Thanks for the support Bro. Come to think of it maybe a folder called "South East Asia - Our Backyard" and to cover not only living in these cities but for those who travel to these places for various things like work, business, charity work etc. One of new forummer was sharing his experiences in Indonesia and the people. I know people currently doing charity work in Indoneia, Cambodia and Timor

Hehehe. Welcome welcome. I do get involved in some charity work both personally and work. We have make some minor donations to Pattaya Orphanage and Sawan Boriboon foundation. I also organize non-cash donation drive in SG. Donation items mainly from family members, friends and relatives. Will collect both new and used children clothings, toys, books, stationery and footwear etc. Last visit to SG, my excess luggage was 40 KG.

Nothing holy or biz related as I am still donating it under anonymous. Just want to do something cos' I have the time and resources to do it. Also, feels good to give.

Here's pic of Pattaya Orphanage

Haha I no health freak lah, actually used to eat out 100% of the time until few years ago had some stomach conditions so had to change my diet...After this few years of home cooked dinners, I do feel much healthier nowadays...anyway a photo of the dessert I take in JB to balance up...

Oreo cheese cake

Oh ever watched a Taiwan health program that said sweet potato is one of the most healthy food...

Hehehehe. Me also took up cooking becos' miss mum's food. Was really bad in the beginning and I punish myself to eat the lousy food I cooked. Over time, learnt all the techniques but still not at mum's level. Yeap, I cook the healthy Sweet Potato Porridge sometimes, problem is I also like Salted Fish (Giam Hee) to go with all my porridge. :p

Salted fish was prepared by mum and I just da bao to LOS.

 

[chonburifc]

ten grain rice porridge with kailan, seaweed, silver fish...

Hehehe. Have to remove Ikan Bilis heads if you want to lower the cholestorol. But me don't care, like the ikan bilis with the head. Sometimes, I will buy 200-300 gram and deep fried with peanuts. Goes well with porridge.

 

[chonburifc]

Hope don't wake up so early again. If wake up at normal time means jet lag over liao.

Think I also kena jet lag. Went to ZZzz early and wake up 3am. Knn, nothing to do so log in SBF. :p

Alternatively you may also consider 'The Office'
Imagine its versatility and possibility
You can use this to invite friends in the presence of your wife or gf
When making appointment over the phone...speak louder so that she can hear "Going to meet at The Office"
In the good old days, there was one at Orchard Tower which I frequent and sometimes my wife served me hot steaming breakfast when I reached home before 6am.

Rusty, Hehehehe. There is really a joint in Sin City at Soi Bua Khao called 'The Office' Agogo bar. See this.

Hehehe. Have to be careful with such offices or libary, cos' the perfume smell of the 'office girls' also very strong. Luckily, I am heavy smoker so the ciggies smell sort of 'cover' the perfume smell. :p

Bangers also got this nice sports bar in soi 33 suk called The Office -which is off stretch of dead artistes name bars like Dali, Renoir etc (with girls masquerading in evening dresses, part of "illusion" or beer goggles). Also got chabor lined up in tight minis at the bar for your company. More farang crowd. Aussie owned, good bar and finger food to go with your footy.

Haha I thought these are silver fish, are they the same as ikan bilis? Yeah I just washed them a few times to remove the heads, those heads that wont drop off, I just eat them

Haha I also started cooking late in life, but I find cooking very easy leh...think anyone, man, woman or older children can cook as long as enough motivation to do so...oh luckily my mum only so-so in cooking so I don't have high standard to match

Wow! So many joints named Office, Library, etc. How about Board Room? This one sure sound serious. How about 'Honey, I will be having a 'presentation' at the Board Room tonight'?

Hehehe. Jokes aside, how's your overall rating of Nakorn Sawan? Have yet to visit the place and and hope to hear some comments.

Hehehe. I spent a lot of time and money to learn cooking the hard way. After so many trials and errors, finally found out the secret of cooking good food is by feeling and not just recipe and ingredients. One of the most common dish is also one of the most difficult to cook dish. It's fried rice. Tried so many version and styles with different stoves, only to find out overnight rice, gas stove and good wok can cook the best fried rice even without ingredients. Still not perfect yet because previous place where I stay don't allow gas stoves.

Hehehe. Also fried some small ikan bilis or silver fish and keep in the freezer. That's for going with my sweet potato porridge.

Hehehehe. Not sure about BKK but YES in Sin City and quite heavy rain. Quite abnormal during this period. It's still drizzling lightly now as I am reporting to your post. Think have to light one mosquito incense at the balcony as the mozzies like to appear after the rain.
