Going to Sadao (Malaysia-Thailand border)

7th August 2014

A post on how I extend my stay in Thailand. 

If any Malaysian students who came to Prince of Songkla HatYai campus and needed to renew your travel visa (is that what it's called? uhm.), I hope this give you some idea. 

I need to go to Malaysia-Thailand border to step into Malaysia land and come back Thailand. Nearest is Sadao border or Padang Besar border. Sadao border is nearer hence, I went to Sadao.

I took a motorcycle taxi to "bor kor sor" (bus station) from PSU which cost me 40baht.

From there, find the counter with Sadao written to buy minivan ticket. It's 57baht.

Tell the minivan driver you want to go to Sadao border. It takes less than 1 hour to reach the border. Usually depends on the driver how frequent he stops to drop off customer or send packages/mails.

Once reached, I thought I needed to take a motorcar to go into Malaysia and come back Thailand cause that's what written in most website i read. 

NOPE. Lucky there's an uncle who can speak English and wanted to renew his travel visa too.

He taught me that I just need to walk to the counter to get my passport cop-ed.

Ask the arrival/departure form from the office at the left side.
Fill in the form yourself (if they fill in for you it costs RM2).

Walk to another side and get your passport cop-ed again to re-enter Thailand. 

Then just walk ahead till 7-eleven to catch a minivan back to Hatyai. The counter selling the ticket is just outside 7-eleven. The ticket back to Hatyai is pricier around 70+baht. The kind uncle paid for me saying I'm still a student. Tell the minivan driver where to stop you. If he's kind enough, he will drop you where you stay. In my case, the driver stopped a motorcycle taxi for me. Hence, I paid another 40baht to get back to my dorm. It takes about 3 hours to go and come back.

Well, can't believe I went alone when I can't speak any Thai. Lucky when I was in the minivan, the girl beside me is a psychologist in PSU Pattani campus. She can speak Malay and a little English. Helped me to tell the driver and so on. Very kind. Even wished me Selamat when she get off. 

Then the uncle who taught me how to get my passport cop and paid for my ticket back to Hatyai. Talk to him the whole journey and he seems knowledgeable. A businessman. A traveller. Deals with plant fertilizers. What I remember most, he said 

"Be good/kind to others. You'll get it back one day. But when you're doing a good deed, never expect for a repay." 

True enough.

Another uncle who sat beside me talked to me too. Turns out he's a Penangite like me! Retired. Having a holiday with family. Very friendly. 

The motorcycle taxi who fetched me back actually stopped at the main road. He offered to fetch me till in front of my dorm. 

I felt like I met so many nice people in this short journey. =3

Thanks for all the help.

God bless all the kind people.

First of, I'm a terrible blogger (I'm not considered one anyway!) cause I'm lazy as fork. Ops.
Yeah, but suddenly out of boredom I came back to my blog.
Want to blog something happy cause Fifi said that my blog is filled with sad and gloomy posts.
That's the problem with me. I only blog sad and gloomy and emo stuffs. GAH.
Okay. It's okay.
I suddenly felt like blogging again daily cause I want to read back in the future what happened to me (I'm sure I'm gonna forget with my 'excellent' memory). D=

So...I finally get to go oversea university (Thailand je pun but hey still out of the country!).
Currently in Prince of Songkla University Hatyai Campus for my Final Year Project.
Can't deny it's a good experiences. Seeing all the machines I've never seen before and the university is huge. The people here are different but nice. Polite.
Just that I felt a little awkward. Cause I'm an awkward kid. I can't socialize to save my life!
And I felt bad when I need to depend/burden/disturb the phd students here to teach me everything.
Don't have a choice but yea, feeling guilty.
Been a month I'm here. The food is quite similar to Malaysia. The 7eleven is awesome here.

PSU is having an Agriculture Fair. I'm wow-ed by it.
So many stalls and everything is just....there.
I'm sorry but if compared to my university..nope, can't even compare at all.
This is just too grand. /thumb up

I'm doing nothing today cause the one supposed to teach me went to Vietnam for 10 days. The professor is not around. I'm lost in nowhere again.

Will blog about Koh Lipe with Lob and Veen another time as well as how I went to renew my visa stay here another time.

I'm hungry. I need food. I need to walk back.

Hoping for things to turn out better.

I'm here now. No time to regret.

It will be worth it.

Having my first paper in another 4 hours. 

No joke.

My 6th semester.

Did not study much due to FYP and procrastination.

Really hope this sem would get good result.

May God be with me.

*pray*

this post. this post is still about EXO. 

I'm still sad and depressed and out of mood and I just want to flip everything.

Which I can't hence I keep on thinking bout this gif.

The lawsuit reminds me so much of DB5K. 

I was so heartbroken back then. 

And I can't believe I have to go through it again. 

I told myself it's not a wise choice to like EXO.

Well, I tried not to. I did.

But no. I just have to fall for them. 

There are so many speculations now.

I learnt not to believe them cause who knows the truth except them.

Fans are just siding who they want to and look at the situations based on their perspectives.

I could not blame Kris cause that's his choice. His health is on the line. Just that, the 11 members...who he left behind.

I could not blame Xiumin, Luhan, Suho, Yixing, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, DO, Tao, Kai and Sehun cause if it's me, I would be angry and feel betrayed too. 

Maybe, just maybe, they are not that close as what we see on screen. I mean they are close but even close friends have their own secrets and dislikes/disagree on certain things of their friend.

Can I blame SM Ent? 

Cause really, after JYJ then Hangeng and now Kris.

But what about Homin, remaining SuJu members and 11 members of EXO who are still staying in SM?

Up to individual preference?

Afterall, what works for you may not work for others.

So, I can't blame anyone could I?

I'm just sad that they could not perform together.

And I will miss their interactions.

I believe they will survive through it.

But cause I ship Fanxing so much...

What will happen to Lay that his duizhang who trains with him for four years is leaving?

The duizhang who I believe have a soft spot for Lay, let Lay troll him, search for Lay in airport always, takes care/protect Lay and supports Lay.

Lay must be in a lot of pain that the angel him is getting angry in Weibo.

(not his fault cause the anti is being a b*tch)

Tao is angry too based on his posts in ig and weibo..

People are saying SM confiscated their phones and posted the msgs.

But if Tao really posted that, I could not blame him.

Kris is someone he looks up to and wished to be like when he grows up.

He must be angry that Kris just left like that.

He must be sad as well as Kris was close to him, accompany him to shopping and even bath.

Other members are close to Kris as well.

(Honestly, they are close to one another that you don't know who to ship with who)

I was hoping everything is just a dream but it's not.

Despite all the fan wars, all the rumors, all the made up news, the truth, the lies..

We probably would not know the real truth...

It happened.

And all I could do is continue to support them including Kris..

their slogan "We are One" seems a little bit off now but

LET'S LOVE.

everyone is confused now.

reality hurts.

it's cruel.

*mend my broken heart once again*

hai. hello. hey.

I'm 23 now and still very into kpop idols.

Well, young at heart maybe. *bash ownself*

So, yeap. EXO. 

I wonder why Kris filed a lawsuit towards SM.

After 4-5years, I have to go through that pain again.

The feeling is just...

and

Don't know what to feel anymore.

Not gonna trust any news posted. 

Probably not true anyway.

I just.....

*frustrated*

I took a nap just now and I even dreamed of them.

That's a little unusual. 

They were in tuxs and we're just in a simple food shop 

(something like economy rice shop)

Not sure if all 12 are there but Sehun and Baekhyun and a few were.

And I was thinking why did I not ask for their signatures..

"Aahhh. Didn't want to alert them. *pretend I don't give a damn*

This must be what most fans felt when they meet them."

Okay, what a stupid thought I have in the dream.

But, Sehun is just ♥.

Hope for the best.

ot12 is still what I hope..

there are times I don't even want to live anymore. 

Cause it will never be me.

feels like crying alone somewhere.
