So far, the cool season had lasted not more than a mere 2 days sometime in early November. Since then, “winter” in Bangkok has yet to make a re-appearance.
There is something about the cool season in Bangkok towards the end of the year which contributes to that holiday feeling. It seems almost non-existent this month as it seems to be humid all around, which was completely unexpected. I even cautioned my parents who came for a visit recently to bring sweaters in anticipation for the shiokadoo cool season. What a shame though…they never did get to experience the cool season we have been raving about here at this time of the year. The time of the year was perfect for a visit, but the weather has gone bonkers!
Rather unusual for year end I must say.What a bummer of a weather this holiday season!

is knowing that today marked my last day in the office for 2009 and not having to go to work for the next 6 days!
While it is unfortunate that we had to cancel our plans of going out of Bangkok for New Year’s due to the lack of the availability of accomodation to the nearby islands, as well as the exhorbitant “high-season” prices we have to pay when they are available, staying in Bangkok does not seem like a bad option after all.
I’m only hoping that Bangkok will be quieter in the next few days with lesser traffic on the road as the Thais generally travel back to their home-town in upcountry. Traffic has been nothing but a nightmare of late, so a quieter Bangkok would be a welcome sight indeed!

is when I get to indulge in the best tasting macaroons in town!
We stumbled upon these somewhere in Paragon Shopping Mall and have never looked back since.These treats comes in all different sorts of colours and exotic flavours, even lychee flavoured ones.
They are supremely fantabulous, and really are the bestest macaroons ever! My guess is they are probably made in heaven… ;D
