So P'Chon, why this time dun have my avatar? LOL

Btw, hows the internet connection there har? been wanting to ask, especially the mobile broadband.
Hehehe. Must give chance to all samster leh.

Yes, the new apartment offer free WIFI but speed can be slow because share by all residents. Good for surfing net only. I intend to get my personal ADSL over the next few days. Speed is not as impressive as SG.

For mobile broadband, I am using both AIS/DTAC unlimited package. They do a maximum data cap for amount of data downloaded. Both my AIS/DTAC packages are THB799/mth. Think it's cap at 4GB or 8GB of data. After this limit, you can only download at 64K or 128K speed but it's still good enough for me.

Yes. One day also have and is THB49 per day for unlimited download. 3 day think is THB 99 or THB 109. This is for DTAC.
Other options are 5 days, 1 week and 1 month packages. Do not go for time-base package.

OK, paid THB 2.1K for this 24 litre Microwave oven.

Chon, please try not to use microwave. Its very unhealthy as it changes the structures of the molecules which is not compatible to living things. Hey you have motorbike and food is near home so go out for makan and be lazy to do anything at home for food.

Many of the traffic jams also cause by these inconsiderate drivers in the yellow box. The 2 cars in the pics are Cha Cheng Sao registered cars
.

Finally, back in Sin City. Was unable to find a parking lot at my favorite braised duck kway teow stall so went back and change to motorcycle and return here again.

OK, this is not for the health conscious. I order Piset Piset (Special Special). :smile: Little bit of kway teow with 1 duck drumstick and 2 duck wings plus spare parts. This one cost me THB 70. Normally, only THB 35.

Hehehe. Thanks for the advice. Heard of the bad things regarding microwave but not too sure what is it all about. Talking about laziness, think I have to admit I have become super lazy.

Microwave more for emergency when I don't feel like going out or just lazy to go out. Usually, breakfast. :p
