Why is it that the weekend always go by so fast? How can one day off be so darn short? Where did the time go?

Anyway, just an update on what's happening....

Boss banned MSN, but i think nobody cares that much to follow thru. I think maybe Boss is jealous we are more techno savvy than her. It's a good tool...you just message questions to whoever is online and get instant answers and opinion. They should have everyone on MSN. And it's EXTRA good when my "professor" friend is around. She's way knowledgeable than anyone else I know. and even if she doesn't know, she'll know the way to direct you to find the answers.

So anyway, there was a Jap football team that was in-house with us. I was all excited when I was asked to help supervise their dinner party. Till I found out this was a small-time football team (as opposed to the English premier leagues I suppose, everyone else is small fry.) But they are quite big in Japan as i found out. Then I found out again that this is the community team (meaning all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers who joined) so they really are a bunch of regular folks. No handsome specimens like Nakata around. So...well...but there's a few of those goodlooking ones. Why are Jap guys so cute? Esp those tanned beachboys kind. They look good enough to eat. Mm....I'll eat one whole anytime....Mmm....

So anyway, they had a party at the beach, scheduled to start right at sunset. They come, they go to the beach side and then they oohs and ahhs the sunset and then they clapped. I supposed coming from the Land of the Rising Sun, it's a phenomenon to see the Sun Set. Like wow, the opposite actually happens??!! And must say the sunset was rather pretty despite the cloudiness. Took a few pictures to show off how beautiful a place I work in....:)

 The marquee it took place in.

 Chef Pachon (one in tall hat) at work at the BBQ Pit... Yummy....(the food I mean....)

Anyway, this weekend was spent hanging out at the cafe at Tesco. I think the staff recognises me cos they go "Coffee Frost?" automatically. And I got one free coffee cos i accumulated enough stickers thru previous purchase. I'm a regular.... anyway, spent the day people watching as well. The fashion nowadays with young Thai girls do not agree w me. The fashion now is those short puffy shorts which are fitted w a band around mid-thigh, and usually in tartan checks. Not a very good fashion item at all. First of all, if you have a well-rounded and fully padded bottom, these pants would make you look like you have a tartan hot-air balloon about to take off from your bottom end. Then if you're one of those super skinny girls, then wearing these pants would just end up in greater puffiness and besides looking like a Scottish bagpipe occasionally leaking air, there is so much space in front , you actually end up looking like you have a dick. And a big one at that. And this is in a country where a womanly-looking dick-possessing person is quite a regular sight (we call them katoeys, pre-op), you can be sure plenty of people will be playing the guessing game each time you walk past.

And then the fashion with the headbands....gosh...headbands are ok. I'm into using headbands as well cos I have that Aaron-Kwok-in-his-teenage-years-floppy-do fringe going on and it's kinda irritating to peer through the gaps all the time so headbands are practical, and kinda pretty. But the newest ones on fashion here are the white lacy kind (which is still ok) but you're supposed to loop the lace around your head and end it with a butterfly knot at the top of your head, or slightly to the side. I think no matter where is knot is, if it's in sight, it's damn ugly. You look like a cartoonist's way of separating the males from the females. You know...how you can tell cartoon characters by their sex is by the ribbon on the head. It's like Minnie Mouse with lace. Not agreeable with me at all.

Might be going to Bangkok next month!! Still keeping my fingers crossed....got dropped out of the Russian plan cos air tickets cost a bomb and it's difficult for me to get a Russian visa here. My boss is now panicking cos she doesn't want to be alone in Russia...what with the Russian mob and the terrorists etc.... Sigh...too bad.... I really really really wanted to go as well. Have to make do with Bangkok for now.
