inertia

its really hard to start once you stop. i have half a mind to quit school and travel around the world or just rot at home. now that im well rested, i really dont want to continue the hectic school life for another year. i guess thats why mom decided to give up writing her thesis and forgo her degree after being at home for so long. its inertia

along the line of inertia. when u are going down a rollercoaster and you feel your heart jumping out of your mouth, is that inertia? your heart wants to stay on top but your body speeds downwards giving the sensation of a jumping heart.


im going to get a huge shock when school reopens.

to Yod if you are reading this

my tt opponent from thailand, Yod, called this morning. ms cindy low insisted that nobody would call since international calls are expensive. hah, guess shes wrong this time.

he called at around 11 am when i was still sleeping and asked what i was doing. too embarassed to tell him he just woke me up, i told him i was doing "nothing much". muahahah

we didnt have much to say and the call was filled with awkward silences. he asked me how i was twice though.

anyway, i thought that it was fun speaking to him and it was nice of him to call. =D

i like having international friends!

muacks

I feel so pampered. Mummy bought a dvd player for our room so that she could help marj and I record the rainbow connection tv series so that we wouldn’t miss 5 episodes while we were in Thailand. It costs $800 and has a hard disk drive which can record up to 233 hours. We didn’t feel that sorry when marj’s friend couldn’t help us record the show and I really didn’t expect her to go to that extent just so that we wouldn’t miss a tv serial.

On the car today mummy also asked me at 4pm whether I was hungry, she never really bothered about my eccentric eating habits, like feeling hungry at 1am and looking for food in the house.

She also apologized for not changing my bed spread when I was in Thailand and hurried to do so when I came home.

Furthermore she apologized for not being able to differentiate between marj’s and my clothes when she had to put them back into the respective drawers after bringing them in and folding them. Personally I thought that she should have delegated the task to marj and I especially after we dumped 5 days worth of dirty clothes each to her after our return.

Perhaps she missed me too much during the brief trip. =D

back from thailand

did you miss me?


marj and i bought back a crazy amount of stuff

23 shirts, 2 pairs of ballet flats, 2 pair of slippers, a huge elephant cushion, 3 handbags, 1 long pants, a frog musical instrument and many other miscellaneous stuff.

we went for a traditional thai massage which cost $8 for an hour. i thought it was super cheap.

the table tennis girls were really a bunch of shopaholics, we queued up outside MBK waiting for the shops to open. the thais have a superstition that they have to sell something to their first customer. so the price could be pushed down really low.

i bought a belt which originally cost 299baht for 200 baht because i threatened to leave. thats around $4 lower.

the thai shop keepers are mostly very friendly, until you decide not to buy an item. they would show you a really pissed off face and ignore you.

i found the thai language really whinny, the thais like to drag whatever they are saying. like sawatikaaaaaa.

the table tennis competition wasnt really much of a challenge, we won almost everything because the students there really wasnt that strong. the younger students however were really good for their age. i guess table tennis as a sport is just begnning to warm up in thailand.

marj and i made namecards prior to the trip with our email address and a thai girl just emailed me. =D
