The Before & After of Canada

LCCT, Malaysia

have you ever experience that feeling?

being deeply inspired with profound thoughts?

when you are departing to an entire foreign land?

the moment you exit that gate to board the plane,

the sky was just opening its eyes and smiling at you,

saving its most beautiful grace to bless your trip,

that was what i feel and i can touch the sky if i want to

and words were pouring into my head,

i wish i could record the words cos i felt like Socrates

Manila NAIA Terminal 2, Philippines,

sitting in the washroom cubicle,

after a whirldwind ride from Clark Manila,

to relief myself before the longest flight ever,

this caught my eyes and i read it twice,

putting another big smile on my face,

despite the worry and the unknown in front of me,

to live every second and minute of it,

have you ever wonder how precise these words are?

even when you're peeing when ur bladder is abt to explode,

it is true example of HAPPINESS in the most simple form.

this is me COMING BACK from CANADA

Vancouver International Airport, Canada

i was really thirsty and i have not a single cent left!

i was with a friend from Vancouver, Alex,

he was drinking this 'hard to pronounce' name bottled water,

and he bought me one cos i was too thirsty,

i was this close to use my credit card to buy water,

if its not for him, i would have to make that silly move,

the first drop of water surging down the throat,

i felt relief, alive, awaken and aware that life is too short,

you gotta do what you gotta do.

Pasay Bus Terminal, Philippines

I was the only one in this huge bus to Clark Manila,

I have more than enough pesos to buy another bottled water.

i bought one extra for a lady who doesnt have change,

we started talking and she was heading to Macau,

i shared my experience with her, realizing,

how little i know of this world,

if she had said Australia or Japan,

i wouldnt know how to advice her,

it humbles a person when you dont know everything

i dunno why, but when i came home,

i took a picture of my first grocery shopping

i did the moment i arrive in Malaysia.

it just seems, AUSPICIOUS. you know, grand.

to be able to pay money without worrying about

the currency exchange. it was only RM120,

compared to the CN80 (RM240) for grocery in Canada.
