i was walking with a ghost

i love pai
pai made so much sense to me
just to chill out, eat good food and relax
it was time to switch off and reset
hands down, one of the best birthdays ever

so our 5day/4 night stint in northern thailand consisted of:
- great food. every single place we went to eat at, was good food. and cheap. cheap good food. the holiday could have ended there and we would have walked away happy
- me being amazed with the creativity of people there.
- thai massages. oh, if i only could bring one of them back with me, i would be pretty darn happy
- shooting a .45 calibre gun. it was an orgasm between my fingers
- hanging out with the elephants at the elephant camp and the lions at the lion kingdom. it wasnt zoo-like at all, so that made it even better
- 3 hours in a van up to pai that costed us RM15 per person vs RM 160 via plane. it was a faster trip that i thought
- us getting caught in the typhoon that hit myanmar made our experience in pai a rather wet and dark one, with no electricity, but an experience none the less
- straddling a motorbike up to the hot springs and around pai town.
- getting happy in the raggae bar and the dude asking us if we wanted opium :D
- stuffing ourselves with comfort food and baked goods in pai
- really just relaxing and taking it very slow. eating when we wanted to eat, being a tourist to where we saw fit and just switching off and tuning out.
- realising that kl consisted of expensive food and rather rude people
- me wanting to take 2 weeks off to do pai and laos later this year. why not, im sacrificing europe this year. south east asia is rocking my socks.

im turning 24 tomorrow and im not that elated at the prospect of celebrating me
i dont know why
usually im all psycho and happy
but its rather dull, maybe cos ive just got back from an amazing holiday
whatever la, things better look up tomorrow

emosaur and rosebud totally ESPN-ed me
my awesome AUD20 sunglasses broke on me due to some heavy white leg landing on them and broke into 3 pieces
and for some reason, this birthday, i got a rocking pair of glasses from the fam
im telling you, its a thing that only siblings can get

so i'll see you peeps on the 10th of may, at 10.30 pm at twentyone
no dress code. no necessary obligations. lets just hang out
cos i'll consider it a fab birthday with my dearest and nearest with me
