BACK FROM THAILAND.

Yes, finally I am back from Thailand, with almost a thousand pictures taken during the trip. This trip is really really really SUPER AWESOME!!!! And i definitely not regretting this and definitely going for another backpack trip around Asia again. How i wish i can typed out all the events that happened during the trip, but i guess i won't be doing so. Because it really really VERY LONG!!! But no matter what, everything it's deep inside my heart and mind. Experience is always our dear teacher, ain't it? :)

When I left for Thailand, Thailand is still experiencing Red-Shirt protesters against Yellow-Shirt government. Though they were still in peace talk, demanding for an exact details of the early election from the government, tension were still in the midst among every Singaporeans who wanna go to Thailand, Bangkok. Even my parents especially my mum is uber concerned about me going there, persuading me not to go. Even had a small fight with her days before i fly off to Thailand. Nevertheless, I still trust in God that He is with me, trusting that He have the power to set everything nicely and well for me, I went ahead of my plans to Thailand, setting off for my first ever backpack with Darrius, Aizhen & Jialing; 2 guys, 2 girls.

The temperature there is definitely hotter than Singapore, and the sun blazing over us is also too strong for us to take it. We can't even last more than a day to get sunburned when we tried to explore Chiang Mai when we reached. Stayed at Chiang Mai for 2days 1 night, before proceeding on to Chiang Rai, which we stayed for about 6days 5night, and back to Chiang Mai to take a mini-van to Pai for a 3days 2nights relaxation. Lastly back to Chiang Mai again, to visit Liberty Kids Thai Orphanage.

All these are just simplified version of the trip. I will describe about the trip the next entry. :) Because the trip is really really really super funny, tiring, sweet and chilled! Scenery are gorgeous and too nice to resist it. Mountains are so natural. The sky is so clear that stars are surrounding it. People are kind, though there are a bit of language barrier. BUT STILL! everything are just too awesome. Way too awesome.

Made a lot of thoughts over there and I began to realize another part of me. Of course, it belong to me only. Thinkings that could allowed me to expand myself, enlarge myself, increase my capacity. Little things that i wanna do for my life, for my family, for God.

Trip to orphanage is great too. Met up with Orphanage Thai's Pastor, Pastors from Philippines, people from America. It's like United Nation over there. Haha. Learnt a few things from the Philippines' Pastors. Indeed, God is good all the times, and all the times God is good. Thankful to God for this trip.

This week really is an experiencing & adrenaline week. First time ever seen such a market since i started out. Most of the time, the market would be just following the waves, counting waves would be easy and simple. But this week is full of fundamental. Fundamentals that brings the Euro up and down, fluctuating every hour, every minutes. And mind you, these fluctuation is not just normal 30-40points that your heart is able to tahan. These are what i call - the amplification of waves fluctuation. (AWF)

AWFs bring up to 3-4 hundreds points within split seconds. They made your eyes really started rolling up and down, pumping a thousands gallons of blood in and out of your heart. Causing insomnia, distractions, all sort of negativity emotional thoughts came rushing to your brain. Stress level went up, might even caused your regular period to go haywire. But nevertheless, for a small little trader like me, it just burned maybe about 5-6 hundreds USD, due to AWF. But still these 5-6 hundreds buy me experiences that you might just see maybe once a year or twice a year?

I really gotta admit, I am addicted. Really really addicted to the thrill that you get from this game. Addicted to the stress that causes you to unable to focus on your studies, game, what-so-ever you are doing. And slowly, slowly it is eating up your whole concentration. Your mind began thinking about every now and then. Just like love-at-first-sight. Yes, it's that kind of attraction it have.

So basically this week is the best week of the year. And i hereby nominating it as the best week of the year for now. Maybe my trip to Thailand might get another nomination, but for now, this is da BEST!

Oh yeah, just to share what might caused these awesome week.

1. Dow Jones Industrial had great free fall from 2.41pm - 2.45pm, about 1k points way down.

Reason? Rumour to be caused by a citibank trader that causes the whole market to plunge down.

2. Greece is really causing alot of problem huh.

3. European Central Bank is not doing anything to boost traders confidence.

4. Now britain is having an awesome election. Apparently it seems like current leading government are on par with the opponent (The Conservatives).

5. USD is going up, due to news given that more jobs created this month than previous month.

Actually there are more, but it looks like some conspiracy thingy to me. But anyway thats not the main. The main is Euro is crashing down, and tonight they are preparing some back-up plan for the bailed-out Greece. Hopefully all turn out well. If not, i gotta experience up and down for 1 more day.

YUP, 1 more day to Thailand! WEEE.
