What exactly have i done?

CS FOC.
cool shite. Shan't elaborate. Didn't really get to know any jnrs. But i got to know alot of pple whom i see ard often but neva got a chance to speak to. Nice job there by the organising comm i guess.

CO Bbq.
Mahjong. Bridge. Laughing. Hiding under a table. If only i didn't sign up for FOC i would have been able to go for all 3 days. Humph! But i got a dip in the pool. i'm contented.

Bkk.
I learnt how to speak Thai. Ratchathewi. Ratchademri. Siam. Phaya Thai.
Nah, kidding. Those are the names of their BTS skytrain stations, but i'm proud to say i can pronounce them properly! Took the mrt, the public boat, the taxi, the airport bus ard too but din manage to try the tuk-tuks. But someone called them the "motorcycle-thing". So i guess there's nth much to it except i'll be inhaling loads of exhaust fumes along the way. I took an interesting photo of a police booth. I named it campbell soup! Check out my display pic if u're interested.
Being in a foreign land where you can't communicate with the majority is quite an experience. Times like this when all the games of charades during camps pay off. Actually it's not difficult getting around Bkk cos u're in the central and a higher chance that u will get someone who can understand abit of what u're saying plus the pple there are friendly.
Seems like the whole world went/is going to Bkk. I actually met 2 of my frens at seperate locations on the same day. One of which, pointed at me and gave a huge laughter when he saw me. Said he didn't expect to see anyone here. I was sulking, thus was abit taken aback by his outburst. "Tts nice," I thought. It's a small world after all.
Went to the King's Palace. It would have looked perfect if not for all the restoration work going on. Ruined my pictures of the temples and monuments. =(
Caught the Calypso Cabaret show. They look so real apart frm the thick makeup. I've been thinking it's easier to become a girl than to become a guy, for reasons i shall not elaborate over here. Some of them do look quite gorgeous, and that figure. Woowheet.
Went to the Chatuchak Weekend market, famous Mah Boon Krong (MBK), some night market which i forgot the name and Patpong night market to shop. Didn't buy much though.
Caught a glimpse of Go-go girls doing their bartop dances while walking along Patpong mkt and many, I mean MANY, pple hawking their "live shows" and Dvds if u know wad i mean.
Overall... It was good to be able to go abroad after so long and experience something new.

Can't remember anything major b4 this... Brain drain.
Moving back to hall should be the next major event...
