. we didn't eat there, though. we went to try some vegetarian noodle nearby.






the chinese shrine where you go inside to pay respect to the chinese buddha and ancesters..

road trip to trang for vegetarian festival..

hey moose!

how are you doing? how was the trip? show me the pictures, please.. i really can't wait to see them..

anyway, last weekend i was away with my mom, sister, her hubby and kla to trang. py is there with her mom to visit her grandparents. we took this opportunity to visit her and see the festival. the vegetarian festival was originally born in chinese provinces. trang is one of the provinces famous for this event. when the time comes, most of the people there eat vegetarian food for 9 days. i tried it last year and it didn't work for me so i didn't do it this year but love to go and watch the event.

i will post the pictures later and hope you enjoy them...

have a nice day!

joy!

Fun run at PSU

Hi moose!!


I am very very very sorry for not writing anything for more than a month. It seems like I've neglected everything when I hit my busy time. Now, schools are closing and I have more free time for myself to read, write, take photos and travel. I really can't wait for the traveling part. I love traveling becuase I will have lots of pictures to post and loads of things to write about.


Last Sunday, I joined another funrun in Prince of Songkla University. It was no fun at all. Firstly, I was alone. PT was called to work offshore 1 week earlier. He went on Saturday and the run was on Sunday. Bummer! Secondly, on the first few minutes, I started to run, my legs started to hurt badly. I had to slow down and stop many times. I think it's becuase of the running on the evening before the race. I ran like a turtle at the race but glad that I still managed to reach the finish point. However, it was still great to meet and see lot of fellow runners.

It was about 5.50 am before the running started.

I was running to reach the finish point in a few seconds. What a victory!!!

Finally, finally, I got the fifth medal from my fifth funrunning..

and ate watermelon before heading back home. I didn't hang around too long when i was alone. so i went back to my shop to heal my aching legs..

Long weekend!!

Hey Joy!! Finally I have some cool photos!! This weekend is a long weekend in th UK, today (Monday) is a bank holiday, which is great, I am at home relaxing instead of being at work!! Unfortunately, this is the last public holiday for us now until Christmas... :( But I felt pleased with myself because I haven't used any of my days off since I got back from Japan (early May) so I have more than two weeks' holiday to use between now and Christmas! Yay!

Yesterday I went out with a friend and we drove down to the beach! I live about an hour from the beach, but a lot of the beaches are just pebble beaches, so I made my friend drive to one further away because it's sandy!! It was raining when we left my place but we stopped for lunch on the way, and by the time we got there it was all sunny and wonderful!!...



On the windy beach...

We went paddling in the sea... I loved it! I haven't been for ages!!

Enjoying the waves and the sand around my toes...

Bright sunshine all afternoon!

Sitting on the pebbles... I have really bad sunburn on my legs today!! Ow!

After this beach we decided to go to a different beach to see the cliffs there! So actually we went to the beach twice but the second beach was very windy so we didn't go in the water. You have to walk for about half an hour to get from the car park to the cliffs.

After that long day I was really tired and slept until lunchtime today! I am really happy to have today at home on my own, I spent so much time with my friends recently (it's fun but...) I need some time to myself, to write and think and paint and stay in quietly at home. I'm so glad to have this extra day!!! And the best thing is, we only have to work four days this week and then it'll be the weekend again!! Yay!!!
