On the very first day... ( 24/5 )
We reached Pudu Raya Central by 8 in the morning and departed at 9. It's actually an 8 hours journey but due to traffic jam on the highway, the journey extended to 10 hours. Oh gosh, I couldn't imagine how we spent our precious time on the bus for such a long period! =O Okay, so we merely transformed into a pig, hehee ^_^ Let's see, more than half of the bus was occupied by my family members so basically it's just like we rented the bus. xD This is definitely the advantage of having a big family, haha. We walked around in the bus, had some parties, chit-chatting with each other even with other passengers and most importantly, we slept a lot. But still, it's quite boring since we just eat and sleep. =(
The second day... ( 25/5 )
Almost all of us woke up around 8 in the morning and went around to the other rooms just like it's our home. I watched the tv and online for awhile having some morning snacks in my cousins' room while waiting for some that are still yet to wake up. When the clock finally stricke 10, we went out for our breakfast and wandered around the area.
My sister spotted a 7-eleven and so we went in and bought some Yogurt drink. Sister belanja. xP We then went to those tourist area and bought variety of snacks, seaweeds and all those crackers. As we reached the morning market, we went to shop for some bags and accessories. There's this scary lady bag seller, she chases us around the morning market when my younger cousin rejected to buy her bag after thinking for quite some time. =3= At last, she bought the bag but all of us had the same thought that the bag is not nice. Whatever, it's her bag after all. Another bag seller, she chases us too! But in the opposite manner, she chases us out of her shop. =.= I don't know why, she got annoyed somehow when we were asking about the prices of her bags. Hmm, maybe we asked too much? xD Aish, forget about bag seller, we then proceeded to other shops and went back to the hotel for a rest after having our lunch.
Nothing much to do at the hotel, just some daily routine like going online, watching television and running here and there! Lol, I know it sounds childish. ^_^ After awhile, we went out for shopping at another mall and here started our craziness in taking photos with all the cute bears and dolls. There's even a Hello Kitty Department. =O
Dinner time! We went to this well-known Lee Garden 33th floor to have our Tom Yam buffet dinner ( Sky Buffet ) ! =D At first I was quite looking forward to it, but their Tom Yam was so damn HOT AND SPICY to the level that my tears just couldn't stop rolling down. T.T My cousin brother went around joking about how we will fall down from that high building that we were in. After some desserts, we accepted a challenge to walk down from that 33th floor to ground floor by using stairs since we were all so full and hard to digest. But the stairs was so scary and quite dark, linking to a dead end, so the challenge can't be done and so we had to go down by lift.
After we reached the ground floor, we went to shop around the complex and found some nice shops. I saw an artist hat and it was so nice that I wanted to buy it so much but the price for it was also very nice. TT As they came down to meet us, we continued to shop until it's time for the complex to close. As we were walking around again, someone came up with an idea to go massage as they were very tired. My cousin brother was shocked when they said to massage, I don't know why. And then when we said we want to do those temporary tattoo, my cousin's girlfriend got shocked. Haha, such a cute couple. =P While waiting for them to massage, we went to shop around again. @@ I realised that a lot of them know Chinese and Teochew when we were shopping around. Tired of shopping and waiting, we decided to go back to our hotel room. We walked back but went to the wrong route, as a result, my legs were so tired and going to break soon. I regretted not to agree when my dad asked whether to go by Tuk Tuk. =( Finally, we managed to go back to the hotel after asking for help from some strangers. ( Their English is a real problem, very poor @@ ) Mum was so annoying as she keeps on nagging about it. Haiz. We went to sleep after had some snacks that they bought back. ^_^
The next day... ( 26/5 )
Same as the day before, everyone woke up around 8 o'clock. After some preparation, we went out to the market for breakfast and visit around. Once again, we went around shopping and bought some clothes and bags. But the clothes there are quite matured so basically we couldn't find those that really suits us. ^_^ And the shops there are having wholesale so they only sells 6 pieces and above. =/
After awhile, we went back to the hotel and spent some time relaxing there. We had tuna pie, watched some television shows and played some games. After we showered, we went to tourist area by rented cars. The cars were luxurious but of course, expensive. =3= Firstly, we went to ride cable car, but it was raining that time so plan FAILED. We saw monkeys there and they were so active walking around. We then had coconut ice cream bought from a street vendor nearby and it was so delicious! I can still remember the taste until now. Yum yum.
After a short journey, we reached Hatyai Ice Dome. Only the youngsters went in as the older generation are not interested. It's okay, we still had fun apart from the shivering that we went through, haha. It's -15 degree weih! But each and everyone of us wore shorts on that day except for my cousin's girlfriend. Oh, all of us wore slippers! Those beach-like slippers. xD But still, we had a lot of fun inside while having the same feeling that our fingers and toes will break off at any moments. Haha, it was so funny that time!
On the way to Songkhla, we stopped by at the Chang Puak Camp and there's elephants there! But it's quite smelly, haha. =P Before leaving, we tried to take a few family photos but there was this Malay family that keeps on going to the place where we were taking photos and ruined the photos. =3= Plus the weather was so hot that day and we have to keep on retaking the photos, so there's ONLY ONE which is the most successful out of all. Heng!
We then headed to Samila beach but unfortunately the weather was not really good as there was rain droplets. But who cares, we still went down to the beach and had fun. Had a few jump shots but failed. Heavy rains poured down and we were all wet. xD As it was raining, we rested for awhile and had some snacks that we brought. We, the cousins washed off the sand on our feet by using rain water that was pouring. There's a mermaid statue on the beach, so we went there to continue taking photos when the rain stopped. We took some weird photos and finally to jump shots again. We had several tries and finally we succeeded! =D We saw someone riding horse there and there's this two naked kids running around. xD
As the sky turned dark, we went on a ferry and went the opposite side to have some seafood for dinner at a Songkhla restaurant. The scenery there is very nice and the food was so scrumptious. =P

| The tables were so messy after we had our dinner xD |
After dinner, we went to the floating market. There were so many sampan floating on the water, each and every of them selling all kind of food. The market was so big and they really sell wide variety of things. The earrings they sell were all so cute and nice so I couldn't control myself and spent RM20 solely on earrings. xD Of course, I bought some souvenirs and other accessories for myself too! xP We then went to another night market which was quite nearby. The night market was so big and organized. How should I say that, the market is somehow seperated into two sides, one side sell mainly food while the other sell clothes. Got to buy some clothes from there too but there was a super cute top that I didn't bought. REGRET!!! T^T Before going back to hotel, my sister spotted the 7-eleven nearby and there we went to buy some yogurt drinks and snacks again. After getting down from the car upon reaching the hotel, we youngsters went to have desserts while my aunts and uncles went back to their hotel room. We ordered some Tong Shui there and shared some funny talks. Aww, really miss that moment! =( As the time is already very late after we finished our desserts, we went back to our own hotel rooms.
Finally, the last day... ( 27/5 )
We woke up around 7 in the morning and prepared to check out as soon as everyone woke up. For breakfast, we went to have dim sum in town.
Then, we had our last walk in Hatyai. At first we want to go to a mall but they haven't open yet so we have to wait until 10.30 in the morning. So before they open, we walked around the town and bought some snacks again, hehe. My mother then met her long-time-no-see relatives and they chatted for quite awhile. At last, the mall opened and there's only a few other shoppers other than us. xD We then left the mall and went to walk around for awhile and then my sister spotted a 7-eleven shop again! Yogurt drink, woohoo! =P Time doesn't allow us to stay long, so we had no choice but to gather up at the centre to wait for the arrival of our bus. We said our goodbyes to Hatyai and our beloved aunt, uncle and cousin brother ( he's not there xD ). In no time, we reached the immigration and therefore, our trip ends.
But WAIT, there's more that happened on the bus. It's really heartbreaking and annoying everytime I think about it! There's a Vietnamese girl boarded the bus after the immigration there and she sat behind me, alone. ( Please note that the seat of mine is a single seat since I don't like to be bothered by others ) She's around 20+, quite pretty and she knows a lil Chinese. Her English was quite good too! Okay, that's not the point. You know that there's always two drivers for long route who take turns to drive right? When it's halfway down to Pudu Raya Central, everyone slept due to boredom and too tired. Suddenly there's some noise coming from behind me. Okay, not only noise, but she also kept on banging my chair. I am a light sleep person, so I woke up and turned around, annoyed. She was very nervous and had a scared expression. She kept on focusing on the side of her seat and I thought there was insects so I got nervous too. xD I asked her what's wrong but then she told me there's a hand at the side of her seat. She said that hand molested her and I was at loss. I don't know what to do but fortunately my cousins woke up too. After I told them, my dad who sat opposite her then woke up. I don't know whether what she said is true or not, but the driver that was sleeping behind her has no response at all. I guess he's scared since we all found out? But anyway, my cousins went home when the bus reached a petrol station which was near their house. The girl then changed her seat to my cousin's and then we reached the central. Nothing much after that. I just helped that girl to communicate with her Chinese friend on phone and sent her to the opposite road where her friend is. From what I know, that friend and her is not really close, which worries me. Anyway, I hope that she's okay after that.
Last but not least...
This trip finally ended but we were all so unwilling to leave. =( Anyway, this was really an unforgettable family trip! Hope to have more family trips in the future. Actually there isn't much difference between Thailand and Malaysia, since the weather are quite similar and the environment too~ Plus, it's my cousin brother's homeland. So, I don't really feel like we are at a foreign country. =目 Oh ya, I really can conclude that we really walked and shopped a lot in this trip. =P And my sister really likes Thailand's 7-eleven, okay maybe us too, haha! Wish we could stay there for few more days. Hmm, but nevermind, there will be many chances to go there again, as well as other nicer places. =D
