And now I know what a civil court looks like!!!
Bloody hell. Walking around there sure made me feel like a one big criminal.
I didn't make it inside the court though. My lawyer suggested I and my (still.. but not so much longer) mate not to be seen there so that we wouldn't be forced to settle a payment plan in front of the judge.
But I think my lawyer is a little ting tong. When we were on our way to the court, he said that if it were him, he would fight against the bank and he would likely win and walk without paying a satang. WHAT THE FCUK?!? DO YOU THINK I'M THE FIRST ONE THEY'RE SUING?!?
I ain't gonna fight against no bank!
My (still.. but not so much longer) mate will have to pay for whatever she's fucked up. No running away. No ignoring. No nothing. She fucked it up, she is paying for it.
She might be fucking my life up better than I've managed to fuck my own up myself. But if I'm going down, I'll take her with me.
I can use some company.

New experience's coming up
It's been like... forever since I last updated my blog. It was a very busy week at work.
The client from the UK was in the office all week. My Aussie boss was flying out of the country. Lots and lots of problems to solve from different probjects in different countries. Email server was down for a few days. I and my boss felt totally lost without our emails.
Tad busy indeed.
It's now Sunday night. And actually, I'm supposed to make an early night. But I've got a lot on my mind. I'm going to have a brand new experience tomorrow morning.
I have to go to the court. I'm being sued. A thank you note goes to my (still.. but not for long) friend of over 10 years. She's managed to screw up my life big time. And so... tomorrow... my very first time in a court.
I just hope she won't talk out of her arse. If she does, I'll be officially screwed for about 13 years.

Long weekend again..
Not!!
I'll have to work on Monday even though it's a public holiday.
A lot of my foreign friends keep asking me, every time there is a public holiday in sight, that "Just how many bloody holidays have you guys got here in a year? Do you ever work?"
Well, yeah, we have a lot of public holidays. And we do work - when we can be arsed, that is. :D
It wasn't a bad week at work. I went to a seminar with my boss and five spa therapists on Wednesday. Fascinating. I'll write about that one later.
I spent the rest of the week getting everything ready for a client's visit next week.
We had quite a few good laughs today in the office. Well, my sense of humour is not bad at all. And my boss's is pretty good too (Bless him. He's an Aussie, remember?). That's what I love about working here.
After work (off late as usual), I went to Dubliner. It's Lee's last night at work before his one month holiday in the US. I was sitting there by myself for nearly two hours. And my friends started walking in.
Lee & Me
I managed to get my former The One (or he still is?) to come over. I didn't occupy him all the time though. We are friends now - even though I just trashed him and called him an arse about two weeks ago.
I also managed to get a German nutter to come over too. He really is a nutcase. Hahaha.
I had a really nice chat with my former The One (or he still is?). He really liked my outfit today. Well, a bit conservative, but nice - as it's my office attire. He couldn't stop saying how good I looked in it - without my tits hanging out. He actually made physical contacts too. A Thank You note goes to all alcohol he had consumed all evening. Hahaha.
So, yeah, it was a very lovely evening. Even though I'm getting a bit lonely now knowing that Lee will be away for a whole bloody month. What am I going to do after work now?

Life is just NEVER the same
After the attack.. life is just never the same.
Probably for the better.
Now, I am more aware of actions around me. Much more.
Everytime there is a sudden movement near me, my guard is automatically up. I always look over my shoulder when I hear someone walking behind me.
I've changed where to dump my car in the morning. Different spot, but still not too far from the old one. This new spot requires much shorter walk, although very dark in that soi.
Tonight, when I was on my way back from the pub, I was walking around Victory Monument. It's about 10:30PM. There were still lots of people there. And then, I noticed four Thai men in uniforms. I can't tell which department. But they're in uniforms. One of them turned to stare at me first. And then the rest did the same. So, now I had four men staring at me. They did scare the shit out of me.
Then, when I was at the top of the soi where I parked my car, I checked it out and it was pitch black in that soi. So, I was standing on the main road searching for my car keys. All that time, there was a taxi parking and waiting to see if I was going to hop on (I think). When I found my keys, I started walking quickly down the soi to get my car - looking over my shoulder all the time. There was a tiny apartment on the way. There were a couple of people watching TV at the entrance. And I rushed to my car. Got in and locked the door.
Once I was safe in my car, I noticed there was a taxi coming in. The taxi came in to open area where I parked my car. He turned his car and got out of the soi.
That's odd.
There was totally nothing in that soi. Just a space where people could dump their cars. (There was a restaurant there before, but it's gone now)
So, I started my car and followed the taxi out of the soi. There was still nothing. There were no signs of him dropping any passengers off. Those people that were watching TV were still in the same spots. And it's a very short soi. He just drove in and turned his car and drove out?
Yet another scary trip back home!!!

Life ain't easy eh?
It's not.
It's been a very odd week indeed. Everything was just odd.
I went to work on Monday like I should. I got everything done getting ready for my boss's trip down to Phi Phi island for a few days. And I went down to the pub to meet a few friends.
There was some shite going on. Not too long, I found myself yelling at Cameron as he wasn't listening to me.
I came home late as usual. While I was walking down the main road in Muang Thong Thani to get my car, I got a stalker. And he attacked me from behind.
And life is never the same.
But life goes on. Even though it's never the same.
I was still shaking the next morning. So, I texted my boss to get a permission to take that morning off. He was just about to board the plane, I think. He was really supportive.
After the situation, it's been odd. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I don't know what to wear. I don't know where to park my car. I just can't travel via the same route ever again.
All my friends and colleagues have been totally supportive. I wasn't really looking for sympathy or Oh-You-Poor-Thing-Come-Cry-On-My-Shoulder thing. I just wanted someone to talk to me and help me get through all this by saying nothing at all. Well, except good advices on how to protect myself.
I've got so many useful advices so this shall never happen to me again.
Me, Cameron and Ta
Anyway, my friend, Cameron, is flying out to the UK tonight. Well, early hours of Sunday. And we're having a farewell party tonight.
Me, Stephan and Ta (One of the loveliest couples I've ever met)
I know you'll get to read this, Cameron...
Despite all the headache and annoyance, you are still a friend. And I wish you all the best. I hope you will find whatever suits you best back home. And hope you can find out what you truly want in life. No offense. But my former The One aka The Darling still doesn't know what he wants in life. He's only got more cash to live on while not working for about a year now. If any consolation, he's as confused. And he's turning 42 years old this October. Don't be like him.

I'm pissed
.. as in drunk
Again..
Well, I went out by myself tonight. I went to my favourite bar again. I met my mate the barman too. He actually fancies me. But he's got a girlfriend. And since she hasn't done anything wrong, so he couldn't leave her. So there you go. Yet another nice man being crossed off the damn list.
Can you believe it.. this new house band was really playing "I will survive", "Can't take my eyes off you", "Dancing Queen" and "YMCA". Pluse, a while later, they played J. Lo's Get Right too!!! SHOOT ME!!!
We should arrest those who sing these songs in the Kingdom. And we are to globalise this law too. It's a crime!!!
Until then, I shall sing along and dance to those crappy songs.
Not J. Lo's song though. I truly and amazingly hate that crap. I mean, song.
No dramas tonight for a change as I was on the second floor. No drunken @#$%! trying to buy me for the night whatsoever. Woohoo!!
You know what, I've decided to get myself a boyfriend. Then, a hubby. Then, a child. I've got too much free time now. I mean, on the weekends. I have got no time for anything else on working days. But weekends... I've got so much free time. I mean, two days every week that I can actually think about something else, other than work! That's too much! I need to occupy myself!
Oh good news, I just called my former The One an arse tonight. HAhahaha. It's so funny. You know, he's actually been out of my life. Remember the last episode... that he acted tw*tly and pretty much ignored me at the damn pub?
After that, he's quiet on me. Not a surprise. Then, I got a hold of him. And he told me that "You're too emotional for me." In which he meant "I don't need you in my life anymore. Not even as a friend."
I still owed him a lunch back then. So, I decided to just pay for my last lunch with him instead as we were not going to have lunch together ever again. I wrote a letter to state my intention and said that I didn't owe him anything anymore. And put some money in it. More than my share last time. But wtf. I couldn't care less.
I texted him to let him know that I was dropping an envelope for him at his apartment. He replied "What's up now? You're delivering letter bomb?" British sense of humour or not, I'm not sure this time. I replied "I wish I had some. Well, just my lunch last time that I still owe you." And he's been quiet since. Beat my sense of humour, mate. :D
Tonight, I felt strange. I texted him " :-D " and he replied! He Hi'd me. Sent back the usual How are you thing. He's not that keen. So, I asked him if it meant "Just clamp it and leave me alone. It's Saturday night, for the love of God." He replied "Yup". 555555555555
I told him I just wanted to know where we stood as he was an arse sometimes and wouldn't say what he really wanted.
I called him an arse. 555555555555555555555555555555
So much for being The One.
I'm not sad that he's gone, honest. I couldn't really be myself when I was with him anyway (even as friends). I had to dress conservatively. No tits out whatsoever. I shouldn't swear too much. I shouldn't smoke. I shouldn't get drunk. Basically, I had to change myself totally when I met up with him.
But he was kind of nice most of the time though. One can only take so much, I guess. He can't have his shoulder ready for me to cry on for ever. That's probably it.
Well, whatever. I'm not really sad. Just.. the whole thing. I mean.. those backstabbers.. then Him.. Sometimes I just wonder if it's me. Ian my mate was just so ready to give me a kick up my arse when I said this a few days ago.
I might be right though, you know. Sometimes I just wonder...
Oh well... another crap from me... I blame the damn beers.

Oh..
... weekend is here!!!
I'm so totally knackered!!!
Well, I have only myself to blame.
I thought I would go out to eat and see Rose and Lee. It turned out I had some shit to clear with my friend. So, I moved to another place. And ended up drinking with that lot until about 3AM. Therefore, I got only a few hours to sleep...
I woke up in the morning feeling like shite. I didn't get enough sleep. I had a hangover. And I was to take care of the English client all afternoon.
Not too busy at work today. Got to chat with my boss via SMS a little bit about work next week. He is going to travel again. And then, the English client walked in..
The whole thing went well. He seemed to be satisfied. That's grand. Reported my boss and he's pretty happy too.. even though I screwed up a little bit on another task. He's really supportive.
I couldn't be arsed to go anywhere after work, but headed home. I was carrying company's laundry too. Plus, the hangover and exhaust.. I'm just glad I'm now home..
I'm going to just finish my dinner... and go to sleep...

Big day at work
Yet another holiday here in Bangkok.. Not that I'm complianing!
The temperature outside is so high I can't stand it. I did some laundry, washed my car today and came to hide in my family's office. Ugh, it's so bloody hot outside!
Life has still been unbelievably mad. Seems there are so many weirdos and wackos out there. I tend to run into one after another. Oh well... such is life.
Oh.. the damn hat! It turned out Lee's head is particularly big! So, it didn't fit! Hahaha. Bugger! Well, I might just try to get a bigger one at Jatujak this coming weekend. I just might.
Things at work have been good. Tad busy but good. All my bosses are out of the country at the moment. And we are expecting a very important client from the UK in the office tomorrow. So, I'm on my own now to impress the client. I'm going to represent the whole company. Uhh.. why do I have to keep stressing myself out by saying this over and over? :P
Ok! So, I won't have a hangover tomorrow!
Bloody hell. That's really tricky as I'm going to the pub tonight...

Long weekend
But I'll have to work a bit anyway...
Last week at work was kind of crazy. Well, I shouldn't be surprised, should I? It's a part of the fun, really.
I went down to the pub on Thursday after work. Met some creepy old man. I had managed to avoid having a conversation with him all these times. My Guardian Angel wasn't with me on Thursday night....
He started chatting with me. And for some reason, he gave me a funny look and asked me "So, do you work in the daytime?"
EH?!?!
Of course, I do! Else, how could I possibly pay my bloody bills at this bloody pub?
He's some kind of big shot in that area. Either that pub or its neighbour. I don't give a hoot though. Our conversation ended right after I told him I worked for a spa consulting company.
Friday was totally mad. I worked 12 hours straight. Well, I had lunch for about 20 minutes max about 2PM. I was totally knackered. So, I had dinner (at 10:45PM) at Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) and went home. No play. I was too tired.
I got some rest on Saturday. So, I went to HRC again. It's the last night for my favourite band there. They'll be back in three months though. A few friends of mine were to meet up in Sukhumvit area that night too. But I wanted to be alone. So, I just went to HRC by myself.
When I was enjoying myself, shit tended to happen. And it did.
A tosser happened to knock a bloody beer off. On me. No apologies. I think I could guess where he came from. But his nationality shall be withheld. :D
Anyway, my left arm and my left tit smelled like Singha. I got some tissue paper from a barman to clean myself. But it's kind of sticky. Still. So, my favourite barman got me a cold towel. Ahhh... much better now!
After the bar, I came home and went online to chat with a few friends. About some serious stuff. I ended up going to sleep at 5AM. I blame you, Stephan! :D
I thought I would sleep in as it's Sunday. But no... me had no luck.
I woke up at 10:30AM to my neighbour's music. Apparently, they were having a big party. Probably May Day crap. The music was so loud and so crappy I couldn't sleep any longer. So, I took a shower to wake myself up.. and headed to Jatujak the weekend market.
Lee's lost his favourite hat at some wedding. That one was my favourite too! So, I wanted to find a new one for him. Might not be as cool. But tried to find a similar one.
It's soooooooo crowded at Jatujak. 5 seconds in there, and I then realised why I hate going there so much.
Within 2 minutes, I started sweating like a pig. Even though I was wearing tank top and shorts. Bloody hell..
I was walking around for an hour and I spotted one. Not too bad. So, I bought it. I'll put some green ribbon on it as Lee works for Irish pubs. I can wear this hat. So, I hope his head is not too big. Actually, I texted him to ask if anyone ever commented his head was particularly big. I thought my question made some sense at the moment. But reading it again after that... it didn't come out right. :p
Lee rang me back after hours'd passed. Hmm.. his head might be a bit bigger than mine. Shit. I hope it fits.
Tomorrow is a public holiday. But my boss is going to be away for nearly two weeks and I need his help regarding one certain task, I'll go to office to work tomorrow. Boss will help me after his important meeting with a client.
I still love my job...
