A Time for Myself

Finally….. some time for myself. Songkran is over, same water splashing ritual all over Thailand. Very happy festive mode all over the country. And where was I? I was working, working and working. Worked 24 hours at site one of those days. Ridiculous. I need a break. Sometimes I wonder… to know more, or not to know more is better (Translated from Thai: Roo yer, ler mai roo de kwai? Arai dee?)

I am now, in the car wash. My car pampered by the washers. Sitting in the car wash café with its small garden next to the pond. Yet another small speck of luxury in the middle of cosmopolitan messy Bangkok. My coffee, my ash tray. And my new HP notebook, with my Wireless CDMA internet connection. This is life.

Reading Koon and Orgu blog. Wow… koon in Taipei again. Watch the food dear… legs growing out like trunks from under your skirt. And Orgu… your blog is very educational, very interesting and entertaining about the 4 Vices. However, here is my analogy:

VICE 1: Gluttony- eating too much:
Coz there is too much nice food in Thaland. Images from eyes and smell of food overwhelmed brain. Neurons in brain short circuit.. Causes mouth to lead body to food. And mouth control brain.

VICE 2: lim jiu- drinking too much:
Thirsty. Need water…. And here, some beer cheaper then mineral water.

why blackouts occur when i drink too much..
Because over-drink. Simple answer. And memory blackouts occur because the place where we have drinks are normally dark, can’t see anything clearly.

what's real - there are people who jump into small fountains when drunk.

How to avoid drunkness
Over-indulge in Vice 1. Too full for beer.

VICE 3: smoking- why i crave :
Oral fixation, better to suck on a ciggy then another man’s equipment.

what's real - Ciggys are only SGD$2++ here, big pack.

VICE 4: Gambling - why my hands itch
Because nothing else to do, or too much money dunno how to spend.

what's real - mahjong may cause brain to stress so much and sometimes causes Vice 1 2 and 3.
