Just in Bophut

I'm sitting by the deck over looking the pool at my back, beach at my front. With nothing much in thoughts to write.

Most often than not my mind is blank. From the fact that I'm not thinking much.

I spend my days reading tonnes, playing games relentlessly and when due in the evening, I either swim or run my usual distance.

And of course I eat heartily.

Being in Thailand is even better than being at home. Food here has more essence of veg and fruits. Though of course the level of spiciness is competitively comparable. As usual I remind people here two things- less spicy in everything I get into my mouth and as much as I can, zero sugar.

On the sugar bit, trust me, half of the time it gets out of hand because we have indeed lots of communication breakdown.

People in less touristy areas generally speak VERY little English. But it's tolerable, after all, Thais make up with their undying hospitality and humbleness.

Of course as I always say over and again, I can live here forever. So long I have the books and wireless for my games and writing. I'm such a simple human to be happy.

Of course you people will ask if I could live without my car and what nots. Honest answer: give me a nice place to live in Samui with above mentioned, you got a done deal. I'll sell off the car and everything else expensive I own in KL because I really don't need such here.

Ah, people, if you must wonder, I'm a being with needs in accordance to the environment I'm in. If there is no need, there will be no demand of it. Simple.

I can let go in short. Haha.

Anyway it was quite a tragic evening yesterday. I dragged my feet for a run in the evening despite the cloudy skies. And I was even more adventurous eagerly wanting to venture into the unknown of Bophut little town with my size 4.5 feet.

And so I started. With sheer gut feel of the direction I head. I don't even know where I am going. Just run and reminded myself not to forget the way back, that is all.

Then it drizzles at 1.5km.

"Nevermind," I said. "Not that you never run in drizzles, it won't kill you," I reminded myself.

Then the drizzles became heavier, then heavier until it was pouring.

Ah, I forgot, this is Thailand. Not KL. You pray to Buddha here, not THE God I pray to. That is why.

And so I got very soaked. My entire hair then tee got right down to my shoes and socks soaked.

Ok, that was my limit. I cursed. You can wet me however you want but you can't wet MY SHOES. My precious shoes...

I reached the hotel with 2.89k done. Yikes. And so I headed straight to the gym. Lucky. No one is using the threadmill. With the embarrassing soaked style, i crept into the gym for it's towel and wiped myself as dry as I could.

Then I did 3.3k. Awesome. Just awesome. Then 15mins of basic yoga strecthing and I'm feeling awesomely bliss.

And so it rained again this early morning. Leaving still my shoes damp and the hanging bikinis only 3/4 dry.

But then again, it's a lovely day today. I am enjoying my time. I'm not complaining - I mean what is there to complain?

And so I'll update more later... Someone is bugging me for that darn walk of 1 km again to get his grub... Arghhhhh. Laterz...
