khit teng..
spent the last few days catching up with mum n dad over dinner, unpacking stuff, missing thailand etc. i dun understand how time can pass so fast..it's already friday?? damn.
anywayz, befor
e i forget.. some photos u'll see here of the children with food.. they were making egg sandwiches last sat. yea. so cute.. even the 2-3yrs old were peeling the hardboiled eggs, mashing it, stirring.. awww. 
let's see.. oh yea.. my last 2 days were kind of a havoc. my flight was on monday 11pm supposingly.. n my kind Canadian friends wanted to bring my to phuket town for a night before i return, to shop around.. so we left on sunday, after the annoying guests "played them out".
was a 4plus hour bus ride... we reached phuket town @ bout 6ish evening.
checked into the hotel..... this is the part. the moment i entered the room....OHHHH MYYY GAAAWWDD... well, it wasn like a 5 star hotel thing of course..it was like bout 30bucks Sing per nite..think bcos i was expecting just basic hotel facilities like those budget 2-3 star guest inns i usually stay in...
besides... after a month of a warm dusty room... with a handful of spider webs around.... THAT room was like LUXURY. damn these luxury things.. they shdn even exist.. makes ppl yearn for more.
n the fact that this was THE FIRST time i had a hotel room to myself! wooohooo! =) damn shiok can.
anyway.... we headed out for dinner.. window shopped a little..planning to shop the next day.
u haf no idea how amused i was with the room. just me n the room. the KING sized bed. well, yea, i watched TV...movies in thai with eng subt... the entire nite.. with the company of lots of chips.
guess wat. cdn sleep thruout the nite.. started to feel feverish.. had migraines.. by the time i hit morning. i was half a piece. cdn even walk straight. ended up stayin in bed while my friends went shopping. how shitified...
oh well. luckily i got a little better in the afternoon. did a little shopping @ Tesco..din buy much though.
then...drama in the evening.
planned to take the public airport bus frm the phuket terminal. when i reached.. was told by a taxi driver tat the last bus left @ 630pm. i was like wth? i was only 10 mins late. sheesh. he insisted taxi was the only means.. which meant his taxi.
ended up having to fork out 450baht (bout 20 Sing) for tat ride. sigh. but he was a nice guy. we ended up chatting.. in thai n eng =) i miss speaking thai.
as if tat wasn enough.. when i was juz about to get tru the customs.. the guy handling my passport declared tat i had overstayed. n i had to pay a fine of 500baht. again. i was really like wtf?
apparently, the "visa" was only valid till 30th sept. but my flight was 1st oct. so.. 500 baht PER DAY. sheesh. thank god i only overstayed 1 day. i din even thought of it.
it's kinda fishy though, bcos all the fine had to be paid in baht, cash n no visa allowed. i wonder where all the HUGE AMOUNT of money go to, cos lotsa "farangs" kenna too.
anyhow.. had to find bank ..get cash n pay them. sianz. lucky flight back was smooth. more trouble i wd haf decided to stay in thailand forever. heh. i wish.
hmm.. my brains are still working in the thai mode.. words are coming out in thai rather than english or madarin for tat matter.
n for h. sake's .. i need to have a plan. everyone's asking me what 's my plan now. what i m going to do. what 's lying ahead. urgh. i hate myself here.
i can't help think,tat i know ppl back there are more concerned bout others in different areas.
shitified.
metta... miss them.
