Am I a Sucker for being good
Sigh... good people never have good ending! So am I a sucker for being good? Well, it does seem so to me! The things I do for people end up being stupid myself! People think otherwise and jump into conclusion that I am "the bad" guy. Sigh... at times like this, I wish to give up trying so hard to fight the battle. Fighting a loosing battle seems so discouraging. What can I say?

Trip to Bangkok
After 2 years or may be more of not travelling, I thought this time would plan ahead and make this trip a fruitful on. 
Bangkok have always been known for the cheap shopping and eating. Sigh... but this time round I think otherwise. I bring a my son to Bangkok for the first time. It was his first trip away from home and thought it would be fun for him. Yeah it sure fun for him but HELL for me coz he keep on disobedient; running around and not wanting to hold hands. Sigh... frastration .... and my older girl didn't help to ease the pain. Instead create more frastration then ever. Arghhhhh...
Ok I thought of buying and buying ... but end up shopping and shopping and never bought much. Why? Things there isn't all that cheap! May be a dollar or two cheaper then where I am staying but not like really dirt cheap where I can buy many back. Sigh... disappointed ... Still, thought I can enjoy tons of good food but miss the Thai seafood in which I didn't get to. The one which we used to go to, have gone ka putt (run out of business). However, we did enjoy the Japanese food and other food at MBK especially the fish maw soup. Yum ... yum...
Next time go there again? I'd think twice.
What is popular this time is handbags! Kids clothes.... don't ever think you can find it in Pratunam nor much at all in Pa Pong. MBK, more baby clothes then todler clothes and still not as cheap but compare with Pa Pong, MBK may be a place to consider buying from in the end. Went to R&D Fashion at the City Complex at Pratunam thinking of buying a nice dress for myself but there ain't any I like and disappointed, they hardly have any dresses in their shop there too :(.

Charity comes with a fixed price
Recently I bump into a sales person, not sure if you'd call her a sales person for charity, but she was stopping people on the roads to introduce heart disease and stroke is the number 1 killer statistics.
Anyway, as the story goes, I told her to cut to the chase and tell me what she needs as I have no patience nor time to hear their story and she did. She is asking for me to donate some money. Then, I say ok.. but I can only donate $10.00 coz that is my budget and finally everything came out. The Truth! How irony is that! She say.. most people would donate on a yearly basis and at a FIXED PRICE! I like HAR! Then I say Sorry I can't do that... economy bad .. jobs not fixed... if no money how to pay charity.. I can't stop charity payment right? Then she say yes you can't stop the payment and I say No. What make me write this blog is.. what is happening to this world? You need the money and I gave what I can afford to you but you have a fixed price I have to follow? This is absurd. I may understand that you are trying to raise a certain amount but making it fixed price is juse too absurd for a charity organization. Plus, at a economy bad time, people are stringent about their money. Really funny how charity have come with a fixed price.
