<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">when i think of kl sentral, i think 'lost'. hundreds of strangers wandering, just as lost as i am, trying to figure out where they are heading to next.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">with only rm400 in my wallet, and only another rmxxx to last me till payday, i shivered at the idea of having to convert all of the cash to thai baht.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"would like to convert 400 ringgit to thai baht please.."</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the indian man at the counter showed me the receipt. he was telling me that to get 4,000THB, i must pay RM414 instead. being somewhat a rusty traveler, my mind just failed to capture what he meant. not until he repeated <i> 'you need to add on another rm14'</i> for the third time that i finally got what was the big deal. feeling stupid, is an understatement. not wanting to embarrass myself any further, i quickly paid the extra and before he lifted up his head, i was already gone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i met the rest at mcd and soon after, we head off to lcct via the transit bus.<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>total spending to date = rm218.50</b> <b>(rm206 flight ticket+rm2 lrt ticket to klsentral+rm2.50 mcd hasbrown+rm8 ticket to lcct).</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">it took us only about an hour to get to lcct. as we head nearer to lcct, my mind slowly decaying with horrible thoughts of me getting into the same bus again and head back to sentral, only this time, i'll be alone.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">***</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">there were at least 3 main passport check points that we had to go through. the first was at the luggage check in. to calm my nerves, i excused myself from the flock to be with saemporna. the only thing that always ease the load.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">as i approached the luggage check in counter, my head was fighting hard. one is imagining me in that stupid bus heading home alone. and the other image was the rest and i, just playing under the sun at krabi. i forced the latter image to remain.</span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>'this is it'</i></span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">if there is one thing you must know about me is that i took risks. all my life, i've always done things that most don't even think of. i'm not saying i'm better (or maybe i am), but without taking chances, i won't even come out from the house. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">if you don't know it yet, i'm a full figured woman (<i>gemuk</i>). that alone is enough to prison myself at home. but guess what i did - i took the chance. everyday is a challenge.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span>i take chances everytime i wear that stylish outfit or speak my mind because here (in our country especially), you'll never know how people are going to react. and trust me, i've</span> got the worst reaction before. passing tables in restaurants and hearing people giggled behind me. those judgmental stares and revolting name calling. you name it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">risk, it works in the weirdest way. it is that point where your head and heart fighting each other to make a decision. in your head, it lists down all the pros and cons. but in your heart, it'll always choose the path that usually is against all odds. its tough. but trust me, if you brave it'll be so worth it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">nowadays, people don't call me names anymore. in fact i received more compliments than i ever had. i thanked them all sincerely. i'm humbled by these wishes said by people who understands the novelty of beauty, while others still search for beauty in all the wrong places.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">my krabi trip involved a major risk. well, i won't die if i didn't go really. but i could have troubled my friends and ended up loosing them. and that's worse than dying.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">but i took the risk anyway. because i'm nuts and edge is my middle name!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">it took the three of us - juls, k.lee and i - just 10 minutes to kl sentral from damai lrt, where we met the rest of the flock of fabulous people - aaron, sara, shasha. zac wasn't there since, unlike us, he traveled via <i>mas </i>airlines. <i>mas </i>doesn't travel direct to krabi, so zac had to transit at bangkok.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>for juls, zac, k.lee, sara, aar & sha</i></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>who surpassed every man made rules about how to live </i></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>and stay grounded to the concept of having fun.</i></span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>day 1 (a.m)</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>september 25, 2010</strong></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i><b>'how my guts knocked over the contemplative thinking'</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the day before this date, i said to myself <i>"there's no way you can go with that amount of cash in your bank account."</i> and not to mention the whole ptptn scare of barring its debt defaulters from going abroad, should they failed to do repayment. i was scared.and even more than that, i was actually terrified by this whole trip.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i couldn't sleep that night. the idea of it all scared me so much, that i had to snooze at 10:00pm but ended waking up at the earliest dawn of 3:00am.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>"fuck this shit. am not goin!".</i> then the other worry slips into my head - how the heck should i tell this to the rest without them feeling like cursing to nose?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">so i did what every man and woman like me does when they're in dipshit. lit up that wonder stick and puff it all out. 2 minutes later, i saw that light. at the end of the tunnel, ya know?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>"fuck this fucking shit, am goin! it is now, or never maurice!"</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">you see, only a smoker would understand how smoking can do wonders. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">so there i was. staying up till 8 am. took out all my clothes and lay it all on the floors and bed. and i had a good stare for like another hour. it was only at 9am that i really started packing. and juls was going to pick me up at 10:30am.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">i didn't take my bath that morning.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
