I wonder who is still reading this blog O_O Who puts up with my nonsense that is worse than an essay so boring you are already yawning at this point...

But hey, I've just realized I've been blogging since 2006! That would be 4 years... Very nais. Oh well... to the existing readers; thank you for putting up with my boring nonsense and pictureless, single coloured font all these years!

So I've been wanting to blog for the longest time but I realized my life is too stagnant with studying and random slots of TV that I no longer feel like I want to blog anymore. So day by day, dragged on and on; here I am finally ;D Speaking of which, I don't seem to have time to watch drama either x_x

So before you read this post, please remind yourself NOT to ask me questions like why you know you still go, why monsoon you still go, why you never park in higher place, why you drive there, why you this why you that. I am not THAT amazing to predict what will happen. If I did, you wouldn't be even seeing this post.

Anyway, So I went to Thailand for a supposing holiday. Assuming it was the usual Thai you and I both know, I THOUGHT it was going to be hot and sticky and ugh, probably worse than Msia but hey, that 3 days happen to be pleasantly cooling albeit the continuous rain. The supposing happy, enjoyable, fun holiday plummeted to a nightmare when we discovered we couldn't leave Hatyai town due to a flood.

Initially I thought it was just uh, whatever, probably a light flood KL always suffers from. You know that level of water that will spray when your tires roll through? But no... the second time we attempted to leave, we found out that Sadao was flooded waist deep. So we went back, decided to stay a night and prayed that we could leave in the morning when the waters subsided.

The next morning, Hatyai town was flooded. Do you know how despairing it was to watch cars go out of sight? Bit by bit it got covered by muddy water. And then when the water started to subside, it started to rain again. Then the aftermath was worse with rubbish and whatever. Electricity was cut immediately the night the flood came in from Sadao. Water was cut off the next day. Phone batts were dying, MP3 was saved for the worst times in case this lasted.

Food was scarce but thank God there were such good people around cooking for us and offering us food but really, I don't think any city people like us can actually go through that with a sane mind. I've pretty much detached myself but you know now that I'm home and I pondered about it. From a dinner of 8-9 dishes for the first three days, it became two bowls of porridge for three people one whole day.

When the waters in Hatyai subsided, we immediately took a bus and took back whatever we could first since our car was fully submerged underwater for more than a day. I don't know if you can imagine but to be idling around doing nothing but lying on the bed; staring into space; the day literally becomes so much longer than you can ever imagine and take it. I even came up with nonsense games like spinning the bottle and singing. But I guess the most entertaining thing you'll ever get is your amusing neighbours.

So yes, that was my trauma. A lesson I guess? To be grateful for things in life though for now I'm a little lost with myself. I hope I can find myself, my goals and life priorities again because everything feels to temporary with the idea that life is too fragile.

Humans die too easily.
