What a life!

Just arrived Bangkok on Sunday night. My bro picked me up from the airport. When i was pushing my luggage cart towards where my bro was standing it suddently hit me: oh man...i will be on a wirlwind foodtrip with my bro and the 5 to 19kg prophecy will definately come true!! Sure enough, he and his girlfriend took me to have duck wantan noodles..yum!

Checked into Fraser Place at Langsuan after dinner - a studio apartment with a reasonable size (will attach the layout later). Most importantly they have a balcony...and to those of my friends who knows me well, they know how significant it is to have a balcony in an apartment! muahahahahaha..... ;p

Anyway, woke up the next morning feeling extra positive of my new work place. I walked to the office which took me about 20 minutes of panting along some small soi (lane), big drains and finally the climb....of many many stairs (jejantas)! Reached All Seasons Place where my office is. OMG! i felt like living amongst the Hi-So (High Society)- 3 towers of tall buildings that includes the Conrad Hotel and a shopping mall. No no no no...this is not good...not good at all..too many distraction!I was thinking of Hanoi and how it felt like living a life of celibacy (refers to a state of abstention from any kind of urge - in short, life of KETANDUSAN KASIH SAYANG)!

Back to the office. Our office is on the 36th floor, room 43. That whole floor has about 40 companies and Bravura is only a small part of it. Small space with only 8 working tables..room is white and it's damn cold! Everyone was nice so far - we have 4 Thais:Tod, Ken, Jeab and Premchit, my new boss whom is on holiday; then we have John, an Americano who can read and write Thai; Gerry ( i think he's Scottish or Irish); Wade who comes and goes and then there's me.

Well, all was good until 4pm yesterday, i was coming back from the little girl's room when my new collegues told me we can all go home for the day.....because the server room who manages all 40 companies' internet was down.... because...jeng jeng jeng...of leaking rain. Boleh tak!!!! Hi-So building like that and you have rain in the server room. But after that i felt better because it means i can go out and shop for some grocery as it will be Songkarn for the next 5 days (incl Sat and Sun). So i walked back (panting again) to the apartment, changed to my flipflops and again walked (this time no more panting) to Central Chidlom and started my healthy diet shopping :-) ..ended up with cheese, pasta, frozen food, chips, and dips, wine, instant noodle and more cheese...Macamana aku nak diet nih!!!!!!

And so my story in Bangkok starts from thereon..today i am working from home, thanks to the "raining" server room. In another hour or so i will be fishing through the food delivery magazine, trying to figure out which restaurant i want my food delivered from.

What a life!

ok, ok..5 to 19kg...Angela...5 to 19kg!
