In Memoriam: Abang

Abang

Abang (elder brother) was my neighbour cat. He was known as the 'village gangster' of my housing area. Abang died early this year because of sickness (maybe STD) and his body was buried under the hibiscus tree on the park in front of my house.

He was known to terrorise the neighbourhood cats including mine since 2004. Other male cats in the neighbourhood did not dare to come near our houses or there will be a bloody fight. All the kittens that born in this area during his reign somehow looked like him. I cannot count the number of time he peed in my house. You can say that he was not my favourite.

I was looking at old pictures and saw a picture of him perching on my window looking at my cats wondering why they did not want to have anything to do with him.

The brave one die young.

About Yin and Yang

I am always a believer of the yin and yang, the good and bad, to ensure balance in the cosmic force. That is why when I went food shopping today in Siam Paragon; I make certain that the balance is met.

The good food

and the bad food

The day is saved. The yin and yang is fulfilled.

Platinum... Pratu Nam...

According to Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia, Platinum Mall is a Fashion Mall. Why the hell did I end up inside the Mall on this side of Pratu Nam on a Saturday afternoon?

The answer is "I had a dream". A dream that somehow, someday, I also can be fashionable. After a couple of hours of fishing with no catch, I dug an imaginary hole and buried my dream 6 feet down, and settle myself with two white t-shirts. They will never be out of fashion.

I am sorry Bill Watterson, I know you are against merchandising your comic but I cannot help myself. The other is all about Kenny and his deaths.

No of dream buried = 1.

The Tales of Two Figurines

One nice sunny day this nice Thai man

went to a gardening shop and saw these cute little garden figurines.

He bought that middle one, wrapped and boxed it for travelling.

The figurines when for a flying trips and when it's reached the destination they were separated into 4 parts.
The moral of the story, how bad your day is keep on smiling.
Good news is the heads are back on the bodies.

Been there : Ayutthaya

If you like ruins and decapitated statues, Ayutthaya is the place to be. After months of planning and cancelling and planning and cancelling and planning, a few friends and I made it to Ayutthaya. Two hours away from Bangkok and you can have this view:

Ruins

and decapitated statues

we found the head

and we end it all with a sunset on the bank of Chao Phraya River.

All in all it was a good day.

Ayutthaya - been there, done that.

Changing Little World

Our little world has been changing without me noticing it. Now and then we should always look around us and take stock on what happening; such as that Thai house that I reported in my "Amazing Bangkok" story on July 21, 2007.

This is the before picture.

This is how its look now when I look at it today.

The pond beside the house is covered now and some of the trees are gone. It did not look as green as it was before. While I was watching, a little lorry came in with more stones to cover the x-pond.

This update is for Hisham - I hope you are in the well ;)
