Resemblance

Srivana

The friends decided to go to Srivana and took a stroll  for their needs  before dinner.. the actual break is still on the coming weekend

This is their first semester together ..

How did they all meet?

As freshmen they need to have an orientation week where they get to know their peers and their mentors from the seniors..

They had a weeklong activities by group where they need to complete tasks in knowing their blockmates, their batch and their seniors in the second and third years...

Having been assigned to the same block, they were able to get each other's numbers and work together ,

They stayed in their group when June started grouping them together after the orientation.

Thus, they started to learn something on each other..

Kao was a serious learner and he always get high scores with Sandee and Pete.

He likes sweet things and always get soya milk or pink milk for his drink if not bottled water..

Pete is a natural leader like Thada but does not talk much that he is seen to be arrogant.

He likes eating at home but because he is tightlipped all the time, no one knows that.. he still joins them for strolls and eating local delicacies.

Sandee can be candid and sassy, the mother hen of the group always  making sure they can have their own opinion heard and loves spicy food.

Thada is always the protèctor...he and June can keep up with their academics but no high scores like Kao.

He likes riding his big bike and can eat a tub of icecream when he's having a bad day  vanilla it is

June  was the "happy monkey", always adventurous - trying new food everywhere even brought to the clinic when he ate too much.

Now they are strolling in the mall, searching for what to bring in their next group activity... they decided to go Thonsaran by the weekend if it doesn't rain..

Hey Pete! Do you have extra tents to bring? Asked Thada

We can just rent or borrow from the hiking club.. answered Kao nonchalant while sipping his mango shake.. earning another stare from the group..

What did I say wrong now?  Kao spluttered when he noticed the stares...

Now, you are answering for Pete? teased June while walking backwards..

Nearly colliding to a person in front of them when Thada gently pushed him to rotate forward.. he smiled nervously..

Pete answered,

I think we have around 3 big tents for camping at home, I will bring that..

If you have sĺeeper rolls just bring that with you instead

What else do we need? Asked Sandee...

I will check on that and update the GC later on ,

Answered Kao sneaking another look at Pete if he has something to say.. slightly relieved when the latter continued walking to the foodcourt.

For some reason Kao felt Pete is always mad at him.. checking his mistakes over and over even when he is doing things right.

Pete, on the other hand, followed Kao's gestures finding it cute when he pouts or when he frowns and chew his lip for concentration..

All that in secret as he shows nonchalance while crossing his arms.. humming his answer when needed.

When they found a table.. they ordered food of their preference while one person is left to stay in their table..

Sandee got spicy pork basil with rice

Kao had shrimp and egg with rice with additional sweet cake

June ordered spicy padthai this time

Pete went ahead for oglio pasta and

Thada ordered chicken pasta and potatoes..

They got water for their drinks as they finished fruit milk shakes earlier when they were  strolling.

Will you guys go home after our camping for the two-week vacation? asked June,

I will work in Saram Farm as mangoes are in season again

P'Kit and I  will be in Pattaya for our parents'anniversary. answered Kao

Mae asked me to visit N'Thanya in Siam , Thada replied

I will help at the shop, there are many tourists now said Sandee smiling

....

They looked at Pete not saying anything...

....

Hmmm?!  motioned Pete... Oh, Dad asked me to check our branch in Singapore  with the crew for new project..

They resumed eating after that

After eating, they continued checking new things at the gadget store and the supermarket then went home

Pete drove his royal blue Ford Figo to his pad..

His bachelors pad is downtown, a 3 storey building apartment where his dad bought the penthouse for him for his 18th birthday

It was to prepare for his uni  studies as it was the nearest property they have to the university.

He is being groomed by his dad to take over their developer company

Sandee sent Kao home with her white Honda Civic before going back as his own car is still at the casa for repair.

He is supposed to pick it up the next day.

Kao lived in a townhouse with his brother Kit who works as a freelance photographer, who is his influence for liking photography.

They have a resort in Pattaya where their parents manage as professor retirees.

Sandee on the other has a bridal boutique with travel amenities that is owned by her older twin siblings Sasha and Sun. Their parents died 6 years ago from an accident while touring.

Thada and June convoyed using their motorcycles,  an orange  Honda Rebel and  a midnight blue Yamaha Bolt Cruiser  to the dorms.

Thada helps in looking after his younger sister Thanya while his mom works overseas in a car company..

She only gets to come home every 6 months and stay for 1month vacation  with them.

That is one reason why he chose Thimpa University as it is only 1 hour away from Siam where his sister stays with their aunt.

He also works part time in a coffee shop near the uni for extra pocket money.

June is the youngest of 3 brothers Johny, a lawyer ; Jimmy , an architect and June a freshman for Engineering like his friends.

They have government employee parents who also built Saram Farm as way to give casual work to some of their relatives.

He works part time for his additional allowances when not in school.

When they reached their respective houses, they continued chatting while working on their final paper works for the classes they have before the break.

Kao sent them ideas on what to bring for their 3day camping and reminded them for some other paperworks they might have missed.

When they ended their chat..

Kao took a quick shower.. thinking how their camping would be in the next few days -- before closing his eyes...

I wish it really won't rain in the weekend..

TBC

who likes rain like me? Why does it seem Kao does not... he is a polar bear..
