Our Senior Sneak was cursed with rain from when we arrived to when we departed.
We successfully set our feet in Thailand on Tuesday, August 29, 2023. After an arduous 5-hour drive on the bus, we reached the ferry terminal lightheartedly. As we walked towards the ferry terminal, a light morning breeze erased our tiredness. We hurriedly darted towards the entrance, waiting for the ferry to arrive. Little did we know, as soon as the ferry cruised into the coast, rain came pouring down diagonally, piercing through our dry clothes. Beads of rain successfully drenched our shirts, pants, socks, and shoes, accompanying us until we reached the hotel in Koh Lanta.
As if he knew that we needed a rest, the rain god decided to rest a bit, giving us a day of rest as we snorkeled near Phi-Phi island and other islands around us. Unfortunately, he chose to continue his job and spontaneously sprinkled large amounts of water for the next two days. The rain poured as we were swimming, doing beach activities, and eating. Dora Liu said, “We were soaked from head to toe, from our hair down to our socks.” We dried and soaked in the never-ending cursed cycle.
The last day of our Sneak soon came in the blink of an eye. We started Saturday morning with our fresh, new clothes, ready to return to Penang. As we sat in the vans to the ferry terminal, the sky was blue and bright, with no signs of large dark clouds. Hence, we excitedly left the van and prepared to walk onto the ferry. But, the rain god did not want to leave us alone, and as we were standing in a very narrow shed, it came pouring horizontally, drenching everyone without prior warning. Just like that, our Senior Sneak ended just as how it started.
