The day after Chiangmai

We just got home yesterday, exhausted. I felt like those timber logs that the elephants in Chiangmai were pulling. We didn’t do a whole lot of shopping. In fact, all I bought was 1 tub of L’Occitane cream and a pair of FAKE Birkenstocks. Yes! They have fake Birkie’s in Thailand! They had lots of fake designer handbags too but they were in the region of RM200-400 (USD60-120) and I prefer the real thing *wink*. And there were fake Tiffany jewellery that were even sold in those turqoise little boxes! Amazing! They were worth buying - RM40 for a silver bangle and you really couldn’t tell if it was real or not. I didn’t buy any though. I was on a food trip, not a shopping spree.
After 4 days of a bad overflowing tap on the Hub’s bum, we finally took him to see a Doctor today. She didn’t give him any antibiotics but told him to stay off food. ALL food, except for plain bread. Not even with butter. Poor Daddy. And there I was whacking my Ipoh Old Town chicken rice with ginger and chillies despite the fact that Tee and I have not fully recovered from our flu - the one we had before we left.
I bought RM44 worth of fruit today thinking we’d all go on a detox diet after all the crap we ate in Chiangmai. That got me 1 Ozzie mango, 2 small red apples, 1 small green apple, 2 medium Chinese pears, 8 medium oranges (for Tee’s daily orange juice dose), 1 packet of red seedless grapes and 5 bloody expensive but darn worth it, sweetest ever nectarines. I had wanted to get some bananas and a papaya too but it was too heavy to carry already as I was by myself in the market.
Tomorrow, my Mom is cooking crab curry for New Year’s Eve dinner. Mmmmm……………….
