You could be happy.

I love The Royal Tenenbaums.


So what if you have a dysfunctional family? We all do. Just appreciate what you have. And sometimes turn a blind eye when it comes to family and loved one.



Oh, Richie and Margot in the movie was great. There's another Youtube video I found with the scene when he slit his wrists. Ewww. But I would understand why anyone would want to do that.



Not that I'm in a suicidal mood or anything.

Thursday?

I am so confused with the date. And time. Since this month, I have been on the night shift for four days a week, then I sleep during the day, then I wake up at odd hours not knowing where I am! And lately I've been dreaming so much sleep isn't really relaxing. Hmmmm


So, to summarize the past week briefly:


1. I went to see "Inception" and it was great.
Well, there's Joseph Gordon-Levitt to begin with, then Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ellen Page. But what was so great is the story and how mesmerizing it was!! Highly highly recommended.

Oh, and of course Marion Cotillard. What beauty and talent.

2. I have a genuine Vuvuzela of my own.
Lalalala thanks to my co-worker who just got back from South Africa and had a spare V. left for me!!! I've been playing with it for a full day and planning to annoy the hell out of everyone I can. Lalalala I'm sooo happy!!




3. I'm halfway through the third book in Stieg Larsson's Millenium books, and I would have been done with it a few days before this (since I literally am in love with Lisbeth Salander and her tattos) if not because of.....




4. The discovery Plants VS. Zombies on my iPhone and me spending hours playing on this thing!!! Addictive to say the least!


Okay. Random post. But whatever. I still feel so tired all the time. Humans aren't really made to stay up during the night are we? Yawnnnn


I'm going back to my zombies now. Ciao!

Midnight Munchies, Job Hazard.

My job is actually a health hazard. Some days I work at 8am to 9 pm, and others from 7pm to 8am. Of course I get some sleep, but it's not sleep that's worrying. It's the midnight meals me and my co-workers seek almost every night :P

And it's hard to resist the temptation! There's yummy stuff on every corner after hours, and last night was no different. We went out and got fish maw soup, bread with custard and noodles. Oh, and deep-fried meatballs. I was stuffed.

The bread and milk vendor. Yummmmm

Famous Mont Nom Sod at the Giant Swing. Always packed and always great for boring nights at the office.

I haven't tried this place yet, but they have stir-fried rice noodles with pak kra ched or water minosa. I have to visit this place.

Oh, and their menu so I can plan ahead. Haha.

Happily seeking for yummy food in Bangkok....

Red Headband and Happy Friday.

Last Friday, I had the night shift, but since it was Friday me and my sister just had to make it a bit special. So we went to this event at Central World. There was a concert and loads of handmade artsy stuff on sale. Nice but hot though. Anyway, we were dressed for it :P

I keep telling her she wears these black shorts too often. Of course, she ignored me, and told me she has two of these. They look exactly the same though. Hmmmm...

The wooden house is my grandpa's. And it's not that I wear headbands so much, I just got an impulse on that day...

What I wore to my Friday shift at work.

A confession. Friday night it was the Brazil match with Holland. I had a Brazil headband, which I wore when I was watching the match at the office (nerdy i know). They lost and I was devastated. Anyway, last night I rooted for Spain and they won!!!!!! Really happy and I'm looking forward to the finals!!! I just love the World Cup.

Day Trip. Boat. Blue sky. Motorbike.

Since my girlfriend and I both have Tuesday off, we decided to take a little day trip to Koh Si Chang. It's just and hour away from Bangkok, and quite peaceful.

The skyline away from the city. I have this thing with cranes.
Especially ones in the middle of the sea :)

Once on the island, we rented this motorbike. The thing was, neither of us has actually rode one before!! Anyway P'Oui braved the thing. And we survived.





Random pic of my favorite bag. And of course i wore purple sneakers.

Not too many pics since we were too busy fiddling with the camcorder!!
This one we were on our way back. Tired but wonderful day trip!!

These two live on the mainland, but go to school on the island. So they take the 45 minute boat trip in the morning and evening. And they entertained themselves by munching on these kiddy snacks that have toys in the bag! I was sneaking a peek the whole time :P

Ahhhh how nice to be away from the city, even for just a few hours :)

Saturday Work Play Outfits.

So yesterday after the crab-fest, my sister went to work (she's an English tutor) in these.

By the way, those sunnies are mine...

And here I am preparing to hit the mall.

In my favorite dress of course :)

The switchboard at the crab place. Impressive. How I love old stuff!

Ah.... getting ready for Monday again. How come weekends go by so fast???

Daddy took us out for crabs.

So yesterday dad took us out for crabs. He was reading about this place from the paper, and it wasn't that far, just around Phan Fa area, and it's called Phan Fa restaurant. The place was so old-school. You know, not much decor, tiny and steep wooden staircase, and waiters who looks like they've been there for 30 years. Oh, and the grandma sitting near the restrooms. Anyway, they're known for crabs and chicken rice, so this is what we got:

This was sooo good. Juicy and the meat was so fresh!!!

I had half the plate :P . Really.

The chicken rice. Not that special.

Crab claws. Yummy yummy.

Seaweed and tofu soup. Also good. They put in minced chicken which was nice.

Tacky crab decorations on the walls.

And my sister the crab claw model. Haha.

Overall, it's great for taking your family. Grandparents would feel right at home. And the service was good too, we could be kind of picky but they were fast enough. Also, they have really delicious pomelo (which we brought home) that was so juicy and sweet (too busy eating to take pics of the pomelo though...)

I was intending this blog to be a lifestyle blog, but I seem to just concentrate on food!!! Whatever makes me happy, right?

Love you readers :)
