Day of Mayhem



the day was exactly like the title. mayhem.

imagine 3 dogs in one car, plus 4 passengers, 1 driver. but most importantly, faulty air-con.

CAN JUST DIE INSIDE.

javier was damn excited, boxer was in a huge cage and baby was, no, not shivering. she was practically 'vibrating'. that day was as tiring as days can get.

and the biggest (in all sense of the word!) irritant of the day has to be..

he ran everywhere, didn't come when called, and jumped on a kid and made him cry! i can imagine what shonia will say. "oh my god, so horrible!"

but i love him to bits.

we're back..

and i wished we stayed a few more days.

lol. but our finance would definitely not allow that to happen. it pains me to just think about how much we spent. totally unacceptable! not backpacker-ish at all. but what the hell! it was a celebration so i guess it's ok to splurge once in a while.

patong worked it's charm as soon as we arrived. a small town with lots of shops and eateries, it was paradise. not to forget the charming little guesthouse that greeted us when we arrived up the town's points.. by a lot. i felt the thai people were generally very nice and friendly. met a lot of people who made the trip more pleasant.

phi phi took a little getting used to. the place is very run down, but that's okay. the biggest disappointment on the first day was the weather and beach. the water was not clear - at all. and the lodging just made me so gloomy. but that cleared up as the day wore on, and by the second day i thought phi phi rocked. island life at it's best.. quaint shops, nice pubs. nice.

but the best-est thing that happened on the trip? diving. it rekindled my love for the sport and i really missed out so much these 2 years. i wanna go diving again as soon as possible! but even better than best-est? yihao dived as well and that was just great.

tell you guys a secret..

we are broke!!

turns out phuket is not so cheap afterall! accomodation may be a steal, and getting bargains when shopping makes things affordable.. EATING IS NOT!! everyone knows i definitely do not eat like a mouse. well, it's definitely taking a toll on our funds. so...

it's QQ to the rescue!

she just transfered 3174 B to my account. lol.

thank God for ATMs.

phuket's not so sunny!

hey everyone! patong has been great! haha okay lah not great but fun enough. it's shopping heaven so yihao's pretty much the happiest he's been since some time (army and all!). the nightlife is so vibrant.. clubs, caberet, tiger shows, macdonalds (open 24hrs). how to describe the sex industry? it's like geylang on every street. patong's beach is the pits. total disappointment. our accomodation rock though! for air-con and comfy beds, we only pay $22 per night!

just came over to phi phi island today. the weather was quite bad in the morning but cleared up by afternoon. the water turned out to be not bad!! clearer than perhentian, but you have to wade further out sea.

we're gonna dive tmr! yihao's going for the discovery scuba.. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? i'm so psyched! the underwater world is amazing and he's gonna see it tmr! okay everyone. have fun back in singapore and see u guys soon!!

tired

Q: what is worse than giving out pamphlets at an MRT station?
A: giving them out door to door.

i am fucking tired can. my legs ache, my eyes want to close, my arms hurt and my shoulder feel like they are about to drop off. accepting the job was easy. but the execution is oh so killing me. and FYI to those stuck-up asses who snubbed me, ignored me...

PLEASE DON'T GIVE THAT FACE LIKE ACCEPTING THE PAMPHLET WILL KILL YOU CAN. wanna compare probability it is more likely to kill me. you all not gracious at all.

.
.

.

but seriously lah, the guy wants to hire me again after i come back from phuket to give out more flyers. i dunno man. i did these 3 days as more of a friend than i need the job. and i feel people in the company dun take me seriously leh. i think i am more capable than what they think. quite pissed off. and is 22 too old to still be giving out flyers?

most probably.

being singaporean means...

moving closer to the person in front of you in the queue when someone else comes near

the end is near, as the days grow short

funny how once on off days, the days fly by. in no time, i'll be in sunny phuket enjoying my iced tea and a nice book, while hoping fervently that i won't get stomped by protesters.

i'm kidding.

anyway i have some great news i'd like to share!! firstly,

CONGRATULATE ME COS I ORD LOH! yes yes, the much talked about day has finally arrived! i listened in delight as my encik uttered the sacred words ALL nsf would kill to hear. "Glenn, today is your last day." How i felt? Priceless. 2 years can be a very long time.

secondly, my india trip's pretty much confirmed and to celebrate, i bought an canon SLR. lol. okay lah, just an excuse but i strongly believe that i'll be putting it to good use. for my future travel adventures!

lastly, EVERYONE should go check out the script, a three-piece irish band that has a pretty solid album.

being singaporean means..

to speed up when the driver in the next lane signals he wanna cut into yours.
