Sinister: When the rhythm start to play Dance with me Make me sway

[oon oon]

hi everyone, my name is oon.  I used to be on the
list.
But not now because my computer has become Chinese.
which is one of the languages i ALMOST understand. 
however,I still read the archive sometime so Miss 
Honey graciously allows me to write a little.  i live
in Bangkok, Thailand.  if you're one of those people
who sometime see strange country on the map and not 
entirely convinced that it actually exists, you're 
welcome to visit me.  

how're you doing?  myself have a GRATE winter.
(just to prove, once again, that i read the archive)  
it's been really cold winter.  seriously!  the weather
was actually very very cold.   It's so cold we could
wore all those winter clothes like woolly, padded 
jackets, scarves, gloves, boots, and all other thick
things.  Gave Bangkok wonderful surreal ambience.  
ie. like you're on drug the whole time.  because it 
didn't look like Bangkok and Bangkok people and yet 
it was.    i've been in good mood for the whole 
month.  partly due to the extent of shopping the
good weather allowed.    i even broke my own item per
minute record.  which is a bad bad thing to do.  
sigh...

that's the only Thai news i have today.  that our 
winter was really cold.  then it's hot again for a 
while. right now it's not cold but still nice enough.
things are now back to reality.  and i am back to 
work and misery. (oooooh rhyming!!!!)   not that 
i didn't work in winter, but when weather is cold
there's much more important things to do.  or i 
should just say only one important thing to do,
which is having fun.  i had a gypsy card reading
(or Tarot Card?) last night.  seemed that i'll be 
stuck at this job for a long time.  how sad.
other things seemed to be well enough.   i also
have a bad throat right now.  doctor gave a
"shut up" order so i've been quiet for the last
few days.   but yesterday Fluke had a graduation
ceremony.  so i talked a lot.  speaking of Fluke
(some of you may have met him in chat, yes?), 
he's going to US to study Master.  in Washington DC 
at first.  anyone here in DC or nearby?  because he's
never been to US before i'd be grateful if someone 
could kindly give him some advice on where to have 
fun.   that's probably all he needs.  advice on 
serious matter he can get easily enough from other 
source.   with all the honour i have, i can guarantee
that Fluke is a lovely person so have no fear and
email me at oon_oon at yahoo.com please.  he's leaving in
March i think.  sad : (

speaking of leaving and moving, anyone got Mr Miller
a job yet?   what about teaching job?  i'm not sure
if you'll be allowed to teach small children but 
there's always teacher job, isn't there?  at least in
Thailand there's always english teacher job all the 
time.  and i bet Mrs Miller will like my country 
too.   i'll even throw in some more incentive since 
you're such good Thai news reporter.   you can pick 
one of these.....
a. elephant ride
b. foot massage session
c. head in alligators' mouth show
d. Thai boxing lesson
um i can't think of anything else right now.   
will that do?

Speaking of Mr Miller, i have a dream about him to 
tell.  and what an exciting dream that was!  think 
Speed bus.  think Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid.  you 
get picture.  Mr Miller was Butch, keith was 
Sundance.  Keith was driving the bus.  Peter had hugh 
green hair, like an 80's punk and swore ALL the time. 
in Thai.  they stole the bus to cross the very dusty 
mexican border.  cops were shooting after us.  I was 
bus passenger.  the escape was very exciting.  the bus

was half full of people but i can't remember other 
people.  only the lovely MIss Honey, who was kniting. 

i remember Honey because of the way she looked.  
just think Bridget Barfot ( in the sixties, please)
However,  this wasn't just random dream like people 
usually have because I know where it came from.  Butch

was on telly when i went to sleep.  before i went 
home, i saw people shooting.  i went to a bar and was 
very much enjoying myself.   which was quite something

since it's drum and bass night.  normally the kind of 
music that would have me fall asleep in half an hour. 
 then i walked out to go home.   and on the 
other side of the street, i saw a shooting.  the first

time i ever i saw* with my own eyes!  first there's 
fighting, then bottle breaking.   Then i saw people
drawing gun.   Then shooting!   at this point all
eager
onlookers scattered away at the speed of light.  one
second i was standing there, another second i was 
cowering inside car.  amazing!   
*maybe saw is not correct word.  it's very late and 
my eyes had become too small to see anything beyond my
own hand.  Those people could have been tangoing for 
all i saw.  Lucky there's still someone with good eyes

to narrate.  Last time i saw people really fighting 
must be years ago.  How nostalgic.  In a bad way.  

Only the honey's kniting part i can't think where it 
came from.  i bet Stuart M was in the bus too.  he's a

regular.   heaven bless him.   can i quickly say 
something here?  i hardly have time to do email lately

plus everything i have in my old computer is all gone 
so i don't have many people address.  sorry.

Pam&Mike-Thank you so much for the lovely card!  
my Thai postcard serie will continue in timely manner 
soon.

Adrian-have you get the photo in Krabi done yet?  
please send the good one soon.  i need some beach
photo, thanks.

David-have i told you the t-shirt yet?  if not, it's 
H&T Here and There and i 'm very very sorry!  

Richard (Lander)-i'm thinking of going to either 
Hongkong or Singapore after Chinese new year.   could 
you please tell me if there's many secondhand record 
shops there? is it any good?  and is it true that many

nice shopping spots on Nathan Rd. has now become 
Chinese medicine shops?

Kevan, i really really hope that Beepsterworld won't
appear in my dream or i'll send you bill for my 
therapy sessions :)

Mr Chris, it's too late to say Break a Leg for your
London show.  so i'll say something else.  in case you
played badly - it could be worse!  in case you played
brilliantly - a big hug and congratulations :)

and as you may know, it's Chinese new year next week,
i have every intention of doing proper tidying and 
sleep a lot.  HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
and to everyone i've not say Happy New Year to before,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
oon xxx
