we. ek end.

and so i'm back already from my weekend bangkok trip. 4 days and its never enough anyway. always new things to discover, new experiences to be had and new friends to be made.

in a parallel alternate universe i wish i could be thai. hey, what's not to like about them? they are friendly, have an unique language of their own, have royalty, protests, a proper surface area for a country, great shopping, fantastic curries, cheap beer and alcohol in general, cute girls, exotic islands, and the list goes on.

สวัสดี!

was amazed though to find out that so many things had happened over the weekend as well, mrs lee kuan yew's death notwithstanding. oh well at least she's finally free from her locked-in state since 2008. i remember reading le sépulcre et le papillon, and i was both amazed by the author's determination to live on yet sad that he had to carry on with his life in his physical body prison for 2 years. my brother also was briefly locked-in during his illness, and i remember him tearing almost everyday from the frustration of being unable to move.

what would you do if you were locked-in? i think i would not even last a weekend because without movement, life would have lost all meaning for me.
