Christmas pics

Okay...so Christmas is over. What a relief! (yes, what a relief indeed). My choir and dance performances went fine. Thank God I didn't fall off the stage or rip my pants or anything like that. Christmas was tiring but enjoyable nonetheless. After watching "Night at the Museum" we headed to a Pakistani restaurant. Now that's a first - eating Pakistani food on Christmas day. Hoey Theen said the restaurant had an ancient-looking toilet. It looked pretty ordinary to me. Dang, should have taken a photo and let you guys evaluate. Anyway, here are some other photos from the FGT Christmas Dinner and dinner on Christmas. =)

Me and Big Sis. Oh and that's the tie she gave me for Christmas.

Down in Flames

Christians, we're all afraid of fire. We prefer to suck on pacifiers. Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits. We don't shake hands, we shake our fists. We're cannibals. We watch our brothers fall. We eat our own the bones and all. Finally fell asleep on the plane. To wake to see we're going down in flames. We're gonna down, down, down in flames. We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane. We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved. We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk." and "Shame, shame, shame." Finally fell asleep on the plane. To wake to see we're going down in flames. Christians, we mourn, the thorn is stuck in the side of the body. Watch it self-destruct. The enemy is much ignored when we fight this Christian civil war. We're cannibals. We watch our brothers fall. We eat our own, the bones and all. Finally fell asleep on the plane. To wake to see we're going down in flames.
Let me pause to clarify ('cause I'm sure you're asking, "why?"). I stand before you, and proudly claim to belong to what this song complains. I'm part of the problem, I confess, but I got to get this off my chest. Let's extinguish the anguish for which we're to blame, and save the world from going down in flames.

Chiangmai, Thailand

Wanted to blog 'bout my holiday in Thailand but I've been busy lately. Here's some pics though.



Elephant Camp. That's my tour guide at the far left.



Snake whisky anyone?


Me with some hot Thai transvestities. I wanted to take a pic with the one in red initially. The one in blue couldn't resist me and came right to me. Note my foot shuffling aside for the one in blue. Also, note the fat tranvestite in the background. Thankfully, he didn't come running to me.


The Akha tribe culture is such that a man and woman cannot sleep together even after marriage except when they wanna make babies. They made this to show that they're stilll humans...something like that. I just found it funny.


With the Long Neck women in northern Thailand.
