It's close to the submission date and my personal statement is from bad to worse... i really put an effort to write a proper one but i guess i just do not have a flair for it. either pay someone who is gd in eng to write for me or i am going to copy and paste. so fed up rewriting again and again... I HATE WRITING CAUSE I AM NOT GD AT IT!

Tomorrow is Monday. The dreary feeling seems almost unsurmountable.

Let us be strong and brace ourselves. Argh.

6 more weeks before I'm going to Disneyland, Hong Kong! Super duper excited! Although I dunno if I am excited because of Disneyland or because of the cold weather in Hong Kong. Hahaha!

It will be a cold christmas for me.

Now, i should get my jackets and shawls ready!

Remember this ???

Herodotus has been praised as the "Father of Histories" but also equally DERIDED as "Father of Lies" as his more fantastic stories in his lovely book have often been dismissed as being too far fetched.

but look at what has been uncovered centuries laterrr ...

Yesterday had dinner with my seconday sch / JC frds. It was quite an interesting experience talking with them and sharing their views about life. It is a different click of pple. We talked about career and food. Important stuffs.

Manhattan Fish Market is the venue of our dinner. I ordered this herbal fish dish with garlic rice, that is not as oily as the other fried dishes. And boy, the fish tastes so sweet.



We walked around Suntec City after that, before settling down at Macs to take some desserts.



And and after that I flew to play with Jem, Fred, Glenn, Jimmy Ang, Bernard (isthathisname?) etc. Wheeee. Hhaha it was quite fun. Drank beer at Maxwell (cut cost) and then went into the club. Forgot what else the rest ordered, but I thought it was quite pure mayhem to drink so much! Gosh. Dancinnngggg to the music, and soaking in the sight of the people around. Many investment grade ones. Hahhaha

I love those very groovy and sensual songs played. AJ songs? haha. Ok it is not good to categorise them. But yeah it was fun.

In the club I was thinking about the importance pple placed in looks. Indeed looks is not everything, but it is sure important isn't it?

Below are some cam-whore pics that Fred and I took the night before, after drinks at clarke quay. I just thought Fred looks so pinchable here. Hahahahaha




Wheeeee.

The annual Rocket festival which is celebrated at the start of the rainy season involves the women a lot more. They have much more license to perform, even the older women, sometimes in quite bawdy ways.

Having promised to be more regular in my updates I find myself reading other peoples entries but still out of the habit of writing my own. So this week I will plead the "boring" defense. That is I did nothing particularly interesting.

I finished up at the VT at the end of last month for a while. I plan to go back early in December when the SEA Games start. Since I have got the internet at home now I spend a lot of time having some quality surfing time.

I have also gone back to day trading as a way to make some money. I don't trade that much, the connection is too slow to be a really serious trader but this week I have made a couple of hundred dollars. I'm reinvesting all the time so it doesn't actually give me any money to spend but maybe in a couple of months there will be enough surplus to take the edge off my cost of living.

Then there is "Wonder Boy". He went out to the shops a couple of days ago and I haven't seen him since. This is not cute anymore.

There is a room free in my house so I had Vone painting and cleaning it up. I hope I can find someone soon to fill it or I will have to pay the rent.

The other people in the house wanted to keep the "maibaan" (maid/cleaner) on after the landlord stopped paying her so it is costing us all another $20 a month each. Even though she only spends about 2 hours a day cleaning, it is kinda nice to have someone pick up and cleanup after us all. It saves all those arguments about who left all the dirty dishes in the sink.

The guys down at "Tam Chai Deu" are really sweet. They cannot possibly be making any money but they are having fun. I think the manager has a secret "patron" somewhere funding things. They have built right next to one of Vientiane's most exclusive Boutique Hotels and resturants. Not surprisingly they constantly get complaints about the loud music.

I notice that the music has become a lot more gentle, at least during the day when I go. I suspect they will have to change their target market before much longer. They have really chosen a silly place for a disco, nightclub. They cannot attract a young Laos or even the backpacker crowd and the middle-age, middle class tourists all prefer to go next door and pay three times the price for the same beer or coffee.



Boy Wonder helped with painting one day. "Never do" he says. I have not seen him since
