Boat ride along Chao Phraya River, Bangkok

Touristy Bangkok

Wat Arun, or The Temple of Dawn, was breathtaking. Literally gasped when we drew near enough to see the porcelain mosaic that covered the entire monument, made more spectacular by how everything was glinting in the (scorching, relentless, brutal, blinding - I still have tanlines) sun.

Into flats lately.

I bought four pairs in shoes in Bangkok. And discovered the other day that the Irregular Choice sandals are cheaper here in SG. Self-consolation: Maybe they don't have my size, maybe I wouldn't have fallen for them here. Sometimes love is about timing and opportunity.


Finally wore these Gap/Pierre Hardy sandals again on Friday, after months and months. I should wear them more often. They're easy to walk in. I think I want the grey sandals from the upcoming collection too. But maybe I'll wait for sale this time. We'll see.


Chuck Taylors I got from rockstar a while back. I like the all white and palest of grey muted colour palette. The Muji plimsoles, well, I've been abusively wearing them everywhere for picture-taking excursions. After BKK, they're rottenly dirty and embarassingly stinky. Time for a wash.

This means I've gotten six pairs of shoes (Gap from last year, I think) since June. Some self-control is in order.

I should also be barred from Kino. Maybe I'll take a picture to show you all the stuff I've bought from them in August.

(They had 20% on National Day weekend and the entire second half of the month, plus it's Sep issues for magazines and Sep issues are important for both work and personal gratification.)

We stayed at Reflections Hotel in Bangkok. It's a little old but I really liked it. They're undergoing renovations now so it should be spanking clean once again soon.

Pictures of rooms have yet to be developed so I guess I'll show you another day.
