I decided to blog a reasonable length blog today as there hasn't been any big updates in life since I have been here.

And tommorrow marks the 1st month anniversary of Hui's embracing Thailand.

And a lot of things has happened since, much euphoria from being in Thailand, and not that much back home.

Happy things first. We just came back from Hua Hin, which is about 240km from BKK. It was a major pack and go decision made just 2 days before. Right, and we did not need to miss ANY classes for it.

In short, its a little town with not too pretty beaches. Okay maybe that is not the right way to put it. It's more like East Coast Park. Yes! Not even Sentosa. Stayed at a Guesthouse with fan and toilet for only 200B (8SGD).

But with us around, we'll always still have our own bagful of fun. Rented 2 bikes and travelled around and explored the place "like true riders on the road", even going on a flyover. Not to worry, the traffic is really much lighter there, and people ride at like 40km/h on average. Oh and its against the law if you don't put on a helmet when you ride, but the pillion rider need not put on any helmet though.

And the most exciting part of the trip was the fireworks. Not watching fireworks, but letting off fireworks. Small ones of course, but being a city kid in a fine (and ban) city, it's like a major thing to me. From choosing which to buy, to finding the right place to let it off, and of cos watching it was amazing. We first let it off at some so call beach right in front of some hotel. Din had enough fun and went to buy more fireworks again. But the second rounds were bigger (we were risk adverse and bought the small ones first) and attracted more attention, so well we were chased away by the security guards and some worker of the hotel who wanted to say it is against the law and too near the King's Palace but pronounced it so badly that Rose heard that the King of Paris was in town.

Cheap (literally) thrill. Yum. Oh and thanx Wilson. Because of your coming this week, we have to give Ko Samui's full moon party a miss. Bleh.

Everyone back home, I miss you. It may seem like I'm having so much fun I forgot all about you guys. But no, I do miss you. Yes you. You you you you. Stay healthy back there, we're trying too, with the bad pollution and all. Do call us anytime. It's not that expensive right?
