Bangkok and chocolate

I need never leave The Mansion again. Life is perfect with my iMac 24. How I love this computer.

No, I don’t have any problems with reflections. The screen is glossy but my table is in a corner with no lamps above in the ceiling.

Suddenly the 19 inch monitor in the Internet cafe seems small. A mere 1024 x 768 pixels?

A tall Thai boy came at 6 am. I pretended not to notice. But when he sat shirtless in his undies at my iMac in the morning I had Chalerm remove him. I think he was one of our “hotel guests”.

The Prince of Khon Kaen climbed to 4 on the Annoyance Scale when he came out of the guest bedroom at 5pm. I thought I was home alone since Chalerm was in the office.

Office gossip: farang D’s Thai boyfriend has not spoken to him for a week. Nobody knows where the Thai boy is and he has turned his mobile phone off. This coincides with a cash flow crisis in the company. Typical.

They have chocolate on sale in the 7-Eleven, and I suffer. I usually buy two chocolates in the evening. Not that I am addicted. But one is too little and three is too much.

Now they have a buy-two-get-one-free campaign. So when I buy two chocolates they smile and say “one free!”. And they give me an extra chocolate, thinking they are making me happy.

I then go home, eat two chocolates and go to bed. I save the third choc for later. Yet somehow, mysteriously the 3rd chocolate vanishes during the night. I suspect I am sleepwalking, or should that be sleepeating? Not that I am addicted.

So the three for the price of two sale has forced me to cut down on chocolate and only buy one at a time. The staff tell me cheerfully that if I buy one more I will get three, but I say never mind.

I can’t wait for this sale to be over.

    You value a computer more highly than a Thai boy in his underpants ? You need therapy.

    Nice one JC !
    Maybe Silom should apply the ‘chocolate policy’ to the boys too - two before bed and one in the middle of the night.
    Sounds more like heaven than heaven! ;)
