T!me to upload my hideout in BKK, Centrepoint...

yup, time to upload some photos of my 'den' in BKK, which is a well kept place, tidy, cosy and a happening place as well.. did not manage to snap much photos though..

for starters, the serviced apartment is called Centrepoint, Silom (my den)... its located in Charoenkrung Rd, where the mighty Chao Phraya river is just a stone throw away.. BTS station is withing walking distance (which is my main transport to office btw...). All this while, i hv stayed in 1102, 1802, 1002... that is fyi is a studio room which i hv quite a few roomates: Chuan, CLK, Sunny, Stanley... all nice fellas... oh and for the record, my last roomate is CLK, who he hv the most roomates than any other Silverlakers...!! haha..

here are some pics of the serviced apt... not much though..

CulTural Sh0ooo0o0ck

come lets see... what to post today... well why not what i hv been thinking lately..? u are not gonna believe it.. i hv the feelings just like what my previous roommate, Sunny had said... Cultural Shock is the term he coined... he describes it as a feeling of 'shock' when he needs to leave BKK for KL.. now, is how i feel, cultural shock... haha

of course, i felt it... i think i hv mentioned the difference in another blog, that living in BKK is pretty nice (tons better) than KL... keke.. free & easy kinda lifestyle, less rush & less hectic.. there is cheap good coffee (not like the ever expensive Coffee Bean etc)... enjoyable lunchtime... great nite life, great table tennis opponents, warm & cosy service apartment, with lotsa friendly people, lotsa taxi rides (toyota altis) that wont cheat (KL cab drivers tends to)..... no more tomyam, tom sap, somtum, no more fried rice (chicken, pork, prawn, fish), no more 'kao lao'

apart frm Singapore which i hv visited, BKK would be the best destination in my travel list.. hehe, lets just say, make a vow to visit BKK when there is time... hmm, gotta gather money and maybe an army of friends to visit BKK next time... its a place to free our minds, as i would say... i just love Fridays in BKK... hehe last day of work.. there is relieve when the clock strucks 6pm, knowing that that is the end of the work day...

working is boring.. lol, did i just said boring..?! well i guess alot of people might agree with me.. ya, i can read your minds.. u fellas just have to agree with me.. sigh

Party People, It's Friday Nite... signing off now...

Rain rain rain rain...

sigh, rain rain rain... i wonder if the words 'Rain rain go away...' ever carries anything magical... ? i will it ever come true in a few minutes after uttering those words..? haha, i guess not.. well it is very dark & cloudy for the past few days in KL... the worse thing about the rain is, it brings flood back to Johor again... some of the roads are reported caved in and some residents are completely cut off from receiving aids.... and it is raining in KL too... lolx, great nite for sleeping... cool and relaxing....

Reopening of Don Muang airport

According to Bangkok Post's latest news, there is a possibility that Don Muang will be re-open....wow great news, as I myself prefer the good ol Don Muang.. Don Muang hv all the facilities and good lighting condition as compared to Suvarnabhumi, which is quite dull & dim.. it is not to say that Suvarnabhumi is not well equipped, but the layout of the shops in unbearable.. there is not once but twice, i hv to walk frm one end to the other end of the building, juz to get to my terminal (somewhere at gate G), and it takes me 10 minutes to get there..!!!

one of my colleague even said

at nite, cant see when im in the waitin hall.. dark and cold.. can sleep man..

see the floor all crack..
i remember cos there is once the trolley wheel get stuck in the hole..

terrible terrible... now it makes me think, why does our government does not approve the use of Subang Airport as a low cost carrier terminal..?!?!?!

why build a brand new LCCT that looks more of a factory than an airport terminal...!?! LCCT really sux... insufficient chairs, packed & crowded, even the immigration counters is not enough... tell us, its compulsory to change to smart passport, with juz 2 autogates to serve us... wtf...?!?! oh ya, not to mention abt the service conveyor belt that brings out the luggage frm the airplane... can u imagine hving JUST 3 of those belts...!?!? shuttle bus service frm LCCT-KLIA sux toooooo...!?!

expected to handle millions passengers a year..juz dream on, with kinda shitty facilities, im sure it will generate lots of complain frm foreign tourist... well i just did..!

My work space...

Yep, this is my tiny workspace... juz hv a glimpse

iPhone, not my phone...

One word to describe it... Just amazing and cool.. Yes, Apple have just launch their latest gadget, the iPhone recently at the Macworld 2007.. The ever successful iPod have captured the attention and hearts of many music lovers around the world, and now with the iPhone, it is gonna take the world by storm yet again...

It is a wonderful & a design marvel... this thing does not have any keypad and a stylus for input... the main display is the touch screen by itself... it have a 2MP camera, with a choice of 4GB or 8GB storage space, WiFi capability, quadband GSM.... it is just great...!! but there is a catch though... this wonder does not support 3G... gosh, it doesnt..? yeah it does not, so basically it is a 2.5G phone...oh oh oh, yeah, one more coooool stuff abt the iPhone... it hv a feature called 'Pinch' zooming..

here is the link to the 'Pinch' featureTo preview the feature of 'Pinch', click here

New Office.... 2007..!!

Hmm, too many blog sites to maintain nowadays, although im not an avid blogger, jus write smthing when i feel there is a need to.. yep, i hv just started one in MSN Space... nvr knew that there is one in MSN before this.. lolx, not much of a MSN Hotmail user since it's mailbox is juz 2MB back in 2000...

anyway, first few days in new company is quite boring... juz read documents... phew... lets describe abt the office environment.. small, quite (sometimes if there is no discussion), with cubicles (which is not available in Siamlife office & Silverlake).... yep, there is no desktop, but laptop.... so everyone here is using a laptop... and we have to carry it back home... luckily its a small laptop, 12 inches wide.. but im not used to such small displays.. fonts are way too small to read at... why not a 14 inch display? hehe cant complain so much as it is a Latitude D420... hv to get on with it anyway...

^_^

oh, too bad, i missed the bangkok lifestyle... haha lolx... everything is different... food, people, lifestyle, cheaper coffee, no side walk traders in KL, oh oh oh and not many leng luis to look at too... lolx hahahaha... now that is the difference...!!!!!!

anway, im looking forward to visit BKK real soon... and hope those people responsible for the New Year Eve bombing in BKK will be caught and brought to justice... let there be peace and prosperity for all...!!!!
