Its Thursday

I didn't sleep well last night, its a bit warm now so I woke up around 2am to switch on the aircon which after that I could hardly go to sleep and plus maybe I had a black hot latte earlier in the evening. Anyway, I had my first run yesterday since last thursday and I still have my momentum but my weight is now 54kg, down a kilo. And yes, its already a weekend, pasal nya my weekend starts on Thursdays and ends on Mondays..hehe..I don't have any plans yet what to do during the weekend..will keep it posted here..

The Ox celebration

I went to the Warorot Market this evening to see the Chinese New Year Celebrations there as they have this Miss China Town 2009 Pageant. i didn't stay long though as I got some work to be done. Plus it was crowded. The main road at the market and all around it has been closed as the Chinese New Year celebrations started since yesterday.

People watching the Miss China Town Pageant.

Food vendors as well as tables and chairs for dining out were seen along the road.

Different designs and sizes of plastic bags were also being sold here.

Ani pun tais liur??

Yeah..I know I know its disgusting but out of curiosity of the taste...a few each of the insects and worms were bought and they are all stir-fried. We served it on the dinner table and one of my friends didn't join us at the table during the makan time..hahaha..I'm sure she just couldn't tolerate the sight of the insects and worms on the plate..The grasshopper was a bit oily than the other insects...tapi buatkan sapak nyaman kali ah..hahaha..

Amacam? nyaman usulnya? hahaha..arooy! arooy!

Re arranging the fried insects and worms on the plate.

Absolutely grilled

Sotong for sale..hehe..sotong karing grilled..sotong tutuk pun ada. Tapi yang nyaman ubi-ubian grilled ah, esp. ubi manis ah. Even talor pun jadi mangsa grilled..hahaha..anyway, my friends bought some of these gara-gara tais liur..kalau di Brunei time perayaan saja ada ni tapi kalau di sini hari2 ada...

Dong-dong chai

I was having a coffee outside starbucks last night with a friend when this lion dance troupe passed by. They were just done performing a lion dance along the night bazaar road without the dong-dong chai music..hehehe..weird heh..

Maybe you can...

No one can avoid problems, however smart or lucky they are. But if we have a clear conscience as well as a certain degree of wisdom and fortitude, I believe that we can finally overcome them.

Now eat this!

Matches, miniatures and trays

These are some of the stuffs being sold at the Sunday walking street. There are many many cool,unique and out of the ordinary things and stuffs that you can find here but you hafta walk slowly and look around. If not,you'll miss the good stuffs.

Boxes of matches with different pictures on them.They are pretty nice and I have a collection of them already.

Miniature of the famous tuk-tuk as well as motorbikes.

Designed hand-made trays of different sizes.

At the walking street market

I went to the Sunday walking street market to bring my company around and as usual there were lotsof people. The ladies bought some stuffs and food as well as drinks. I hoped they like the walking street market because its the place where tourists and local people go to if they come to Chiang Mai as it only takes place on Sundays.

Different types of drinks being sold in some sort of vases.

Drinking from the bamboo.

You have to take the Q number to buy the famous Thai salad..hahaha..amazing innit?

Flying-foxing

Flight of the Gibbon

Yeah that's what it is called. The method of transportation through the tree tops is via a zip-line (also known as a flying fox, zip wire, aerial runway or tyrolean crossing. Overall it was real fun and enjoyable. I think doing the flying fox 18 times is totally exhilarating. Both of my friends were satisfied with the activities they have done here, ganya yang inda kesampaian was to watch the sunset in a microlite because the wind is too strong to fly the microlite so its not safe. Therefore we got refunded.

Eh napa tia gibbon nya betukar jadi kuyuk ani..hahaha

Waiting for my turn on the flying fox

The F SUV

"Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada" will be constructed out of aluminium and carbon fiber composites for weight-efficiency. Engines come from the naturally aspirated V8 found in the California and the 599 GTB's V12 powerplant. They produce in excess of 400hp and 600hp each respectively. While the latter's figure seems slightly excessive, Ferrari will not manufacture an SUV that will deliver average performance. It has to be the most powerful and by extension the fastest around.

You can shine?? hahaha

The moral of the ad: Only deaf people should use Pantene because blind people cannot literally see that a particular product is best. Plus,even death has a silver lining.
