Random Discoveries In Hatyai

I just came back from Hatyai, Thailand last night. It wasn't the first time I been there but I made some discoveries that I wonder how come I did not the previous times I went there.


Like the 'story' behind this piece.


Not in Thailand.. Took this on one of the highways.

1) Every girl, yes EVERY, applies cosmetics there. And no, it's not just a plain thin layer of powder with some shades here and there and light lipstick. Instead, the cosmetics I mean involves thick foundation, excessive blusher, eyeliner, mascara, eye  shadow, fake lashes, lipstick, lip gloss and.. what else did I miss? Well, just everything one can apply on the face. What's more? Not just growing-up girls or young adults put on make-up but this is applicable females of every age group. 25-years-old road side hawker stall chicken rice seller, 10-years-old primary school kid, 60-years-old fruit seller aunty, to name a few.

2) Out of 10 people, only 2 of them wear spectacles. One of the two is a tourist and the other one is a man. I see no girls, seriously NONE of the girls wear spectacles. Why? I thought wearing specs look  nice.


Old school picture.

3) Look around you'll see a few dogs wondering around. What so special? Well, the dogs you see on street side are not plain stray dogs but those beautiful breeds- poodles and those you know, fur balls kind of dogs. But of course, there are a few stray dogs as well.



Extreme cute-ness!! <3

Bought several stuffs there, mainly clothes- 2 pairs of trousers, 5 pieces of tops, 3 pairs of shoes, 5 pairs of earrings, 2 bottles of Listerine... Yea. That's about it.

 
One of the store I bought clothes from. Totally new to me. Never thought of buying clothes from a porn shop.

Oh! A must when you visit Hatyai, massage! Previously, I went for full body massage but this time, I went for foot massage. Twice! :D


What was his name again? I forgot.

While I was in Hatyai, I have this very strong urge to get a tattoo. I don't know why but it's just there. I want to get one!! So, Gs, remember what you said! And Prince, remember what to do XD


Fake punye la...

And look at this plant I saw.



Look properly, there's no flower. The 'flowers' are actually red leaves. How special! Hmmm.. well, maybe some of you might notice this in other places, perhaps even your own home, but forgive me. This is the first time ever I saw this kind of plant == From this close up pic, it might be very obvious that they are leaves but when I see it as a whole, I wasn't very aware that the so-called flower was not exactly flower.

Oh yea, Ah Ken once told me about these oranges when we were on a trip in Sarawak. He said he wanted green oranges. They are extremely sweet. I did not manage to snap a pic that time but here it is..



Why are they call orange when they are green in colour? Should I start calling Orenar (Orange) Greenar (Green) instead?

P/s : I was stopped by the immigration officers when entering back into Malaysia. They doubted me for being Malaysian.
