I swear I wasn't late for this orientation day since it says it would be starting at sharp 9am. I finally got to see the busy Thai brothers at AIT this time lol I meant it was Game who greeted me on FB first saying that he saw me when we were all lining up to go into a computer room. Since the room is too small to accommodate all of us. We had to wait for another one hour there. Hence Game, Kael and I were all sitting outside to talk for a bit. Game, the one that loves games, wanted to drag me into games so he showed me how to play this game called hmmmm cookie something. Later he left his phone for me to play that game for a few times. I knew that Kael was bored checking out posters hanging on the wall. I have no idea since when he has gone this quiet. Most of the time Game and I were having fun teasing each other, even in the beginning it was him who asked me to go for AIT and drop out uni lol ok...it was just a joke. It's my third year man, I have to do it. But yeah, guess I have became really tanned. Even Kael was wondering if I have gone to the beach these days =3= Kael is such a nocturnal one. There is this fact that he doesn't really go to sleep. He still looks the same even though he only slept for 2 hours per day. He does love to use this quote 'sleeping is only for the weak' to laugh at me whenever I say something such as I am tired, I need to sleep at the minimum of 5 or 6 hours etc. I mean, come on man...how can you not feel sleepy after you only have taken 2 hours to sleep every night. He then said 'I am just too used to this lifestyle for so many years as I am god damn busy.'
Anyways, Game and I were having a good time talking at the office when we were signing for the confirmation sheets. The fun part was just that discussion about how to balance time and money. After we came back, there was this big guy introduced us to the new products called Cintiq and something else that I can't recall the name...I don't think I'd ever need it for my filmmaking courses, but Kael and Game, on the other hand, they need to train themselves as good artists. And Kael was thinking of getting one of those medium sized one. After we finally got into that computer room at 11-ish. we tried to create our new password for our account and were taught how to go on our AIT official website to check the materials, timetable or any other resources we would need for the courses. Once three of us saw our timetables, we tried to look for any matching classes or breaks together. Unfortunately quite a few classes of mine are clashed with my uni classes, and I wasn't really complaining about the amount of time I have to spend at AIT but it was such a frustration to manage two timetables at the same time. Kael mistakenly thought I was complaining, he then *pats pats* 'stop complaining, just do it'....=3=
Anyways...His brother left us afterwards, as he had to go somewhere to meet up with his friend. Kael asked me what I wanted to eat, I was joking about I wanted to eat Thai food, but he took it seriously, and led me to a Thai restaurant in Capitol. >.> I asked him to order one of their famous thai dishes for me. Tom yum soup was the one I had. Even though I have asked him to tell them not to add too much spices, my forehead was gone all sweaty and my cheeks were reddened. I assumed there is no such thing as mildly spicy for Thai dishes=.= He seems like he does know so much in creative industries as he could name most of the roles and accurately told me what each of them does. Definitely he has done so much research and preparation for his future career. Unlike me, I am not even sure what particular field I want to get in because he has recommended me to look for my own resources for graphic design etc from the way I described what I really want to do. He doesn't smile much most of the time, it was just me who has been trying to make our conversation less awkward as it was getting too overwhelmingly serious at times. We headed to paddy's market and looked around for only 10 minutes or less because he understands me too well...I said I didn't really mind walking around there yet I did mean I didn't want to spend much time. The next minute, he didn't say anything but asked me to go upstairs and said 'lool I know you too well, I know you mind each and everytime when you say you don't' Anyways, he led me to some anime shops and asked me to guess the prices of some anime figures. After knowing he'd be opening his own shop online soon by investing a large amount of money to import some anime figure from overseas, I didn't say much. As strong as I know he is, he doesn't need any luck nor fun to do one thing, he said to me 'This is just a part of life, an experience to do something that you think you need to.' I seriously feel so trivial compare to someone like him who sees everything as nothing, and nothing as everything, to the point that he doesn't mind the fact that having lack of sleep will shorten his life expectancy, resulting in death in early age. Yet he isn't showing a negative attitude here, his comeback was too articulated to be judged when I questioned him why he has never thought about living with his family longer. He said 'If you have been treating them nice enough and been always happy with them all these 23 years. The length of life doesn't really mean much, they either die before or after you at the end anyway'
Ahhh and as he knows, I've been picky towards so many things. Though partially I was trying to make fun of him and keeping our conversation more relaxed, he did know I meant it when I asked him to go to a more quiet place to talk. And sitting on the couch in the cafe will make me fall asleep; studying with someone won't get me any productivity because he said he wanted to come back to that cafe during breaks; also when he said designing apps will earn so much, and asked me to think about change my specialisation to app instead of film, I then said to him 'I want to be rich but I don't want to be that rich because it will only give me an insecure feeling'. He goes....=3= Asking if he was sleepy from how often he yawned, he kept saying no. 'See see see I told you, you are sleepy :3' He said 'My body is sleepy but my mind is not lol' But he's also mean to laugh at me stealing his drink. 'Last chance...You sure you don't want it? lassstttttttt chanceeeee...' Saying that while shaking his drink in front of me=.= So I took it from him, had a sip and gave it back to him>.>
I guess it was too late for me to do some work after I came back. Oh and panpan does need more rest. It's better for him to stay home in these two days...
