More on Bangkok!


This pic was taken in front of 'Siam Niramit' - a world famous theater show which basically about Thailand, the different parts of the country and its influences. For example, the south part was clearly influenced by Malaysia as the cast were wearing nyonya kebayas. The show was simply fabulous, and the set was the most amazing ever! moving houses and boats, and there was even a stream that opened up on the stage in the middle and one of the cast actually jumped in and took a bath! So hard to explain but it was wonderful. Even had live animals in the show - elephants, chickens, goats. If you go to Thailand i recommend going to Siam Niramit - definitely!!
The pic above was with some of the cast members. We werent allowed to bring our cameras in for the show but we could take pictures of the cast after the show outside.

Bangkok!!!



This is the only pic i have so far of me in my costume. So watcha think? There were TWO other audrey hepburns at the party (SIGH) but was consoled by the fact that i was the closest resemblance to her! Right up to the hair, tiara and the cigarette holder. =) These are my colleagues. On the left is annuar who is with the engineering dept. He is the one we call when anything goes wrong with the recording equipment or our PCs. Oh, he was 'the terminator' on the night. On the other side of me is Sheryl who works with traffic. She is supposed to be Amy Winehouse - who is NOT a past icon, but she just wanted to be her. I drew her tattoos, by the way, with a marker pen. Hehe. The other girl is Aznim, who is pretty new to the infocentre. Cant remember who she was supposed to be. A silent actress from way back. I didnt manage to take any pics of me coz spent so much time at the hairdressers doing my hair, that had to rush like crazy when i got to my room, as we were already very late! So didnt even think of taking photos, plus we werent allowed to bring our cameras to the ball room for the dinner as last year there was a hullabaloo as someone took some not very nice pics of a pretty famous deejay and sent it to a newspaper!! (it was a very serious case and the person could have been fired - but they couldnt prove that they knew who it was although they have a rough idea) Soooooo...also didnt take pics of myself AFTER the dinner coz i rushed up to have a shower and tend to my hair!!! Coz the woman at the salon had backcombed my WHOLE head in order to do my hairstyle. It was very painful... and i had to resort to dragging my comb through my hair bit by bit in order to detangle it. Lost so much hair man! =( Anyway.... the dinner was pretty fun lah.. coz most people dressed up for it. There were characters such as Gladiator, Janice Joplin, Stevie Wonder, Charlie's Angels, lots of Indian celebrities (easy way out for Indian girls as they just turned up in a sari and proclaimed they were either Aishwarya Rai or Rani Mukherjee), King Mongkut, bla bla bla.... Okay.. as soon as get more pics on Bangkok will post it kay....
