bangkok bangkok bangkok

Everything at work seems to remind me of Thailand...

Did a booking for a trip to Bangkok today, which is very common anyways... found myself browsing through the fare lists for promo fares to Bangkok... and every morning, I find myself checking the schedule for flights to Bangkok, wishing i was on that very plane to that wonderful city there and then...

And today, it hit me even harder when 2 Thai girls (i think) took the same lift as me when i was returning to the office after lunch...

I MISS BANGKOK!

Argh... sometimes i think i'm born in the wrong era... i think i'm more suited to the life of easy living, a time when we were not so dependent on computers and technology... why can't we book flights like in the old times? Take down the names and particulars for the passenger and flight on a piece of paper, call the airline and book the tickets... simple as that... but no, everyone wants everything done faster and in a more complicated manner, with systems so mind-boggling i'm still trying to figure out how to use them after 2 weeks at work...

I find myself day-dreaming, or rather, thinking about my future and what i wanna do with it while i'm at work... dun misunderstand, i'm not trying to loaf, but rather, i have nothing to do when the phone doesn't ring... and when pple dun trust me with their bookings... but i understand... if i were them, i wldn't let me book the tickets for me and answer queries... i've put so many pple on hold while i scurry around looking for someone to answer the queries... and i'm not even that sure abt what i'm saying... geez... no wonder...

Back to my bleak future... i dunno what i wanna do with my life... i dun ask for much, just a stable income enough to keep me afloat... and a job that i don't hate... but currently i'm stuck doing something i dun enjoy as much as i thought i would... and it's because it's the only thing that brings in the money at the moment... i was so looking forward to graduating, to coming finally coming out to work in the real world... but now that i am no longer a student, i miss it dearly... i just have to find out what it is i wanna do...

Was thinking of entering the hospitality biz... and i do miss the publishing life in NP, no matter how much i bitched about it... i do regret not putting in my all when i was in sch... and if given another chance, i'd put in my all...

I need a new lease of life... i need something to move me along, to motivate me through... something to light up my otherwise dull life... i need to find out what i wanna do, basically...

time to grab the steering wheel, i'd say...
