Never thought that little brother has a better perspective of life than me.
His advice is, do not complained about your work because you won't make it better by doing so. (But at least i feel better emotionally).
His annual leave is more than me now.
He is 25 years old (i was 27years old) and he already traveled to London without having to fork out any money for his transport and accommodation. That kid is truly blessed. And he didn't even have to take any unpaid/ paid leaves for his 16 days trip!
He told me he work round the clock all day. He has his full time job and his part time job to do.
I am happy that he has people with the right and positive mindset around him.

Dreaming Again
Well i have got to start somewhere.
There is only 5 days left till the end of 2014, and i am craving for an adventure.
I know that i have just came back from Bangkok, but it felt more like a babysitting job. I didn't mind traveling with my mom. But i have to worry about a lot of things when traveling with the moms/ aunties/ cousins. I'll give you a few examples, i worried about if they can walk so much, if they would agree to fork out RM200 for a hotel tour package (transportation to Floating market-include motorboat ride, Kwaei River Bridge war Museum, lunch & Tiger Temple) , if any of the Thailand deities would want to communicate with them (yes, this did happened when we travel to Hanoi, Vietnam), worried if they would stray and got separated with the group, worried if they have enough money to enjoy the shopping, worried about finding a kosher restaurant, etc..do you see what i mean..? How can i have my own fun? When i did walked off on my own,after waiting for hours for them to shop just in one shop, i worried about if my mom will have enough money from overspending. And i just sat down on a bench hoping to see any one of them passed by so i can rejoin them. An old lady talked to me in Thai, i just smile and nod. Until she asked me a question, then i told her i'm sorry that i don't understand her. Then she switch to english and we got to talking. I found out that she is a rich lady who owned a resort at South of Thailand, she owned a boat and bungalow on top of a hill. She was with her daughter shopping at Platinum Mall.
Back When i was in Korea.. (yes Korea), a lady also talked to me in Japanese while we were on the elevator. She might be asking me a question because she looked like she's waiting for me to answer. So i said 'Er...Wakarimasen, :), coupled with some hand gestures'... She just smiled and said something else.
Anyway, I think i need to develop a strategy next time we go on a trip together. A strategy that would enable everyone and myself to have fun and enjoy our family trip together.
The highlight of the Bangkok trip was petting and taking pictures with big tigers at the Tiger sanctuary/ Tiger Temple. We were told to change to long pants to go to the tiger temple. The legs will be too tempting/ too juicy for the tigers i guess.
I think it is compulsory to hold the keeper's hand while you are in the tiger enclosure. My guy was cute, so i don't mind. It felt like holding hands with your boyfriend. He will take you where to crouch (which is always behind the sleeping/ resting tiger) and another guy will take your picture. The guy took some really nice photo. It took a really long time for all 6 of us to be done with the pictures. All this while mom, the aunties and cousin Uya (Gloria) were waiting for us at a hut near the entrance.
Our hotel 'Citin Pratunam', has a complimentary Tuk-tuk which we can take to anywhere nearby. We took it to the train station (BTS). We did not have any problem of finding food. It was a night market at Pratunam Market. The only problem we have is buying too much food and can't finished it. So wasteful. Also the hotel only provided 1 :)key card per room. This is troublesome, when one person wanted to stay in and the other one wanted to go out because you need the keycard to go up the elevator. Otherwise, the elevator won't budge.
P/S: No pic attached with this post. Just go to my FB photo album if you haven't already.
