Hello!

I’m back! And very badly burnt…again.

Anyway, Krabi is a very nice place to go. The beaches are sandy white and waters crystal clear..and best of all..NO SAND FLIES!!! Hahahha. So the beaches there can go!

Maybe it was CNY or something..but the entire place was swamped with Ang Mohs. Looking around amidst the seas of Caucasian faces and you would be inclined to think that you are on a beach in the Carribean than Krabi, Asia.

Anyway, we stayed at Ao Nang town and spent a 2 days on Phi Phi Island. We did a Sunset Tour which included island hopping and kayaking as well as canoed around the Hong Islands. It was totally fantastic!!

Ah, and then there were the bunches of topless women! More incentive for the men to want to visit Phi Phi I guess. Heh.

Will put up the photos when i get them from mich and th. forgot my camera for the trip.

The whole trip was great, except for the fact that 1 of our party was pissing the hell out of us for the whole trip. The whole company sort of banded together because we were all so annoyed.

This fella is none other than the guy below.
It’s actually quite hard to make everyone unanimously hate/disgusted with you, you know.

The main problem with this fella was that he tells a big bunch of lies just to fit in with the group. Or maybe it’s to appear cool or have us look up to him, i dunno. But anyway, he was telling lie after lie about how he drinks, smokes and travels when every other thing about him just screamed the opposite.

Kinda reminds me of someone else i know, but well, that’s another story.

Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details of what a jackass he was, but on the last day (when we were all so pissed off with him) when he had finished using all his Thai baht, we didn’t offer to lend him any money (because he always tries to not return!) and refused to share any food or water with him during lunch so he had nothing to eat until he reached the airport. We also made him sit alone on the plane home. We were that disgusted.

Moral of the story?
Don’t pretend to be someone you are not. People can see through the lies and will generally think you are an idiot. If you have bad luck, you get stuck on a trip with people who have no qualms exposing you for what you are.

Ok, i am sick, stuck at home, bored and angry. So don’t expect anything even remotely nice in this post.

In fact, you may even wish to skip this altogether, or if you read it, discount it completely if you are a big fan of romantic love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, in light of Vday past, recent happenings and certain blog entries…I think the world is over sentimental and tries too hard for love.

Valentine’s Day.
The only day in the year where men are willing to dish out a hundred bucks for a bunch of half wilted flowers, dress up and bring their dates to a fancy restaurant that serves pre-cooked/microwaved not so fancy food at exorbitant prices.

After all that effort and money, do people even know the origins of Vday ?

Not to burst your bubble, but Valentine’s Day originally began as a holiday for a god who protected shepherds’ flocks from the wolves outside Rome.

It’s through sheer capitalist manipulation, plain stupidity and flock mentality that we spend hundreds of dollars on this day alone for sheep.

I don’t know about you, but personally, i think it’s only worth celebrating something if you know exactly what you’re celebrating. Not just celebrate because everyone else is celebrating it.

Worse, some men buy their women flowers and brings them to dinner just because he has to, not because he wants to. That is so sad. I’d rather just skip the whole shebang altogether.

Least i don’t have to put up with the game of charades.

Strangely, alot of women like charades and have come to expect a great deal from the men on this ridiculous day. I cannot understand it.

Why would you want to turn love into an obligation of flowers, chocolates and dinner?

Does it mean that if he does not spend a few hundred dollars on you that he loves you less? I think not. Sure, it proves that you mean something to him for him to part with that kind of money…but what does it say about you?

Ah well…I guess that’s life.

We spend half the time wondering if we did something right and the other half of it trying to make something wrong work.

Of course im not condemning all romantic gestures on Vday…and yes, it’s nice that people do make the effort to take some time off to celebrate love itself. But please, let it be for the right reasons…

Not some commercialized shit that marketeers want to you believe.
And not certainly because of social norms and obligations.

So what did I do for Vday this year? I bought jp a bottle of wine and he made (or at least tried to make) me black pepper steak and buttered shitake mushrooms. Unfortunately, I was too sick to eat much of his labour of love…took 5 bites of the steak, a handfull of mushrooms and went straight to sleep.

I really appreciated it though. Though maybe pizza next year would be a better plan.

Haha.
