pull down to refresh

I went for an overseas community service trip to Thailand when I was in college. I was so bowled over by the friendliness and immense respect paid to us young punks by the Thais. It is still one of my favourite life events thus far.

After I came back, I wrote this and dashed it off to a literary magazine in my country. Beginner’s luck. 🍀 haha. But I guess the emotions I hoped to convey were raw and heartfelt and authentic (though authenticity has lost its power for me since we overuse it these days).

This poem was about capturing a single moment in time. @carlosfandango may approve of this even though it isn’t a haiku haha.

DONT ZAP ME 1000 SATS. I will die of embarrassment
Zap me 8 sats, if you must since 8 is a lucky number in my culture haha

I'll sneak zap you more later :)
