siam muang yim

i haven't been following much of the politics situation in thailand, or perhaps i should say i don't normally do anyway.. several days back i received a phonecall from home with updates on-the-spot about the coup.. initially no idea of how bad the situation was or would become.. tried to look up some news but there wasn't much detail at that hour.. i guess so many people tried to access media websites, which should explain why i could not seem to access any of them.. but now i heard it has turned out peaceful which is most important.. i'm sure you have seen pictures of kids and pedestrians posing with smiling soldiers (who seems to enjoy photo-taking as well) with big tanks in the background.. this is siam muang-yim jing jing..


i thought this was a good shot of how the situation is going at ease (from manager.co.th).. but then i found a more interesting shot below.. if i didn't read the caption i would have thought the girl is pretty weird hehe.. turned out she was a model on a fashion shoot.. how creative..


and then.. another interesting shot.. no need to describe.. the picture says it all :)

back from the dead

let's say i went on a very busy break.. glad to be back and hopefully will be another fun year ahead.. it feels so long ago last time i wrote something and now i don't know where to start hehe.. it'll take some time to recap on my summer.. plus, it's old stories anyway.. but well, i'm not a big writer.. not that much energy to keep posting stuff.. maybe i'll have to 'ha-kin' with old stories in the end :P

can you not laugh?

even though i don't understand the dialogue in japanese, i still find this so funny!

(to those who know, maybe you can add the subtitle for me? hehe..)
