shopping day again..

so happy today i bought my fave tea.. not many choices of tea to choose here so this one is the best so far..

waiting to check bill..
this picture was taken by pt while i was riding the cart..
how we were going to bring them all home???

hey moose,

i love your elephant bottle. it's seriously cute! and the elephant birthday card.. awww!! you know that i like elephants.. K is an awesome guy! you are a lucky girl! i can imagine how happy you are right now.. ;]

i think i am going to cheat for my door goal again.. hehehehe!!! i don't go anywhere other than tesco so i don't have many chances to take photos of door... thank you for those new door pics..

this morning pt and i didn't go out running. i just ran on the threadmill and was heavily sweating.. late in the morning we went to tesco to shop for the shop. we bought lots of things and but we went with pt's motorcylce.. it was fun and challenging as we had to find way to bring all of them back to the shop..

have a love tuesday!

joy!

A Parcel from K!!

Today I got a parcel K sent last week... in it were some presents (for my birthday!), some tea, a card and a letter...

Ooooh exciting! it's a parcel!!! I love getting surprise parcels!!

This is the bag the presents were in... kinda cute huh??!

These are little bars you put in the bath... they're called "bub" and they make the water go pretty colours and smell great too!

He sent me a new headset for when we chat... really useful! My old one is so broken!!

And a cute card with happy elephants... actually he often sends me things with elephants...

But the best thing of all was the Elmer soap/shampoo dispenser!!

Isn't he the cutest!?? I LOVE it so much! And when you push down for the soap, his ears pop out!!

I filled him up with my new coconut shampoo and put him straight in the bathroom, for tomorrow morning... I think he will make me laugh every day!!

I wonder how K managed to find such a cool present??! He must have looked really hard! He's awesome!!

Monday Morning

Hey Joy!! How was your weekend? You look sooooo happy in your pictures going out with PT in the morning!! I love love LOVE the pictures from your morning runs, it looks so peaceful and beautiful - it looks like such an amazing place to go running.

As a coincidence, I took some pictures of my morning route as well, on the way to work. It was a really gorgeous sunny morning and I wanted to take some pictures as I found a prettier route to the station recently...

Right next to my house there is a church, and in the garden of the church there's this tree... it always catches the morning light really beautifully:

I got you pictures of three more doors on the church (guess you are gonna be sneaky and steal these for your cheating doors goal, eh??!!)

Then I have to walk down a boring bit of street, and then I can cut through the little park to get to the station. Recently the park has been really beautiful on sunny mornings...

There are usually lots of squirrels around playing on the path and looking for food, but they were all hiding today... guess they are camera-shy!!

Today was a really weird day at work, because I was helping this new guy who arrived from our HQ. He's going to live in the UK for a year, away from his family. I helped him understand some internal things about our company, and then took him to some places he needed to go in town. On the way back we did a little bit of sight-seeing (actually I really wish I'd remembered my camera because it was a gorgeous day and we saw some really beautiful things) and we had an ice cream!! I love it when my job is like this. But we walked for ages in the city heat (and I ran before work this morning) so my legs are pretty exhausted now!!

I wonder how he will cope being away from his family...? It makes me think a lot about K, and whether family should be the most important thing...

More about K in a minute...!

easy monday morning..

parking motorcycle..
me, you can see how happy i am so far ;]
this sign means "stop".. now i want to stop thinking of what is bugging me..

crossing the road to psu .. the quiet road at 6 am..
us running around the dam..
on the second round.. i love this picture. it's dark but it looks so calm..
when the sun comes up..
he wanted jampa again.. no security guard around there so he could climb up higer..

good morning lovely moose..

before the busy day walks in again, i want to update my monday morning.. but before i update my monday morning, i want to tell you that i love your feet photos... you know i like to take pictures of feet and toes. so no worry, you can upload feet photo as many as you want... your feet are cute and look so smooth..

this morning, i woke up at 4 am with the feeling of having enough of sleep.. this still surprised me why i didn't feel sleepy or crappy as other mornings when waking up at 4 am.. then i wrote my in journal.. atl 5 am, i went inside the bathroom to detox and read.. today i started reading a new book.. actually it's not new as i bought it 5 years ago and i've finished it long time ago but wanted to read it again. it's about living simple life, living lighty and living smaller...

at 6 am after preparing breakfast for kla, i ask pt if he wanted to go into psu to run again.. he said why not? so we were off with his motorcycle, left it in the front of the gate and walked inside.. then ran to the dam.. it was a beautiful morning, very quiet. we went there earlier than yesterday.. the air was pure and fresh.. we talked and ran and finished 2 rounds easily...

after running 2 rounds, pt wanted to pick jampa again so i let him climb up the tree and watched for the security guard for him... he took 2 jampas today.. then we came back to the shop and started our busy monday morning..

Duvet Day!!

(I'm sorry in advance that this post contains so many pictures of my feet!!)

My internet has been playing up today so I hope I can get these photos uploaded and posted before it goes off again... soooo annoying!!

I spent the whole of today in bed!! Went to bed really early last night and slept for 10 hours until 7.30 this morning... then watched some movies and fell asleep a few more times, all day... just ate and slept and wrote in my journal...


Then I painted my nails a new colour!! It's my one big exertion for today :D

This is the new colour I bought on Wednesday: it's called "mercury"

Cute colour huh?

Then I went back to bed again!! But at least my feet were happy!!

Actually I did get some real painting done this afternoon and finished off the pieces I wanted to finish by the end of June... so I am happy, and enjoyed my relaxing day without doing any cleaning, or studying, or going outside.

I was waiting a long time to talk to K too, he was late home today. Weekends are usually our days for talking online unless one of us is out, today he went out but he got back a lot later than usual so I was worried about him! Then afterwards I found out that he'd been lounging around in a hot-spring and then went out for sushi at my favourite place!!! Without me!! I really want to go have sushi now, but sushi in London isn't as good as sushi in Japan and it's about 4x as expensive so it's just not worth the money... I will have to wait till December...!

Anyway I was glad we got to talk, the time difference with Japan is 8 hours (in the summer) so he went to bed at 1am just as I was getting ready to have tea at 5pm...

Sorry I don't have more interesting news! Hopefully I will do something a bit more energetic tomorrow!!! Enjoy your time with PT, and say Hi from me! It must be wonderful to have him back again :D

our sunday morning..

Good morning moose!!!

this morning we went out running at prince of songkhla university. the weather was very lovely and no sigh of strong sunlight. we ran and walked around the small dam and stopped to take some pictures.. we walked up the hilly road in the forest chatting about our days when we were apart..we were very sweating when going back home..

our saturday night..

hello moose!

i love your train trip and your picture on the train. you look a great in that piture!! you are so motivated for going out to swimming.. there is a pool very near where i live, in a walking distance, and i have longed to go there but never have time to do so... i think i will ask pt to go with me next saturday...swimming with him is fun..

last night we had good and quality time together..after closing shop, we went out to tesco to buy something to eat.. we planned to stay home and watch movie together.. my sister and her husband went out shopping.. pt and i decided to stay home watching movies and drinking together.. he had few beers and i had a bottle of raspberry baccadi.. we went up to our rooms at midnight, a bit drunk and sleepy.. i love this quiet night with him with some chatting and giggling.. it was time that we really longed for....

as i told you i would try this machine with pt.. so last night when we were at tesco, i tried it.. a little boy standing there before me not knowing how to play with it stood watching me playing and after that he went back to his mom telling her how to play and begged for 10 baht coin to play with it too...

this was what i got from the machine...
take a closer look..
we went home to watch movies ...
and had few drinks.. i was drunk before him and slept while the movie was still on...

Sleepy Saturday

Hey Joy!! I'm sure you're far too busy having fun with PT right now ;] I'm so glad you get to spend some time together for the next couple of weeks. Actually he reminds me of a guy I used to know (a little bit...!)

This morning I dragged myself out of bed and went swimming... it's a little pool I found quite a way from my house but it's nice and quiet and not busy on a Saturday, also sometimes I hate going up to London at the weekends if I don't have to! I have to take a train that goes through the countryside and then walk for a while but it's worth it to have a nice long swim without bashing into people all the time!!

Here are some views from the train:

It really is the end of the line!! Mind The Gap!!!

This is the village near the swimming pool:

I found another door for your collection!!

I really like taking this train early on a Saturday because there's no-one about and I can write my journal. On the normal packed trains I am too embarassed to write in case someone can read it over my shoulder... so it was nice to write on the sunny train this morning...
