Jim Thomson







I must be one of the last not to know who Jim Thomson is/was. He was an American Businessman who revitalized Thai's silk industry. I guess the excitment is the Malaysian link ie he went missing on Easter Sunday whilst walking in Cameron Highlands in Pahang in 1967. Loads ot theories for his disappearance.

Yun Nam


Am I balding? the absolute truth is I don't know. But I'm certainly not sitting about waiting to see what happens next. Last month saw me experimenting with at least three different shampoos.....and hair treatments. And so, the final step is siging up at Yun Nam. The adverts are mighty impressive. My second session on Saturday was good. I think I'm almost getting used to the smell of ginseng. Here's the array of goodies I have to use on a DAILY basis. What with all these...there's hardly any time left for the face. I wonder just how much steroids can be absorped via fingertips. Cos massaging the lotion on a twice a day basis...means quite a bit of steroid seeping its away into the systemic circulation...ie I'm gonna be real fat soon. I think it's started to happen already.

I'm taking EXAMS:)


Okay I've finally decided...to take the first of many steps towards playing like Vanessa Mae...and prepare for some violin exams. Wish me luck:)

Diary of an ordinary woman.....by Margaret Forster. I bought this book from MPH Midvalley about a month back. Only reason I was attracted to it was the author. Have you ever had this compulsion to read all books by the same author ( when the first book you ever read was compelling ??)....The title was unattractive. So I left it and got absorbed with Georgette Heyer's mystery novel. Read three of them back to back. It's true and good advive never read a book unless you're in the right mood. Otherwise it'll be spoilt forever.


Currently at page 164. It's such a good book I feel I want to tell everybody to go out and get a copy. Forster meets 99 year old Milicent King, who has been keeping diaries of her childhood. The entries are written in simple and clear English. It's a really really good book.
