[napa_g]

those advertisement showing people lying at the beach... bliss... peace... relaxing... romantic... LIARS!!!
the sun was hot enough to burn our skin crispy.
the sea infested with jellyfish.
we don't get 3 meals a day, but ONE long continuous meal that goes on the whole day, featuring seafood... EVERDAY... for 5 days.
if anyone dare mention

WOW! U guys went on a holiday! Where is Cha Am? Didn't sounds like an enjoyable holiday leh... maybe chiara was too hype up during the vacation so she's exhausted enough to sleep on her own.

Cha'am is a beach that's driving distance to Bangkok. We have a place there; that's why we go there (as opposed to other beaches). I recall the area to be quite nice.

Seafood all the time? What happened to BBQ chicken with sticky rice? Don't they have them there? Gai yang in between bamboo sticks, tied with string at the end? Don't tell me they're all gone!! Or was it just my imagination? Heh.

So you couldn't go into the water at all?

Over here in SF, it's been raining for 1 1/2 months with a few days of sunshine here and there. I hope it stops raining. I swear; it's horrible for the plant industry (when it rains, people don't go into the garden, etc)

oh yah! we did have those bbq chicken between chopstick one morning.... right before all those seafood.

i did go into the sea, despite the jelly fish. mom and dad are itching right now with red patches on their bodies. i didn't get anything. it's weird coz i was in the water for the longest time. but dad, who was always sleeping on those beachy chairs, only went into the water once to get mom coz she was floating too far away, got hella stinks.

Oh wow didn't realise you guys have a place there! SO good!

I don't mind having seafood all the time actually. Yum!

ok ok... i should do Cha Am some justice. I was just tired ok. But it was fun too. the kids went horseback riding, played sand like there's no tmr (we covered them up with bottles of sunblock). we also went to a natunal park and everyone (except chiara and i) went mountain climbing into a cave with beautiful scenery. we saw monkeys, mudskippers, and mangroves (spelling?.. u know, those plants in our primary3/4 books that grow in salty water and yet not exactly sea water)

we all got beautiful tan. mina is the prettiest with tan. she looks so hawaiian esp when she puts flowers in her hair.

Sounds great wot. Why you have to make it sounds so negative in the first place? Yummy seafood! Opps I said the S word...hehe

[napa_g]

coz i'm really exhausted.
anyway, now that i'm rested, i think the trip was good.

yes, i'll have to kill you now

[ashlad]

lol.

do you read Calvin & Hobbes? i think i remember one strip where Calvin's dad said that the whole point of vacations was to make you so tired and frustrated that by the end of it, you'd be happy to go back to the daily grind. something like that.

[napa_g]

hahahaha... how true.

WOw, you aced me on complaining for this one! But I liked both sides of YOUR story. Chiara sitting beneath an umbrello is funny...the chicken and bamboo sticks thing.. I want them!!!
