well ... like I said last night ... this ruling dynasty got onto
power on the backs of another man named thaksin a few hundred years
ago .... ironically, he was a half chinese too .... 
in the other news, one of my aunts' in a spot, cos she's booked
a spa holiday in bangkok for next week ....
I got bugged the whole afternoon to help get her a refund ...

My classmate is going on a trip to
Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia/Thailand, and people have been trying to talk
to her out of it lately. We concluded that she should pack just
black, white, pink and green clothes.
