\"Group
(Hey, that's me in number 13, my old junior high school basketball number… this was us trying to plan out our strategy against Mission Hospital during a friendly basketball match between the UN's basketball club and the Hospital)<\/p>\n

Can you believe it, one more month and I'll have been in Bangkok (again!) for a year… whoa, time sure flies. I still have one more year left on my contract, and then it's that time again… the "what do I do now" thoughts running through my mind – although I have to admit that these "thoughts" are always there.  Maybe it's in the blood with my father's family being Hakka<\/a>, supposedly nomadics of the Chinese people.  <\/p>\n

Trying to keep these thoughts in check is a pretty hard thing to do especially since my mind is racing a million miles a minute.  But there are couple of activities that can ease my mind, even if its only for a short time.  As you probably might be able to guess, its playing basketball and eating… I can't get enough of it. Turning 30 this year might make things interesting… i hope my body can take the basketball beating and my stomach can enjoy all the good food in Thailand!<\/p>\n

\"Orange
(In the match, it felt like our team was swamped by all these orange shorts – we lost 49-44… Photo by Muriel)<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients
(During our thai cooking<\/a> class last week, we learned how to make a few dishes.  Lim, one of the other students and a photographer for the Singapore Straits, took shots of the ingredients for our dishes.  Here's one for Tom Yum Goong… spicy sour soup with shrimp… yum!)<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients
(Pad Thai… Thai-style stir fried noodles) <\/p>\n
