For more (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zongzi">read here – wikipedia</a>)<br /><br />I have always been a big fan of rice dumpling especially the home made ones, as it is rich in ingredients. Usually during this festival, my auntie would make some and give around the neighbours and there are at one time, my auntie forgot that the neighbor went travel and I had 2 weeks of bak chang!

It is now one of the most happening festival in Thailand during that period for the year.<br /><br />As I understand Songkran is something similar like Chinese New Year that it was traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders, including family members, friends and neighbors. <em>People celebrating Songkran may also go to a wat (Buddhist monastery) to pray and give food to monks. They may also cleanse Buddha images from household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance (Thai: น้ำอบไทย) over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year. In many cities, such as Chiang Mai, the Buddha images from all of the city's important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people can toss water at them, ritually 'bathing' the images, as they pass by on ornately decorated floats. In northern Thailand, people may carry handfuls of sand to their neighborhood monastery in order to recompense the dirt that they have carried away on their feet during the rest of the year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles and decorated with colorful flags.<br /><br />Some people make New Year resolutions - to refrain from bad behavior, or to do good things. Songkran is a time for cleaning and renewal. Besides washing household Buddha images, many Thais also take this opportunity to give their home a thorough cleaning.<br /><br />People in a tuk tuk getting soaked during Songkran in Chiang Mai<br /><br />The use of chalk (Thai: ดินสอพอง) is also very common having originated in the chalk used by monks to mark blessings.<br /><br />The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people, by capturing the water after it had been poured over the Buddhas for cleansing and then using this "blessed" water to give good fortune to elders and family by gently pouring it on the shoulder. Among young people the holiday evolved to include dousing strangers with water to relieve the heat, since April is the hottest month in Thailand (temperatures can rise to over 100°F or 40°C on some days). This has further evolved into water fights and splashing water over people riding in vehicles.</em><span style="color:#ff0000;"> <em>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkran">abstract from wikipedia</a>)</em></span><br /><br />The usual fight that we will equip ourself during this festival which is no stranger to our childhood memories are widely used 'Water Gun', besides this, you can use a pail, or any item that can store water to splash it on people/ passer-by.<br /><br />Lets head back to my story, continue of my previous post that during the eve for the night.

I got a chance to watch IP Man 2 movie preview thanks to Nuffnang for the tickets.<br /><br />If most of you had watch IP Man part 1 that had anticipated a lot of Wushu martial arts Wing Chun that fought with the Japanese. In this show, the martial art Legend fought with American style, Boxing. It also, about pride of every one to defend their martial arts that Sammo Hung had fought with that guy for pride and integrity.<br /><br />A great martial art movie that I get to know how IP man grows his legacy and one of the news that I got is that Bruce Lee was actually his apprentice. I feel that, there might be a part 3 coming out..Hopefully there us, that might tell the story of Bruce Lee.<br /><br />Nice movie but some might find it a bit boring as it involves alot of talking but the fighting scene will not dissapoint you.<br /><br />-- Tik Ching, Pass, Stamped --<br /><br />Overall ratings 8.5/10, great movie, recommended~~~<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">-- The movie rated by me is by my own personal preference.

Then we continue our journey again early next day to the boarder to avoid long queue in the immigration area as a lot of Malaysian are entering for the festival, as there is once my colleague stranded there for about 3 hours just to get the passport stamped.<br /></div><p align="center"><a title="waterView Restaurant by taufulou, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahbok/4531632314/"><img alt="waterView Restaurant" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2210/4531632314_2ba163613d.jpg" width="500" height="313" /></a></p><div align="justify">As we drive into Thai and I come accross some great info from <a href="http://blog.thestar.com.my/permalink.asp?id=24448&cat=23">Star Online</a> that one of the guy went over, he sure do cover up the details to those who are driving up as below:<br /><br /><em>Just a guide for those who want to drive into Thailand. [1]Original or photostat copy of vehicle registration in the driver's name is required for our Malaysian border Police checking and for the Thai Customs officer at their immigration checkpoint to issue an "Import/Export" permit for the vehicle. Those driving company vehicles have to obtain a letter of authorisation by the company to allow the driver [you the visitor] to use the vehicle. I do not recommend visitors to use company car because if there is an accident or car stolen, the reporting and recovery procedure is very complicatng and long - very messy.<br /><br />If you intend to drive a lot fill up full tank at Changlun cos petrol in Thailand is much more expensive - I think at least RM3/- per litre. Buy a one-week insurance cover for RM19/- at any of the tour agencies in Changlun, at the same time pay RM1/- for your Thailand imigrattion card to be filled up. Never give a ride to strangers and never carry some luggage for them - especially when departing from Thailand. </em></div><p align="center"><a title="waterView Restaurant (2) by taufulou, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahbok/4530999749/"><img alt="waterView Restaurant (2)" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/4530999749_8c483d6454.jpg" width="333" height="500" /></a></p><div align="justify">As all our makan itinerary been planned by Karen as Thai is like her second home with her assistant Jonathan.
