blowing in the wind.

Well well. I'm finally back from the land of smiles. tired, tanned and glad that its finally over.

Thailand, has a warm smile. real warm. 36 celcius warm smile. And there i was complaining how terrible the singaporean heat was. But now, the singaporean climate feels like some artic tundra for me. Its a wonder how anything survive under the temperature of thailand. And still grow to humungous sizes. I saw, for the first time in my life, insects the size of my hand, insects i thought only existed in dreams and picture books, things drawn out by some artist. But yeah, thailand has them all, praying mantises, scorpions, centimetres long milli-pedes. and centipedes that are just as long. Its a zoologists' heaven over there man.

and a gastronomes. I believe that the chefs of thailand are able to cook anything you present to them and able to name to them. Food there's awesome. and cheap. and random. Ordered different funky combinations of fried rice and side dishes and wanton noodles everyday from the canteen and somehow it all tastes good.

And the stars were awesome. maybe not as good as those in new zealand, but nonetheless impressive. and captivating.

and speeding down the road on the back of a truck moving at speeds it is not supposed to is fantastically fun. With the wind in your face and mp3 blasting in your ears and great scenery around you. the feeling is great. Its like having free botox or something. haha. tightens your skin.

and its this wind, and those stars, and the clouds that reminded me of a song.

It asked, how many times must a man lift his head. before he can see the sky.

I believe i found the answer. to that and a dozen more questions in that song.

Was thinking about writing a post today about that and in fact i have already written one in the pages of my notebook. but decided against it after wrting down the whole thing. For after all, we all know the answer of the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything is 42.

but what's the question?

The answer my friend.
Is blowing in the wind.

=)

till next time.
