I give you...

HEAVEN above Sukhumvit~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!




(*mouth agape... totally speechless...*)

Everybody~!! Say it together with me now:

WOOOOOOOOOOW~~~~~~~!!!


**************************************************************


I was walking in Sukhumvit 26 when I noticed that
the traffic was heavier than usual... People on the road were just s-l-o-w-e-r coz they were WATCHING something.

Intrigued, I quickened my pace and found this:



That's right. It was a huge group of pasty-skinned, casually-dressed farangs milling around, with seemingly NOTHING to do.

You'd think that after HUNDREDS of MIL
LIONS of pasty-skinned, casually-dressed farang visitors visited the Land of Smile, the locals would be used to seeing 'em around.

But I guess just not with THIS group size.

Look what I found parked in front of a Japanese restaurant near Sukhumvit 24:














I guess someone's REALLY HOT for Doraemon~!!

Blog EntryA Conversation With A TAXI Driver (PART 7)Aug 4, '08 12:02 AM
for everyone
So there I was in a TAXI on a sunny day inside Sukhumvit 24.

My driver this time was a man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties, with closely-cropped hair.


When we passed a high-end pet specialty store, the driver said to me, "Nhu, nhu... look at that dog fashion shop~!! Even dogs have better clothes than humans~!! Ha! Ha! Ha!" he guffawed, somehow finding the whole situation comical.

"Oh, I used to have a poodle before who hated wearing clothes," I told him.

"That's good, it's cheaper," he nodded. "My dog actually likes wearing clothes~!!" he laughed again. "Guess how much a dog dress costs~!!"

I was about to open my mouth and guess a price, but was beaten to the punch. "150 baht~!!!" the driver exclaimed. "150 baht~!! I can have a nice dinner already with 150 baht~!! HAHAHAHAAAA~~~!!!" he laughed heartily.

"But y'know, my family takes our dog everywhere we go," he continued, "even up North, when we go to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai~!!"

"Reeeeeeally~~??" I exclaimed.

"Yeap," he said. "Even to the Doi Suthep Temple
(pictured below left). See, dogs aren't allowed to ride the cable car up to the temple, so we tell him to go up the stairs (pictured below right) and wait for us there."















"WOW, so smart~!!!"
I commented, and the driver giggled happily (I could tell the man was a true dog-lover~!!).


"And you know what, soooo... many people really like our dog, he's popular everywhere~!!" he claimed.

"But you know what's funny?" he asked.

"What is it?" I asked back.

"My dog hates farangs~!!!! HAHAHAHAAA~~~~!!!!" he laughed uproariously. "Farangs always think he's so cute and want to play with him, but he doesn't even let them touch him~!!"

"Oh, how come~??" I asked him.

"Hmmmm... I myself don't know," he said, shaking his head. "Maybe...  farangs just smell different~~!!! BWAHAHAHAHAAAA~~~!!!!" he laughed like hell, slapping his thighs.

VideoTemporary Sukhumvit Lake (*glub glub*)Jun 30, '08 4:57 PM
for everyone
One particular GHASTLY thunderstorm turned Sukhumvit 39 and 49 into one friggin' LAKE.

I was lucky I was inside a van, so I managed to keep my feet (and everything else~!!) dry.

Others who weren't so fortunate had to wade in water that reached up to the calf.
Eeeeeeeuu
uuw~~~ Who knows WHAT was in the murky liquid~?!

This restaurant deeper in Sukhumvit 39 was prepared...
It actually had SAND BAGS~!! Wahahahaaaaa~~~!!!!



The thing is... considering that both Sukhumvit 39 and 49 are where a whole bunch of moneyed Japanese expats stay, I think it's just SCANDALOUS that the sois are left to gurgle and rot in so much H2O, when other parts of Sukhumvit drain better~!!













Look at this: This was Thonglo (Sukhumvit 55) a few hours after the thunderstorm stopped. The road was DRY~~!!!


OK, so the traffic was hellish, but hey, this is SUKHUMVIT~~!!!

Compare THAT with this VDO clip of Sukhumvit 39 which I recorded from the van... You'll see that the water actually reached until the pavement~!! There were actually W~A~V~E~S on this Sukhumvit lake~~~!!!! *squeaaaaaaal*

VideoBangkok Police Laugh TrainingJun 25, '08 12:26 AM
for everyone
The Thai police have consistently scored high on the "Most Hated" list - out of all the branches of the Thai government, people see them as the dirtiest and most corrupt (the Customs Department has the dubious honors of usually being second place).

It brings to mind a group of traffic police officers stopping motorists (RE
AD: suckaz) on Sukhumvit Road and extorting an x amount of baht to supplement their pocket money.

With this kind of not-so-glowing reputation, what can one do about it, except maybe LAUGH~??

Blog EntrySukhumvit POP Quiz: Name That Dara~!!Jun 24, '08 3:00 AM
for everyone
Anyone knows the name of this dara (star)~?? I met him in Thonglo (Sukhumvit 55) and even asked for his autograph and pic, but I "conveniently forgot" to ask for his name~~!!! KYAAAAAA~~!!


All I remember was I saw his film before on TV (I forgot whether it was HBO or Cinemax or whatever)... I was flipping channels and came across some Thai movie about giant killer crocodiles terrorizing the population on some Thai beach paradise... The weird thing was... Everybody in the film spoke English~!! Even the locals... and the police officers~!!

This dara played the bad guy... some gre
edy real estate guy who also got torn apart by one of the vicious crocs...

********************

SSS to dara: You played in some crocodile movie, right~??


Dara: Oh, that movie was HORRIBLE~~!!!!


Dara's friend: Which movie was this~??

SSS: A Thai movie about giant killer crocodiles... They
escaped from some zoo and ate a lot of humans...

Dara (quickly changing the subject): So, which school did you go to here in Bangkok~??

SSS: RIS.

Dara's friend: I went to ISB.

SSS: Gasp~!! You guys are the enemy~!!

Dara's friend: Hahahahaaaa...

SSS: We used to be so jealous of you guys... Coz you guys didn't have to wear uniform...

Dara's friend: Hahahahaaaa...

Dara (giving SSS the autograph on paper): Thank you for watching my horrible movie (*snicker*)

SSS: Oh, it was actually great entertai
nment~!!

********************

It's been over a week now... and I'm STILL racking my brain for dear dara's name~~~!!!! And I can't even GUESS by looking at the signature~~!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGHHH~~~~!!!

HELP, please~~??

Besides the weird English grammar ("NO! BRA"), I guess the bar owner's not very subtle, huh~??

Check out the talons on this TAXI driver:



Anyone who dares to snicker/call him a fairy/ask him to help with luggage will have their eyes gouged out~!!

Another distraction found in a TAXI in Sukhumvit:



I love you, too, dude~!! *sniff*

**************************************************************

This one's SO cool.
I was walking in Sukhumvit 26 late at night, when I came across a very colorful bus parked next the pavement, blasting Isaan music:



Did you notice that some of the drawings were painted using reflective paint~?! CHECK OUT THAT FIERCE DRAGON~~!!!! *YOWZA~!!*


**************************************************************

Stumbled across THIS motorcycle after a late dinner in Sukhumvit 33:




Looks pretty normal, eh~?? That is, until you look closely at the "decor" below the driver's seat:



Why the bandaged middle finger~?? WTF~?!

Blog EntryFrom the deepest part of my heart (NOT~!!)Jun 5, '08 2:30 AM
for everyone

1). If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

* Wait 'til the bastard's fast asleep (*sleeping pills cough cough*), then proceed to cut off his willy, chop it into teeny tiny lil' pieces, then spread 'em out for the soi dogs to feast on - waste not, want not~!!

2). What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

* Like ripping off a Band-Aid from skin - the more speed, the less pain~!!

3). Do you find yourself cheating on your loved one?

* I'm a Virgo. Virgos are very loyal (or at least they're supposed to be. HAH~!!). Besides, Virgos are also paranoid about germs. I can't have multiple partners coz cooties are, like, so NOT hot.

4). Would you rather have your ex replace you with someone more beautiful or uglier than you?

* There's NO ONE more beautiful than me. The whole question's moot.

5). What's your ideal partner like?

* Good looking, of coz. This comes first - and I don't give a rat's ass about those bleedin' hearts who claim, "Personality is MOST important~!!" Hell, if I'm gonna be lookin' at somebody's mug for the rest of my life, every single day, this person's looks should at least make my eyes HAPPY~!!

* Ambitious - if we're just starting to go out and he's making less than what I make right now is fine. But if the lazy-ass loser has no ambition whatsoever to increase his earnings... then WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

* Loyal - coz, like, cooties are so NOT hot. Oh, and I haven't met any man who wanna part with his willy just yet.

* Funny - life is serious enough. We all need a good laugh now and then.

6). What are the three things that you want most right now?

* A ping-pong set (table, net, ball, rackets), a pair of totally impractical Manolos (Jimmy Choos or Louboutins will also do~!!) and another blingin' right-hand ring~~!!!!!!

7). Who would you kill right now?

* That brave (but dumb) cockroach who dared to cross my path on Sukhumvit.

8). If the person you like is already attached, what would you do?

* Watch CNN and feel grateful that there are millions of other people who have bigger problems than me.

9). Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?

* All this friggin' rain sucks big time~!! It worsens the Sukhumvit traffic, it makes my feet wet (UGH) and flattens my fabulous hairdo~!!

10). What do you want most in your life?

* Money, more traveling (which needs money), happiness (closely connected to money), MORE money, more time to do what I want (which can't be achieved without money), and EVEN MORE money.

11). Is being tagged fun?

* Yes, but with all the Sukhumvit stuff desperately trying to come out of my head and into cyberspace, I have such a hard time to fit tag games into my precious blogging time. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if I had more time (if I had more money).

12). If you find out your best friend is going out with your partner, how would you react?

* I've got a two-pronged attack plan. First, I'll do what I've described in number one. Then I'll make sure to steal my so-called 'best friend''s NEXT partner. Revenge is su-weeeeet.

13). Pick a person whose name starts with the letter D and say something about that person.

* Donald Duck. Oh crap, that's not a person. OK, hmmmm... Donald Trump - no amount of money can fix THAT hair.

14). What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

* Very sweet, kind and funny. And maybe just a bit boy-crazy; heh heh~!!

15). What makes you happy right now?

* I just had a late dinner at an Italian restaurant in Sukhumvit 31 called "Bella Napoli". I ate aglio olio pasta and carpaccio pizza~!! YUM : P

16). If you could change your name, what would it be?

* I've always thought the name BIFF is pretty cool.

17). If you were a fruit, what would you be, and why?

* Definitely mango - coz it's DA BEST fruit in the whole universe.

18). What type of friends do you like?

* Funny, independent, unique and a blast to hang out with~!!

19). If you played a prank on someone, and s/he fell for the trick, what would you do?

* Laugh my ass off and make sure EVERYBODY knows this.

20). If you can have one day with a TVXQ member in a deserted island, just the two of you, who would you choose, and why?

* TIME OUT~!! What is it about deserted islands and fantasies~?! Deserted islands SUCK. I hate beaches, I hate getting tanned and I will certainly DIE without aircon. So much for a romantic fantasy.

But OK... back to the topic...

*after googling TVXQ* Hmmmmmmm (*massages chin, deeeeep in thought*)... I'm gonna have to break four other boys' hearts and pick the ethereal-looking vocalist Hero Jejung (Kim Jae Joong), pictured right. WHY? Well, if we're gonna be on a deserted island, at least HE will have a worse sunburn than me~!!

P.S. And just in case y'all wondering, "And WHAT does all this have to do with blogging about Sukhumvit?"... You guessed it... I got tagged... AGAIN.

 

DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE~!!

Blog EntryDear My Dearest ContactsMay 24, '08 4:22 AM
for everyone
This is SO HARD to do.

And it's all becoz of Noel's fault~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For the FIRST time in the history of SSS, I am feeling stuck... This is the reason:

I got tagged... AGAIN.


This time the rules are:

Open a window and view your Multiply contacts. Answer the following categories by leaving descriptions of the HEADSHOT of the person to whom your answer refers to. You can either be
precise or indistinct, leave as short or as much a description as you wish. The person you are pertaining to could be in YOUR OWN contacts list or in somebody else's contacts list as long as you view his/her posts. This is a way of letting that person (whether straight-forwardly or not) how you regard him/her. Lastly, you have to tag at least two people whom you've described in one of the 10 categories.


So here we go... I'm gonna be as cryptic as possible~!! Can you recognize yourselves~?!





1). Favorite contact: time is the essence

2). Person with best comments: oink


3). Person with best blog: LBD

4). Person who posts the best photos: royalty

5). Person who posts the best VDOs: saviors

6). Person you least like: ?

7). Funniest contact: tutti-frutti

8). Sexiest contact: shine and muscles

9). Your crush(es) contact: greeeeen

10). Most admired headshot: kaleidoscopic~!!
