never outstay the welcome. [ Wednesday, July 15 2009, 4:48AM ] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | gloria - mando diao ] i'm too sleepy to do anything much for now.. can't be arsed to unpack all my loot from catucak either since mom decided to empty out the cupboards this morning without getting me a new one to replace it yet so my clothes are pretty much cramped up in huge rusty suitcases that we hardly use to travel with anymore. i hate it when she tries to organize my stuff when i don't even have my own room to begin with and without telling me so i take about three hours to get ready every day, two hours just to LOOK for my clothes and one to shower and doll-up. we obviously didn't get to spend enough time in bangkok and i don't know if this virgin visit was a good one for afiq since he lost his wallet somewhere in khao san and please don't look at me that way, we were both lost in our own traces of time and even at one point when i tried to recall what happened, i just couldn't. we made a list of the other places we should go in our travel jotter (which he had secretly stuck a condom in one of the plastic pockets but i managed to throw it out before one of us got into trouble for something as useless as that) which of course, include really ambitious places like new york city and reykjavik haha! we can die trying but for now, bali next month sounds just as awesome.. ten people all cramped up in one cosy little hut, yikes! oh and i finally bought a canon dslr today after MUCH procrastination. will have to think of a name for it by tomorrow. it's a boy, by the way. +6

kaleidoscope of hope. [ Thursday, July 09 2009, 6:05AM ] [ mood | busy ] [ music | sweet tides - thievery corporation ] i love kids.. i could stand in the heat or freeze in the cold and just watch them play all day. it's the very one thing afiq and i, apart from the other nonsense we normally discuss, love to talk about. look at the guy in the green sweater, he had nose goo all over his face.. so cute!! that morning when i came home, i told my mom everything that happened on this trip.. the people, the culture. how i did the rain dance and made a fool of myself but enjoyed every second of it.. the beauty of south africa that rains in a kaleidoscope of colours. she was actually planning on goin to bangkok this weekend (knowing full well that i'm already goin with my friends, how typical of her) but too bad, the tickets were overbooked or some shit like that. sometimes my mom can be really annoying man. i'm tryin to talk her into going to johannesburg for a holiday some time this year.. with jaja and the rest. it'll be so fun! i just love the place so much so please pardon this melebih post-adventure excitement. will be heading to thailand's largest weekend market tomorrow.. afiq, let's get high and dry every freakinggg night!! +20

take a pause for a cause. [ Monday, June 22 2009, 10:37PM ] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | fist of god - mstrkrft ] loved the weather in san francisco.. the sun, the skies.. the blueness of it all. i never thought i'd say this but the packing and unpacking part is starting to take it's toll on me. this is probably the first time i had decided to control myself oh cmon nobody walks out of h&m empty-handed. but me. we had a great time venturing out to the fisherman's wharf where i had the best clam chowder ever and that was also my first time on a tram. ethan and i, with so much determination, attempted to walk all the way to the golden gate from there. we probably covered half of the bay area when i finally realised it's too far out and we should just hail a cab. this trip has screwed up my body clock the other way round which explains why i had slept so much here in hong kong, never even had the chance to check out the streets or get any food. sorry rachel! heading back to singapore in a couple of hours. i miss home, my girlfriends.. i miss afiq the most. we try to video-call each other every night but you know that's never enough. +8

love's not only blind but deaf. [ Thursday, June 18 2009, 2:51PM ] [ mood | anxious ] this trip is totally premature and i was not mentally-prepared for it at all! i haven't even booked a hotel for bangkok and they just had to put me on a plane all the way to the states. the land of monetary damage, the ultimate retail therapy, a fuckin shoppin euphoria. HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME. ok, ethan's in my room now and he's about to indulge in some gay-shit porn flick. yuck. till tomorrow! goodnight. +13
