Minto Midtown on January 8th

News from Winter 2007 ...

Quantum The South Tower is reaching its pinnacle and the official topping-off in February is fast approaching! The main roof level and mechanical penthouse levels are assembled and the windows are installed up to the 28th floor. Interiors are underway on Levels 6 through 12, as suites are taking shape with steel studs, mechanical and electrical rough-ins, “board, tape & sand” (gypsum board installation), priming and spray-texturing of ceilings.

Lipton! Lipton!

While walking on Silom Road today, I ran into marketing pitch by Lipton. They hired two famous Thai movie stars. The guy is "C Siwat" and I don't know who the girl is yet.

They had the celebs handing out balloons, posing with Liptons cans, while the supporting cast constantly chanted "Lipton! Lipton!"

  2. And if so, why, exactly, is this in children's size?

this blog has been renamed

γλύκισματα

Some people have complained that the 'sex' in Sexy Haseyo triggered alarms at work. So this blog has been renamed to glykismata, which is the Greek word for pastries/desserts.
