After a good massage yesterday (2 hr 190 Baht) my aching bum disappeared and I went into a deep snooze until this morning when the firecrackers woke me up.
Did a little packing up and headed out for my breakfast... nothing much was on the menu for me but I did managed to have some 'you za gui' (thai style... very small piece aka those fried butterfly we have back home) and plonked myself in front of a PC early in the morning..
Teresa Deng's Tian Mi Mi blaring over the airwaves was probably the next most Chinese entity that I came across. Of course not dismissing the 2nd and 3rd generation of Thai Chinese around me in this town 3 hrs from Bangkok. The festive celebration is definitely less subtle as compared to what we have in SG. But the locals here too did the usual prayers with fruits, incense, coconuts and some instances, chicken (Amituofo....)
Some banners, chun lians and festive decorations have been put up in the city district but still that same statement, very subtle. :)
Will be moving off to Bangkok shortly and I better get back to collect my laundry and get my bum down to the train station. Yeps... I am taking the train down instead of the bus. There is a direct bus that goes off often from the bus terminal but since I am here already, might as well take it as an experience to get onto their trains :)
Anyway, I should be logging in once I hit Bangkok... And the possibilities that I would check into a cybercafe is very high hahaha... given my nature *smirks*
Thus... have a good reunion dinner tonight to all of you back there.
