The Tenth Chapter: A milestone.

and we are still up and running, a testament to our friendship and commitment.

here i should like to introduce a new friend.

introducing..... Coral Chen Shan Hu. Hu u say? The dog in the picture. Named by Iceban, and loyal companion of Nature Boy.

Everytime we were at the beach, Coral would come along with us to join in the fun. I suspect it understands Singlish.


Dogs do go to heaven.

Chapter 9: Found. Happyness. Where? At this place...

Happyness for the group of 9 at last.
There were so many pictures that we can choose from, all looking so very happy.
Be it iceban, dragonlady, same same, snakey... everyone was just. Happy.
Cos we're there.
We're in paradise, having a good lunch, in a reggae inspired kick ass wooden hut, with soft cushions, refreshing wind, and the knowledge that we left hell behind.
Hell that started with the long winding road that greeted us when we forged ahead in our exodus from Phroar Beach resort to the leeching, unethical bus driver that hounded our every step waiting for a chance to pounce on us upon the first signs of fatigue.
But we made it.

And I present to you all.
Angel Beach. (correct me if I'm wrong kingkong) aka Paradise.
That were so much to do there, so much to say. But given the lack of time(tinman has to go shit), much more will be revealed.

One of the things that we were able to do in Paradise. Why?
There's an existence of a thingy what is commonly termed as a "Swimming Pool" in paradise.
In hell(Phroar Resort), the only pool you will get is probably a pool of mud.

Anyway, I present to you, the 3 Stooges...

Till next time. Tinman out...

Chapter 8: Welcome to Paradise.

Contented people. Smiles on faces. Clear water beneath our feet. Welcome to heaven.

You scratch my back, i scratch yours. This maxim was discovered by KingKong and realised by the Circle of Nine, when desperate, lost, thirsty and with the gangsta thai driver on their trail, they stopped at a nearby kiosk for drinks.

The lady of the kiosk smiled, probably because she made money from all nine of them, and so Snakey decided to try his luck. He asked, while gulping from the ice cold mineral water bottle, "Can you help us find a taxi? We want to go to other beach."

Some of the Circle of Nine were skeptics, and refused to believe that she would actually help, but help she did, and the Circle of Nine were soon on a taxi back to somewhere near the port, on a quest to find a paradise in a foreign land.

And paradise they found indeed. The sweetness of victory. They almost kissed the ground beneath them when they alighted.

And therefore, dear reader, remember. You scratch someone's back, yours will be scratched in the end. Its karma.

PS: This photo could easily be mistaken for a still shot of a Taiwanese Idol Drama, but its actually what materialises when you find your heaven on earth. You find your youth and happiness again.
