Yuhu ~

Ok lah.. the least I can do is to wish those who have dropped by and who are reading this.. a Merry X'mas.

If you're feeling the festive spirit.. that is good. If not, don't drown yourselves in utter despair. At least save a little smile somewhere in the corner just in case you'll need to flash it out.

Would like to read all your blogs.. and drop a comment or three.. and do a little bit of other stuffs on my own blog.. but.. connection's not too good.

CSI.. anyone a fan of that series? Think I'll pass for now.

I'll head off to my needed horizontal activity pretty soon.

Ta!

Somewhere...

I will find...

my peace of mind...

my source of contentment.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

On the recent Saturday, went out with cousin and later met up with some other friends at.. you can see where in the photos. Ahh.. it's been awhile.. if only I could go as far as my eyes can take me.. hmm.

A carefree spirit like the two little ones...

would be a perfect treat for me.

I'm not missing so much of the place now. Good cause I've got a lot of that going on in the past, present, and you know what's the third. Packing saga II - didn't need to blog much about that. Just that I wish it didn't spoil my last moments there.

I'm at home now. But why don't I feel home?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Today was all good. Caught a movie. I'm feeling the addiction of it ;)

Not so much to say this time.


Home.

A Typical StopOver

I'm back here at the same place. Only at a different spot.

...

Now, and for quite a period of time..

I'm..

back to all the heat and humid.

back to a land where I don't want to be at yet. Almost.

Home.. touching down at quarter to five.

No delays, please.

I know I'm always the slow and late one.

But, please, not the flight.

I'd rather arrive there on time than wait, sit, and sulk.

Packing Saga I

This is bad.

I got these whole load of things to bring back and I can't get my mind straight. The sight of it twirls me up with a little madness.

What was I thinking? Bringing the whole of Thailand back to Sabah, Malaysia??

Lorena dear.. you have got to be kidding me.

How am I gonna pack in my stuffs that I had left behind when I left this place about 1 1/2 year ago?

Silly you (as in me me). I am cursing myself now.

Fabric, leather (unauthentic perhaps), liquid. Of papers and all that kimchi (meant to replace "and all that jazz"). Fragility. Perfection.

This should never be the reason to spoil a week-long getaway.. packing sessions that gets to your nerves.

You know - or maybe you don't - all that trying to fit in the little stuffs here and there into or in between the other stuffs? Hectic. Mind torturing to even let it pass your thoughts.

I shall resume with all the effort after posting this up.



*tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk*

The Start Of A New Week

What can I say? I'm not the slightest bit bored with my stay here. Not yet.

Sigh.

Anyway.. but not exactly anyway.. lemme spill snippets of the day's events.

Earlier today, met up with two friends at BKK. It was nice to have come over to their place which I had been eager to see even before I flew over here. Had breakfast together which was all good. Thanks Amy and Roy for inviting us over ;)

Later in the afternoon, met with another friend who came up from behind me with her first words, "Don't touch that!"

Ha!

And so there was the buying of this + that and these + those, and the occasional, "Get or not?". Got special discounts thanks to Shimona ;)

The company was great.

I guess you can tell what I'm feeling at the moment.


I'm doing my countdown of days - or more so - hours to go before.....

=(

A Morning Like This

I woke up this morning and took a quick look at the time display thinking it was the actual time over here.

I forgot that I didn't reset the time on my hp.

I got out of bed, anyway, only to fully realize later that I was an hour early.

No.

I didn't get back to bed.

Well.. let's cut the intro and shift to these below.

Up we go.

[walk, walk, walk.]

Then to the right.

To the left, to the left.

And right.. here.

I already know that I'll miss today.

This Saturday morning.

Hmm.. the rest of today.

A Splattering That ~

the day before yesterday...

on one fine sunny morning + afternoon...

with a little dab of the chill breeze...

lightly playing with the senses of the skin...

these happenings came to picture...

An empty front porch...

To an entrance with double 'peace signs'. Yeah.. live on! If you can trace out a clear view of it.. good.


After a good 15-minute ride (or so) at a steady 60km/hr, we arrived at our destination. Here looking away at the road way, sits Julie and Ivonne.


And first to come to the table, my craved-for-beverage, Cha Yen (Cold Thai Tea). Over-sweetened but ahh!.. who cares. It's not served the same way back home. Attack and Savor!


Let's not miss out on that bowl serving of green noodles + beef. Would have preferred though if the meat was a little more cooked. Main tahan only lah.


My Thai meal combo. Aroi na!


Chili paste. I can't exactly define the taste of it. Tolerable to the taste buds.


Helloo to the Som Tum.




Proof of my highest appreciation to the Cha Yen. Yes, with the ice-cubes too =P

I'll force you to see more pictures. Dot.

I love this time around of the year over here.. yes, for these.


Once the rightful owner ;)


Ya lah.. ok, it's me. I shy away from the camera, ok. Ahh.. those pretty trios.


Thanks Dee for taking the pics =)


Later at the sunflower field...


Aha! Another bee buzzing by. See not only me likes them sunflowers. These little fellas like it too =P

Now time to get all the more acquainted with the flowers.





Shine and smile as bright as the flowers. Tings!


Ha! I need to steal some photos from her. Don't worry, I will do all the proper acknowledging.


If the sunflower had that crown of glory like humans, I can imagine its hair gloriously blowing away against the wind.. heh.


And of course, my dears, we still need this to get back. What.. you expect us to fly all the way back?

More happenings came about at the later part of the day. Ahh.. too lazy to post up the rest of the photos. By the way, you still up to more of them photos?

I don't think so.

Knock knock!

And so, yesterday evening, we went over to Ms. Julie's place.

Here goes random snapshots of what went on.....

Let's punch that all in! Hai...yah!!!

"I played a part here in the kitchen!"

Ahh.. kitchen essentials.. them spices!! Ha. But not this evening.

The rolling pin.. excellent tool for rolling out human meat. Nah! Just kidding na (italicized meant to be Thai accentuated).

Now the rolling pin serves its purpose better on this piece of dough ;)


"Have yourselves a Merry little Christmas.. la la la.. la la"


Multi-purpose lights!


Cute little home decos for this season!

Yes and me.. finally settling down to the comforts of the couch ;)

Had a good chat, a little bit of 'house touring', did some 'kitchen works', more good chat, took a ride through one of those classic moments of reminiscing and the like.....

and of course, catching the chillness of the weather ;)

HelloNess!!

Bye Celcom for now! And welcome to that red smile!

Damn. I'm happy. And I don't want this to end so soon.

No. Not just yet.


If time could be bought.. if it could stretch a little longer.. just a little more than that 24.. I would buy it.. if I could.


But I can't.

Awake

Yup.. eyes still wide open.. by force of course.

Should really be retiring for the day. I mean, heck, it was one eventful day. I meant.. yesterday. Guess I'm still deliriously trapped in the previous day's events.

Sleep. Stop with the blogging. Just go to sleep.

Go.

Think I should do just that. Sleep.

Might extend this entry later.. in a few hours from now.. after being so sleep deprived.

Now, go already, ok.

continuation...

Good morning to me! It's a special morning greeting for me ;)

I've decided to extend this entry.

Do take note that I did not just wake up. Already took my shower, ate my breakfast, listened to some tunes (and still), chatted with two good friends (I just like mentioning 'good friends', don't I?), and I obviously, have been online.

I'm loving today. From the moment I woke up. I wish I can say that to myself more often.

All is good for now.

And, Shimona.. yes, ok.. I've finally succumbed. After 1 year plus, I've finally decided to join "MukaBuku". If you want to know what I meant by that in English, look up "Muka" and "Buku" (go online malay-english dictionary lah).



I will not be addicted to it. Full stop.
