My pc has crashed! Too much virus I guess, too much downloads, and those site recommendations by MEIYIN most probably! And also sis' accounting software must have contained virus. Now I have to use a laptop to surf the Internet AT HOME.

Met up with Javier the day before. We caught Blood Diamond at 4pm at the Lido. The show wasn't bad, but not too nice either. It was about how a civil war was the cause of a diamond in Sierra Leone, Africa. But most of the time we were shivering in the cold theatre, making my hair stood on ends. And hungry.

Now I realised I have watched so many movies in less than a month till I have difficulty choosing which movie to watch. Most afraid to select a lousy one.

We had dinner at Sakae Sushi in Heeren. My fried tofu took some time to be served on my table, but my chawanmushi took forever.

Then we walked to Plaza Singapura, and called it a day at Bugis where I joined dad and mum home. Saved on my bucks today as movie and dinner were treats haha.

This morning I visited the video store again. Guess I am gonna get addicted to it. Rented Anna and the King. It was an old movie produced since my secondary school days, but I have yet to watch.

It was about the influence of Anna Leonowens as a school teacher to the royal family of the then Chakri Dynasty. But I wonder if the real Maha Mongkut (Rama IV) really had an affection for her haha! It really reminded me of my history lessons. I simply enjoyed them.

If I could remember right, Maha Mongkut was the one who abolished prostration, promoted education, constructed Thai's first railway? and maintained Siam's independence by establishing ties with foreign powers. His son, King Chulalongkorn, later abolished slavery and instituted religious freedom. What a great teacher Anna Leonowens had been and her contributions to Siam were remarkable.

Kings' lives are great. They have so many concubines. Different set every single night. Laughs.
