Thursday, January 18, 2007 Came back from Hua Hin & BKK on Mon.We arrived in Hua Hin on late Tuesday night. A 3hrs drive from Bangkok. Surprisingly it was cold at Hua Hin at night as we stopped the van & had a quick bite. Anyway, our trip in Hua Hin was pretty much hassle-free cuz one of our friend's dad's friend who's a Thai helped to settle the transport for us. By the way, we also stayed at his holiday bungalow. Apparently, this guy is quite rich. He stays in BKK but has houses in Hua Hin, Chiang Mai and god knows where else. His bungalow faces the beach directly & our rooms had a seaview literally, hehee. All our meals were taken care of by the housekeeper (that is unless we decide to eat out). We felt like Kings & Queens man. Wake up only, already have yummylicious porridge ready and what's more, we don't have to do the dishes! hehee. Hua Hin is pretty much like Phuket, except it's less crowded. The stretch of beach the bungalow was situated has a number of 5-stars hotel located in the area. The Marriott Hotel is just next to our bungalow. Anyhow, a few of us suntanned while some went to play golf. I got tanned & burnt quite a bit. My legs & hands were reddish even up till the days I was in BKK. I also developed some kinda heat rash when I reached BKK.....think the weather in BKK is hot & humid & my skin is dry & burnt from the suntanning in Hua Hin, hehee. Reached BKK on Friday....and the moment I entered BKK, my nose felt stuffy & soon it developed to full-blown flu. What a bummer! I wasn't the only "casualty" on this trip. Michael was also feeling unwell in Hua Hin but recovered the day after. Another of our friend had a fever in BKK but recovered the day after too. Only me with the flu & cough still has it till now. Boohoo. Everything is per normal in BKK, despite the NY bombing. Still so many pple. And we still shopped like nobody business. I bought myself 7 pairs of shoes! haha...yeah, the only thing I indulge on when I'm in BKK. Anyhow, this trip didn't go all too smoothly. Michael & I had two arguments. Haiz...think that's the difference between "courting" days, to "pak-tor" days to married days. But I guess it really takes effort for both to make things work. So in the end, both of us give in and then carry on with our trip/life. Sometimes I just feel like complacency has sets in to our relationship and I don't like it. But I guess it's reality that things do change and we cannot expect things or feelings to remain constant or be like in the past...we have to move on & look forward to the future, rather than dwell in the past :) Still, on the whole...I pretty much enjoyed the trip & holiday. Can't wait for the next holiday break..haha! Here are the pics: Suntanning at our private lawn overlooking the beach.
