Alone for 7 days

Hi, thanks for visiting leng at this little space... Did you hear a nice song? > 'Let's start from here' from Joanna Wong, a Taiwanese. Thanks zaizai for introducing her to me >o<


I was in Thailand for the last 7 days of February... got a training about Good Farming Practices (GAP). This time, I went with a colleague from another office, Mr Wang (58), what a combination.... like a father and a daugther... hahaha :p This is a 5 days course, at a training centre located in Kanchanaburi province, 2 hours drive from Bangkok. I've 2 nights in Bangkok and 5 days at the very 'peaceful' training center. Have visited chartuchat again on the 1st day, fieldtrips to asparagus, kangkong and lemon grass farms, lunch at the Bridge on the River Kwai (桂河桥, 死亡铁路), visit to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, the pagoda, lots of Thai food and some shopping.

The Pagoda

Fieldtrip - me embeded in aspagarus

This is just a 5 days course, and I extended 1 day stay in Bangkok on Friday, to have some walk and meet with my friend in Bangkok, Mr @ek :p. We walk from Asia Hotel to MBK (Ma Boon Kong?), to Siam Discovery, to Paragon, and then come back to Siam Discovery and to MBK and to Asia Hotel again (?@!#$%">?@!#$%!!) we are just looking for a Japanese restaurant without queqe! Thanks @ek for familiarize myself with these 4 destinations... got no problem to walk alone around there on the next Sat morning.


Mr @ek with me, finally... have Ramen for our dinner :p


In fact, this is the 1st time for me to stay in a hotel room with 2 beds alone. fine for me at the training centre domitory... but for hotels in Bangkok, alone in the spacious and a bit 'old' room... really feel a bit uneasy. That was when I realized, I never stay in hotel room alone before, and I never experience a taste of being alone, just yourself, to think of how to spend the night, what to do in the next morning. I wrote a diary (in Chinese) at the hotel when alone:

一个人在酒店里,一个人在曼谷。有一种孤独感,这还是头一着。我,无论在新加坡还是在马来西亚,还是喜欢很理所当然的置身在人群中。原来每一次回家log in MSN,是由原因的。即使没有聊天,看到一些人挂在线上,有形的无形的,感觉有人在身边。现在想想如果5月可以去Netherlands上一个为期4
weeks的课,独自一人,还真的有点不想去。或许那些做sales常常出国的朋友都习惯了吧?我能吗?

啊,不行,不可以有这种消极的想法 。就像@ek所讲的 - "go for the future!"
我也是,应该向未来走去,一直往后看,不小心会跌到... 可以的,加油!
