We woke up around 7 a.m. on Sunday morning at
Pizza’s home. We got ready to go to the Samphran Zoo around 8
a.m. My parents went to pick up my sister Nat and her husband
Paul at Bang Bua Thong and I went with Pizza to pick P’Curb up
at his hotel. Last night I gave P’Curb my mobile phone so we
can contact him (lucky that I already deleted all xxx messages
in my phone, lol). Pizza phoned to P’Curb when we were at the
petrol station and told him we will arrive at the hotel in 10
minutes. After we picked up P’Curb then we went to join my
parents somewhere on the road and followed them to pick up Nat
and Paul.
After my parents picked up Nat and Paul then we followed
dad’s car to a petrol station to buy some snacks. Nat walked
to us to ask if we want something to eat. She told me there is
a kind of fried chicken, but it’s not KFC. She asked “do I
want it?” Then I said “yes” immediately lol, because we didn’t
have breakfast yet. When Nat came back and she handed the food
to us, P’Curb was excited when he saw the bag of fried
chicken… its A&W.
Pizza said she will feed me. She pulled out a piece of
chicken from the bag and started eating it, lol. She said she
has to check it first to see if the chicken is poisoned. She
worried that I’ll be in danger so she took the risk for me
because she loves me so much!! (Ai Za you were very lucky that
my feet can’t move lol). While Pizza was enjoying with the
chicken and forgot the whole world around her, my mom called
to me and she asked why we didn’t follow dad’s car! Pizza was
like she just woke up from a dream. She was looking around
shocked when she didn’t see my dad’s car. She put the chicken
down and she hurried driving off to follow my dad, hahaha.
P’Curb then said to Pizza “Don’t worry about feeding
Wheelie, I’ll feed her.” Then he pulled out a piece of chicken
from the bag, and he tear off the chicken skin (the best part
of chicken) and started blowing some air on it to make it
cool. I was waiting for P’Curb to feed me and when the chicken
ready to eat, he put it in his mouth *Crying*. P’Curb said “We
don’t have A&W restaurants back in my area in America. They
used to have a lot of A&W restaurants but their business was
going down. Now they don’t have as many A&W restaurants as
they used to have…” and blah blah blah. What’s in my thought at
that time was ‘will I ever have my chicken today?’ It seemed
like P’Curb could read my mind, he started feeding me after
that *Sigh*.
P’Curb is a friendly and talkative guy; he was excited for
the first time seeing the traffic in Thailand through Pizza’s
car. Let’s just say every sign, traffic lights, buildings etc
seemed interesting for him. He was talking a lot; he said
can’t believe he is in Thailand now and that he has met his 2
favorite girls. Sometimes he turned to me and caressed my hair
and he said to me “I told you I’ll come to meet you and here I
am. Our dreams finally came true ka.” Then I smiled back at
him as sweet as I could and asked “When will you dance in red
undie for me ka?” lol. He laughed at my question and told me
he is wearing red underwear today but in the car there is no
room for him to dance.
Oh, and I have to explain why we were saying ka ka ka all
the time. Ka in Thai is particle used by women at the end of
sentences to make them polite. And Krup is the same meaning as
Ka but used by men. You may think P’Curb is gay or what? Why
he says Ka? He said he use Ka because it’s easier to type than
Krup, lol he is lazy. I told him some of Thai guys used Ka too
when they talking to little girls or to some girls who are
younger than them. It gives softer sounds to the girls.
We arrived at the Zoo around noon, and my family went to
have a lunch near where we parked the cars except me and
P’Curb. I told P’Curb to go to join them and don’t worry about
me. I’m used to waiting in the car, but he said "I came half
way around the world to see you, I am not leaving you in the
car alone" he didn't want to leave me alone in the car. Now
that he is here I don’t have to be alone anymore. Then Pizza
came back to us to asked if we wanted some food, I said no
because I just had chicken same as P’Curb, he said no for the
food too. He said he didn’t feel hungry but I asked him to try
it. The food was my mom’s cooking from Pizza’s home this
morning. I wanted to know if he can eat spicy Thai food. So he
agreed to try for a little, I swear it wasn’t a small dish
that Pizza brought for him lol but he could eat all which
means he has no problem with my mom’s cooking and spicy food,
Ye!Ye!
While P’Curb was eating… my nephew Yim got into the car on
the driver seat and turned his face to look at P’Curb who was
in the back seat. Yim looked at P’Curb with interested and
then put his finger on P’Curb’s neck as if he was checking if
P’Curb is real, lol. It wasn’t the first time Yim had met a
farang, he has met some of my farang friends before and Paul,
Nat’s husband has spent time with my family many days. But he
seemed took a lot interested toward P’Curb. My guess was
because P’Curb is the biggest farang he have ever met and
P’Curb was even whiter than me. It’s not easy to find someone
who is whiter than me even if that person is a farang.
After they finished having lunch, then it was time to enter
the Zoo. Before we went into the Zoo, Pizza taught P’Curb to
tell the ticket seller at the ticket booth that “Pom pen khon
Thai” which means “I’m Thai” so they won’t charge him
foreigner’s price, lol. The ticket cost is 80 baht for a Thai
but it goes up to 500 baht for a farang! That is about 6 times
higher! I don’t understand what was the right of them to do
that. Maybe because farang have 12 eyes. That’s why they have
to pay 6 times higher so they could see things more than us???
But one thing I know it’s the right thing for sure is they
didn’t charge me lol. I know the reason for that. It’s because
for people who are in a wheelchair, we can't see as much as
normal people do. Like this time at the Samphran Zoo I
couldn’t see the crocodile’s show because they made the
crocodile pit bar too high. The higher place that they set for
people to see the crocodile show; they have to go up the
stairs with no ramp.
While P’Curb was pushing my wheelchair inside the zoo I
told him “They charged you for 500 baht but it was free for
me” he said “They charged me high so you can get in for free”
I laughed then I thought what will they charge for a farang in
a wheelchair?
The
first thing we went to see was P’Curb’s cousin (Monkeys).
There were 5 or 6 of them in the cages. We were taking some
photos and then headed to see the show that going to start
soon. The first show was magic show, the show had nothing
special but it was funny from the magician’s undisturbed face
even when he made a mistake his face still looked the same,
lol. The second show was elephants show; there were many shows
of elephants and one of them was the history war between
Myanmar and Thailand show. It had the recording sound to
explain about the battle in English language too but no one
could understand that even an English speaker like P’Curb
*Sigh*. But the show that got the most cheering was Elephant’s
dance show. People was laughing and cheering especially to
cute little elephants. But later I’ve known that someone in
our group wasn't happy with the elephant shows. Nat told me
Paul is a member of Greenpeace group or something like that
and to force elephants to do that is cruel to animals.
The last show we went to see was Crocodile’s show. I
couldn’t see the show as I already told from above but
everyone said it was scary. All I could see was the guys who
control crocodiles climbed up to get some tips from people
*Crying*.
When
we were passing the food shop I saw they have some meat balls
and hotdogs selling there so I asked Nat to get me a hotdog.
Then we went to the sit under the tree so Nat can feed me
there. Paul asked Nat what was the hotdog made from? Nat told
him it was made from pork and mixed with a lot of powder to
make it cheap. That made Paul and P’Curb confused. Why would
they put powder in food? Then Nat tried to find another word
but she couldn’t remember it and she turned to me for a help.
I then made it worse by say “flavour?” I knew it was the wrong
word immediately from the look on their faces, lol. Nat became
closer to the word “flouwer?” we were struggling on the word
for awhile then we decided to give up and go home, hahaha.
Just now I looked up in a dictionary and the correct word is
“flour” *Tired*.
It was around 3 p.m. and it was
time for us to go home. We said bye to Pizza and P’Curb and I
will meet them again when Pizza brings P’Curb to my home on
next Thursday. In the car my mom asked why P’Curb was taking
care of me so nice. Then Nat replied because P’Curb is my
friend so I didn’t have to say anything, lol. Normally mom and
Pizza are the ones who take care of me when we go out
together. This time they let P’Curb take care of me alone. He
was pushing my chair and fanning me, and kept pouring some
water in a little towel for me to wipe my face to make it
cool.
