As Malaysians would say “Selamat Hari Raya” and best wishes to all my Muslim friends, followers, stalkers, foes, admirers and trolls. In my country, there’s usually a couple of public holidays, and there’s always a 30-day unofficial celebration through the country.

The weekend seems dull in comparison to last week. Someone mentioned to me that when you are in Bangkok, you can never be alone. Oh hell, I am alone now.
