Okay, in a bid to revive this space....

Its been months and months since I've last blogged, so its time to play catch up. This December has proven to be really packed. Relentless activities, trips, camps, events and meetups has made it impossible to sit down and write (not really...but that's my excuse anyway...)

So here it is. I'll start with my trip to Chiangmai with me family. It was just such a great time to hang out with Mich again.

List of activities include
i)Playing Dutch Blitz late through the night.
ii)going into mindless factory producing sites.
iii)Buying food and gifts in China town. This topped off with an old pink dancing tranny. Eck!
(see Pic Below)
iv)buying food from roadside stalls
v)mexican food
vi)eating khaw niao ma-muang (aha! no corrections to my pronunciation now that i'm just spelling it)

Apart from stuffing my face, we were going on these mindless touristy places of little significance. But i guess its all part of the deal. It was interesting to note that Thaksin Sinowatra started out in Chiangmai.

It was just great to hang out with Mich and Jack again. And of cos the folks. The folks will always keep themselves occupied with nuts and whisky in the hotel room. Its truly amazing when you think about it. My parents still enjoy each other's company, thoroughly might i add. It has been 30 years of a unified state. *shudders* Yeap.... That's what i wanna be doing with the old woman when i'm Fit-thy (as pronounced in 50 cents), having nuts and insert type of drink in the hotel room while your kids go horse around. We were horsing around but not this time. The days of running around and being fascinated by every little touristy thing was over. It was great. But this time around, I would say its a different kind of bliss. Just sitting at the back of the bus snoozing away was enjoyable for me. And glancing left, i saw my whole family snoozing away. It was one of the moments of my trip. It made me feel like 10 or 12 again. (is this bordering on emo? writing too tessa-ish?) Maybe its cause of work......Ah well.

And to conclude I present to you my video guide. Lonely planet's Ian Wright got nuttin' on me! And neither would Samantha Brown on channel 16.

But jack would beg to differ.

Roy: Can't stand me right? *chuckles*

Jack *sian from filming my self indulgent video clip*

Jack:(in the most nonchalant tone) Well...I live with you... *cheeky smile*
