yesterday
no the day before
*
8 something in the morning
waking up to find
a text from a friend
i have not met for ages
*
she texted me 7 something
in the morning
that’s rare wow
asking how am i doing
*
and within 10 sentences
we actually decided that
we should really meet up
*
and ended up planning a trip
together for real!!
*
and yeah
not for the sake of saying!
*
like sometimes
when you tell another person like
we should plan a trip together
*
you actually don’t mean it
or even if you do
the other person who
immediately answered yeah
actually doesn’t mind it too
*
and the trip shall
never ever happen
in years to come
*
by 8:20 AM
i was looking on AirAsia
since she suggested Phuket
*
i actually didn’t mean
to fix the destination as Phuket
but was just randomly looking
with a random date
*
and i must say that
the flight ticket
is kinda tempting
*
i went back to work
waiting for her to
finalize the dates
which coincides with
her firm holidays
*
by 10:30 AM
we had the dates locked down
*
by 10:45 AM
we decided to go to Krabi instead
(1) less commercialized
(2) i.e. cheaper
(3) i have not been there
*
by 11 AM
realizing that she needs to apply leave
missed out that line
thank goodness i scrolled back
looking for her info for booking
so we decided to fly on a Saturday
seriously cheap
for a public holiday cum weekend
*
by 11:15 AM
booked
and we are good to go
*
gosh
i can’t believe it
planning a trip and
booking flight tickets
within 3 hours
just like that
*
it’s just like committing
a shopping crime
and i actually feel guilty
*
but what differs from
shopping is
i may have regretted
buying something i don’t need
or of disappointment to me
*
but i have never and will never
regret over a trip taken
no matter what takes place
*
i feel like destroying this photo
for sure!!
what the hell is wrong
with that red check shirt with
white cargo pants
and orange bag!!!
*
we were neighbours
not even course mates
but somehow we found
a lot of things in common
and ended up spending time
in each other’s room chatting
*
being an anti-socialist
that’s rare for sure!!
*
she knows how i live
and i knows how she does
so i don’t foresee any issue
travelling with her
despite the short planning
and despite not meeting
for at least 7 years
*
at least now
i have two pairs of
upcoming flight tickets
something to look forward to
and less insecurity
*
