Not the most exciting title for a post, but it'll get by. I'm on my last day of my beach getaway and managed to finally sneak off to a computer. One off my BFFs, Mary Ann, has adamantly refused to let me use a computer, saying that going for a week without touching one is some sort of milestone and testament for me.
It is. A testament of PAIN.
You might call me sad, but there it is. A lot of my life as begun to revolve around the computer. It links me to people I don't normally have time to hang out with - like Brightside, whom, I swear, I'll never tease about boyfriend calls when overseas again now that I'm on the same boat as her. I haven't spoken to him in a while and I do rather miss him; alas, he is not online right now :'( The computer also offers me the chance to be neurotic, as I constantly refresh my examination results page in the vain hope that my results will magically appear.
But I didn't sneak off to a computer to talk about computers. I sneaked down here to talk about Krabi. In particular: Ao Nang Beach - where it is raining. My god, is it raining. It rains like I talk: one long gray spell of meaningless dullness that doesn't seem to end. Well, it's not that bad, really. Just for the past couple of days has it been raining non-stop. It sort of ruined our canoeing trip we had planned today, rendering it dull and depressing. It wasn't so bad, since tomorrow we have a great spa trip planned. I intend to spend $120 on myself - just pampering... because I deserve it.
So far, it has been an incredibly relaxing trip and I'm quite ready to return to Singapore tomorrow, before leaving the day after to go to KL. It just occured to me that I'll not be seeing my family for two whole weeks. I miss my dog. I miss my mom. I miss my Sims3... :'(( *sob* Now it is time to sneak back up to the room before BFF MJ wakes up.
It was a beautiful balmy day today with warm sunshine and sweet scented breeze. The weather called to mind the most beautiful beach in the world - Poda Island, Krabi. I was up to my waist in the cool water, in a sea that was mirror calm and topaz blue, sparkling under the jealous sky like fallen diamonds. I sipped a Long Island Iced Tea, it's bitter sweet taste as calming as the ocean.
I realized then that I wasn't on the beach with a hot guy and cool boze. Instead I was walking to to the bus stop, alone and sipping a $1 iced coffee. I felt like crying.
The only thing keeping Brightside and I going is the prospect of our
vacation to Krabi (again) at the end of the year. And now that we've
finally decided that we're going, I can't stop thinking about it. I was
this close to booking the trip... Perhaps my eagerness to get my name
on a hotel room and plane seat would make the rest of the term that
much more bearable. Nevertheless, by the end of the term, I would have survived the Baptism of Fire - my very own first form class. I would have come out wiser, stronger and, inevitably, older than my years.
