Do you ever have those days when everything never seems to go right? Like when you wake up early in the morning and hit by some heavy stuff lying on the floor which nobody cares to pick it up the night before? Then when you are about to go to work, you somehow forget your car keys, dash back and trip on the front curb, then traffic snarl and you have to endure the middle finger of everybody who try to cut in front of you, then upon arriving at the office you can't find a car park and finally a stare from your boss for being late?

I know, I know, these are seen only in the movies, perhaps somebody did have this experience but for me it is those days when everything went kaput. I know our *whisper*Pak Lah's administration has already gone kaput**(Looking left and right in case any ISA is around me)  but not my camera! And now my desktop gone kaput! I was just switching on my PC when there's this sound, a creaking sound coming out from the mother board. Oh-oh. Bad sign, I thought.

And my guess was correct. The virus has attacked! The monitor was totally blank. I would have thought that Pak Lah's face will appear on my monitor and grinning happily,saying "Serves you right for saying my Govt went kaput". Great. Just when I thought I have enough troubles.

OK-lah. Now I have excuses to go to Bangkok. Skali one time bring all the kaput stuff and repair it so that I can visit some friends, now isn't it a good idea? (Humming a tune….One Night in Bangkok….)

It's confirmed. My 4 year old digital camera went kaput. Not because of the SD Cards because all the cards are still readable when I insert them in my laptop. However, when I insert them into the camera, there was a card error message.

Me and Ivan went through all possibilities discovering the faults by deepin through all sorts of instruments from needle to compass and eventually a mechanical pencil but somehow found no clues.

Finally, I decided that it is time to visit the camera shop in Rayong and the guy told me that there is a problem on the camera's reader. Which leads me to think, if everybody buy a 10,000 Baht - 20,000 Baht digital camera, how sure are you that it will not be spoil? If a camera can only stand for a lifespan of 4 years, then isn't it better to use back the good old conventional method of inserting a film into the camera?

Of course, we will not have the luxury to click here and click there as we mightily wish but then imagine investing a high end camera and if it went kaput just like that, there goes your money.

And the problem is I have to go all the way to Bangkok to get it repaired as there are no shops here in Rayong to do it. That's what the guy at the camera shop told me anyway. Sigh, guess that's one of the disadvantages of living away from Bangkok. So, in the mean time no clicking of pictures that I always like to do, and so no photo posting temporarily. 

Ahh….those good old days.

Now that my wife is back temporarily, we are cherishing every minute of it without:-

a) The sound of kids around you.

b) Having to attend to their every minutes which takes up most of our time.

c) Worrying they will wake up while making love at bed. trying our third baby.

Who cares if Datuk A…Ibr..is sent to jail or whatever.

Who cares if RPK is also sent to jail.

Who cares if they are sending troops to Cambodia border for the temple issue. 

For me, I am having the most precious "yee yan sai gai" (Couple in love) in our own. Don't you just love it when you can have a second honeymoon?

Where we can go "pak lou toh" (Dating) and walk by the seaside hand in hand, watching the sun goes down?

When we can do "chang toi geok" (Kicking each other's leg while dining together) whilst having a wonderful candlelight dinner in Pattaya with a beef steak and wonderful violin music in the background.

And when we go shopping together in the nearby "Lotat" mall laughing loudly at any jokes even though its a lame one together while shopping for what needs to be used in the new house.

Oh, I will definitely cherish these three weeks despite missing the kids a lot. Special thanks to my sister in law in Kajang. Two of SH's sister graciously accepted to take care of Jason and Joanna. Jason by her elder sister and Joanna by her younger sister, both staying in Kajang. Thanks a lot, Siew Leng and Siiew Foong. I'm sure you are also having a good time with them and vice versa.

And over here, there's plenty of unpacking to be done. Unlike our previous house in Bangkok where there are plenty of cupboards, wardrobes and built-in cabinets where we can just put our stuff there, there's no such thing at all over here in Rayong hence it's a headache unpacking. 

However, we still do have fun cooking together, listening to Jacky Cheung's and Sam Hui's music while unpacking and most importantly, can have long time making our third baby without any disturbance. No-lah. Just kidding. Having 2 is already enough and right now, excuse me while I dash to the sea and watch the sun goes down with a cup of cappucino in hand.
