And just like that, guilt got into me...

It's funny how I do things that I wouldn't normally do when I'm away. Maybe because I promised my sis I would tweet regularly just to keep her informed bout my safety. I also noticed that I logged in to Facebook more frequently too! And I've uloaded pictures and commented on other's status'. I find my behavior unfathomable. Perhaps it's just human behavior. :)

Listening to my playlist on my iPod while waiting for my flight; I realized how much I missed travelling alone! As I queue at the security checkpoint, I remembered how this was all so natural for me not too long ago. I'm glad I came here. No regrets. In fact, I'm gonna do this at least once a year! :)

Tour guide maybe?

It's my last day here in Ho Chi Minh city and I don't wanna go home!!!

I figured if I did not have my current job, I want to be a tour guide! Not necessarily for my country or hometown, but for a foreign country. It's doable coz I just need to read up and do my research before "presenting" to blur tourists. If anything, I can always google the answer! :p

Life is good as a tour guide. I mean half day of bringing tourists around and the other half for my la dolce far niente. :)

In any case, I did my nails today, and managed to smudge it! :(

I hope that when I leave the country I'll leave my worries behind.

Till then HBO movie marathon! :)

Ca Phe

At the Starbucks equivalent called Trung Nguyen and boy their coffee is strong!!! Their way of steeping coffee is so different!

Nice good coffee. :)

Road ft. me

Crossing roads here is impossible!!! I'm a coward when it comes to crossing roads but I managed to cross a 4 lane road! I want my mummy!!!

Nothing can stop me now! I'm on top of the world. :)

I'll never do it again though.

First day in HCMC and I've done so much shopping!!! Food here is so cheap! Beer is even cheper! For RM4 you get a can of bia. Room is awesome. They weren't kidding when they say cable tv. I have a Sony Bravia TV in front of me and all the channels from HBO to Disney channel. I'm watching tv like how I normally do back at home. I'm going for my second round of dinner. Room service. Hehe.

Missing button

A button from my BlackBerry came off quite some time ago. A few days without the button was miserable. But quickly I learnt to live without that button. I somehow learnt to work around that problem. The button was no doubt an important button. It allows me to punctuate. Without the button, I can still insert punctuatuation into my sentences, just that the process is a little longer and inconvenient.

I guess the same theory applies in life. We learn to live with and without certain things or people. And we will always find the solution, the next best thing. Greed is just part of our human nature.

My solution is the iPhone 4. Touch screen hence no button problems. :)

Fight or flight

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel so helpless and out of control?
A situation where you are running short of time and nothing seems to work?

I'm drowning and I'm panicking. As I sink deeper and deeper, I frantically move my limbs trying to reach to that surface. To breathe again. Just one gasp of air.
Any experienced swimmer would advise to stay calm. Even my common sense would advise the same. And I know that would be the right and best thing to do. But yet I did everything else but staying calm.

Now the clock is ticking and I'm running short of time. Can I stay calm and reach that surface? Or am I fated to drown?

As always, when the tough gets going, I pack up and leave. Can leaving the country for a few days leave my sorrow and worries behind?

It's obvious, I've chosen flight over fight. I'm just scared to fight for it, afraid I'll lose it all.

Roti

My colleague came to office one day with bread from home. As I watched him eat breakfast, I thought of home and how mummy used to prepare bread for me every morning before I leave for school. It's time like this that I envy those who live with their family. Feels nice to be cared for and taken care of.

Been staying on my own for more than five years now and I must admit I do miss home sometimes.
Will somebody take care of me??? I just need bread every morning. :p

To hope or let go?

Hope is such a wonderful thing. Somehow or another we are trained to let go. Either through experience or time. So should I say that we grow wiser in time by letting go?

It's most often than not that we give up so easilly without even trying. As we grow older we give up faster and begin to accept things as it is.

But my heart, my heart it never learns. It never learns the heartache and pain. The bitterness and sorrow. Stay strong heart, both you and I will keep this hope alive.

sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

either way i don't wanna wake up from you
