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.

The end of yet another chapter

I truly appreciate the turn out, the efforts and everything these people have put in to make it a lovely sending off for me. I've come to the end of yet another chapter in my life and it's time to take a long well deserved vacation before commencing on another new adventure. It does feels really wierd and yet great for a long while to be able to wake up at 10.30am. I just haven't gotten used to the feeling of waking up having and knowing I have a free day ahead. It's like waking up on a Saturday or Sunday. I don't feel 100% about anything though, the feelings are very mixed. I feel a little stress, I feel happy, I feel anxious, I feel contended. I have absolutely no idea which is the correct feeling.

But its ok, for I had a wonderful Friday. Thanks for the memories.






My boss




The most old fashioned person i ever know lol

7 more working days

The speed which this year passes by is really scary. It seem that not long ago it was January, then June and now it's the last month of the year - December. I say it's scary because time can really pass so fast and if u haven't been doing anything useful, time can really waste you. I feel wierd this year, as much as I look forward to the month long break, I can't help but cast a wary eye beyond all that fun and festive period. It's going to be a very important period in my life.


I love the beach, especially the sunrise view


It's been 12 years since I slept in 1 of these...too long


The sound of the waves brings tranquil to my soul


Simple and beautiful sights

Privacy down the drain

Everyone has secrets and I'm a very private person to begin with. I really loathe it when people indulge themselves into my innear world. It can be as simple a world as an email account. Absolutely nobody, not even the president has the right to interfere in my privacy unless I warrant them the permission to do so. Some people just don't get it and unfortunately those people happen to be what I consider one of my good friends.

What is an office when everytime u leave ur desk u have to remove your cards, lock your drawers, hide all your valuables or even lock the door? It's like living with thieves. Some days ago I found my e-mail suspiciously wierd.....the message which have been read keep reappearing as unread. Ever the simple minded person, I blush it off as a technical error in outlook express only for the problem to deepen when it totally appeared that someone is controlling my email account, marking all sorts of mails as unread, defracing my messages and even worse, deleting it all. Better still, the culprit (i'm disappointed with this person so i shall leave his name out) managed to convince me that it's some bug and even offer to help me contact the IT services hotline to resolve it. Needless to say I did panic when my messages started disappearing and my reactions must have been kind of funny. Things resumed back to normal after like 20 mins, and I was infact more surprised than suspicious at the speed it took the "IT Team" to resolve the problems at that time.

And when I eventually found out yesterday that the person had actually secretly added himself as a delagate on my email which entitles him to all access of my email which also means he got the passwords to my mail and other forum accounts, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I see as a good friend and u do this shit to me? I can take jokes and I understand u love fooling around but what is funny to u may not necessary be the same to me. As pissed as I am, I'm at a loss of words, even if the purpose is to conjure me into thinkin that my email or computer has got a bug or virus. It just isn't funny. Whatever happens to 'Privacy'.

If there's one thing that never fails to piss me off is when people try poking their noses into my private business no matter what the purpose is.
