Hua Hin- Day 3

We slept through the football matches the night before and woke up quite early for our breakfast.

Never eat cornflakes before ah??
Max super geh kiang… he has never eaten cornflakes for breakfast before and so he wanted to try.. but as he did not drink milk, he tried to mix them into soy bean milk… that sounds like a good idea.. cept tat the milk was HOT and the cornflakes all turned soggy.. DISGUSTING!

There wasn’t much to do today and so we decided to practice our swing for golf. While picking up the clubs, I signed Max up for a mini World Cup organized by the hotel. When i signed up, there was only one person signed up... PAUL from England... who plays everyday.. hahaha...

Golf Practice
Boy, was it tough to practice. What makes it even tougher is that there was no teacher to guide us along.

Swing and swing.. pick up the balls.. it was quite aimless to just swing and not know how we are doing... not to mention tiring and warm in the sweltering hot sun too...

We gave up after 30 minutes because we were not sure if we were doing it right.. we decided we had better get teachers to teach us the RIGHT method to play when we go back to SG.

Rest and Relax
Since there was nothing much planned for that day, we went to the pool again. This time we rested and slept at the pool and by the time we woke up, Max had turned charcoal black already.. hahahah

Not wanting to be too indulgent, we decided to save our money for massage today and we signed ourselves up for the Thai Massage course!

After a good rest, we changed and went for our lesson!

Thai Massage
We learnt Thai Massage and it was such fun.. but it was rather tough to remember all the steps.. I tried to take photos and alas my memory stick was full :( so this is all I have to show you.. (by the way, those are Max's legs.. hahaha.. teacher demo using Max as a model)

After I finished the class, I went back home to write down what I remember in my ‘wu lin mi ji:’.

But before I could complete it, Max suggested tat we go back to the ice cream place so off the road we go.

Back in ice cream place, we ordered a huge ice cream… This time round, we decided to order one with a cone so tat we could eat the cone as well.. Max as tempted to make our own creation but after a while we got enticed by the ROCKY ROAD combination and tat was wat we chose...

After ice cream, we rushed back for Max’s soccer tournament.

Soccer Tournament
It was a game of the visitors against the staff.. the visitors won.. and the top scorer was a 9 year old little boy from Sweden!

While the boys were playing soccer, I was busy talking to one of the soccer mate’s wife. Turned out that they were newly married and on their honeymoon.Gosh.. they have been in Hua Hin for 10 days.. I am in day 3 and already bored to death.. cannot imagine being there for 10 days!

But I think ang mohs are different. They like to bring books and go out to the pool to read. They like to really relax while I just like to go out and do things. Max says it is cos they dun have the sunny weather in places like UK. They dun have public outdoor pools like us and in the soccer mate’s wife’s words, “The sun is never out long enough. By the time you apply the sun screen, it is all gone…”

Anywayz, they won themselves a voucher that entitles them to a free drink at the Elephant bar.

And then we went back to our room.. and while Max was bathing, I tried to complete my secret guide to Thai Massage… when he was done, we went out to explore the night market again…

Max the great bargainer
Well, this time cos we had time on our hand, we managed to walk slowly through and even manage do sit down and eat some of the things sold in the night market.

We had thai kway tiao, green curry, vegetable tempura and fried vegetables.. and all tat for 280baht only! Eat until we so full till we cant walk man!

Then after that we carried on with our shopping and bought me a skirt, a Bermudas for max, a diesel shirt and shorts set for Ace.

But the purchase we are most proud of is this shirt we bought at 100 baht. Actually hor, the t shirt is selling for 129 but I liked it and wanted to get it at 100 baht. Alas the shopkeeper was not around.. when she came, we realized she could not speak english.. so we signed ‘100’ to her but she just shook her head, looked silly and smiled…

Who talk first who will die.. so we smile back at her and asked her the same question and kept quiet..

She shook her head.

Who take action first who will win and Max took out 100 baht note.. asked her, “OK?” gave it to her and rolled the shirt up and put it into our paper bag ;) And it was ours.. for 100 baht.. and the best part is the shopkeeper just smiled to us after tat.. hahahaha..

After lots of shopping, we went back to the hotel to pack and then by then I was so tired I just hit the sack the moment my head touched the pillow.
