Never thought I would have to seek refuge here once more..
for the past 2 weeks. things has not been really smooth.thoughts have not been going straight. actions are not normal. kept verbalizing what has been troubling me thinking that it will make myself seem stupid to be brought down by such things but it's not working. i seem to be spiraling down even deeper.
maybe i was too comfortable with things that has been going on for the pass 3 years. maybe it was the people around which i know would carry me when i fall and this new posting made me realised that i am on my own now. i thought i could embrace this madness or ride on it but only to be swallowed by it. things are different now with more things at stake. giving up now is so different from giving up 5yrs ago. damn. there's no such thing as giving up it was the 5yrs ago me.
bad things does not come alone but in multiples. thought it was the stress but reflecting the stuff i do. what stress? everything seem manageable. maybe it is just me. fooling myself that i can keep up with the expectations or maybe i was disillusioned thinking that i can do it. all the deadlines are just so daunting. or maybe.. my mojo's not working anymore

Shangrila's real good to me. Just when i felt the shittiest due to ams and almost pack up and leave, she showed her real beauty。 the whole town covered in snow and clouds covering part of the mountains. And of ourse. The people
One whom i thought was a flirt was actually a great guy. Mic has been working for 6mths and then travels till his money runs out. He has been doing this for 24yrs and been to 61 countries already. It was nice rushing woth hom for bus and train frpm shangrila to kunming. The stories are definitely storybook worthy. Trans-siberia, living in the mongolia plains for a month and being stuck for a week due to visa.
FREDRIKA! 24yo Swedish who hopes to travel the world with her bicycle! And she's at the 9mth already! From Sweden to China

"The danger about travelling is that nothing amazed you anymore. You've seen 100 temples and so your expectation of the next one is greater; it's unlike some 19yo kid who first travel. We are more of seeking an experience instead of monuments"

First night in shangrila.
Alleys have no light, got lost in multiple alleys. Luckily i was slower in one of them coz someone just poured water out from a door
Saw a lot of ppl dancing at the square.
Helped the local kids retrieved a shuttlecock.
A photog pitied me and lent me his tripod.
All within 1hr

Solo travellers are just like ships without anchor. Some just flow with current while others steer towards their destination.
We are mere interested in making acquaintance instead of forging "life long" friendships.
Met so many interesting characters during this trip. Oh gawd. I MISSED THIS FEELING!
There's Yuki. Her virgin solo trip. Not sure if she's a poshpacker or someone who is ultra bad at planning (to think that she's a financial planner lol)
- she did not know that she needs to check in 2hrs before flight. Missed her flight and she had to get a new ticket.
- her hostel closed when she arrived n the cab took her to another place
- which she didn't recognise the following day and had to seek help (her keycard has no address)
-she took a 3d2n tour which would somehow eat into her departure flight.
-thankfully she managed to change to 2d1n and had to buy a connecting flight
Sounds like me right?
And then there's Mr Kim (I don't know his name but he's south korean n works for foreign affairs). He hired a guide but the guide does not know english nor korean and Mr Kim doesn't know chinese. So I act as their translator. Mr Kim's a cool guy; shook hands with Putin, saw Bush and several other presidents.
There's also Kevin. Canadian who speaks wicked chinese. He is majoring in chinese medicine in Canada and is here for exchange. Crazy fella who lug his backpack everywhere. EVERYWHERE! HIKING TOO! WTF. but I cheated his feelings. Both of us arrived at shangrila from same location. He didn't have a hostel so i intro-ed him mine... but it's full.. Sorry Kevin XS
Not to mention 2brats. Well not really brats but I'm just jealous of them. They did the same 3d2n trek as me but they were bouncing up and down at the check points. Heard from Kevin that the dad have been bringing them for treks since august. And they did ebc =_=

this thing has come to an end. but i can't help wondering how many cans of worms are left unopened.
sometimes when i look at how things turn out or how my relatives are describing one an another, i can't help but think if such shit will happen to be. is it in our genes or 'destiny' of this shitty surname that we all walk down this same path?
this is indeed a worrying thing.
let's just hope that this shit ends here. can't wait for 2018

all along i wanted to believe that you're a hero. all the things you've told us was reverse psychology. I wanted to believe that you're the underdog, you're hiding a stash that you'll pass to us when we've grown up.
maybe I've been readingn too much storys, or i actually wanted to believe in fairytales.
but i guesa i was just foolish. you're nothing but a loser.

This event have just proved that history is for the victors. Would the media coverage be the same if he's in the opposition? Wouls the media even sensationalize it? what is so diffeeent between him and the rest? He's a politician, that's his job, he's paid to do it. All I can applaud is that he did it for his passion. He chose to walk this path and continued with it.
The greater disgust was seeing people posting their thoughts all over social. fuck you guys. as if you people truely understand what he have done. he shaped the place to his ideas. someone would have done it if they're in his position. stop the exaggerating posts of 'without him, we won't be here' do you guys really believe that we will remain a fucking fishing village or some third world country?
And then there is the organisation or the 'senior management'. have you people treated our predecessor the same way? why the exception? do we need a festival for him? Even people like Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa didn't receive such treatment.
All I can say is.. the guy is gone, give him the respect and move on; just like how you guys have treated others.
