Passion of Leaf


While in search for passion, I looked through the eye of still moments.
Hung helplessly on my window pane, curtains pushed aside...natural light beamed.

A few still moments were taken, but none of which appealed to my passion..
not until the wind, as though life came by...the curtains gave way slowly...
allowing me to catch my last glimpse..

Passion of Leaf
Mother nature hear my cries..
Giving me this..untouched, unplanned...stillness.

Hills of Deep Creek Conservation Park


The hills are alive (aahhhhh) with the sound of music (aahhhh),
With songs they have sung...for a thousand years (aaaahhhhhh)
The hills fill my heart (aahhh) with the sound of music (aaahhh),
My heart wants to sing every song it hears (every song that it hears)..

You may find yourself humming this subconsciously ^^

Picking Pebbles


I was picking pebbles with Berry :)

Heysen Trail

From this angle, we hiked uphill for 45 minutes over 1.5km~
It doesn't look as steep, but this is only the beginning of the slope.
Around 45 degree slope up, up and away, I slipped and fell.

My legs hurt for three days, not from falling though :)

Down below is the dirt road for 4WD only. Geralyn fell slipped and fell {Ouch!}!

Blowhole Beach

I tried my best to show you what I saw...the feeling I had when I was there...
Nature had me absorbed and dazed.

Some of us went fishing, some of us picked pebbles, and some played on the beach...
Relaxing?

Sun Set at BlowHole Beach

What you didn't know is we walked on dirt road for 2.5km...
not knowing there was a hike trail downhill, saw and smelt a kangaroo carcass.
--
Before the sun sets, we hiked [photo] 2km uphill on Heysen trail.
I slipped but didn't roll down the hill and join the kangaroo. ^^
I couldn't walk the next day.
Atleast I slept well that night!

Cherry Blossom : さくら: 梅花



Sakura

邓丽君:梅花 Lyrics

梅花梅花满天下
愈冷它愈开花
梅花坚忍象征我们
巍巍的大中华

看啊遍地开了梅花
有土地就有它
冰雪风雨它都不怕
它是我的国花

Long Neck Karen Hill Tribe


This lady was the first to catch my attention during my adventure at the Long Neck Karen Hill Village in Chiang Dao.

She could speak minimum Chinese, enough to sell her tribe's handmade goods. For that, I bought a Turquoise Stone Necklace, which was almost as heavy as my camera!
Price? 100 Baht = RM10.


Hill Tribe Lady

The village is surrounded by natural flora and fauna, primitive resources and "machines" to prepare food for the family. Two little boys were following us through our walk around the hill.

Boys playing in village

This scene made me smile.

Enjoy~

Exclusive Hotel in Chiang Mai

Mandarin Oriental Dhara Devi

Mandarin Oriental Chiang Mai

This hotel looks larger than it seems in this photograph.
When I say large, I mean there is no way you can walk to your room. You'll need a carriage, (which is superb for me because I love horses) to bring you to your room.




This grand hotel has almost everything you need, as a tourist, to experience the real life of the locals. How?

This is what you see right on your doorstep.



The surrounding environment is filled with plantations such as paddy fields, corn, fruits...you name it. Almost all the local plantations that can be found in Chiang Mai is found in this very hotel.

Your activities, as a tourist, includes getting your hands dirty. You are guided through the plantations, learning from seeding to harvesting the produce. That's real experience if you ask me.

The hotel also has its own yoga centre, swimming pool, business centre and a british colonial building as one of your choices of hotel rooms.
