Waterproof not Sweat Proof

Look at the photo: it says that this watch is waterproof or water resistant to a depth of 50 metres.

Zoom in, though, to see the effects of my sweat on the innards of this watch.

A waterproof watch that isn't sweat resistant!

Scrambled Eggs err Omelette err Scrambled!

We went for something to eat. I like and eat Thai food then i will eat something more familiar from time to time

I ordered scrambled eggs: it comes with toast and bacon. I give the bacon away.

Namwan ordered her food.

We waited and when the omelette arrived i started eating it. La la la laaaa. Not bad although a bit greasy.

Namwan's Thai food arrived and she tucked in!

Then the scrambled eggs arrived 😳

Me: (confused and guilt ridden) Did you order the omelette for yourself?
Namwan: Yes!
Me: Why did you let me eat it then?

Doh!

Not done that before!!

Three Films

In the last three days i have watched

Olympus Has Fallen
GI Joe
A Thai Film ... Pee Mak Phra Khanong*

Pee Mak is a hoot even though i relied on English sub titles. She's a ghost ... no she isn't ... nonsense, hair styles, slap stick, appalling rowing skills, terrible one like jokes ... worth watching!

GI Joe: Bruce Willis is really only a cameo player. Interesting storyline but the script is dreadful. Action packed and there's a ticking clock countdown ... otherwise the world ends NOW! Not the best action film ever but watchable.

Olympus: i enjoyed this. Action film, clicking tock counting down at the end ... otherwise the world ends NOW! One man hero. Couldn't stand the sight if the child wearing a baseball cap. Got sick to death of people constantly asking if the President's alright ... enjoyable action film, better than GI Joe!

*Phra Khanong is my local Sky Train station!

Lebanese Food Excellent. Falang Chat Tripe!

Lebanese restaurant today in Ploenchit Centre: excellent food. Sat near two expats, they were at the next table. Firstly, they bought enough food for a week.

Secondly, they spoke loudly. They spoke drivel. And they clearly weren't listening to each other!!
