It's been a very very very long time since I've written anything here. Especially in the light of my constant promises to friends and roommates who wonder once in a while where the fark I am and when I'm coming home. Apparently, if I'm not careful I could miss the sale of our apartment by landlord, one roommate going to UK and us moving out to a 2BR place. God knows what I've already missed. (eg potential life forms breeding in my room... gotta watch those teabags)
Aanyway... Right. Bangkok. It feels like much much longer than 3 weeks that I've been here. I'll summarise the lowlights and the highlights... (leave up to you to decide which is which...). In no particular order...
1) Weekend at Koh Samui (the airport is actually a shed with no walls... AND they made us pay an airport tax of 300 baht... what the hell for? repairing holes in the roof due to coconuts falling?)
2) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (editing..... )
3) Anna's hens night (not in bangkok): mmm panther...
4) Looking for Anna's wedding present. What the hell was I thinking when I promised Thai fertility statues???
5) Process mapping... god... process mapping...
6) **#*#*@())@__!!!#$#%%%%***************************** (more stuff about work and client that I've had to edit due to the memo we got from Ralph. Apparently we are not allowed to diss the firm anywhere - which includes drunken conversations and blogs... HRMPH!)
7) ummm... I thought I had more to say but I'm kind of stuck now. A bit retarded today after just spending 3 hours banging my head against a metaphysical wall of non-english speaking (and not very bright) people.... I allow the possibility that they may come across smarter if I understood more of what they are saying... Actually.. maybe not...
8) Mondays - are yellow shirt days in Thailand - in honour of the King (some sort of anniversary... maybe 50 years since coronation I think). At first I thought "geesh, yellow is popular", then I thought it must be some sort of uniform... Now I have a yellow shirt. Have worn it once. Moved on to wearing a yellow tie instead.
Hm Sleepy now...
