Do you mind..... yes/no?!?!?

( Koh Panang ((Don't know who's that behide us))

      

     Do you believed in fate? Do you like a romance story? And do you like to hear one?. If the answer is yes, yes and yes. I got my own special long distance live life comedy love story for you (oohhhhhhh).

     In Thailand, I was working as a tour guide. On that week, it was my last week to worked for this company. I was happy that got the smallest group ever, 4 girls, we became close. I had never have any English girly experience. It was so much fun, everyone got along so so well. Until their last week in Thailand and it was my last week with them. I spent every minute with this group(Normally I'm not really). We got sunburn, drink in our hand and party every night until our boat arrive to pick us up. Which is, 6 nights on the beach (Heaven).
    
     Every night a guy came to chat up with some of us. Then one night, I saw this gay couple sat in front of our table. Because we all sat on the beach floor to see a fire show on the beach.

( Koh Samet )

       After the show, it was party time. We all starting to play drinking game. One of a gay guy asking to join us. Why not, more people more fun. Until they speak up. I don't really understand they accent that much, I have to get one of a girl in my group to be my translator. We had such a fun night. Even if noone make sense to me. We somehow got more nationalities. At one point, we got Germany, Austalia, France, England, Thailand and Cambodia. English is international language. In theory, yes. But in this situation, No! We don't even know what we were trying to explain. All I know was, a bucket of vodka and redbull help!

     5 AM came so quick and a few of us went to bed (Some together). Me? Still talking with one of gay couple, trying to understand his language (Yorkshire). I asked him "Where is your boyfriend?". He looking at me really funny. So I say it again "Your boyfriend, where?". He burst in laugh and said "Everyone thought that and he not my boyfriend!". I don't know what to say after that. We quiet for a while until he said "tired?". I was releaved he not slap me.

     Sunlight start to get brighter. He offered to walk me back to my hotel. We didn't talk for a while until I broke the cilence, "This is my hotel". He said "Okay". I said "Thank you". And he said, "Am I gonna see you again?". I answer, "Yeah, you know where are we stay now". Right, for this moment, thinking about all romantic movie on the beach. A few people on the beach or non (tick), sunrise or sunset (tick), a couple looking at each other eyes (tick). He asking me," Do you mind, if I kiss you?". Me!!! OMB(Oh my Budda), Arghhhhh, in my head, what is a question, what is a tense, which gramma.... (took me a while to answer). So, I thought really deeply and said YES! What what WHAT! Shit, it must be wrong answer. As he face said it all. Then I filling my answer with "Yes, you can kiss me". It is propably the best kiss I ever had from him :-)

What people call my name!

      ( we went toTramline's festival )

     

     First time in 25 years of my Thai(ago) life. I have never ever thought, I will move away from my family, my hometown and Thai food! Now, I wanna go homeee. Too cold, food blend, different language, totally opposite culture and believed. Well, I can’t really complaint cos I already become one like you guy.

     Trying to find a job was horrible. I had no job experience in UK. But,I have an English degree from Thailand. I have been work as a tour guide. My speaking and listening was alright at that time. I used to have an American accent. British said “Why you have that accent”. I have no idea. As my university hire so many random English teachers to teach at the univesity. It wasn’t my choice. Now, “Who’s this Yorkshire woman”. I can tell you now, it wan’t my choice neither.

     Anyway, I started my first job as a cleaner. My boy friend/husband(Long story)'s friend, told me to take it. I have no choice(again). I worked for 2-3 weeks and one of my friend’s bf/hb said “They need chef in the kitchen”. I went back to work next day and said, “I can use knive!”. At that time, I don’t care, I don’t wanna clean, I wanna cook (Huge mistake, Massive!). They told me to follow some recipe. From then, I did cleaning and then stay on afterward to training to become a line chef.

     I remembered, my first day as a line chef. I worn a uniform to shown my bf/hb. I look so proud (Trust me!) I wasn’t speak much. I trying to listen what they say (Sound so weird), too short of word, some of a word not even a word, a lot of swearing (Chef knows) and mainly men. I finally become friend with a few of people there. They starting to interested in me (mostly thought I’m Chinese). For a while, this guy (become my best friend) asking ” What your real name?” I said, ” Palmy Lee”. He said, ” That isn’t on your passport wasn’t it! What is your real name? (He’s trying so hard to speaking not Yorkshire). I said’ ” Hrinyaphorn”. He said, ” A WHAT?!?!”. ” Hrinyaphorn”. He looks at me for a second and said, ” I can’t pronouce your name. I’ll call you Happy Thai Porn”. And walked off!
