Vietnam

We're been here a week... It has flown by really quick..
In Hanoi we lived in the historical district.. but everywhere you look are women hawking with baskets balancéd on their shoulder and their conical hats..

Halong Bay was breath-taking we slept on a Junk in the bay kayaked and tanned undêr the sun and watched other junks go by... all this in the calm aqua green waters of the bay. All this time surounded by the rock formations that chẩcterise Ha Long Bay...

We just got off a 13 hour train trip on an ovẻrnight sleeper from Hanoi to Hue... It was my first overnight train ride, we slept in a 4 pérson cabin and shared it with 2 new zealanders...

and right now we're in a room that they have upgraded us to with internet!! think we might not leave till lunch... Bumming for a bit...

Tell me where it hurts - MYMP

Why don't you tell me where it hurts now, baby
And I'll do my best to make it better
Yes, I'll do my best to make those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts now, tell me
And I love you with a love so tender
Oh and if you let me stay
I'll love all of the hurt away




Maybe just one day I'll meet you....

Phuket!

Maybe we went at the wrong time of the year...
but whatever they said about phuket as a hub water sports was raabish?!

The waves on Kata beach were 5 metre swells.. so no jet skiing... they didn't even rent surfboards...
however 45 mins out the bays and lagoons were amazing at Phi Phi islands.. Cass can vouch for that..
But I have to admit that the journey to and from the the pier would make you reconsider a revisit...

I loved our stay at the Marriot Phuket!!!

highlights include room service and watching DVD in such a lovely room with crispy sheets..
light night swim in one of the 3 pools on the premises...
they have pet elephants!! yup the resort has their on pet elephants
doing yoga in the morning...
and who can resist buffet breakfast..

The rest of the trip we stayed on Kata Beach at Rico's Bungalow.. a quaint little place..
hmm.. yes i would stay there again...
love to live in out de tropic holiday lifestyle... bikini sunnies on deck chairs by the beach...
swimming despite the rip..$2 beers... the noodle house where we ordered food by pointing..
shopping at the weekend market.. would you believe it.. it had aircon..
watching 5 movies on cable in a row!!!
floating on the pool floats...
live music.. watching crazy ang moh drunks..

I had fun.. but I had to admit.. going on holiday with someone is a whole different ball game...
better get backing for part 2!

What am I to do with you...
with me... with you..
How everything in that moment makes is sense and senseless all at the same time
Its these moment that make me smile
at these times I reel
never know what to make of them
I been getting into a lot of them lately
hold your breath...


-----------------------------------------

I should be packing my bag because I am leaving tomorrow but I havent really been in the mood. Well I will get to it in just a bit.

walking in your direction
though I know you just don't see
smiling with each inflection
I guess it'll never be
I've tried to...


it's been a long time since I've been happy with me...
so.. think I'll smile first fret later...

it hasn't been working out
what's different this time
I plan to stand my ground
I'm still smiling
and the air is much more relaxed
I am enjoying it while it last
there is every reason to smile
and though I do not know what the future holds
smiling is my new philosophy
i am pleasantly surprised
I have had more than suffice
its making me roar with disbelief
i am going to work hard to make everything fall in place
let life take it course...


I shall agree that I am a hard person to live with...

coming clean...

sometimes I do not understand why I hurt myself...
Why after it all I still coming back to the same thing over and over again...
It hurts...

i've looked past you time and time again..
this time are going to face you with piercing eyes
and bawl and writhe in pain
till its ingrained in your little head
that I am never leaving you..

for you I alone i move forward..
it means coming home with my head held high

catching you in a moment of weakness...
not leaving you to fend in a situation like that..

Its about karma... doing good and good will be done onto...



i have wrote about it many times... and each time.. I give my excuses not to follow through.. dear.. you got to be fucked up to not see what you are doing to yourself and what you are letting it do to you. I know it was never like that before.. but people after some time stop caring and are able to treat you like meat... so dont be so fucking naive.. move out.. suck it up and walk away...

getting home at 2am...

Ought to say what was said.. tell it all.. or not at all.. scream!
But this time, I don't feel at all apolegetic... Its all come together
No.. it might be silly but thats just the thing
Oh.. sometimes its about reading what's up front
X ) Dinner with Jun, Andy and their friends was... hmm.. cute..
It ended late.. tired.. exasperated... without a hitch
Over weeks I have argued.. pondered.. discussed.. talked.. spoke..
Up till then, I never understood..
So this has been a big step...
