"SOAR"ing In Chiangmai

by FH2o on October 26, 2005

By the time some of you are reading this, we would most likely be S.O.A.R (Some Where On A River) on the Mae Ping River in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand …

We had been fretting over this trip the past month – it was a toss-up between the Calamian Islands in the Philippines. After a frantic exchange of emails between Huey in Spore and me here and phone calls with Miriam; we settled on Chiangmai. We would be flying up from Kuching to JB and would meet up with Huey and JunPing at Spore’s Changi Airport where we will all be flying via Tiger Airways direct to Chiangmai.
Here’s hoping for daily beautiful weather and blue skies like this on our Chiangmai Expedition! And I hope that my just-healed backache don’t play up!

Date: 28^th October to 4^th November 2005

Put in / Take Out: Mae Ping River

These people have absolutely no conscience or shame - as I believe that they were given this blog address. SO they knew exactly how the neighbours feel about what they are doing.

And dun worry abt the moron, the termites will eat up their house first.

Besides, there is nothing much u can do, but stare at them, which makes your BP shoots up.

I will also be away for 9 days!
