Thailand “MRT” card

If you’ve never seen one before, then this is it.

Interesting… I seem to have accidentally introduced an optical effect where the card looks like its floating off my hand…

Anyway, I took this pic while I was exploring Bangkok on my own after my wife went for a massage with her extended family; I didn’t go as massage is a waste of money on me because I don’t have aches and pains very often, and I don’t feel anything special after a massage. All I did was to explore Siam Square and the entire MBK. MBK is damn big…

Dunkin’ Donuts

I’ve had this craving for Dunkin’ Donuts since the last time I was in the US at Florida with Esh. We passed by quite a few DD outlets but we never stopped by any of them.

This time, on my recent trip to the US, I finally managed to pay a visit to a DD outlet. As with most things where you build the anticipation up to a crescendo, the actual donut was… disappointing. I’ve had better donuts in SG.

Anyway, reproduced here in multi-colour glory is the donut.

No Coach

Went to the US not long ago and one of my friends requested me to buy a Coach bag for him as a gift for his girlfriend. I didn’t do any shopping in San Francisco so I thought I had better drop by one of the outlets in L.A. Unfortunately, the Coach shop was “Coming Soon”…

Guess what?

Woke up one morning and had nothing better to do than to take a shot of the curtains which was catching the light quite nicely…

Aquamarine

We made a trip to Aquamarine to try out the lunch buffet. Had a nice cup of coffee after the stomach-bursting meal.

We were so full that we had to take a walk. While Esh stopped by at Mothercare, her Dad and I brought Lee-Ann to look at the fish in the aquarium

One of the last stops was at Mango. It was quite a challenging day as it was the first time we made use of the pram. I just found out that it was a big challenge to bring a pram down the escalator. I had to struggle a bit, while Esh left the pram behind after unsuccessfully trying to manouevre the pram properly!

Bird’s Nest anyone?

Incredibly, some bird decided to make a hanging nest on one of my grandma’s plants!

After the baby birds were hatched, the birds abandoned the nest. Think my grandma also mentioned that some of the hatchlings were attacked by a crow and it was chased away by her and her maid.
