Hua Hin- Day 2

We woke up bright and early for our breakfast. After one day of rest, my nose was feeling much better.

Breakfast for us was quite ok even though we were vegeterian.. and it was great tat they had a wide variety of fruits like jambu, mango, lychee, dragon fruit, jack fruit and even some other strange looking ones tat i dunno wat it is called...

After breakfast, we explored the hotel and tried to find out more about hua hin and what we could do there. We found out that there is a wine buffet.. we were quite interested but not quite sure if they would provide food as well...

The hotel was kind of nice as well.. it was big and there were alot of gardens and in the gardens, there were alot of those animal sculpture made plants..

We saw something interesting.. cos at the hotel cafe... we saw football chocolates! Made in loving memory of the world cup.. muahahahaha...

Max searched the map while I lazed around… He said tat there is a night market and we decided to visit it.. Hua Hin looked like a simple place from the map.. only a few places to visit.. i think if you want to TOUR hua hin, you can finish doing tat within half a day! the places are as far as me walking from City Hall MRT to SUntec onli..

It's strange.. when I am in SG, I would never want to wake up this early.. but now tat I am here, I just wake up and cannot sleep... but the hotel bed is very comfy.. and i guess this explains why I like to nua on it most of the time when i am in the room...

Also, we found that the hotel actually organized many courses and classes in the day. We signed up ourselves for golf lessons (at my insistence cos Max thinks it is a boring and stupid game).

After that we went out and walked around the whole of Hua Hin central.. we managed to find out where the night market is and we walked ONE BIG ROUND… after walking past so many tailor shops, I too decided to have a suit made and went back to Sajid and Jack to negotiate for a good price.. hahaha.. after which we continued walking around…

It was hot and our legs were tired.. and then we had an exciting discovery!

Ice Cream Place
We came to this wonderful ice cream place and had an ice cream there.. and it was interesting! You could choose your own flavours and toppings and they would ‘fold’ the ice cream on this frozen steel plate… looks absolutely yummilicious and tasted fantastic and we are thinking how nice if there is a branch in SG…

After ice cream, we went shopping and I bought a lovely pair of shoes for only 350 baht!!!! Best buy ah!

Then we went to find something to fill our stomachs since ice cream dun make good lunches ;) Still having some time to spare, we went for a foot massage for one hour and had a heavenly time resting there…

Golf Lesson
After that, we rushed back for our 3pm golf lesson. We met Patti and Martin from Switzerland at the lesson and after the lesson, Max has become a golf convert! All because of our teacher, Soo…

Soo says that he used to be from the military services and jumps parachutes… (just like Max) he used to think tat golf is a stupid and boring game and a waste of time (just like Max)… he also refused to play the game and would much rather play soccer cos he loved soccer (just like Max)… alas, he injured himself at age 32 and could no longer play soccer.

By chance, he picked up golf and has never looked back since! So he told Max that Max should try the game… cos after he got hooked, he played everyday and in a few years, he got into the Thailand PGA.

Now, Max is aspiring to learn golf and says he aspires to get into PGA within 5 years! :) When we are financially free, Max says he will play golf for hobby.. :P hehehehe..

Anywayz, Soo says Max has potential.. ;) As for me, I am just happy if I can hit the ball.. I tried to keep my arms straight by my breasts keep getting into the way.. hahahaha.. din help that they were full of milk since Ace was not there to drink it…

The golf lesson was only 45 minutes but our backs were aching from all the swinging and thus we decided to go and relax ourselves in the pool. I headed straight for the jaccuzi to sooth my aching back.. ahhh…..

Fitting
After the golf lesson, we went back to the hotel to bath and rest. After that, we went out again to explore the night market. It was kind of like pasar malam lah.. we even went to Hua Hin Shopping mall.. hahahha… it is the most ‘kok’ shopping mall I have ever seen cos all the merchandise is all over the place.. but the things are not cheap…

As our fitting was set at 9pm, we were quite rushed for time and rushed through the night market. Max kept looking at the roadside stalls selling food and said that if he were not vegeterian, he will buy one of each and eat till he LS!

But still, damage was done.. we finished our ‘shopping’ by buying a pair of Bermudas for me, a t shirt for me, a doodle pad for Ace, a LIVERPOOL jersey for Ace.

Despite the town being very small, we got lost and only finally made it to fitting at 9plus.

Fitting was a strange affair to me as this is the first time that I tailor make clothes.. but it was fun ;) I was actually quite amazed by the fact that they could get the outfit ready in such a short time and that the suit loooked so cute without sleeves.. hahahaha...

After fitting, Max made me walk one big round to search for a better place to eat.. By the time we had dinner and walked back to our hotel, my feet nearly died!

Golf is addictive when you first start, after a while, it can become quite boring, until people start betting like soccer....you can earn some money playing golf, but remember to inflate your handicap. And surround yourselves with lambs, but be careful not to be eaten. Haha, but I don't bet.
