weekend at home

we, my sis, her hubby and i, went home to spend the weekend with mom again while dad was still away. literally, we weren't home much. on saturday morning we went to the flea market. mom with her friend. my sis went with her hubby. and i ran there and met with my sis at the market. while running, lot of villagers waved at me. nobody runs from the village to the market. i am the first one doing this and seem to be the last one too. it took me 30 minutes to get there. soaked with sweat, i walked slowly looking around.

later after lunch, we packed in the car and left for hatyai. we headed to the hadyai public park where the new market for various kinds of plants is set. it was the second week of the market so there were not so many shops yet. then we headed to robinson, spent about 2 hours there and headed home. ...
sunday morning, i woke up at the wee hour, got changed to my running outfit, grabbed a camera and my bike, then biked around the village. it was very quiet and misty. a bit cold and fresh. not so many people on the road so i paddled along mindlessly to another village. both sides of the road were filled with rows of rubber tree with falling leaves. it was the time of the year when rubber tappers stopped working. until the new leaves sprout out, they start working again.

after biking, i biked to look for mom. she likes to go out for a morning walk with her buddies. but she wasn't there when i got there so i went to our new house and there she was watering the plants..
i like her garden. there are a lot more plants and vegetables. we can pick fresh veggies to cook and eat raw from here..
the backyard with our minipool.. dad said he wanted to get done with the house first and the pool later.. so we have to wait few more months..

the front side of the house.

and the left side with lots of banana trees.. a nice place for cat naps!

i still keep up with running, enjoy it and am doing good with it.
this was taken when i was walking at the plant market.. and i truly can't wait for my next adventure!
when i am home, i can't help taking pictures of flowers and this one was one of them.. at my auntie's gardend..
we got back to hadyai on sunday before lunch. i planned not to open my shop so i have plenty of time to chill. guess what i did? i watch 3 movies in a roll! they were "nick and norah's infinite playlist" (cute one), "holes" (good one) and "the house bunny" (silly and funny one) and at night before hitting the sack, i watched 2 DVDs of "sex and the city". at first i didn't like it but now after getting to know each charactor, i started to enjoy it more.. but not so addicted as grey's..
so, here was my quite a long and evenful weekend. it was awesome to chill out at home, close shop, roam around hadyai with mom, read book and buy new one and woke up to the days with no obligations.. life is so good!
