First solo overseas trip!

17th - 22nd Jul 2013
An unplanned solo trip to Bangkok!
(The trip to Bangkok was planned, going there alone was due to unforeseen circumstances.)
 

Together with my love, I set off for the Country of SMILES!


I checked into All Season Bangkok Siam Hotel which was recommended by my friend.
Quite a nice hotel, clean & accessible to BTS & shopping district.


Nice & cheap food are among the few things I like about Bangkok.


Went to afew places, Dusit Zoo, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Chatuchak, etc.
 
Overall, it was a nice trip.
As my flight was delayed and yet I reached there much earlier, I had plenty of time at the airport.
So, I settled down at Starbucks and allowed my thoughts to flow...
Don't ask me why, somehow when I held my pen to write my thoughts, only Chinese words came out.
Yes, though Qiqi always said I'm a Cheena man, I always scribble my thoughts in English...
This time, my hand & mind just took over everything.
 

    一个人旅行的意义，你是否思考过？绰号独行侠的我虽然已学会了与其他人共处，但其实还蛮想念一个人的从前。
   
    因为一直掰不开也没太想摆脱孤独的躯壳，时不时我就会抽空陪一陪自己。我是保留自我时间的推崇者，深信每一个人-- 男或女，老或少，在人生的任何一个阶段都必须偶尔独自在一个安静与私人的地方自我思考或放空。这是一件有助于身心健康的事。
   
    曾有几次旅行的经验，都是在家人或朋友的陪同下到外国游玩。这一趟的独自旅行并非预先安排好的。因为两位原本应该一起同行的朋友临时请不到假而我的机票与酒店又老早订好了，就决定展开第一次的独自旅行。
   
    因为我不是自拍高手，唯一的遗憾是美丽风景照里没有我的身影。还有就是美食当前，却无法一一尝尽，一个人的“肚量”(胃口)总是有限。

    那一个人旅行又有什么好处？其实说起来，还真不少，一个人独享一张双人床，爱几点睡几点醒也不会影响任何人。旅程有无计划，随时也能按照自己当下的心情决定与改变。观光，购物，拍照，停歇，一切在自己的掌控中。除了要看老天爷的心情，无需顾虑他人的情绪或喜好。

    也正因为是独自旅行，原本依赖性强的人可能会因此变得更独立，警觉心也会相对提高，何乐而不为？

    人人也常说，“休息是为了走更长远的路。” 旅行可以让一个人身心得到足够的休息好让回国后的你好好冲刺一番。甚至一些出国前理不清的思绪也会变得明确。

    这是我第二次到泰国 -- 一个周围好多朋友都热爱的国家。说到热，我是绝对赞成，可是论爱，我还是对台湾情有独钟。

    语言相同，食物又超合我胃口，再加上那里有我崇拜的女神 -- 田馥甄！叫我如何不迷恋她呢？

    你有一个人出国的经验吗？没有的话，不妨就尝试一次？

In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND! 在一個你甚麼都可以成為的世界裡，選擇善良！

21/05/19 :- In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND! 在一個你甚麼都可以成為的世界裡，選擇善良！ Guys may have strong ego, but we have feelings too. Not all guys are wolves, who are only after your bodies. When we give you our hearts, please treat them with care. You may not want to be the owners, but do not go around breaking them. Many have came to show their care and concern, I'm truly grateful and appreciate your kind words. I am sorry, I couldn't share much on the details. I can only say, I am not ok, but don't worry, I would be fine as time goes by. Whatever that has happened, was just a case of a silly guy misinterpreting all the wrong signals sent. Falling in too fast and too deep. The girl was playing with fire and when she realized the fire was near, the most logical thing to do was to let go and not get her fingers burnt. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, except the guy is left to pick up the broken pieces of his fragile heart which he has given out too so...

Make yourself HAPPY - Mind Your Own Business!

I'm glad to have an off in lieu today. With that, I can spend some time with myself & think of things I should and shouldn't be. What have I been doing? Well, nothing much exactly. Basically nua-ing (lazing around) at home, enjoying the weekday off. Ever since I took over the AP position at work, I don't really have much time to myself. Even though I still switch on the radio & tuning into FM 93.3 at work, most of the contents didn't get into my mind as much as they used to. My mind is too occupied with whatever I have to do & still "watch over" someone else's work; how to absorb what the DJs were sharing on air then? Nah, today's blog entry is not about an irritating pest; just let my OIL continue in peace & happiness b4 I get back to work & be a part time pest buster! Sitting at my home dining table & enjoying my tea at 3.50pm, I heard a meaningful story shared by 1 of my fave DJs, Siau Jiahui on FM 93.3. She has ...

誰為陽光充電？Who recharges the sun?

  在這個世界上，很多事我們習以為常。但如果仔細思考，這些標準到底是誰定下的？ 結束一段感情後，釋懷需要多長時間？面對所愛的離世，消沉多久才算合理？對一個人的思念，應該持續到什麼時候才停止？男孩不能哭、男人要堅強 —— 這些說法真的是對的嗎？傷心的時間真的只跟一段感情的長短有關嗎？ 在這裡，我想對所有我曾經說過 “ 時間會沖淡一切 ” 的人道歉。因為我現在明白，時間並不能沖淡任何事，所有經歷都會在生命裡留下痕跡，它們不會消失。 寫下這篇公開的心情日記，我的目的很簡單 —— 給自己一個宣洩的空間，同時也讓關心我的家人朋友了解我沒說出口的感受。也許你會覺得有些娛樂性，或許有經歷過相似事情的人能找到共鳴與安慰，知道自己不是孤單的。最重要的是，我希望我的天使 —— 那位在天堂的她，能收到我的思念。 2024 年 6 月 8 日，我這一生中最愛的女人，我的初戀，永遠地離開了這個世界。當噩耗傳來，我無法相信這是現實。我知道自己無法一個人面對，所以找了多年的好哥們陪我一起去參加悼念。兄弟，謝謝你臨時改變計劃，推遲了與家人的晚餐，陪著我送她最後一程。 接下來的幾天，我風雨無阻地在下班後趕往悼念現場，只為陪她走完人生最後的路。出殯那天，天空下著傾盆大雨，但這雨怎麼也洗不掉我心中的悲傷。看著棺木被推進火化爐，所有人都崩潰了。 家人和朋友給予了我很多慰問，不時關心我的情況，並說著安慰的話。有人說， “ 時間會沖淡一切。 ” 還有人說， “ 不要難過太久，她不希望看到你這樣，有事隨時找我們。 ” 我知道這些話語都是出於善意，但當下真的很刺耳。我沒力氣去反駁，但我依然感激他們的關心和鼓勵。 這 114 天裡，我過得不好，一點都不好。最難受的是，那種想哭卻哭不出來的悲傷。我依然喜歡工作，見到孩子們我也會感到快樂。和家人、朋友聚會，我也真心享受大家的陪伴。但我更喜歡獨處，因為那時候我可以卸下所有防備，讓自己徹底沉浸在悲傷裡。 自從與初戀結束後，我交過兩位女友，也喜歡過幾位女生。但面對初戀的離世，我終於明白了： “ 這一生，除了你，我的心再也容不下其他人。因為你是我最愛的女人，你讓我經歷了愛情裡的所有喜怒哀樂。這一生，遇見你，愛上你，失去你，悼念你，便已無憾。接下來的日子，我只想用餘生去想念你，愛自己，替你你看無數的白雲纏繞著藍天，直到我們重逢的那一天。 ” 失去你是什麼感覺？我反覆問自己...
