I think there must be a reason that I have to cry myself to sleep for the last 3 nights. Something bad happened? Maybe not...Maybe yes. Or perchance, I'm just afraid of the things I don't know it's coming. That's why I like to plan so I have visibility more or less and know where I am leading to.
What am I doing? In 8-week time, I'm going to Australia with work and holiday visa. WHV is not an ideal that I originally hoped for. But sth told me I am destined to be there again somehow. Moreover, I want a journey round the globe. I just feel that this is the time to stay away from Thailand for LONG period. I don't know why I feel this way but I feel it. And I only hope that I didn't misunderstand the signs or make the wrong decision. And I don't know the answer.
Unpredictability is fun and makes life more adventurous and exciting. Surprise is good as long as it's not a bad one LOL My ankles are tied with a Bungy Jump's rope but I'm hesitated to jump!! Oh dear!

China Town at night
China Town during night time. A lot of street stalls along the road.On Friday, I went to see Ploy, my best friend, who came to work in Bangkok for a special event. Ploy also called her boyfriend, Colin to meet up with me too. Then, we had dinner together. It was pretty delicious noodles. We also tried fresh Som Cheng juice too. Sorry I don't know the word in English it's a kind of orange. I really like it. After that, we had crispy bread at a street stall. This type of recipe is new for me but I like it. I hope it can be bought everywhere :-d
I just realised this is the first time I go to China Town at night so I took some photos for good memory.
The noodle stall we waited for the loooooooong queue
From left, Colin, Ploy and me.
Every seats are occupied
Crispy bread with peanut butter and sweet condensed milk.

New TV on sales!
This is still my blog not e-bay lol but because you are my friends, I would like to offer these to you first.
I would like to see a 20" Sony Bravia LCD Television at 10K baht (GBP 200 or US$ 286) with a free Samsung DVD Player.
Both are new for about 2 months old and 1 month old respectively. I have never used it. I haven't even had a peek inside the packaging! In total, they're worth about 14,500 baht. But you can get both of them at 10,000 baht!
If you are interested, you know how to contact me, comment, email, call, etc. Thank you for helping me to sell them too. *hugs*

My dayoffs
I have calculated my dayoffs before I resign from the company. HR said it would be prorate. Does this mean if I take all quota of my dayoffs 12 days + 2.5 days carryover and 1 day compensation leave, my salary will be deducted? I doubt it and I think I have to check again.
However, I know the department I work for need me to guide a new comer if they can get one in time. But worse, if they don't get one in time, it's me who has to manage the operations work to make sure things can go on.
I have sympathy but to be honest, I'm not in the mood of working really. However, I have been approved for my dayoffs. So far, I only take up to the prorate calculation equal 7.5 days!
Monday 23rd March: I will have a long weekend away with my brothers to Koh Chang (Elephant Islands) hopefully. So I have to check out the accommodation soon!!
16-17 April: FYI 13-15 April is Songkran Festival or Thailand's New Year! So during 11-15 April, I and my friends will be spending my backpack life in Surin Maritime National Park to explore the best snorkeling site in the country.
After that I will spend my time alone in Phuket and meet my friend who now owns a small diving school. Of course, I will take an advance diving course here on 17-18 April and return to BKK on 19 April either by bus or by plane.
24-30 April: My last week in Thailand will be dedicated to my liveaboard diving trip to South Andaman during 25-28 April. Back to BKK on 28th's evening or so
29 April: Repack again after a diving trip...have dinner with family.
30 April: At night fly to Australia!
And that's all my plans....Told you I'm a natural planner! hahaha
1 May: Arrive at Sydney. Then, my planning skill will be buried for a while.....

The result is out!
Finally after a while of waiting ....not very long. The result of Top 50 candidates for The Best Job in the World has been announced.
I'm a little disappointed. I know it's too hard to be 1 in a million (actually it's about 34,000+ applicants) but for being in top 50, you never know! I think I have a bit of a slight chance! lol But in the real world, I'm not in it!! How come??!! It shouldn't be surprised, should it? hahaha :-P
I checked a few of top 50's video and some of them are not that great but some are GREAT! Anyway, maybe my presentation is not good enough or they don't see the potential in me (which is a very important part) so I missed it. Nothing to regret but no more daydream! Sigh!
I have to find NOT the best job in the world instead. Hopefully I can get one and I will enjoy it.
Thank you for all of your votes. It means a lot to me and I'm so thankful.
Love
Namrin

Rockaholic Party
This is the company New Year's party. On 27th Feb? It's quite late I know but that's the way we do.
Yeah! I won the lucky draw! Not the first prize this time but at least I won sth. And that thing is....I don't remember, haha. I think I won DVD player but my workmate said I won a gift voucher of value 1500 baht. Are we in the same party? LOL The prize can be picked up at HR department on Monday so I'll let you know again just in case you wonder...don't you?
I was assigned to perform a dance of "Single Ladies" Yes I am single! But that's not reason why I was picked up. For the dance, don't talk about synchronisation. We had about 7 working days to practise and I think what we did was close to a miracle. The song is very fast with no repetitive movement!!! Anyway, in my opinion, the performance went fairly well. People were really surprised to see our dance (like the 2nd Beyonce'). They screamed and whistled and they even screamed more when they saw the surprise during the show. I have just uploaded the video into the links at the bottom of this writing. Hopefully this is the way to entertain you in more practical way:-D Anyway, pls be patient when it's downloading.
You can check out the real Beyonce, Single Ladies here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZn8o0oc4FE
This is the real Wonder Girl, a Korean girl band (CPD team won) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqtzQkoJS_k
You can check out the photo here. I ended up dancing for another 2 hours-ish at the end of the party.
By the way, I'd like to post me and my most favourite man in the company... just for the sake I have admired him for years, I'll be leaving the company soon and may not see him again...sob sob...:'(

Not easy to be pretty!
I often say this phrase to my friends "It's not easy to be pretty" and I'm not talking about myself but for most of girls. The more you have to take care of yourself, the more burden you have. However, some people love to have this burden and I have a few friends who call themselves as beauty gurus or beauty experts. I have to say I find their information is interesting and sometimes amazed me but I'm not a kind of girl who always enjoys girly conversation. I don't know what made me so but that's me. lol
These photos are about 2 weeks after the hair testing. I have to mention it is fashionable colour so it is supposed to be permanent colour on your head and so, some of our friends' heads are changed...including mine! My blue fringe turned to grey. The lesson from this story is that try to stick with your natural hair colour is the best hahaha!
See? My fringe turns grey!! :'( But the red is still red!
For my friend who picked orange, it works and lasts longer than the others. Lesson #1 Orange and red stay longer with Asian hair (Brown/Black hair colour)
Lesson #2, if you're not happy with the result, you dyed your hair to your natural colour! lol
Lesson #3 Pink doesn't well at all...it finally turns blonde or the become the colour of your hair after you bleached (like mine)
Lesson #4 When the fasionable colour is not obvious, you can actually live with it. It doesn't hurt your look. You just only feel that you pay for nothing (not outstanding change). But this is test so it's free lol.
Presenter #1
Presenter #2
Lesson #4, think twice if you are a guy and you want to die your hair to deep blue. The colour will run out after 5 washes or so and then, your hair become grey....like they are real grey hair!! Oh no!!
Lesson #5, when you are not happy with your pink, you can change it to blue or red or whatever but the result are lesson #1-4, hehe!
Lesson #6. This is presented to you by L'Oreal Professional hair testing :-D!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I think I have to be as prolific as possible during this time. I'm thinking about posting my emails I used to send to some friends in the past on here! Probably one story or even 2 per day. Now for those who missed to catch up with me, you will get the idea now what I have been up to.
Because they are good old things, you need to google back to 2007 and 2008 in the content section in the column on your left hand side. I'm not sure whether I have kept any of my writing in 2004-2006 if I have, I will post them too. And if you still have those emails, pls feel free to forward to me. You know my email address.
Love is all around. I don't feel it, unfortunately but I know it's there somewhere, isn't it? Anyway, I'm good!
