Hi guys, i've decided to start blogging again, ok mostly when i feel like it ;)
Haven't been doing much these days, hanging out with friends, giving tuition, watching season after season of Castle, clearing my room (rubbish accumulated over the years) and basically... bumming.
I'll be damned if i didn't say this gap year was amazing...
Anyway, wanted to briefly share about my Koh Samui trip in Dec 2011.
Doug heard about this famous local food stall along the streets which sells soup noodles. I think in Singapore we would call it bee hoon soup. It has a sour and sweet flavor to it (so delicious), along with nuts, bean sprouts, coriander, shrimp and meat slices. Best bee hoon soup i have EVER TASTED.
Funny thing is it looks like any old food stall on the street... which really proves the saying
"don't judge a book by its cover"
This chick drove her jeep up the slope and parked it like that on purpose.
I have no idea how she got up there.
Alex ridin' a turtle.
I don't know if i mentioned this before but the greatest thing i love about staying in Koh Samui is that we live right on the beach, so about 20 steps away from the water.
And it's so easy to sleep at night with the sounds of the waves.
After a night of heavy duty drinking.
Our hotel (more like a villa resort) has a new year's party every year for the guests.
So naturally it's easy to meet friends from all over the world.
These 2 gorgeous ladies are from Switzerland ooh lala
King and Queen pageant, Erika was dubbed queen.
Lighting up paper lanterns and letting them go. Beautiful tradition.
An hour after midnight, you'll see hundreds of man made stars in the sky.
Okay someone i will not forget, a sweet german lady i met.
She was alone at the bar one night and i just started talking to her,
and i'm so glad i did. She told me the sweetest story ever.
She owns an ice cream shop in Germany with her husband, and on their anniversary,
her husband brought along a large ice cream scooper thing with them. She was wondering why the hell would you bring an ice cream scooper when we're on holiday? But eventually she got her answer!
Apparently her husband brought it to a jewelry maker and had him custom make a mini version of the ice cream scoop so that she can wear it around her neck all the time... So sweet :)
(ok sidenote, i couldn't figure out if i was spelling jewelry right so i googled it,
and omg i got mindfucked by the different ways of spelling it... check it out)

Apart from meeting new friends, we did other things like ride an ATV (all-terrain vehicle)
and my mom almost killed me....
I told her if she wanted to, she could just nicely ask me to pop a pill. That way it'd be easier to die.
