we reached here by 10:30 AM
it only took us 30 minute
as the traffic was good
and we was taking a van
instead of bus
and there was only one pick-up after us
*
our flight is scheduled at 2:25, though
a few more hours to kill
*
but i don’t mind
it’s better to reach earlier than
rushing really last minute
*
my travel mate is surveying souvenir
although we have decided to
take different paths
as we have totally different paces
*
even in the room
i always hang out at the balcony
as she has to turn off all light
in order for her to sleep
*
i am cool about hanging out outside
but the glass door must be
completely shut in order for the
air-con to be turned on
*
so we were basically
secluded from each other
basically most of the time
*
and we take turns to go out too
because it’s easier that way
she takes her time to shop
i have zero budget for shopping
and i really can’t get used to
how she is being so picky
*
and she was applying something
either the green ointment for
her fall in McDonald’s
aloe vera gel for her sensitive skin or
cocoa butter for her equally dry skin
*
even during outing
she was always with her umbrella
or under the shades
while i was always trying to
get more sun
*
at one point
it was so awkward that
she was trying to talk to
other fellow travelers
yeah basically we are almost like
two strangers who just met
simply because we rode the same van
*
but i have tried to talk things out
neither are good nor bad
it’s just that we are simply different
so there’s no way
we can travel together
not to mention staying
under the same roof
*
and i got frustrated
when i was trying hard to
entertain her but nothing seemed to work
so i got turned off and
choose to go on silence mode
*
but to wrap up
it was overall a good trip
the people are nice
the hotel is good
everything goes on smoothly
so i absolutely have no complaint
*
except being drifted apart
instead of closer with her
well…
kinda expect this to happen
*
it feels kinda childish
unfriending someone at this age
but i am nevertheless alright
*
people come and leave
for a reason
she is never really present
except being a hostel neighbor
for a year way back during pre-U
*
so instead of coming and leaving
this is more of like a crash course on
how you shouldn’t travel
with person you are not completely
acquainted with
*
thank goodness
the hotel was pretty good
or i can’t imagine what
would have happened
*
cheers to the balcony
which provides good view
on top of saving me from
all the awkwardness being
stuck in the room
*
and the weather was pretty good as in
the two day outings were sunny
it rained on the mornings
we were about to start exploring
*
also, before we left
no harm done
*
i might come back again
not sure when though
and i receive some information
about Moomin invasion in Bangkok that
it almost tempted me to go
like seriously
*
oh crap
flight has been delayed to 3:25 PM
and guess what
Google was telling me
way earlier before
i received confirmed info
via email and SMS
*
