Perfect Pattaya

Perfect.

Pattaya was absolutely heaven sent.

It had been a gruelling month at work...and I desperately needed some escape...some release from the pressures of working life...

Pattaya was not too far...not too near...it offered a heaven of peace...i was smart enough to choose a resort far enough from the red lights of Pattaya beach...but close enough that I could revel in its nightly energy when i chose to...

I read...I slept...I sunbathed...and I enjoyed massages....


3 massages in all....in this beautiful little Thai traditional massage pavilion....it was spectacular...it was breadthtaking and it made me feel like a million dollars...

but i'm back to the madness that is work....refreshed...but longing...longing to return to that oasis of calm that my spirit visited in perfect pattaya..

Emergency Rescue...Gombal

BREAKING NEWS!

HEAD OF AMIN ABU FAMILY RESCUES BELOVED FAMILY PET!

Last night, at approximately 11.15pm (Singapore Mean Time), Mr Amin Abu returned home from a days work to hear the helpless mews of the family pet. Mr Abu followed the faint sounds into the kitchen and found that Gombal, the 1 year old family cat, was stuck in the gap between the wall of the kitchen and the roof. Gombal looking frightened out of his wits, looked down helplessly mewing for help.

Mr Abu reached up from a chair and tried to pull Gombal down. However, Gombal was too frightened and resisted the rescue effort.

Mr Abu had to apply his wit and intelligence to think of a solution. He finally decided to use an overturned basket to cajole Gombal down. From the basket, Gombal climed onto the top of the refridgerator, and finally made his way down via the basket 'ladder'.

Meanwhile, Mr Abu's eldest daughter looked on, in glee.
