Taking the right or wrong cabs in Bangkok has a lot to do with luck sometimes. Just last week, our mad cab driver decided to jam-break really hard without a reason while he was driving us back to the office. The cab jerked from impact and I had my face and cheeks nicely squashed on the back of his seat. It was nothing serious or anything, but his reason for doing it had me rolling my eye-balls.
His reasons? He had to give space to a frigging Merc which was cutting into his lane because it was an expensive car. From what we saw, he really didn’t need to as he had quite a wide berth. My guess is perhaps he just wouldn’t be able to get away with insurance on the Merc had he kissed the Merc’s bum.
Talk about priorities…

A remark made in a meeting from the perspectively challenged on the topic of internet:
“Personally, I’m not too keen on internet and I will not allow my kids to be exposed to internet sites or gaming. The internet trend is not for kids. So, I personally think that it is not an appropriate recommendation to use the internet to entertain kids between 7 to 14 years old”
You know what though? Incidentally, the almighty internet is no longer a trend. It’s just there. And for kids that age, well, let’s just say it’s probably the most normal thing they’d see, given that they are born already into it, along with Ipods, Iphones, Google and MSN Messengers.

Here’s another one from Aunty Antsy. Nah-beh you know, these people, I tell you. Certainly these Chinese are damn seow to tattoo fish for luck or fengshui purposes.
I definitely agree with Aunty Antsy that this is just plain cruelty. Whatever possess them to do this? This is taking superstitions waaaay to far.
Poor poor fishies.
