Beautiful Days

After working for over a month, life seems to change quite a lot. This new job cannot take me to anywhere near what I like but so far you have to earn for a living before you live your life!

I've made it to a point where now I just got into one of what I'd like to do,

scuba diving!

Not mention how brave I have to be when I've decided to get into just a swimming pool for a class .. unfortunately, I don't like water surface .. and definitely try to ignore that and thinking about being underwater is the goal that I've to reach.

Seriously, it takes me quite a while to just walk into the water (you really walk into the water when you are on the platform) .. and again another breathtaking moment when you have to get back to the surface .. I hate these things!!!

but other than that, you got loads to remember -- good friends, great trips -- these make it the best .. so who cares for tomorrow??

p.s. the down point is you hunger for it! once never enough!!

Bangkok Entertainment



We can enjoy the moment no matter where we are ... could that be true?

I insist life is more than living in your small box and looking through the window waiting for THE DAY! Unfortunately, my life is now stuck in a huge box called 'BANGKOK', but there is always a way out ..

Most like to go for a movie .. that's easy!
Some like hanging out in pubs or bars .. a bit noisy for me!

so that this is my choice ..

a theatre is great .. for some reasons
it's limited to some people who really enjoy it!
a small number of performance makes it worth to go for .. you never known whether it's gonna happen again or not (and most small producers don't do it again!)

Thai theatre isn't very popular among Thais .. we follow modern Western life where theatre charm has lost to HOLLYWOOD!

P.S AGAPE is a work of a group of university students .. I expect to go if I got enough time .. I would love to see how the young could do to surprise the world!

Journey never ends

As it has been three months I have landed on my hometown, everything seems to be a little mass.

My Thailand used to be the best place to live ever but it is not anymore.
Even though how much you love this country, it happens to become the best destination only .. how sad when someone mentions your hometown so ..

My first month is basically staying at home and being frustrated because of being unemployed and having done something stupid. Anyway, I got through it all and at my best .. now I turn myself to be the one I am trying to be (I guess) ..

I fly to Malaysia for the first time spending couple days there only in Kuala Lumpur. There is nothing much to do there. I walk around the city here and there .. wishing my life could be better someway somehow.

I have my second month travelling around to nearby provinces. It is a little surprise that my destinations seem to go towards the eastern side of Thailand. It is possibly so close to Bangkok more than someone could imagine .. that's why ..

My third month is a bit more exciting after planning of going to the north of Thailand for long. I finally made it! And I have been to my dream destination even though it is not exactly what and where I would like to see from this province 'Mae Hong Sorn' ... I am more than happy to be there.

Best of the month is I have met my new friends, who have thought me that friendship could be found anywhere in the world and it would be forever ...

it makes my heart is filled with joy

One week later ...

Back to reality again ..

after only couple days away from work, it is actually still working in a way.
I still got calls from the girls and even a driver.

sometimes when you want to be away from everything, the world just won't let you go that easy

End of JULY 2008

This might be my last couple months in UK

Deciding to travelling in UK is always a good idea especially when you feel like you are not going to be here again.

This time, the journey is about to start in the next seven hours and it is extremely tired but hopefully to be great great fun throughout!

I will start around just before midnight (Sat 26 July 08), my travel is from the bottom of the island, Bournemouth, my town :), driving up to meet P'Tia in Swindon (to say, it is the midlands). Heading to the north, I expect to arrive my first stop about 6-7am in the next morning (that is Sunday). I hardly think I would have ever driven a whole night like this.

That is the plan for now ... can you believe that!?

Well, the good thing is I have got a car and that makes travelling in UK a lot easier! because public transport is so expensive and they can provide you as less as possible! with a limited time for travelling, public transport is the last thing you would think of if you want to travel to a small place and meet the true nature ...

for now, enjoy your dayssssss

Start a new journey

It's unbelievable .. I'm still in Bournemouth and working!

Last plan of going back home was unsuccessful ...
There was nothing more than my heart is playing funny
and life still needs its freedom

Well, now it turns to be another time that heart says
"We'd better get to somewhere for our refreshment"

Things turn upside down while we are here
SO?
Why don't we get our precious time back???

Travelling is more than a dream now

...

It's becoming SO REAL!!!

...

and WE ARE ON THE ROAD SOON>>>>

Get a Go

It seems to be a long long time that my last journey has ended
but now there comes a new one

EDUTRAVEL

if you've ever heard about this word before

the plan is to go to a small area where we can find a beautiful scenery .. and a nice wine!
France seems to be a good choice .. also Italy

but how far can I go ... no one knows ...

Before Flying Home

I finally finished my study ..

Not too long from now .. I'm leaving UK to my hometown

Unfortunately, there's such a lot of things I'm thinking about ..
I wonder if I could find a job that I could earn enough money for my mom
I wonder if I could be away from the busiest city in Thailand
I wonder what it would be if I could be away from there
I wonder ....
I wonder ....

I tend not to concern about the family but it's just impossible
I believe there's no way I could be on my own ...
I don't have my own family now .. but who knows in the future ..

Sun Shines in Brugge



After a well-slept night, I woke up in the morning and found out I was in a small bed in a hostel where I have chosen to be my room for the next few days. I intended to stay in Brugge, Belgium as I am passionated in discovering one place rather than in visiting many places with a shorten in time.

Brugge is full of history..my knowledge is not enough to describe all the best of it but to me it is a small city where the old is still alive! and the new is in ... I would say I enjoy the look of the city..they keep the old buildings there but they still move forward to the future..however I don't like it to be changed..

Brugge was a lovely, sunny city throughout my visit. The people were so kind in a way. One of my concern was they had a business smile for me..only where I had seen a real sincere smile was its post office where a gentlemen served me when I bought some stamps for my postcards.



most of my time in Brugge, I was walking or taking buses around the city visiting from north to south, east to west...sightseeing and sitting under the sun

I noticed so far there was nothing to be authentic apart from the chocolate...Belgium chocolate which I have to say it is SUPER DELICIOUS!
however, I haven't had much both food and chocolate on this trip..I should have more..

Slow the Time...Enjoy the World

It was a long starting from the morning of the mid day of the week...

Sun was so concern to bring out a little of the brightness for a nice walk down the street towards the rail station where the journey began

Almost missing the train bacause of careless checking of the ticket believing I've had another 15 minnutes before the departure..fortunately, I reached the station just about on time.

Sitting on the train was not a bad idea, as usual, I've got more time to think about my life & certainly my holiday. A little writing could waste my perfectly free time. The train was quiet through the journey..sun was playing hide and seek behind the coulds...

Arriving at London was just one third of my whole journey as I had to take Eurostar to Brussels, Belgium and a local train to Brugge where was my first destination.

The journey on Eurostar was such a pain to me, the underexpexted small to fit seat was a big surprise. I wondered how Europeans could fit in those seats.
The next bit was the ChannelTunnel where the train went through to get to France as the first entry before passing through to Belgium. It was about 20 minutes according to the announcement but it seemed to be ages in there.
The first impression after getting out of the Tunnel, the sence of France was confused me. It was similar to England apart from the sun that was brighter and the feeling that was unexplanable. The first sign on a road the train was passing advising with an English word 'STOP'. It kept moving towards Lille where was the first stop in Europe mainland. Now, I hardly waited to see how Belgium is like...
Leaving from Lille, it was not so long to get to Belgium. I was a little tired and nervous from the crowded station so then I failed to have a short tour around Brussels before going to Brugge. I caught the first train out to Brugge.

Finally, I stepped on my destination, the historic city of Europe, it was full of people like in Brussels but it was a big concern for a new comer. I briefly took a bus to a hostel I've booked...and spent the rest of the night in my bed...

TO BE CONTINUED

Get a GO!

Finally, my intention to take a break comes true...

Tomorrow, leaving my lovely town (Bournemouth) to hopefully a nice place to stay
it's kind of another of my journey
after the latest one to ChiangMai (Thailand) about 2 years ago...

but this time...it's just not in my home country nor the country where I'm living...

so that might say this is very interesting to me
of going away to a totally new place and perfectly on my own!

it might not be a good idea
if I tell anyone in Thailand I fly by myself especially my mom

to say, i'm not really on my own for the whole trip...
let me tell...

it's about 10-day trip

first to Brugge, Belgium, where i know no one...
but believing to meet some new good friends in a hostel where i stay
i should use the word 'settle down' for i will be there for about 3-4days

it's quite a long period...
comparing with other travellers who tend to visit as many places as possible

my simple reason of staying this long is...
i would like to be one in the community to see how they spend their lives
and you wouldn't find out from only one-day visit


afterward, i hopefully find a way to Paris
for one night visit in this case...
i hate the city is the final thought of short stay
planning to see the Louvre...and that's it...
maybe a bus tour for some knowledge about this busy city

next morning, i leave Paris to a better place
also, this is my finish line of independent travelling...
meet my friend's family in La Rochelle,
which is a peaceful area from my little research

i love to leave it unknown..so that i can discover
it's more exciting to me...

also this time i'm sure i'm going to enjoy my break...
or to say...i will love it!

p.s. i might not want to come back to work ;P

Where about I am

Such a long time i havnt written down any here

last trip was about what i'm not entirely sure
but i did several to another towns and cities

BIRMINGHAM...is my most often & longest visit over these past few months

i spent about 2 or 3 nights there once when i've visited Pong (my sister)
we've had a good time there even there wasnt much to be done
the first day of the visit,
it was snowing from the first step i've taken out of the house
while Pong was at work somewhere i don't know
i walked down the roads by myself looking around & enjoy the white icy drops

another two days, Pong was taking me around the city
to some points where i've never been to
the city centre wasn't so big
everywhere is about in the same place...real close to each other
maybe i just didn't realise before

some way some how...
Birmingham is nicer than before
it might be because i havn't been here for a while
and this time it was about Christmas and New Year
the city was lively with join
and that's the way i'd love to see

also, where we have been were new to me
as there is no such a place like this in Bournemouth
a huge elegant restaurant..where i wouldn't have chance to be if i'm in Bournemouth
but, Birmingham is an excuse of spending my money

i've learned..travel needs money
and i can't stop spending it when i'm on travelling
i believe this is a basic of all things
money is such a valuable thing..and people hunger for it
while i still enjoy doing what i like to do rather than doing what i'll earn more money

A Short Break to Cardiff

Another time I'm away from Bournemouth...this time my destination is Cardiff...

Taking a train from Bournemouth is just 3-4hours approximately
I woke up in the early morning to find out one of my flatmates was ready to go
while my mom just woke up not too long before I did.
We planned to leave around 6.15 but finally we're late so we took a taxi instead.

The city was nice in its way, not many people like in other cities. I believe this is because it is not a weekend or a holiday. So, the city belongs to the locals...

We've visited MIllenium Stadium...one of the most popular attractions of Cardiff...
walking around trying to find the main entrance...but...where is it?

We moved onto the castle...Cardiff Castle...where I have no idea about its story
the castle is nice in a way..but what is interesting to me is its prison
where someone from a royal family had been jailed...I even cannot remember who he was

the story seems to be interesting to me...

After leaving the castle, I walked around the city with my mom & my friend
having had our lunch near a church in the city centre...
then we walked through a local market...where attracts me the most...
I can feel the life of the locals here

one that I found it is very nice to try...Welsh cake...
I assume it should be eaten with tea or coffee in the morning or afternoon
but I cannot drink both tea or coffee so I had some with drinking water instead!
the taste is nice..very nice..
it is like a normal cake but I don't know how to describe...
it is just nice to try!

the day almost finished...
after a long around the city, we found this is a huge shopping centre
where we should come when it is a sale season!
we dropped by several shops & decided to take a train back to our town

exhausted...

I NEED ...

This is like five or six months passed without any big trip
It's a kind of boring when I have to be here working and studying
the more I'm away from the world, it seems life is not worth to live!

NOTHING TO SAY...

First visit--Birmingham

I've just realised that I haven't finished writing about my trip on January!

Well, continue on Birmingham...

After leaving Leamington Spa, we (my sis & I) took the train to Birmingham where my sis live & study. at first, I thought it was a quiet city because it was Sunday when we arrived...there wasn't many things to do...we spent that night having Pizza Hut (& that was the first time & only once for Pizza Hut in UK) & watching a film 'White Noise' (the first time as well)

that night wasn't so impressed..as I not really like eating out with many people (we went out nearly 10 people I think) and I don't like watching a film!..but that wasn't a big problem for me..I love to experince the new things & there was a great chance to know the night life in a big city...

the following day..Monday..I spent the afternoon in the city..it was crowded by thousands people & most are Indians!...this city is really nice for shopping but it just not suit with me...a girl from a countryside (even I live in the centre of my town)...

anyway, I got only one night in Birmingham..& I think I will revisit again but to somewhere away from the city centre (or shopping centre)

that night I took the train back to my town...expected to reach the town around 10pm but the train was delayed because of the electrical problem (hahaha)...so I reached home around midnight or 1 in the morning!

not a good nor a bad experience!
