Feeling sick on x'mas

I finally found some time to blog while waiting for my friend to get ready to leave. The golden rule when meeting a thai is to turn up at least 30 mins later than the agreed time. There are pics i wanna upload but Im not sure if i should plug my usb into this computer just in case there's some virus.

It's been 4 days since I've been Bangkok and things haven't been a bed of roses so far. The street outside my hotel is flooded due to a pipe burst which makes walking out to the main roads rather annoying. Obviously I couldn't wear any flip flops out. This is my first christmas in Thailand and my 2nd consecutive one away from Singapore. I have to say Christmas isn't really a big deal here, there's no countdown - at least at the club and places I went, nor were there any obvious christmas parties going on. Seem like Christmas eve is just another public holiday for the locals. I spent my christmas eve shopping away at Platinum Fashion Mall with Mel from the late afternoon onwards before hitting the club JET at night. Finally I was able to get into that club and got myself a comfortable sofa seat. Made a couple of new Thai friends there as well. It was an ordinary xmas eve for me. Nothing too special but I had my fair share of fun.

However today isn't that fun, I woke up with my eyes feeling heavy, body feeling numb and I just had this feeling some kind of illness - possibly fever or flu is just around the corner. It's really terrible to be sick in a foriegn land.

Merry Christmas all, god bless.
