Author: Diana | Filed under: Diana's Diary, Entertainment, General Tuesday Nov 20,2007

That’s me para-sailing in Pattaya. The tour guide took this shot for me. It was like clock work with the para-sailing guides lifting one tourist after another.

Landed safely and got rid of the parasailing gear. It was some experience being lifted up to the skies and viewing the seas below. See the queue on my [...]

Author: Diana | Filed under: General Tuesday Nov 6,2007

The above ‘kolam’ was made from fennel cloth instead of rice beads in Gurney Plaza. That’s because from previous experience, beautiful rice beads kolam tend to be destroyed by some itchy hands and feet by displacing them and mixing the colors.

Here is the real ‘kolam’ made from colored rice beads. Notice the barricade around it [...]

New Water Bottle holds Liquid and your Gadgets

Author: Diana | Filed under: Gadgets, General, Mobile Phones, PDAs Monday Nov 5,2007

I’m not sure why you want to strap your cell phone, iPod, etc. to a water bottle, but just in case, BevyTech’s got you covered. The idea seems cool, but I usually throw my water bottles on the ground and there’s always that chance I might misplace it, so this is not for me. In [...]
