hello! how was your weekend? how was the weather up there?

i just came back from home. it was the same as the previous weekends; playing with my nephew and niece and walking around the house taking pictures. this is my normal and simple life on the usual weekend, if i don't have anything else planned or if i don't roam the globe. yet, it's a happy and simple one.. couldn't be happier!

saturday morning, i had to wake up and got ready earlier to accompany my sister to bring phun to hatyai for his monthly vaccination. he was a big boy, didn't cry when the doctor jabbed the needle into his chubby left thigh. if anyone looked at me closely while he was jabbed, he/she could see my tears.. yeah, i cried (but managed to hide) while he was pierced.. hell.. it was good nobody noticed it!.. (however, i was better than my brother.. he cried and sobbed in the hospital toilet when py was vaccinated at the first time..)

saturday night, it was pouring hard outside all night long. i thought it was going to flood again. (if it flooded, i would be able to use it as an excuse to stay home one more day!) but no, it stopped before daylight broke in. it was a cold morning and i liked to stay under my thick blanket as long as possible. but you couldn't do that if you live under the same roof as a baby. they always wake you up. my sis holding phun in one arm knocked on my door at 6.30 am. it was time for auntie to bring him out for a walk again. sleepily, i walked out of my room to check if it rained. the boy was lucky. it was just misty and not a drop of rain. the all night rain left fresh air and creamy fog around the house..

..we dressed phun up with a hat and a pair of socks.. off we went with his baby stroller..

..he looked so jolly being put in his baby stroller.. it was time for him to see the world again. .

my sister followed us a while later with his formula. phun likes to be fed under a big tree where he can see green leaves and wide blue sky..

..our morning walk around the house..

at 7 am, i gave phun back to my sister and laced up for a morning run. i left late this morning but lucky that the sun didn't shine. the village was still thick with the fog when i left my home. i walked slowly through the village and started running from the temple and ran towards the market. i ran slowly along the hilly road for the whole 5k. it was a fresh and quiet morning and it felt good to run alone. as the road was hilly, i didn't want to speed up. i wanted to save my legs for the next day for a long and quick run on the treadmill. since coming back from holiday, i felt that they hurted easily after a hard run, so i needed to take it easy and stretch more before starting running.. it took me 40 minutes this morning to complete my 5k run. i didn't sweat much as the sun didn't shine. but it felt good to run and managed to get it done. i felt a bit lazy before i left the house and unsure if i would run or not.. but i convinced myself that i would feel good if i went out.. that's why i laced up and left my house..

..coming back home, phun was still hanging around in front of the house with her mom..

..i went inside to get eddy and walked around snapping..

in the afternoon, i had an appointment with dave but didn't know what time. he told me he would call me when he left home for the airport. at 1.30 pm, he finally called me saying that he just woke 30 minutes ago and leaving for the airport.. and he flight was 3 pm... shit! he gave me such a short notice to drive to see him at the airport. still, i went. leaving home at 1.30 pm, i arrived at the airport and saw him at 2.10 pm. i asked him what time his boarding time was, he said 2.20 pm. so, i drove from home nearly 30 kms. just to see him for 10 mins! (dear god, boys are still boys, day and night!) ..

i joined him and martin at a coffee shop inside the terminal, had a quick chat for 10 mins and then parted. he gave me 2 books and i gave him one box of chocolate. martin asked dave why i gave it to him, he said it was just her.. yeah, it was just me. most of the time when meeting a friend i gave something to them, as a gift. it's my tradition.. (except if i am the one who travel, as i try to travel light, i send them after instead..)

..martin was surprised seeing me with eddy. he asked me if i carried him everywhere i went, i said yes.. dave wasn't as he knew me for quite a long time now..

..i asked dave if the sunglasses were belong to his girlfriend as they looked girlie. martin cracked up and looked at him.. dave said something like they were cool and trendy.. i think dave is funny. every time i saw him, i saw him with different new sunglasses which always looked funny on him.. (i've never told him this!) but he was very confident wearing them.. so let he be!

after seeing dave off, martin and i walked to our cars. as it was still hot and baking and i was lazy to drive to my shop and i still had few hours, i drove back home. my sis and her hubby were surprised seeing me again. i told them my mission was completed and i wanted to be home on the few hours left. they looked pleased and happy.. and so was i.

we ganged up in my sister's room, taking turns playing with phun and surfing the net to pass the time before i drove back to hatyai again with kla at 5 pm.

it was a glorious weekend and i can't wait to spend time with them again next weekend.. it was a pity that py was away to trang during the weekend and will be on the road to the north with her mom and dad for 8 days next week. so, our next weekend will be hugely quiet and peaceful. we will miss her loads.. hope you guys live life to the fullest..
