Day 4 (8/25) “Like a thousand commanders on a thousand battlefields, I’m waiting for the dawn.”

I got a tattoo! This was not the first thing of the day, but it was the first I wanted to put here to start the article. The tattoo is the phone put on every startfleet member’s left breast. In the series movie “Star Trek” we can see Captain Picard often patted it and said “captain to the bridge”, that’s the one. I just had it to remind myself to keep exploring and accumulating wisdom like Sean-Luc Picard. Folks screamed when they saw my tattoo, said that’s very cool : ) Happy to have their response. The thing of the day was beach cleaning, that was what we guys did. It was pretty surprising to see how dirty the beach was and how much damage human caused while partying, however, when we ourselves were doing it we didn’t even watch the thing we were doing. While we were busy digging out mats and fuel tank buried under sands, two Chinese ladies spotted us and then they just joined us. Soon after we saw some ladies and guys joined too! It was good to see that at least we knew there were still good guys out there. I heard the Chinese ladies talking in the language I’m familiar, so I just went chatting with them. They were from Shen Zhen travelling on Ko Tao for just four days, and today they were going to take ferry back to Bangkok just two hours from when we met. We had good time picking up stuff and chatting, and one of the ladies left me her email address and mobile phone number. Marina the Irish girl told me afterward that she was pretty sure that the Chinese wants me. Haha! Well, I have no idea about this, but we sure did have a good time there. Thanks to God, in the morning before setting off to meet them guys, I was quite depressed by being unable to understand slang conversation. We would discuss before going for the teaching, so I was worried about being unable to catching them up. I prayed to God for wisdom and peace and then set off. Wow, it really worked! I went to Pranee’s Kitchen and grabbed some breakfast there until their coming. They sat down, ordered some toast and porridge, and then said they just wanted to do beach cleaning and then go relaxing, no teaching at all! I was pretty surprised by this, then soon after they said during the teaching well before this week, the kids just kept fighting no matter you shouted or stopped, teachers were just stressed out. Mm, so be it! Then evening we went for lady boy’s show in Saireem Beach, that was a very great show. The dancers were professional, they danced very well, for me they were just as amazing as professional dancers on every TV show. This was my first time seeing a lady boy face to face, You still could see some trace of man on their body, but one of them was very beautiful, just like a 100% girl, it was just amazing. The guys I have been in touch with seem very young. Some of their ages are like 18-25, just one or two of them are 28 or 29. Joe the girl from Manchester is 28. I wished I could be younger, but, what’s the meaning to think about this~ right? Tomorrow probably we will be doing some scuba diving. Chan Tao said people have to take like 4-5 day training before doing real one. So maybe we will be doing it in shallow water. Yahey~!
