Artsy stuff will definitely catch our attention.
Love paintings yet we can't draw.
Prefer original soundtrack (OST) to Kpop.
Learnt Spanish.
Play piano.
Appreciate the beauty of natural landscape.
Couldn't take spicy food.
Enjoy watching orchestra concert.
With the aforementioned interests, I realise we have a lot of similarities.

Laptop is such an essential gadget for me to carry out my tasks.
Many thanks for your understanding and kindness; that was such a tremendous help!
Oh, did I mention that she's nurse?
There are quite a number of books on the shelves in the room that I was staying which I really wanted to grab it and start reading.
Nursing, medicine and home care elicited my interest as I am a St. John Ambulance first aider.
What's more, there are Spanish language books and other popular literature on the shelves.
Have a quick dinner, shower (and continue my work on the laptop) then rest were the only routine whenever I return to the house after spending whole day long at the stadiums, however.
I was too exhausted to flip through the book although I really wanted to.
My initial plan was staying at her place for 13 days and then explore across the province.
Yet I've never thought that I will be with her until the last day of my flight, on the 21st day.

I was lucky to witness the opening ceremony of the King and the Ground Culture Festival at Hwaseong Fortress (UNESCO World Heritage) in Suwon where the 6-minute splendid fireworks concluded the night before I return to Malaysia.
Thank you Do-Hyun for the ride and trip around Suwon!

I'll treasure the moments with you though we didn't get to spend much time together throughout the 21 days.
Thank you for your great hospitality and arrangement!
My great pleasure meeting you and your brother; thanks for showing around :)
Aiks.. Didn't get to bid my farewell to my another host whom I hardly met: Hyunsoo who works in ICU midnight shift.
Fond moments with my Korean host (click to view)
Anyway, here's the clip of moments we spent together in this period. :)
psst... there was over hundred photos taken though we only got to spend a few days together.

Instead of having the hot soup and rice again, I had a rather simple breakfast of meiji milk and cereals in the hotel room.
Packed my luggage and headed to the van/ mini bus station to return to the city.
It was a 2 hours+ journey.
 |
| Here I am - Terminal 21! |
They have different theme for every floor, including the washrooms too!
Some may feel like visiting the washroom, on every floor. Hahaha
The food court offers myriads of local delicacies at a reasonable price with a systematic payment system.
Highly recommended!
I have been consuming lots of meat lately, so I've got myself vegetarian meal to sort of detoxify my body.
The mixed rice with 3 vegetables was merely 30 baht and the raspberries juice was 35 baht.
Sour and spicy!

| banana milk! I like the cute bottle on top |
It was raining heavily when I wanted to go to my scheduled destination so I changed the schedule of exploring the attractions in the vicinity of Terminal 21 and went to the Emporium for the Thailand Creative & Design Centre (which was linked directly from the BTS Phrom Phong station).

No joke, how I wish I can spend my whole day long over here in this library with top-notch facilities and yes, total silence (one can hear the needle drops!).
Don't get confused with the name of TCDC, you can find a vast collection of books ranging from literature to business.
TCDC is in fact the country's premier learning resource centre.
Basically, you can get all genres of book over there.
Cafe, multimedia lounge, auditorium, cafe... you name it, they have it.
Oh well, words can't describe the exclusive experience and photos definitely couldn't tell a thousand and million words here.
This is because photo-taking was strictly prohibited upon passing through the walkway.
So there was this Ploy Saeng 12 Festival: the Chili Business exhibition underway at the gallery, portraying Thailand's "hottest" commodity from its history to its business opportunities and networks.

Up next, settled my dinner at a unique restaurant with a bizarre name - Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant.
Don't get me wrong, it's a healthy restaurant conceptualising on family planning, aids awareness and prevention which serves great food too.
What's more, they channel part of the profits to the development activities of the Population and Community Development Associations (PDA).

| Tofu & Meat Soup 150 baht |
Well, I couldn't get to order much food as I was feeling quite full thanks to the previous meal.
Trust me, they have very high occupancy.

After the late dinner, it was time to go back to the hostel and get some rest...
I need to get up very early in the morning on the next day for an exciting tour!

Woohoo.. It was a hectic day with lots of attractive destinations to be visited.
Yes, I headed to Greece followed by Swiss!
Classic white-washed building portraying picture-perfect town!
Santorini Park cheered up my day.
Amusement park is not my thing but I really love the architecture and the colour presented.

| entrance fee: 50 baht |
Next stop: Swiss Sheep Farm
A European-themed farm with sheep, horses, pony, alcapa, rabbit and more.
 |
| entrance fee: 120 baht |

but when I do, it is a must-try!
 |
| Thai King & Queen just came to Hua Hin! |
 |
| bbq banana (it was hard :O) |
 |
| garlic chives (reminded me of Evelyn!) |
 |
| seriously, there were over 30 flavours! |
Last but not least, the Venezia!
Oh well, it closed as early as 8pm (contrary from what I've researched from the internet and the Hua Hin Pocket Guide which stated the closing hour at 9pm).
But anyway, I walked around while most of the lights were turned off.
 |
| oh Cinderella's pumpkin carriage! |
 |
| spot the weirdo! |

My second day ended with a late buffet dinner.
No, I refuse to take photo of myself bingeing on food.
LoL

| look at the huge Coke bottle! retro |
Opps.. Did I tell you that I was at Thailand throughout the day? :P
