Would You?
2007-12-17 21:42:00 Last weekend I had a get-together with an old old friend and perhaps one of the dearest whom I know since I was 13 (please, don’t count, I won’t tell you my age). It turned out that she got a PLUS ONE… Nothing surprises me regarding the Plus One for the boy is from the same school as ours and his mother... Continue reading More About: Events , Culture
This is MAJOR
2007-12-12 13:25:00 I’m still laughing out loud with what I found. I was youtube whoring today and whilst searching for something “Marie Antoinette” I stumbled upon this Uber-hilarious clip of a British TV Series by the same team that created AB FAB. This crazy little thing is called “Let Them Eat Cake.” It mocks everyone around The Court of Versailles during the pre-revolutionary era by both witticism and slapsticks. The ensemble is priceless. The... Continue reading More About: Culture , Major
I?m Married? to France
2007-12-11 18:54:00 Looking through my Paris photo album trying to find some materials to be used in future magazine articles, I stumbled upon a set, big one, of my 2007 birthday party back in February… almost a year ALREADY. Oh dear, I feel so old…. But I won’t tell you girls just yet how old I will be in... Continue reading More About: Shopping , France , Married , Franc
Le Come Back
2007-12-10 11:21:00 After a long absence being disillusioned by having to come back to Thailand, I finally saw my version of the Burning Bush. Bangkok’s ELLE magazine asked me to contribute an article on traveling CHIC in Paris. You know damn well who they could turn to when it comes to Paris but Little Me! Please apologise for my irresponsibility for forskaing all... Continue reading More About: Events , Back
Flora and Fauna
2007-08-28 17:06:00 Can’t believe it’s been almost a month now with Flor a and Fauna … In Paris, the only Flora i know is Cafe de Flore on boulevard Saint Germain while the only fauna there is hideous Pigeons. I really recommend all the Chinese traiteurs/restaurants there cook it to cut cost! In Thailand, you won’t get flora and fauna in the concrete forest of Bangkok, but in...

A little bit of French
2007-08-16 18:01:00 Today I get to really speak French again after I left Paris. It so happens that a French friend of mine, Jade, who is half Thai and whose father is in my family’s circle of friends, comes to Thailand with her friend Alice. And they attend my cooking school with me, for the first time, as a student of my own... Continue reading More About: Events , Litt
Memory
2007-08-15 15:44:00 Before I went to Paris, I shipped all my beautiful books from my house in Bangkok to my parents’ current house in Chiang Mai. Tonight I got a chance to unpack them, starting with excitement then ending in nostalgia. This picture is a showcase of just half of the books I have on Paris from...

Mother?s Day
2007-08-14 18:30:00 In Thailand, the 12th of August is our Mother ’s Day and the Birthday of the Queen. It is the Western fashion of giving a day to someone such as Mother’s day, Father’s day, Teacher’s day, and even Children’s day. I’m in some sort of a limbo… No special day is dedicated to me YET! Such a day as Mother’s or Father’s day... Continue reading More About: S Day
Noblesse Oblige
2007-08-10 18:43:00 The cooking school I’m working for now was founded by my mother and my aunt in 2004-2005. I had neglected its existence, well that’s rather too cruel, I mean I didn’t pay much attention to it until recently that my mum seriously expressed her fatigue over the telephone one day when I was also expressing...

Ayudhya
2007-08-09 15:51:00 Before Bangkok became capital city of Siam (Thailand) over 200 years ago, there was Ayudhya. That 700 years old city was burnt down by the Burmese after we lost a war. Legend has it that the Golden Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon was made of the gold taken from Ayudhya where all the pagodas are now but a well looked... Continue reading More About: Culture
I?m Back?
2007-08-08 18:04:00 After a long absence I’m again at your service. My god you CAN’T believe how daft my life has been after I left Paris. I cried like a mad woman whilst waiting for boarding with my over-weight luggages and then on the way I had a little crush on a 18-19 year old boy whom I think is half...

A Little Break
2007-07-19 00:41:00 Ok darlings! Forgive me for my absence… I’ve stopped my internet contract with Francetelecom now that I’m moving back to the Land of the Brown. Anyway I have contributed something to the French economy during the sale. I bought too many dresses for my mum, an Oscar de la Renta bag for her, 2 pairs of leather patent shoes (one is shown...

Disappointement
2007-07-04 01:17:00 I’m most appalled by the spring/summer 2008 Dior Homme under the lead of Kirs van Assche. I miss the energy that Hedi Slimane always put in the collections. This post-Slimane collection is just too yawn-making for words. The power of the youth is over. Now all I see is the same old Bankers the pre-Slimane Dior used to be. Surely there...

Guess what I found among all the creatively dressed people who grace the pages of these inspiring blogs, ladies and gentlemen… ?

2007-06-28 00:09:00 I’ve been tagged by my friend Franki from Life in a Venti Cup and I say to myself sure why not. Photo: by accident in the court yard of the Louvre a couple of days ago. Too Pete Doherty for words… Anyway, here is the 7 facts, voila! 1) Everyone I know back in the Viva la Third World... Continue reading More About: Tagged , Been
Jean Paul Gaultier
2007-06-27 13:33:00 I love Musee des Arts Decoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts). Last year I got multiple orgasms from seeing all the work from Cristobal Balenciaga, the “master” of Haute Couture. Now it features work of the French “Enfant Terrible“ Jean Paul Gaultier. I was impressed and amazed by this exhibition that I took as many photos as I could until the Dragon Lady...

Make sure you reserve a table in advance, especially in the summer where the tables on the terrace overlooking the Palais Royal garden are hotly sought after. Just imagine yourself...

I?m famous!!
2007-06-21 01:24:00 Just ten minutes ago I received a message on myspace from a Japanese boy stating that he adored my style. Then he introduced himself and talked about a project on a blog/website focusing on trendy style and possible collaboration, etc, etc. Oh, the feverish energy of the youth! Besides, he posted my photo on his current blog… My god, without permission. Had he asked... Continue reading More About: Shopping , Famous
Shopping Mall Culture
2007-06-20 01:50:00 Being from Thailand, I grew up with a Shopping Mall Culture . Since very young age, most activities in city people’s lives in Thailand revolve around shopping malls. When the tropical sun is far too sultry, we seek the free and unconditional air-conditioned shopping malls. When we want to do a promenade, why let the sun burn your skin...

Europe?s Eligible Bachelor
2007-06-17 15:34:00 After posting something about Taxis yesterday I really couldn’t resist posting this. I always support being an independent woman but sometimes it’s very very hard to be one. So in case you are tired of making your own way in the world of men, just marry one. And let me tell you that a mere millionaire is not nearly enough...

Taxis
2007-06-16 13:59:00 Finding a cab in Paris can be a real pain in the arse… Yesterday alone I re-experienced this fact twice. After meeting my Hong Kong friend at the library, we went together to the American Church of Paris - don’t get me wrong it wasn’t for anything religious but to get some help from their Mission of Mercy… At the...

A Little Place of My Own
2007-06-14 16:04:00 Eventhough I’m not yet married and not really a woman, people here in Paris tend to address me at all occasion as “Madame“. The title lifts me from a girl (mademoiselle) to the position of a respectful lady of class and elegance and perhaps of a certain age and sophistication. It’s lonely up here.
