Hat Yai

30th January - 1st February 2009

And so we embark on a road journey to the north border of Malaysia and then to our destination at Hat Yai. It took us about 3 hours+ driving by car @.@

One of the many mountains spotted while on the road
I think it was dug for limestone and marbles


Immigration complex Bukit Kayu Hitam



Kya! Bird's Nest and Ginseng tea =)


Dried squid anyone? ;D


Tut-Tut car, a typical local public transportation =D
Never change since my last visit during primary school


These Elephants are for sale!! No kidding =D


My sister and I with the Chua sisters and brother Elaine, Shereen and Ren

Wishing fulfilling tree that grants your wishes that's written on a red cloth


Humming birds

Open up and let it fly, far far away! ;D




Some net setup just for the firecrackers!
It does lift up the CNY spirit in a quiet temple =)

Dinner with my dad's life-time friends =)
Loving the alfresco ambiance

There is an interesting story how this trip come about actually, my dad's friend Mr.Chua lost his father months ago and while searching through his assets, found a diary that contains information about their long-lost-brother (LLB), who lives in Thailand... and so Mr.Chua elder brother, who has retired as a lawyer followed his father's diary and trace back his LLB and finally found him xD
