Too Close For Comfort

I flew back to Bangkok tonight on Thai Airways' Boeing 777-200 plane.

Previously whenever I flew, I tend to sit at the tail end of the flight. I prefer the back seat as I read somewhere that by sitting at the end of the plane will provide higher chance of survival during plane crash. Sitting near the wings is also safe as that is the strongest section of a plane. Problem is that is also where the fuel tank is and with plane most of the time will blow up in flame during crash, sitting next to fuel tank not going to help with survival. Most people that survive plane crash will die from burn or smoke inhalation.

Recently I began to sit on the middle of the place because the plane usually seats the tour group people at the back of the plane. After a few awkward incidences with tour group people, I gave up my safest heaven in the plane and move up to the front. That was where I was when I flew tonight and when I looked out from the window, I saw...


The Roll Royce left engine of the plane and its make me a little petrified. Should I move back to the back of the plane on the next flight and face the tour group people? Or should I sit in front and face the engines? I have two weeks before my next trip to ponder on this point.

About A Movie : Bangkok Love Story

It is a cliché to blog about a movie but I will execute it anyway.

It is started when I saw this stimulating movie ads photo all over Bangkok. After a week of being bombasted by the advertisement, Nan, Rose and I went and watched the movie tonight in Central World Plaza. This is the first time I sat through the entire Thai movie.

The movie English title is Bangkok Love Story. The Thai title is Pe-arn which mean friend. It is a movie about 'brotherly love'. The cinematography is impressive and the music is excellent. The story line is a little gloomy for me but the actors are just muy bueno :)). All in all it is a good movie. Check out this blog for the full detail review.

Cow say moo.

Let It Shine, Let It Shine

This is for all my friends that currently stuck head-down in man-made shit hole.
Shine
(Take That - Beautiful World)

You, you're such a big star to me
You're everything I wanna be
But you're stuck in a hole and I want you to get out
I don't know what there is to see
But I know it's time for you to leave
We're all just pushing along
Trying to figure it out, out, out

All your anticipation pulls you down
When you can have it all, you can have it all

So come on, so come on, get it on
Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine

Stop being so hard on yourself
It's not good for your health
I know that you can change
So clear your head and come around
You only have to open your eyes
You might just get a big surprise
And it may feel good and you might want to smile, smile, smile

Don't you let your demons pull you down
'Cause you can have it all, you can have it all

So come on, so come on, get it on

Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine

Hey let me know you
You're all that matters to me
Hey let me show you
You're all that matters to me

So come on, so come on, get it on
Don't know what you're waiting for
Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
So come on
See the light on your face
Let it shine
Just let it shine
Let it shine

Hey let me know you
You're all that matters to me
Hey let me show you
You're all that matters to me

Hey let me love you
You're all that matters to me
Hey so come on yeah
Shine all your light over me...
(Gay guy can sing)

A Mocking Goose

Take this!

I have never seen a goose tongue before, dead or alive. This goose stuck one out for me. Maybe this is exclusive to geese in Ayuthaya or maybe it was just a piece of bread :)
