Sorry for the recent spat of password-protected entries – it really isn’t my intention to tempt my readers like I’m dangling a treat in front of you and not give it, and I suppose it may be a little insulting, but there are things that I only want a handful of people to read that [...]

Sorry for the lack of posting, but I’ve been out a lot lately. I’m actually very inspired at the moment to write a further 7 short stories to compile into a collection of short stories, of which I’ll self-publish it. :D It has been a long, suppressed dream – something I thought of as ridiculous [...]

My Bangkok update will be a little slow – immediately after I reached home on Thursday afternoon, I am confronted with the fact that I’ve a Price Theory mid-sem test next Tuesday and I’ve done absolutely nothing about it. :) No panic buttons pressed yet though, as our lecturer has supposedly kindly divulged specific information [...]

Day 17 – 20th December 2007 We woke up at 9am, walked around in search of a recommended khao soy restaurant as listed in the photostated papers of Rough Guide (which the two Singaporean girls kindly left it for us) but it was closed. We ended up eating zhap fan at a restaurant for 30baht. [...]

Day 15 – 18th December 2007 Pai was supposed to be a quiet getaway generally for the farangs (local term for ‘foreigners’), but apparently as of late, its popularity among the locals had increased due to it being featured in several (romantic) local movies – which probably explained why when we sat the mini bus [...]
