Happy New Year! *splash*

Month of Celebration Songkran Festival Thai New Year actually is on April 13, but for us Thais who LOVE to party, we technically shut down the country for a week to celebrate. Out in selected parts of Bangkok, and most part of the country, folks are drenching each other with water. Oh yeah. When April is the hottest month of the year, you’d actually appreciate water being thrown at you. This is, in a sense, the best time to be in Bangkok as most of the folks return to their countryside home villages for the holiday. It’s like Los Angeles...

Saturday morning musing

I’m a semi-faithful fan of VH1 Top 20 Countdown. I watch that on Saturday/Sunday morning after I do yoga.

I heart Terence

I can always count on my friend Terence to make me laugh. Here’s our email correspondence yesterday. TB: Here’s a picture of Chris’ kid. Me: Heh. Looks like dad and son were wearing the same clothes there too. Speaking of cute babies, check out my blogger-friend Chris “Rude Cactus”’s future generation geek baby. TB: Very cute. Kinda looks like you when Brandon reads old scripts from ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’. Me: Feh. I prefer “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, thanks.
