Hey! I'm back. You see, I am not an avid blogger and that is the reason why I rarely keep this blog updated. 

You want to ask about what am I up to these days, yes? Well, just so you know, I've graduated but unfortunately I have yet to be posted to the school as a qualified English teacher. Sad, isn't? By right, I should've started teaching and most probably I am invigilating the SPM exam at the moment. Most importantly, I should've enjoyed my first salary! I can list all the should've-s but that's not the main point here now. 

You might ask, am I working part-time while waiting for my posting? Yes. Used to though. I used to work as a part-time tutor at the nearest tuition center here in KK but I resigned couple of months before. The reason? I was so-called getting myself ready to be posted to school and I needed to give my boss the 1 week notice before leaving the tuition center. Again, like what I've mentioned beforehand, I'm not posted to any school yet. Jobless till this moment of typing this out. 

Anyway, I am just going to wait although the waiting is so 'torturing'. Besides, next week, on the 23rd to be exact, I will go for an important interview - 'Temu Duga Pelantikan ke Jawatan Tetap Pegawai Perkhidmatan Pendidikan Siswazah (PPPS) Gred DG41. Sounds fancy, eh? Being optimistic with the current situation, I think everything will be settled soon; posting is coming on its way. 

So, if you noticed, the title of this post is 'Hello' and next to the word is another word in Thai (characters) which connotes the same meaning. Why do I put the title in such a way? Just to share with you fellow readers, I visited Bangkok recently with my cousins. It was an impromptu plan. I mean, we bought the tickets earlier this year and almost forgot about it. We could've missed our flight if we didn't open the e-mail sent by the airlines company.  Didn't want to waste the tickets, we decided to fly to Bangkok despite the fact that Bangkok is now facing a terrible flood. After so much consideration and research (online), we packed our stuffs and off we went to the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok.

  It was like a 'kamikaze' trip I would say. On the morning we left for Bangkok, we overheard from the radio about the flood situation in Bangkok and all of us looked at each other. One of my cousins said, "Let's do this. Hantam saja la. Sayang bah tu tikit!". We took the first flight of the day en route to Bangkok via Brunei. Yes. The flight stopped for a transit at Brunei and then continued the journey to Bangkok. 

After about 4 and a half hours flight, we touched down at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. It was like a surreal feeling. We were all super excited! We walked out of the aircraft and was greeted by the ground staff. Yes. The first word that all of us heard was the trademark word: 'sa-wa-dee-kha' accompanied by the hand gesture (placing the palms of their hands together as in prayer and raising them to the level of their face whilst bowing slightly). Apparently, the hand gesture is called the 'wai' (pronounced as 'why'). I love the warm, friendly and welcoming ambiance. I can say I felt like a tourist. A real tourist.
