The sea does not reward
those who are too anxious,
too greedy, or too impatient.
One should lie empty, open,
choiceless as a beach,
waiting for a gift from the sea.

hohohohoho.... finally i am home!!! really i Missed home. With memories still fresh on my head, let me report to you on my holiday.
25th March, Saturday
It had been 6 years since I last went by to my mother's house. The rest of the time my family went to other places in thailand. Initially, excitement fills in my bloood in wanting to go to my mother's village. Now having grown up, I know where my mother's village is, and my mother's house exact location: 11-12 Buang Muang, Nong Han, Udon Thani. Aeroplane took off and landed in Bangkok before we board another domestic flight to Udon Thani. On handing on Udon Thani, there is a contingent of ppl welcoming us. Shocked man... the villagers hor really do stunts leh... u know wat they did an0t? you sure will nt guess it one lor... they put a garland of flowers onto my head... wah seh macchiam Thaksin man...LOL. Then hor, seeing all of them, I also dunn0 who is who, you know village life is not as simple as you all think it is lor... it is very very very complicated. I will touch on this matter later on. After that, took a car that is *Bao* to my house. Den Nua @ there.
26th March, Sunday

WTF. my mother the liar, own son also want to bluff, say other day will go back and shop other places. Ok.. Went to a shopping center call BIG C in udon thani. It is a rather big shopping center. This day nothing much to report. As usual, villagers like to go out in a contingent. We took 10 wheelers to the shopping center.

Nua@ home from morning to afternoon. Did nothing but stare @ the coconut tree in front of myhouse, i even took picture of that coconut tree , u see this is how bored i got! I dun dare to go out on my own, because I now suddenly lost my conversation power. I couldn't communicate anymore. Thais seem like an alien language to me liao... I only noe how to communicate in shopping language. LoL. Den somemore all the signs is writen in Thais, how to read, go out sure got lost one. So bo bian stay at home and see coconut tree. Den in the evening, wah... a village gal riding a motorcycle caught my eye.. she's quite pretty and keep on riding up and down the road doing delivery.. den i also keep on seeing and seeing la...nothing rest better to do wat. Night Fall, and my mother threw a gala@ home... do stunts, house so small... open 5 tables.. den very noisy lor... i also dunn0 how to Kara-ok in their language.
