Thailand Trip 2007 - Bangkok


it wasn't a good start for the trip.
we heard about news regarding boom case in Bangkok, someone drowned in Phuket and the flight was hit by slight turbulence... anyway, we arrived in Bangkok safely eventually.

to my surprise we didn't feel any panic atmosphere at all that caused by the boom case in railway station the day before.
everything seems to be normal and everyone is still drinking n enjoying themselves.
is it a norm to them already? i wonder...

after taking shark fin and bird's nest as dinner in china town, we headed to Pat Tong to walk around.
I was amazed by a shop that sells statues/ figures made by hardware junk.
it's very detail and creatively made, but the price amazed me even more...

Pat Pong is not a place for us, it's too noisy and too messy for old people like me.
not interested in the erotic pubs around there also. the fear of not able to distinguish their actual gender freak me out.

we then headed back to Khao San Road for a few drinks, and that's much more relaxing and enjoyable compare to the mess in Pat Pong.
was quite tire coz we actually started the journey from singapore the night before.
i went back to the guest house n rest quite early while the rest were continue drinking n flirting with the "Ah Guah"

the end of day 1 in Bangkok.


a guy approached us when we arrived the palace in the morning.
according to him the palace is not open till noon, and we were too early.
he suggested to take a boat ride and come back later.
the price is not that high and the arrangement sounds good, so we took the offer.
the boat ride wasn't what he promised. in fact what we can see is only houses n temples along the river... we didn't get to get off the boat to visit temples n other stuff.

upon arrival again at the palace, we found that the entrance we were at in the morning is not the main entrance, and it's not meant for entry. the palace was opened and we were cheated actually. what make us feel even more dumb is a small tiny signboard that we later found in the palace that says something like "don't trust any stranger that offer boat ride package"... damn, why can't they put the sign at a more visible place??!!?!

we took quite a while to queue up for renting pants (shorts is not allowed to enter the palace)
but at the end we didn't go in due to the price, what a waste of time, ha ha...

off we back to Khao San and just relax. we had a few drinks, some went for shopping and some went for massage

after dinner, we brought our bags n started the bus ride to Koh Samui

天冷就回来


上两个礼拜去看了音乐剧《天冷就回来》

住在南马,从小就对新谣很熟悉
梁文福的歌曲更是小时候听着长大的
现在听起来更有共鸣

而这就是梁文福的歌曲加上杜国威编剧的音乐剧
从几百首梁文福动听的歌曲中选出了几十首堆砌成的故事

故事叙述阿乐在女友小静去世后决定到纽约去追寻他的音乐理想
在那里,他遇到了阿强、Rose及餐馆里一起工作的一群同乡
一起在异乡追寻理想共同奋斗。。。


之前看过杜国威的《南海十三郎》功力一流
梁文福加杜国威,心中已经设了一个高水准

演出虽然出了些许技术问题
演员的技巧也有点参差
但整体来说是动人的

当了多年游子,虽然离家也不远
但也被微微的触动了心理的那一点

听听几首好听的歌曲

听说他们在2009年会再次搬上舞台
有机会的话就去看看吧

dun shake the bed, baby

while sleeping nicely on bed this morning, suddenly i felt that the bed was shaking
i'm not a person can be waken up easily, but it felt like someone is shaking the bed
it's sunny in 7.50am and the ghost festival is just over, so it shouldn't b some kind of spiritual thingy

by remember the news last night about earthquake in indonesia
I realised that it's another round of earth quark
yes, again! this is the second time of my life experiencing earthquake!
the first time was last march and it happened twice in a day

actually wanted to take MC today but the earthquake changed my mind
i worry that nobody know that i'm home if the building collapse... sigh...

yes, i think the doom day is coming soon
drink more while u can guys, cheers!
