At my guest house, at my left and right site there are neighbours from canada... and i saw a few local people was staying with them too... they always make noise but i did not bother about it... as they saw me going to my room, the local boy say hello to me... and reply with smile and say hello to them too... and again they prefer to speak thai with me... so i just say, i dont speak thai and they show me a weired face... so i told them im from malaysia, so this guy this noded his head, so i just leave them with their canadian friends.

In that everning, i am not going anywhere, coz i feel sick from drinking a lots of sea water (as almost drownning for the 1st snorkeling) So i just sit at the stairs with my water, and a pack of cigarrate with me and i had my journal book on my hips.... i love to write about anything that crossed my head, then one of the local guy turn up from that canadian room, he was sitting on the balcony and try to talk with me... yes we did talk about where im from, im here with whom and such... then he came and sit next to me (he did ask a permission to do so, very nice of him) then we had coversation, we talk about a lots of thing including the sound of ants at night, he even can hear the sound of wave from the back of the mountain which is 20mins away (walk), we had fun in our conversation, we smile we laugh and we seems like an old friends and talk about life, journey and such.... then he start to talk Tsunami.

Then we sit again at the stairs where we sat earlier, and we continue to talk, he said, before this, he have a lots of friends, but now, his friends can be count, and that canadian guys are friends of him since a few years back, that what he have, and other 3 of his local friends. I was asking him where he was when the wave came, then he said, he was on the boat on that time, he can't run anywhere, so he just look at it and pray, he depent on his faith for what will come to him soon.. then i said, you are lucky because you save from the big wave.. then he just silent and i can see he look so sad.. then he said, im not lucky.. i don't feel lucky.. then i understand what he meant.. we always try to break a subject just to wash away the sadness that he felt... because i can feel it too.

Sometimes me and "Beck" have talk about music, he have ask me about what type of music that i like, well.. i always love dance and house music and that when i go for clubing, for relaxing or i often listen is metal, alternative, pop and hip hop.. that is my favourite, and his favourite is alternative and house.

He have one favourite songs, but he never know what it means but he likes the songs that much... he let me listen to his favourite songs, it also my favourite songs... its from 3 doors down, here without you... he tells me what his understand from the songs... but his understand wrong from it, so i explain to him what it means... then he became silent and look sharp at one point and he just silent, it is related to the one he love and the one that he think of most of the time. To what i had in mind, he might think that he like the songs because its related to what he have been throught.
