Got a job from a client to look for good location for his new office. Anyone interested in office locations can contact me too. Eat sleep drink and go jalan jalan is my full time job.

Home cooked beehoon with sausage and some pork. They call it pad see you (always thought it referred to kuay Teow).

 

[chonburifc]

Yup. “Pad see you” can be either Thick Kuay Tiow (sen Yai) or Bee Hoon (sen mee khao or just sen mee)

“See you” actually means soya sauce. So “pad see you” is actually fried kuay tiow or bee hoon with soya sauce. But if never specify the noodle type, sen yai aka kuay tiow is the default.

Next door neighbors asks want to pool money buy a electric steam boat and bbq stove for new year celebration at my apartment. Each will come up with 1000 baht for the stove, seafood and drinks. Not so sure na cos I suggest go eat at mookata and bring our own drinks better. No need to clean up.

Anyway check price first. 2 models to consider.

If you are in Thailand, overhead cables is the least of anyone's concern. There are much important things to distract you.

The cheek of me. Had wanted to do alfresco makan, but the rom (wind) froze my balls off. So abandoned indoors

Breakfast on the terrace (again), welcome the sun's warmth

Yup. This has became a national issue after the comments by Bill Gates not too long ago.. Its quite high priority on the government list. Everyone here is fed up with power outage, internet outage and fires caused by these cables. And also lots of problems when vehicles exceeding height limits hit these cables.

The city management have hotline for reporting of dangerous or hazardous cables. Some actual recent photos of these taken by myself in Pattaya.

and also cause traffic disruptions when cable guys are repair the cables.

in terms of messy overhead cables, india takes the cake. anyone can suka suka connect to electric cables and tap the grid for illegal power. it's so bad they block the sun during day time. cuntries like these are kicking the can down the road. it requires total destruction like in a war to start over on a clean slate. otherwise, they keep talking about it, promising change but no one dares to take any action.

Temperature today


Wind so strong that the clothes drying rack almost blown off the balcony. Have to secure with a rope.

Sunny and windy morning.

 

[chonburifc]

Lazy to venture out this morning or rather too windy for me.

Luckily 7-11 come to the rescue. Bought Joke Moo (Pork porridge) from 7-11 last night and refrigerate it.

Morning just reheat it. Taste Aroi. “Ezygo” is a 7-11 brand of precooked food sold in 7-11 Thailand. Me not a fan of precooked but when laziness and cold weather come, no choice.
