Mood(s) of the Day

Have you ever been beaten by the mozzie on the forehead? Well I have, and just have. It's not just one bite, but two, and right smack in the middle of the forehead. Wonder why the mozzie chose such a position. Besides the two on the forehead, there's another on my cheek, left cheek, right at the position where my left wisdom tooth was extracted. Yes.. Just extracted my left wisdom a few hours ago, hence I am feeling like S*** now. Tried to gei-kiang in the afternoon by deciding to take the oral painkillers only after the anesthesia has completely worn off, but damn.. I was so wrong. The pain set in about 1hr after the whole procedure was done (it was done in a jiffy too.) and I was on the bus home, with my face cringing at the bloody pain. Even now, afterthe painkillers, it still feels horrible. All swollen, hot and 酸, draining all my energy... And I had loads of energy before the extraction... ...

In the morning, I was as happy as a lark. Going all crazy with happiness because: My travel plans are back on track! Haa.. Tiger airways is offering 50% off on their tickets as part of the 1st anniversary celebrations. So decieded - I will be going Thailand again! Haa.. Travelling with my friend, G. Going to fly into bangkok and then cover areas like kanchanaburi (death railway), ayuttha, sukhothai and chiang mai. Chiang mai? Yup, intend to do the foot massage course, and of cos, hopefully, will see Him. Haa. Yaa yaa.. still bit crazy over Him. Nothing serious of cos, just brings a smile to my face everytime I think of Him. Will have 10 days to relax and enjoy the scenery and culture of Thailand.

However, one thing that makes me apprehensive is travelling with G. We aren't like the closest friends. Got to know her in yr 1 uni, but only got to talk to her in yr 4. Now, we are interns together, in the same lab too, so see her like mon - fri, have lunch together and stuff. But we don't exactly click. She's quite the serious sort, I am much more crazy. I can joke ard with the crazy attachment girls, she just laughs at our silliness. She is very 随和, but then we never have much conversation topics. Of course can still chit chat, but never the very engaging kind. Never the kind when you can talk for hours non stop. Now that we are travelling together, I don't want to face occassions where silence makes things awkward. I want to be myself when I travel, and not have to keep wondering if the other person will like the activities or food and stuff. I dun want to be responsible for another, but I guess I can't. Was intending to travel alone, until this morning when she mentioned that she wants to go too. How do you reject such a request? I dun mind her coming seriously, just that at this point in time, I am bit apprehensive. Best friends can become enemies during travelling, what more normal friends? I want an enjoyable trip because it's a break away from work and come back feeling refreshed and recharged. Well, we still have about 5 weeks more before the trip, to plan and spell out each other's needs and interests. Hopefully, with good communication, it will be a brillant trip for both of us.

Thailand: Here I come.. Again!
