130918 A huge gathering during Latern's festival

We came from different states.

We have different views of life.

We come to this place, UUM.

We stay in same hostel.

We meet each others.

Life is miracle. Might be many stranger will come and go around us.

But not all stay beside you.

The one who stays beside you are your friend.

God give us a chance become friend.

I wander why we are from different group in TM, but we are united.

Once Jamie announced that we would going to be organized a steamboat gathering, you all actively reply us and participate our event.

I m shocked by yours responses.  

Maybe we have a same view of point-- WE LIKE TO EAT.  Haha..

18th September

I rented the car and brought along 4 little girls go for buying the steamboat ingredients.

Thanks for all who cooperated to prepare the ingredients.

We bought 8 pack of sausages, 4 cabbages, crabstick, taufu, mushroom, fishball....

But they felt nothing although finished all the foods.

Could you imagine how big their stomach are.!!!

HAPPY LANTERN'S FESTIVAL

A short trip before my semester starts

A 2D1N short trip at Hat Yai with parents and aunt before i go back to Jungle life.

Pardon me that i described the life in UUM as jungle life. 

We stay inside the jungle. Sometime the monkey walk through in front of you.

The place we stayed in the center around the trees.

Back to my short trip.

I went Hatyai twice before.

First time i went with my parents and aunt oso,but followed the tour group

2nd time i went with my uni frenz.

Now is 3rd time. I be the tourist guide. 

haha..how dare am i...

Anyway, i brought them go for lunch at my favorite sushi buffet restaurant which located at Lee Garden, the center of Hatyai,.

It cost 350 bahts

 u can eat as much as u can within 1 hour and 15 min.

although the taste is not really as same as Japanese sushi, it is delicious.

 Taking photo can no longer be the privilege of young ppl. Elder ppl oso like to take photos...^^

After feeding our stomach, we went to tourist place in Hatyai.

This is the Buddha image of Hatyai which is built to be soul-dependent of Buddhist in Hatyai and nearby.It seems to be the biggest Buddha statue in blessing posture in southern thailand. It is molded with fine brass with the height of 19.90 meters (excluding the plinth) and 200 tons in weight. It is established on the occasion of His Majesty King Bhumibhol's 6th Cycle Birthday Celebration in 1999 and was bestowed the name - Phra Mongkol Maharaj

Bodhisattva Kuan Yin

The 20 metres high white jade statue of  Kuan Yin,  Goddess of  Compassion & Mercy is located on top of a hill at Hat Yai Municipal Park. A huge Dragon mouth's entrance make a warm welcoming to the temple. There are hundreds miniatures of  Kuan Yin's statues in the main pavilion  together with Eight Immortals's statues & other Dieties. At that hilltop, there is a huge statue of Kuan Gong, Jade Emperor, the fat laughing buddha ~ "Budai" and Kuan Yin's statues with the 12 Zodiac Animals. Besides that there is a newly build cable car connected between hills. It is about 1000 steps to the hilltop where there is 360 degree panoramic view of Hat Yai City and Songkhla.

Four Faces Buddha Temple (San Phra Phrom)

Four-Faced Buddha shrine (San Phra Phrom)  located on a hill at Hat Yai Municipal Park. A lot of people go to the shrine to pray and have their wishes answered by the Hindu god, Brahman. A number of miniatures elephants of various sizes donated by devotees are placed around the temple with a Three Headed Elephant statue "Airavata`` at mid hill. A firecracker housing located on hilltop for devotees to light firecrackers for good luck. A cable car links this hill to another hill where the Standing Buddha is located. From the view at the hilltop you can see virtually the entire Hat Yai City and Songkhla.

We went for foot massage at night.

enjoy it till the MAX....!!!!!
