Amazing Thailand

Zeiss Training
Well, again i'm going to Bangkok with work mates. This time is training on Premium IOL's, great, because now i have the chance to ask as much as possible on MFIOL, So we went on the Saturday evening flight and reach there in the middle of the night, went to sleep because we were all tired. Next day i went to check out the Swimming pool of the hotel, small but better than none. Had the swim and breakfast at the highest floor of the hotel. We took so much time eating breakfast that it lasted for 3 hours. By then the food in the stomach has already digest. In the afternoon we went to central world for a walk. As usual the girls will amke their way on their own. They had this world fair which is every country that participated had their products sold. So i bought a box of pop corns. I have not seen such thing in Malaysia, probably i have to open my eyes wider, because so far, i seriously havent seen pop corn in a box, Just pop into the Microwave oven then you have a pack of pop corns. great for my movie nights with my wife. Since i have a home theater, so it must come with pop corns.

First day.
first day sucks, because the weather was hot, so sat down with my boss and we chat while eating lunch and we chat a lot. after that went back to get some nap.
In the evening, we met up with Simon, It was his birthday, so he will bring us out for dinner and it will be on him
So we went opposite to have dinner. There was this huge fest on beer, Bangkok's mini december fest, the german's has october fest so the thais enjoy them in december. it is much cooler during this time of the year, i now know why they have it in december.
After many companies we went to, most were full we ended up in Chang Beer. Thailand's local beer, there is another brand Singha. that one is really good also. I think it is thai as well.

Beer fest or not
The thing now a days are so Westernised that i felt i was in another european country with yellow colour skin human, hmm, asian version of europe. So back to the story, Simon had ordered some food, finger food to be exact. And some beer. Chang Beer is kind of different, dont know how to describe but you can get them in Tesco in Malaysia, its cheap also. So the pretty girl fill us up and we enjoyed our second night. Happy BirthDay Simon !! And another year older.
Thai people like to pray, As you can see they have plenty of Deities and gods along the road and
and each god has different function. So dont simply pray to the wrong god, So that you can make sure you get the thing you want, BTW i'm no god person so i just watched and observed.
First Day Training
So on the first day of the Training, We started with Zeiss boss Steven giving his wrap up report into 10 minutes about next years Zeiss project in SEA, he had shown the report of 2009 reports and expects quite a lot next year, mainly on the surgical consumables, which is IOLS
then we had the Oscar of Opthalmology surgical Deparment goes to My company. Yeah Yeah.
so inviting the bosses of my company to come up to receive the award for best performing company for 2007, 2008 and 2009
There is it, my bosses receiving the Oscar award, nice one there.
So after receiving a award you are suppose to give a speech, i bet my boss didnt prepared his because he never expected to win this award. So spontaneously he gave the speech. It was good although a little nervous i hear,. but hey, can you give a spontaneous speech, well of course if you win the real Oscar award you should have prepared the speech and of course you are an actor so you should be able to act anytime anywhere. Great Speech. very informative too.
our hard work now is being paid off,
So we went back to the agenda that was to introduce our selves and then carry on with the traning. Well the thai team had a wholsome load of pretty looking OL's "office ladies" with nice tight office wear. i just cant stop wondering why Thai people are so thin, so beautiful and so happy and polite people, well its the food and the culture they have. They are great people and thailand has long history.
So during the break time i took the opportunity to take some nice thai gal pictures to share with you.

well as you can see, they are beautiful arent they. Well maybe i take a proper one next time. Hifi thailand
Hifi is in my blood. its like in my DNA and i cannot live without them. So to fufill my lust i went looking for any sign of a hifi shop in Central World. And indeed i found 2, One was more toward home theater, they carry Klipsh, Marantz and wonderful Epos. they had a year end sale discount so they were throwing price like almost 50%. Shit how come malaysian hifi dealers dont do that. Why they so Kiam Siap. sell half price lah, then i can own some HT amps on my own of upgrade the old one, This is really bad for the HT economy.
The hifi shop there carried the T&A brand and also Bel Canto.
well because i couldnt speak thai, i was being ignored, but i did get to listen to their only setup there, they sell a lot of CD;s so much of them. Well no pictures accept for this one because they didnt allow it. Hai ya. what a waste.
Went on listening but they turn on so soft its like they are telling me to get out of i m not buying.
probably i was wrong but anyway since i didnt wanted to buy so i left listening one or 2 tracks from their T&A amps and media streamer. Nowadays media players are so common, every company is making them. And it is damm expensive, Like the T&A, it cost about 20k our money, Im not surprise because Bladieus and Naim are also in that range,
Its really happening in Central world, even though it was Monday night, it seems Christmas is already here, I do love their Ad;s because its so colourful.


We had dinner, and Steven Belanja
So on the first night of course there will be some arrangement for dinner, So we went to a place near MBK opposite of Paragon Shopping complex to a thai restaurant and had food there. Frankly speaking this was the worst thai food i have eaten in Thailand. The very best was with my parents during our holiday to Bangkok a couple of years ago. I always come to Bangkok and have good food, but this one. it is really not worth, Prawns not fresh, fish not nice, Green curry sucks, Malaysia thai restaurant also better. vege was soggy and i really didnt enjoy much.
BTW it cost RM3000 for that meal to feed a total of 30 people. Its expensive, because the food sucks.

So i we headed back to the hotel but i had a rest instead while some went for shopping, i wonder why i was so tired and lazy during this trip? Probably nothing around here interest me. Next time i must research on used HIFI items before i come here. My journey continued on with next day training and went back after that. So boring, i have got nothing exciting to tell you, I didnt buy anything but the pop corn. and some dried food.

So anyway, cut the crap,. next time i come here again, i will for sure look for a proper hifi shop, again i have to learn some thai first before embarking on a journey into overseas HIFI shopping, probably i should start with Hong Kong. Oh, i forgot to mention. The Taxi;s are very colourful here, red yellow pink green and blue, so many of them and they are all Toyota Altis, sorry no photos but if i have the chance again i will take some to show you.
