I wonder what's up with Bangkok/Thailand these days. They seem to be making the headlines so frequently!
First, there was the famous airport closure in Bangkok that got so many people trapped in transit. Then they had a new and handsome Prime Minister. This was followed by a deadly fire on New Year's eve in one of their night clubs that killed some Singaporeans (1 of whom was my father-in-law's colleague). This fire was followed by another fire in one of their shopping malls.. And most recently, news has it that it is freezing in Thailand. 4 degrees celcius in Chiang Mai. So many people were caught offguard by the sudden drop in temperature that a few died from the sudden cold. I noticed the weather has been very cold these days even in Singapore, but 4 degrees C in Thailand?! That's very unusual!! Soon it will be snowing in Thailand. And then a few years later, snow in Singapore.
Everything is getting so screwed up in the world these days.. recession, strange weather, Israel and Gaza war.. Let's just hope the swearing in of Obama tomorrow will be the start of a string of good things this year!!
