I see, I saw, I've seen

I'm back from my not-quite-relaxing "sight-seeing" trip! haha. Yes! That's how I'd summarize it. hmm, so where should I start?

Airline was such a disappointment. Even though it's a low cost airline, I don't think consumers should need to deal with workers' attitude. If you don't like your job, do something about it. There goes a check mark for Malaysia's tourism and customer service. I'm starting to miss friendly strangers back at Hawaii.

More chaos? Bangkok was a no-go, so we had to buy another ticket to Singapore 48 hours before departure. Lucky we received credit back for the Bangkok tickets after much confusion and trouble. Meaning, more planning to do!

Hmm... Let's see. so I got to meet up with my buddy, sam, strolled through the night market, and tried "smelly tofu" for the first time. Squeezed in a single bed, shivered in cold water shower, and indulged in sam-cooked noodles. As for Singapore, Universal Studios was our best reward.

Anyhow, although it wasn't an incredibly fun trip, I felt like I've seen and learned a lot. Can't get into the details, but I guess I received a lot of warning lights pertaining to life. Pit in front, do not proceed; car crash ahead, please turn left; or traffic light damaged, keep to your right. hah, yes that's about it. I now have a clearer vision of what I should do and what I want to do.

I'M MOTIVATED :)
