Its a holi holiday

A holiday every 2 months is good for the soul. As much as I can take as much leave as I want, I don't like the frown you get from the boss when applying leave and the dagger-stares from my team mates because they have to take over my work. But hey, what am I supposed to do with the balance of 34 days leave this year? Sit on it and bring it over to next year to have 60 days? So what I am going to do now is go kiasu at Air Asia and book to somewhere, anywhere. The least is I should go back to Kuching to visit my dear daddy who is prep for a surgery end of the year.

I can always do the tourist thing in Kuching, never had a problem doing that. What with only 3 friends that I have there, I am as good as going to Namibia for a break. I miss my dad and the stillness of Kuching. It makes me feel a bit better that there is a beach nearby too. The family has moved to a new house which is nearer to town and civilization. Not so new house actually since we got it back from the past tenant after so long.

I will be leaving for Thailand tomorrow night and this time doing the real backpacker deal. I am bringing minimal cash (and credit cards, just incase). I am getting old with age and with that I should be over the traveling like a gypsy-fantasy. But as long as I don’t do it, it will bug me forever. There was a chance to go on a lone trip to Perhentian sometime last year and I did not go. I so regret it till today. Lately, i am getting more particular on comfortable airport transfers and what pillows they give in the hotel.

My haversack is ready. I actually started packing over the weekend. This time around I have a small first aid bag complete with seasick med, aspirin, flu med, nail clipper etc. Like a mini pharmacy. I was not thinking much of packing the possibilities for me but also for the bf. I don’t know why I am suddenly such a worry wart and should not baby him so much. Sheesh…

I am heading this trip to Thailand, or at least it is what is expected from me. Usually I am the non-contributing trip member when I go with the usual gang. Tomorrow is a different crowd. Initially it was a plan of 4 people going, but to this second there will be nearly 30 people of friends and acquaintance going. 10 on the same journey, so yeah I pray that there won’t be 10 different decisions on which place to eat and 10 people needing to pee at 10 different time. What I am trying to say here is, many heads will hold up the journey. I am not going to play mama, I will run it like Amazing Race.

I am not looking forward to a reunion with a long lost friend who at one time we were pretty tight. I can’t even go to another country without having to hang with the same crowd that I am tired of seeing here. Karma.

These fingers won’t miss being attached to this keyboard and also the eyes are going to have the much needed rest. All I want to see is green and blue. Speaking of green, my mom suggested we paint the walls green so I will have better eye sight. I just didn’t know what to say.

Till next week, honeys.

Yes I am alive!

If anything that swallowed me down and took away my blogging time is WORK. Damn you. Just because you pay for the clothing on my back, the splurge on clothes and the roof over my head, I succumb to staying late everyday and stop swimming because when I get home all I can do is crawl to bed. I take swinging my arms when talking to the stubborn clients as some form of exercise.

........................................

Ok I lied, I am not THAT busy. Work is crazy most of the time but I have time for things like Brothers & Sisters.

Brothers & Sisters is the new Grey’s. Donut says Watch it.

I have got a new ride, temporarily called the Blue Hot Wheels because it is hot to me while it smells like that smell you get of a new car. Slowly it is starting to smell more like the shoes I put in it. For now, BHW has not got a name to it like its predecessor, JJ aka Jeremy Jonet. I am waiting for a wave of name that feels like it, suggestions so far came with names such as Wa Qulum Dick in conjunction with the WQDxxx plate number to something cool like Wheels of Queen Donut.

Apart from this, the months of silence have brought me to Bangkok and attending 2 close friend’s weddings. Congratulations dudes! The rest of unworthy happenings are left not to be mentioned here.
