the entry about a trip down haji lane.

okay, so shopping in bangkok was quite the bitch (i ended up with a finite number of buys). to avert a potentially cataclysmic clothing drought, i decided that shopping was the order of the day. in tow with my friend raymond, the two of us trudged down haji lane for a little apparel schlepping. the outfit i am decked in was basically the bits and pieces i had managed to scrape when in bangkok. here's a couple pics.

j.a.r.b.: i guess they wanted to print "g.a.r.b." ... typo

raymond, who just can't keep it straight.

in haji lane, and doing the quaint victory pose.

an example of how i go about making a careful, deliberate purchase: my eyes zoom in on the must-buy, and for a moment i hover disconsolately, internal struggles of "should i? should i not? is it worth it? does it match any of my wardrobe attire? does my credit card allow anymore swiping?"-like self-probing rises for the longest time (say 0.125 seconds). i wrinkle my brow whilst i do my soul-searching, and by the next microsecond, i am donning it on to see if it fits. i'm out of it as soon as i was in it and i'm by the cashier handing over my plastic card.

after a little intensive shopping, it was time to stuff our face with nosh. middle-eastern food fare was menu du jour, and it proved equally delectable and comparable to our local delights. think of your favorite food and throw them onto a grille. shazam! cuisine a la middle east!

grilled mushrooms

grilled chicken leftovers; it was devoured before a good picture can be taken.

 

a little more cam-whoring before calling it a night....

or so i thought!

 

the chapter was closed only after another drinking (another?!) session with friends. i guess i shouldn't say this, since it's so early into the year, but my new year resolution is to make cutbacks in clubbing and drinking. and probably focus more on my work. that being said, with pressing matters on hand at the moment, bring on the booze!

jeremy manages to maintain the same pose in two different pictures.

x-tin, my babe in tow.

benjamin exhibits a little wardrobe malfunction but still looks sizzling.

cheerios and out!
