Trip?
Trip.
Trippy.
JUST KIDDING.
And so the blogging begins, don't mind my lup sup English.
Most of the times we go to other country as tourists.
But since I've learnt some Thai, and I really like the Thai culture, I decided to go to Phuket with a slightly less tourist mindset this time round.
And the outcome was amazing.
I feel the warmth in every single person.
Most not leading an easy life but at least no one seems to be lifeless.
Remember I used to talk about how the people in MRT are always so dead?
Everyone's just using their phone / sleeping.
I feel that it is actually annoying for me to see the same situation every day when I go to work at Suntec in the morning sometimes.
And I don't think this will ever change as technology keeps on improving over the years.
Everyone will just be glued to their phone everywhere all the time.
I know I'm not in the right to criticise about this because I myself is guilty for all the above mentioned.
But going to Phuket this time round kind of opened my mind.
As if I found myself (kind of loss in this holiday period)
The best part of the trip would probably be times when I'm totally alone.
That feeling is so awesome.
And I won't even be touching my phone too because I didn't get a sim card.
So walking along the streets, scootering down the roads, as I blend into the thai lifestyle, all I feel in my heart is peace.
Away from all the problems in Singapore.
It felt so ...
How do I put it?
I don't know.
It's just that warmth in my heart.
Made a few local friends over there.
Two tour agents, one bar boss and a few bar girls.
The first tour agent Pete was probably the friendliest dude in the whole of Patong.
I like how he's so humble and polite when talking to people.
Even though he's so much older than me.
Yes..... I know he's a tour agent and I'm a tourist.
Definitely, the way he speaks to me would be more friendly.
But still, he's a funny man and I like how he's enjoying his job.
Everytime we walk past him he will be waving to us and smiling so wide.
LEGIT SMILE.
We probably won't smile so happily from our heart to some strangers you met a few hours ago.
So we went to Phi phi island with him helping us and then he wasn't there anymore the next day.
So the next day was his friend.
Bee.
I call her P, Bee.
Hahaha.
Step one local.
It's actually just a friendly way to call someone older than you in Thailand (if I'm not wrong hahah)
Like a sister.
Sister Bee.
So she was like a sister to me.
When I went to book the James Bond Island trip alone, kind of talked to her about her life and Thai people in general.
Not going to talk much about our topic, but she mentioned that she really like tourists who can speak Thai.
Even if it's a little bit.
Like she feels that I'm hardworking and smart.
Hardworking from the impression that I'm learning a third language.
Smart just because I wear glasses.
Hahahaa.
Then she told me Thai people believe that people who wear spectacles are smart.
SO I'M SMART.
The thing I liked about that short conversation was how she was so geniuine when talking to me.
She made me feel as if I'm not a tourist there.
An example would probably be like how she was talking to me about her daughter.
Like how her daughter is going to study in the university too.
Then tells me about their lifestyle here.
All this time her daughter was listening also.
LOL a bit awkward.
Her daughter is probably like 16/17.
Yup, so was really appreciative of that.
And next I would talk about a bar named Black Rose Bar.
Hahahaha.
Went there 4/6 nights?
Made friends with the boss.
I enjoyed myself there, I don't know about the rest.
Hahahaha.
Drink with the boss as if I'm part of a shareholder of what HAHA.
But he was kind enough to let me know private stuffs like rent costs, how much the shop earns everyday.
He says that it's not an easy job, but he and her wife enjoys working there.
Generally, I would like to say I've never enjoyed drinking so much before.
Like I don't like to drink when I'm in Singapore.
But it feels a little different at that point of time.
Like really just chill there and talk.
I think probably the language barrier made things more interesting hahaha.
Drink and forget about problems.
Wake up next morning feel like fuck.
I guess this is why I suddenly jio you Chin Yue.
HAHAHA I know you reading this Amen.
Anyway this holiday is ending~
So many thoughts in my mind now.
Reality really hit hard today.
But I guess it's just post overseas feelings.
And also 3 hours of sleep.
Hahahaha.
Backed for 5 hours already.
Suddenly a lot of things going through my mind.
I need to rant it out.
All the usage of phone's technology to settle things and using computer wasting time seeing facebook instagram youtube
Wew.
Been so long since I felt so good after blogging.
Byeeeeeee
Don't need to keep comments in your mind.
Can just whatsapp me.
I'm a click away.
And yup technology again.
FUACK.
