Yes I know I know, it's been near a month since my last entry. It always happens, the same old cycle. I get excited over all these online diaries and I hurry go create a new blog for myself. Initially, I'll write like every day, and it soon becomes a daily routine for me but it's always for just a while. I get lazy soon, and update my online diary like once or twice a week? Or maybe I ran out of thoughts, or could it be maybe my life's not interesting enough to write everyday? Whatever it is, I always try to make this online diary survive.

About my holidays this december. I think I did enjoy my holidays, not? I hitted bangkok again, for 5D4N trip. It started off well and nice, but ended off like crap I swear. All thanks to the major strike at the bangkok airport. Yes, I was one of those stranded tourists you saw reported on news but I wasn't at the airport, luckily enough. It was still as bad because my daddy wanted me back home. My return flight was on thursday night and the riot had to start on tuesday night! So the airport closed and soon followed all the major commotions everywhere on news, on phones. I swear I've never felt this panic before. My dearest brotherly figure, Mr Eric, was trying all menas to find a way to get me out of bangkok! I could have stayed there longer to wait but luckily I didn't, because one, I had to be back home in time for my next trip, 4D3N cruise with the family on Sunday morning. Two, bangkok airport only re-opened after one whole week, imagine being stucked in bangkok for one more week .... Of shopping! Eh, why not right?

No flights, all fully booked. Train too. So I hitched a bus ride back home, and it was such a 'wonderful' experience. Enough to make me swear off long bus rides. 10 hours from bangkok to hatyai, 4 hours rest in between and then 14 hours from hatyai to singapore. A total of 24 hours busride instead of the 2hours flight. Now, I'll never complain about taking 2hours flight in a budget airline! It didn't help that both the buses were like crap. I expected the bus to be better from hatyai back to singapore but we were 'lucky' enough to have gotten the last two available seats. The person over at the counter claimed that we were lucky, last two seats got more leg space but it was all nonsense. The last two seats were major torture; seats can't be put all the way back because there's this small space behind us for the drivers to sleep in and we were nicely placed right beside the super-oh-so-very-f*ing-smelly toilet. No big business, but small business was bad enough! Damn! Yeah, so long i'm back in singapore safely right? Yeah, right.

Instead of returning home on thursday night, I got back on saturday morning. Rested for a night and next morning off to the cruise. Cruise wasn't enjoyable at all, as expected because I've never liked going on a cruise. Stopover at penang and phuket, and did I mention the food on board sucks? Yeah, it was Superstar Virgo and the food still sucks. Period.

Only good thing, nice view!

All in all, I was away from home and my precious jingle for 9D8N. What a long long holiday this year!
