WHERE WOULD BE MY NEXT DESTINATION?

Believe or not, I have not even visited Bangkok yet although I have been staying within this region for many years. My next vacation destination should definitely be Bangkok as I can discover its inspiring beauty and endless charm. Bangkok is a place rich in cultural phenomenon, a shopping heaven for me who worship their latest fashion trend and a place where I can experience the taste of their culinary skills.

There are many splendid temples surrounding the city, including Wat Pho, the oldest and largest in Bangkok, which housed a 46 meters reclining Buddha as far back as the time of King Rama. On top of that, it would be a rare occasion where I can take some photos of the colorful floating market along the waterways, also known as “Venice of the East”. If time permits, I would not mind having some romantic moments in a dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River.

As for shopping, I surely won’t want to miss out the Siam Paragon and Central World, two of the biggest and most luxurious malls in South East Asia. Siam Square should be another great place to hang about for great bargains. I hope I have enough energy left after the shopping spree for their night entertainment. One prominent feature in the night life in Bangkok is that almost all the pubs and discos are having live band performances. That would be a great experience as most of time we have DJs only.

A visit to a foreign country for vacation won’t be complete if we do not try out their local delicacies. I for sure would want to try out their Tom Yam Kung (hot and sour seafood soup), Green Curry, Phat Thai (Thai-style fried noodles), Phat Kaphrao Mu (fried pork fried with basil leaves), Khao Niew Ma Muang (glutinous rice garnished with sweet coconut cream and ripe mango), Tub Tim Grob, etc. Gosh! My list will go on forever as I have always like Thai cuisine a lot.

Now I can’t stop myself from thinking about my next vacation. Who else to blame but myself for finding out too many interesting things to do in Bangkok? LOL! Anyway, I will need to check on the validity of my passport and also to get travel insurance for my trip. Bangkok! Here I come!

MOVING INTO A BEACH FRONT APARTMENT

How would you love to move into an apartment where you can just close your eyes, sit back to relax while basking in the warm rays of the morning sun and listening to the tranquil sounds of the waves rolling onto the golden sandy shoreline? It sounded like a dream but lifestyle like this can be achieved along the coastal area of some prominent beach fronts.

This is my ideal home. This is where I would be spending my life in the future admiring the beauty of the sunsets while enjoying the cool sea breezes. My dream apartment would be with large balconies to allow me to arrange a few deck chairs to laze the day away to enjoy the view of the passing ships. After all, it is designed for the purpose of pampering one from all the stresses after a hard day’s work.

The only worry I have now is not on the purchase of the beach front property but on how I am going to get all my furniture and stuff over to such a high rise building. It will take months if I were to pack and shift them over to the new apartment. It is going to be tiring with the amount of work I have to handle each day. I ought to consider getting the moving experts for this tedious job. Not only will they help in packing all the furniture with greatest care, they have a fleet of moving trucks to handle the job all in a day. The sooner I get everything into the apartment and arrange them in order, the more time I have to get away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic life. After all, when one gets older, this is how one should enjoy a more quality life.

I NEED SOME GOOD MASSAGE NOW

I am one of those people who would sit long hours in front of the computer and work long hours on my projects. By the end of the day, my body will feel lethargic and I have backaches all over my body, from my neck downwards to my spine and waist. Some told me that it could be due to bad body positioning but others told me that it could be due to overwork and tensions. Well, one thing I am sure of now is that I really need someone to help me massage my back.

Well, I was thinking of trying out a new spa outlet down the road as I heard that all their employees are graduates from some famous massage therapy schools. It must be quite an experience there to surrender my body to the experts and at the same time rejuvenate my soul so that I have a better concentration on my work.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET GOOD INVESTMENTS?

I have quite a number of friends who are involved in some sort of investment one way or another. Some made it big where else some barely made it. What made those people how successful they are in depends on how knowledgeable and technically equipped they are. No all of us have that gift built in us. In fact, those who are successful in futures trading are those risk takers who are very seasoned in this game.

If you are a beginner in this futures trading, I would advice that you get the professional assistance from some of the qualified and experienced brokers easily available in the market. They will surely guide you personally to ensure that you maximized your potential to succeed. There may be many methods on how you can apply in your trading but somehow I felt that the technical way would be quite ideal for many beginners. All you need to do is to have the patience to learn up the tools to familiarize yourself in spotting trends that will give you a better picture of the specific market you are planning to invest in.

WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR MY NEW TV?

I had spent many month browsing through the web in search for a good HDTV for my living room. All the reviews and recommendations were detailed but I had some problems with the price tags. Some of the best would cost between $3K and $4.5K which was way beyond my budget.

After considering the prices for brands such as Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Pioneer, Samsung, LG and many others, I finally settled for Samsung HL52A650 which would cost me around $2K or more. Although it is relatively expensive and with a red frame, it has a superb black-level performance; highly accurate color; improved 120Hz de-judder video processing; fine standard-definition processing; broad selection of picture setup options; ability to display weather, news, and stock info onscreen; energy-efficient compared with most like-size LCDs.

Since this model is one of the top selling models in 2008, I better get it fast before it goes out of stock. I should also be looking for new tv lifts as my existing TV cabinet would not be able to fit in this new 52” LCD TV. I guessed I should not have any problems at all as I have already found out where to get the best deal.
