Mr. Mineral Water

The system sucks. We've been waiting for that supposed increase in critical allowance for months. Acrix got his in January, but the other states are still waiting. Is it really gonna increase??

Looks like Mr Soh will have to bring his 'Diamond' mineral water out for another month... Looking sharp dude!!

Snapshots of Hatyai

Thailand is famous for it's tuk-tuk trucks, which functions as a taxi around here. Seriously, public transport in Hatyai is not cheap, but they take you everywhere.




Meet Od, my driver, and his son. He was really friendly, although communication was a real problem. He tried to speak as much English and Hokkien as he could.

One thing with Thailand is that there are mnay many mnay beautiful wats (Buddist temples). The designs are very detailed and colourful.

Fresh young coconut water is particularly refreshing in this part of the world. Maybe you might know this: Thailand is also known as Land of Coconuts (!!).

This is the Thai-Muslim typical dish. Fried chicken. Best eaten with pulut.

Crossed wires in Hatyai. Not an uncommon sight in the whole of Thailand. I guess it boils down to town-planning.

Thais believe in the supernatural - That's why the best horror movies are from this country. Shutter, The Unborn, Nang-Nak, etc... They even set up the "Alien Inspection Task Force"!!! (very 'cold' I known... LOL)

A Toast to the Birthday Girl

The Elite Team family would like to wish "Happy Birthday" to Miss Ng Siau Yong from the Tawau Hospital in Sabah. May all your wishes come true.

We would also like to welcome her back to Peninsula Malaysia, and I'm sure that there are many excited members who would like to meet up with her again. I heard from Felicia that Siau Yong won't be coming to Perlis unfortunately, because... "who wants to see horses and paddy fields?? Siau Yong likes shopping and hair saloons". Well.. sound like Hat Yai to me.... no? =)

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY SIAU YONG!!!

PS: Happy Pi Day everyone. 3.142... get it??

Holdin' Your Horses

I yet again have a new hobby here. I'm now loving horses. (Not in that disgusting kinda way Acrix) There's a new Equestrian center in perlis and horse riding is free for the first 6 months. The place is located in the middle of limestone hills. so it's a very relaxing place to chill out.

A close-up photo of my favourite horse. Coincidentally, the owner's from Thailand. =)

Photo of a pony (kuda padi). They keep all sort of horses here.

I'll end with a photo of my colleagues in Perlis.
