**pandemic 2020**

when i looked back this post, if i survived this pandemic, i think i will give myself a pad on my shoulder complementing myself for being so strong and became a survivor... however i find this pandemic not only being cruel but also an enlightenment to our other earth... i know i am not the most eco friendly person i cant live without air-condition nor without a car, although i hate to drive, if i could have a public commute right next to my house, which doesn't require a lot of walking, imma walk there COVID 19 - Corona Virus outbreak has been for almost 3 months took away thousands of life having to know that Government from around the world aint that honest, there could be way more souls perished than we have already know... seeing people quarantined at home, this given a chance to our planet a breathing space...the biggest differences is the air pollution in China and river in Venice is now clear and calmed. Having to say, wildlife is rewilding once more. Having human ou...

goodbye at the tip of my lips... woke up naturally without alarm beep next to me... i manage to catch the 8 in the morning sun... opened the curtain and mesmerizing the view before my eyes... sunshine reflection on the river water... so peaceful and calm...  i cant help but awing in so much disbelief... after taking a series of selfies... i went to wash up and head out for my breakfast... and i must say... it is really the most chillex morning for a very long time... a think of nothing morning... greeted by beautiful sunshine and wonderful scenery of the river... greeted morning by Maii... i walked around feeling the peacefulness of the space while waiting for my breakfast... felt so hard to say goodbye to this space while i sat by the river... stretching every single second just so i can record as much as i can in my head, so i can reminisce every frame in my head... finally time has come, Bethany said she does not want to say goodbye because that is something very hea...

the finale of this post has dragged on for almost forever... because i dont want to forget it... by reliving it in my mind, doing so I would be able to remember forever... because that was the best trip I have ever had countless magical moment and magical encounter... those blessing are just seamlessly beautiful... Back to my trip... that evening that i spent in the cabin, had green curry chicken spaghetti where its utterly petite costed rm20... i must say it is a little overprice despite this is a train meal etc. the night was rainy, and somehow i felt that the night seems a to come rather early... i remember clearly how i was sitting and looking out to the view... where everything moved towards the opposite direction...背道而驰,相反的 I woke up to the beautiful morning in Bangkok, sipping coffee, packing up my things, and walk out of the sweet cabin with handful luggage and bags and a heavy ass back pack... tried to get myself a grab at the train station... came to my surprise, no ...

it was a 3 days 2 nights stay in Chiang Mai... because I have yet to explore all the place there, therefore i will be back for more of that magical place... on the first night in ChiangMai, I've dated my bunch for a dinner night out at a famous restaurant in Chiang Mai and it was exquisite... beautiful scenery in the garden, stuffing seafood and down it with ice cold beer and follow by a bunch of gossip and catch up...  (I'm blogging this part of my memory in exactly after months )  haha talk about nostalgic.. after dinner we went for a massage however, they massage parlor outside my stay are sadly full house, therefore they have no choice but to walk back their stay and stop by any potential place to indulge some good Thai Massage to ease that sore muscle... second day, we went to numerous sight and done few nice activity such as gun shooting, ATP riding, visit to Tiger Zoo and non the less temple(s) to explore. Talk about once a life time experience. That Chiang Mai is t...

Chiang Mai, a place that I've been hearing ever since. Finally, I set foot into this land that I have heard so much about. After a 14 hours train ride, greeted by the beautiful sunrise. For the first time after a long time, I can finally feel myself again. Despite people walking up and down the aisle, I greeted the couple morning and next thing you know. Captain came of the cabin came and make the bed for us and put the seats back together. Bought a coffee and sipping it. Not the best coffee but definitely enough for me to last for a while before hitting the hotel. Slowly the train arrived at the station, seeing the name Chiang Mai on the signboard at the railway station. I have arrived at my destination. After saying goodbye, I walked out of the station and hopped on a red tuk tuk head off to my hotel. This is a very peaceful place because it is so quiet on a Monday morning. No traffic and not to mention quite as well. I've chosen to stay in this hotel named Arch 39, recom...

**Thailand Retreat - Part 2 **

Chiang Mai is the second place that I have visited during my Thailand retreat... I've learned that there is a train going up to Chiang Mai, having friends that will be traveling there as well, they gave me a purpose to be there... hence it opens me up to try the train... and the experience was amazing... for this train ride I choose 2 different types of seating for my round trip... shared cabin on the way up and private cube when coming back down to Bangkok... I was lucky enough that I ACTUALLY have all the space to myself for both ways... and this is freakishly amazing... I bought my ticket through 123go Asia, and the experience was pleasant... I did not do much of reading for the attached T&C because it should be about the same... and a day before my trip to Chiang Mai... I decided to visit this bar + dining place located in Chinatown called WallFlower. They split into 2 different shops. One is a bar & dining comes with a live band, whereby the other one is a cafe and...

im celebrating my birthday month (May) with a solo trip to Thailand for 9 days... despite im not really alone due to the fact that i have friends here (locally) and from KL were here attend to me whenever a friend whom accompany me from KL via Whatsapp till today i truly am appreciative to what God have placed for me along this trip knowing and believing that everything happens for a reason... so far everything does fall into places for me... maybe not to what i had imagine but definitely close enough to play the best part of my 2019 i've checked in and checked out Salil Hotel and sitting here at the mezzanine floor of this hundred over year old Hua Lamphong train station, overseeing the crowd downstairs from different country and region of Thailand... this 100 years old train station still bumping like a just born baby being the biggest transition point for the country it carries so many people with different story and background to the same point... so they can disembar...
