Been thinking about my adventures in Thailand, even now, as I sit by my window, staring at the darkness amidst the rain and wild wind. <\/p>\n

I’m back in Malaysia, its been quite hectic, especially post-Ramadan, seeing relatives and catching old friends. Its been a while but I feel somewhat distant from them.<\/p>\n

My foot is temporarily disabled, a swollen and tormented toe courtesy of gout and my unstoppable habits of consuming red meat. The recovery, for the past two nights, have been tough. <\/p>\n

I’m partially eager to remove myself from my bed and plunge into another adventure. <\/p>\n

Such confidence, wish I had it in me now. My toe, it needs rest, a swift one if I may be so bold to declare. That means I’m still confined in this room.<\/p>\n

In my boredom, I looked through my stash of photos. Found a few that brought about lingering memories of a laid-back province in south Thailand. Pleasant memories of friendship, travel, food and coffee. <\/p>\n

Yes, I was well aware that the province had more than a dose of social problems, violence and poverty. But it gave me what I had sought then, an escape from Bangkok and to meet a largely-forgotten population in Narathiwat.<\/p>\n

*sigh*<\/p>\n

My right foot tapped impatiently. Yes, I know, I’m in need of another adventure. Fast.<\/p>\n
