Christmas goodies.

Didja enjoy your Christmas pressies? i got some of the usual ho-hum gifts (ya ya i know it's the thought that counts/tis the season of giving bla bla but this is my blog so i'll be pretentious if i want to...Hey using the word 'pretentious' sounds pretentious doesn't it? doh! i did it again!)

Ok anyway, one of my favourite gifts was a Sonic Control Cat in the Bag. "What the...?" i hear you say. a-ha, behold:

"Cat's love bags don't they? Not this one! Experience the shaking and wild meowing of this frisky feline whenever you squeeze the bag, press the tail or clap your hands (sonic control). Requires 3"AA" size batteries (included). You must first turn on the power switch on the battery box to begin the fun." quote unquote.

Ah yes, endless fun i tell you. I've annoyed the hell out of my sister and colleagues. It's on my table as we speak. How about that for an original gift? (courtesy of my office mate, Haw, who makes prank phone calls to my extension just because he can).

Oh, but special mention to THE gift of the year. Ehem. Laydees and germs, please say hello to Mel's brrrrrand nuuuuu handphone!!! Yep, those who have seen my recently deceased handphone can breathe a sigh of relief. It was in a really sorry state if you recall - casing chipped and numbers completly erased from the keypad. And sometimes, on a cold winter's night, some button's don't work at all. Oh and static is to die for. Literally.

But back to my new phone. It's a nokia -ehem, of course- and one of those flip thingies. I've never had a flip phone. Such a ground-breaking moment when i made that first flip and the screen lit up. Ok, so it's not THAT practical (it does feel more fragile) but i LIKE.

So there.

Plus Lester gave it to me. Even if it was a bright yellow walkie-talkie that operates on AA batteries, it would've been the best gift ever (but, er thanks hon for NOT getting me a walkie talkie. muah). And it's static free. heh. Me likey.

Today i've been surfing the net for accommodation in Bangkok. Yep, planning to go there this March for some holidaying. Ok ok and to shop. Anyone got any recommendations? It's gotta be cheap, strategically located, clean, safe and er...yeah that's about it for now.

Ok i get to leave this place in fifteen minutes. Are you still stuck at work? muahaha.
