Phuket Holiday with Colleagues

This trip is a first time of many thing:
First time ignoring my Country big occassion... it's President Election Day the day I set off
First time being disrespect... it's 金花姑 49th days the day I set off
First time going holiday with colleagues... colleagues is never categorise as friend after all these years
First time rented car on vacation and then got battery flat.... waited for hours before getting "jump start"
First time changing car tyre in a dark windy raining street, getting help from 3 drunk ang-mo without realising it... but all my colleagues sense it
First time staying in a bungalow where I can see the high tide to door step

Now, back to office and everyone is still in high spirit, planning for next trip and a BBQ session. I ignore all mails because I have piles of work to catch up.

Fail to achieve Rinjani again /(4th to 9th Aug)

Supposedly to go Rinjani from 4th to 9th Aug, but fell sick on the day before set off. On that day, I did a last minute packing and then took a cab to airport.... but did a U-turn back later. Slept for the whole day... but the next day, I still went to work.

Received a SMS from one of the Climber and heard that only 7 of them make it to the top.... feel so depressed. Why share such news with people who can't make it? Why these people so insensitive?

I don't care, I am going to Nepal. I am going Everest myself. I don't need companion, I just need determination. I realise that ever since the Everest, everything seems to be messed out. No interesting, fruitful trekking. I need to go back to Nepal to gain back that energy.
