Walk me home.








I wonder how you're doing under the rain,
I'm sure you miss home.
I call out yr name, hoping you'd respond.
You're the first thing that comes across my mind when I come home.
I wish I could hold you tight.
I think about it over and over again.
I still cannot believe what you did.
How I wish I never made that stupid mistake.
I'm sorry, but you'll never know.
As much as I want to look for you,
I don't know where to find.
I believe you want to come home to me,
you just don't know how.
How I wish miracles do happen.
How I dream of seeing you on my coach one day when I come home.
I was just looking for a new home for you the day before you're gone.
I had so much of plans for our future.
I thought we'll be happy together for another 10 years or so.
Come home. Please...
I don't want anything other than you.
I love you.
Please.
My dearest Amos.

I look into the mirror and I see nothing..

It's fun watching the lecturers climb up the stairs,
panting, sweating and gasping for air.




All the lifts in my condo weren't working after class today.
And all the lecturers stay on the 16th, 17th and 18th floor.
I don't know why, but I found it so hilarious to watch them climb all the way up.




As I was sitting in the pool alone just now,
looking up at the sky,
I couldn't help but empathizing with the patient I talked to 2 days back.

He's 73, diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
He thinks he has asthma though.
2 days back i was assigned to clerk him, meaning get his history of illness.
He talked so much, making it so difficult for me to get the relevant informations.
When he talked about his children, he started tearing up.
He mentioned that his daughter works from morning till night, having no time for him at all.
He's alone most of the time, and all he could do is to read the papers.
It made me feel so sad.
Sometimes ppl do not realize that what the old folks really need is attention.

I paid him a visit yesterday.
We talked for an hour.
He was really happy to see me.
Same thing, when he talked about his daughter, he started tearing up again.
He said "My daughter told me to get well soon, so that she could bring me go makan."
"She said the the schitzhu hasn't eaten for 2 days because i'm not home. I need to go home soon so that he will eat again."
He told me so much about what he does.
He always takes the bus alone to Queensbay mall, he eats alone, for an hour or so as he doesn't have any teeth nor dentures.
He enjoys watching movies, and he'll do it alone.
His wife passed away some time ago, children are busy working.
Sometimes he dozes off while watching tv, he fails to wait for the daughter to come home.


I took down his phone number, promised to call him up to talk.
He's a really sweet old man.
Hopefully he gets well soon.





On a lighter note, I'm so glad to be out of OMR (oral medicine and radiology).
Had 3 miserable weeks in that department.
Learnt alot, but suffered much at the same time.
Diagnosis. X-rays. Assignments. Vivas.












It was crazy trying to get everything done.
Had so much of scoldings.
Went through a week of depression.
And finally,
I'm free...
Though..
there's some residual work from OMR.
Will try to get them done in the weekend.
Be happy, for me.
I'm finally free!


Breaking free

Some things decline as time goes by.
Letting go
is an art of maturity.
It's probably safer to listen to your head
rather than your heart.
It takes a strong man
to walk out of his comfort zone.




I finally found myself a weekend to indulge in glorious food and splendid shopping.



HATYAI...




Pondan show

Some men were REALLY pretty, some not so much.
I wonder how their parents would have felt if they watch these guys perform.

 
It costs abt Rm50 per entry, for an hour show.
























She was shaking her fats the whole time...








Costs Rm10 to take pic with them =S












Finger-licking good!


We had SO MUCH of good food in Hatyai.
They were really tasty, probably because the tour guide only brought us to good places, plus he was the one who ordered most of the dishes.
I wouldn't say the food is cheap though.


Supper after pondan show








Sharing a bowl of duck noodle.




Lin chee kang.




Duck noodle.








Tom Yam. Drools.
















More tom yam.




Mango kerabu.




Greem curry.




Squid salad.









And more tam yam...



















Mango sticky rice.

Blue rice?
This is my fav dish. =D




Porridge for breakfast.





Thai dim sum is pathetically tiny.







 




They have pork burger in McD. Gasp.


  






 
















Chicken ham pie. Yummy.




Mc Cafe.




Shark fin. RM 40.




Bird nest with coconut. RM20



 
Bird nest with ginko. RM20




Deep fried worms.

At the lake house. They transport our dishes in a boat.







Floating market. There was so much of food there. Really like that place.
Nice to shop too. =D










Barter system. Money for food.


Temples.

We visited about 3 temples, they were all nice.
Some of us spent like 20mins to pray and put joss sticks on every alter under the searing sun.
Totally turned 10 tones darker.

























































Traditional Thai massage. RM30 for 2 hours.





Lots of camwhoring session.
 
That's pretty much what we did the whole trip.
I thk at a point, the tour guide was pretty frustruated with us.
It was really fun though, experimenting with the angles and settings =)

























 





 















I nearly forgotten the high light of this trip.
"THAI GIRL" show a.k.a "TIGER" show.
We watched that and it was.....
disturbing..
disgusting..
and..
shocking..
RM50 for an hour show.
No pictures are allowed so i'm sorry,
I have none.
That's about it.


 
 Of Food. Fun. and. Goods.


Cheers to good vacation!
