before i leave...

I will be leaving later today for Senai airport and Bangkok =) one problem with travelling alone is that you can't rely on other people to bring things or share things.. and i do have a history of forgetting to bring/buy important things like handphone charger and insurance (as LH can attest: she's probably used to getting frantic calls from me from the airport about this), among others. Incidentally I almost forgot about insurance this time too. And LH's not around. BUT i just realised that I can get it online =) If my bro had let me use the computer earlier (and yesterday too!) it would have spared me a lot of worry.. grr..

Still wondering if it's neccessary to bring one more presentable set of clothes in the unlikely case I'll want to dine in a nicer restuarant or go clubbing or something. Otherwise I've packed fairly lightly. The usual 48l backpack I carry is far too big so I'll just be using a BIG schoolbag sized imitation Northface backpack with my nike slingbag as a daypack. By the end of the trip the paper(toilet, packet tissues, wets, and photocopied guidebks) will prob be gone, leaving just enough space for shopping and gifts in Bangkok. *grin* I've got it all planned...

Had my Thai language crash course from et(she suggested this herself! the other one will be known as ET =P) today. Needless to say I was a less than perfect student. I'm not too keen on learning, since i just know I'll never remember most of it. In fact, over dinner with lw, I was asked what are the thai numbers and i err.. totally forgot... sorry, et....

oh, ET shall not be joining me at any point on the trip after all. And i might cut down on the number of places i go to, and just see everything else at a more relaxed pace. We'll see...

Thailand, here i come!
