Blogging about a Blog
What do you call a blog about blogging itself? Blog-a-blog? Blog-in-blog?
Well, this idea came to me one evening. No, it wasn't a special momentous evening. And I didn't see any light from the sky, leading me to the path of righteousness. It was just an ordinary evening, when one had too much free time.
Yup, it's possible to be a victim of too much self-reflection. And this blog is a product of it. Like an unwanted child.
I just wanted to see how it would be to blog about Sisuahlai's entries. Why choose this Hokkien word today? Why this topic today?
Ok, let me start with the first Bangkok holiday entry.
Arrived in Bangkok three days ago. There has been so much media coverage on the lead-up to the King's 60th anniversary celebration. Everyone's talking about it. Everybody is wearing that royal yellow colour T-shirt. Aargh. And the shirts are even selling on E-bay. And they are seriously selling like hotcakes. I don't know who set the standards here, but Thais are expected to wear yellow on Mondays. And I look like Thai. Like it or not, I might as well succumb to this "yellow" fever. My yellow shirt is washed and crisp... I am ready to march the streets of Bangkok.
I have been to Bangkok several times, but I've never done the tourist thing. I haven't seen the Emerald Buddha, I remember the Choa Phrya river more from pictures in holiday brochures than memories. I need to catch up on the tourist thing. Desperately.
Yes, I am keen to be a tourist. My digital SD memory card is emptied, the cam battery is charged, and I have loose bahts, just get me to Bangkok Central now!
I am staying in an area which is 3 hours Bangkok-traffic jam away from the city centre. So I am taking the first bus/taxi/anything to Bangkok central tomorrow.
Imagine my head exploding now.
