and i didnt expect that i could get to see Mekong River.
the one which i had researched before on the mystery of that river.

was looking outta the window from inside the van, admiring the loooooong stretch of Mekong River, when a really beautiful and conspicuous resort on the opposite side of the road caught my attention. i was like ''whoa~ mummy see! so beautiful~"

the van driver, slowed down, and made a U-turn.
know what? that resort is the one ajan had booked for us! OMG~!
beautiful....
all admiring the riverbank.

the resort....


had our dinner at the resort outdoor cafe.
where we can dine & admire the Mekong River scenery at the same time.






had a wonderful sleep. altho it was only about 5 hours.

9 November 08
i woke up to find that my right eyelashes extension had fallen off.
found near my pillow. WTH!! T_T
my mum laughed at me. =.="
i think i rubbed my right eye in my sleep. not even feeling the 'pain'. =.=
i had no choice but to pluck out my left eyelash extension as well.
otherwise, both my eyes would look disproportionate. =.=

ball & sangwan had earlier planned to spend tonight at Cha-am/Hua Hin.
to celebrate Loy Krathong [ลอยกระทง] together~!

"Although not an official public holiday, Loy Kratong is one of the most popular and romantic of Thailand's traditional festivals. During the night of the full moon, intricately decorated with banana leaves & flowers, the krathong are lit and drifted afloat down rivers, ponds, and canals. Buddhists in Thailand believes that the act of floating away the candle raft is symbolic of letting go of all one's grudges, anger and defilements, so that one can start life afresh on a better foot. People will also cut their fingernails and hair and add them to the raft as a symbol of letting go of the bad parts of oneself. Many Thai believe that floating a krathong will create good luck, and they do it to worship and thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha. Lanna-style hot-air lanterns (khom fai) made of rice paper are launched into the air. These are believed to help rid the locals of troubles."

at night, sangwan fetched ball on our way to Cha-am Beach.

"Wife's hurt, but I still pity my mistress"

MISTRESS DISFIGURES HIS WIFE WITH HOT OIL, BUT HUSBAND SAYS: "My heart still goes out to my mistress" This headline on The New Paper caught my eye yesterday and after reading the article, i felt so damn pissed off about that husband (who dont even fit to be one)! Here's the shorter version: His wife, Madam Chan Hoong Choo, 41, is badly scalded by the hot oil poured on her by his mistress, but Mr Soo Kiong Sing, 46, says he is still caught between the two women and pities his mistress. On Tuesday, the mistress, Goh Gek Hwee, 36, was jailed 3.5 years and fined $4,500 for the attack on the morning of 18 Apr. At about 8.30am, she forced her way into the Soos' flat and tied both Madam Chan Hoong Choo (Mr Soo's wife) and his 16-year-old daughter up. Goh then heated some oil in a frying pan and poured the hot oil over Madam Chan's head and slowly down her body, then onto her legs. A district court heard that Madam Chan Hoong Choo suffered burns to her face, scalp, t
