2 Nights On the Road...

On Monday, me and Chester put a night in Aaron's house after hanging out in the Breeze Cafe in Ipoh. It was a tiring day cos i travelled twice to Ipoh on that day itself. First was to do something in the bank and visit Rtn. Arthur before the trip. And the second one was to meet Aaron so he can bring us to his house.

Of course, as a Rotaractor under the advise of Rtn. Arthur, we will have our usual yum cha session. After the yum cha, we are all tired d. We were home at about 2am. Aaron's mum was not sleeping yet. She's a very nice host. She made sure Aaron taught us how to use the hot shower and asked him to prepare drinks for us if we wan. Anyway, 3 of us had some heart-to-heart talk that night...

OK... get back to the main topic. Which is 2 nights on the road. Our journey actually started since tuesday morning at 8am. We were rushing to the bus station as Chester was the last one bathing and we didnt know it takes so long. hahaha...

Luckily, we were in the bus station on time and the bus was late. The bus only started the journey at about 8:30am instead of the 8am bus ticket we bought one day before. The ride was like a roller coaster.... typically. We were almost vomitting at the back of the bus. and despite the fact that we only slept like 2 hours, we cant sleep at all. The funniest part is that we keep looking at each other and smile. Probably is the excitement in us keeping us alive from the bus ride.

we arrive Butterworth at bout 10:30am and Kong was already there... Waited for a while till lunch time. We went to the so called megamall in Butterworth, PACIFIC... had MdDonalds there as our lunch. And when we arrive back at the train station, Shea Teng and Kee Hui is already there. Just a litttle while later, Kul, Q Hua, and Bismo joined us.

We took some pictures in the train station. Too bad it's not with us now. Din plan to come to Cyber at first.. hehe. We board the train at about 3pm. the train was suppose to arrive at 2:30pm.. Ok... this is the Asian culture i guess... Initially in the train, we didnt know wat to do. So some of us started playing cards, some pak toh pak toh there, some sitting there doing nothing. then there come a time when we started doing the bookmarks we planned to do for the kids. Everyone got involved in the making of the bookmarks. It was really cool to see all of us working for the same purpose and i guess everyone was doing it without having any complains. The train journey was a nice experience.

We arrived at Bangkok at bout 12pm Malaysian time which is 11am Thailand time. At first, we thought that we would be received by the rotaractors in Thailand. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, they couldn't received us on that day. So we went to the mor Chit Bus station to get tickets to Chiang Rai, which is the main venue for our Trip this time. We have to wait for more than 6 hours for the first bus to Chiang Rai. So we had our lunch at the bus station and did the things we wanted... one thing very funny is that ... all of us went to wash our hair in this small saloon in the market. ALL OF US... WASH HAIR IN A SMALL SALOON...

Of course, we went separately cos we have to take care of the luggages. While taking care of the luggages, we played card games again. and there goes our time. At about 6pm, because that day was the King's birthday, the national TV was playing the national Anthem, to our suprise, all activities stopped and everyone stand up to respect the national anthem.

At 6:45pm Thailand time, we started our journey from Bangkok to Chiang Rai... The experience in the bus was amazing. U just feel that all you've paid for it is all worth it. This is the second night we spend our night on the road.... We arrived in Chiang Rai at 7am on Thursday....
