Bought new watch

[Froggy]

Yesterday evening went to buy some stuff for BBQ outside resort at a Tesco Lotus Express and found a small watch counter. Bought this simple Casio because it reminded me of NS days (but not same model as NS). Anyway its cheap only 480baht.

I am surprised too but then there are many in his glass case many many. Now I wonder if 480 baht (S$20.00) is paying too much.

I am not mad, as mentioned I felt something about this watch as it reminds me of my NS days, simply nice thoughts about what I went through those days with a watch similar in function to this, simple and robust. And yes I was born in a third world country, Singapore and today it still is and its people too, and yes I am not living in a third world country, Thailand, maybe not even third world but fourth world. So I'm your fourth world acquaintance.

Talk cock. Then you should get a M16 or AK47

Eat full nothing to do strip and assemble rifle. And if that's not enough, when you go back to your Moo Baan, on a Saturday night, offer to stand in for your security guards at the sentry. I guarantee this will surely bring back memories of your NS days.

Like to talk nonsense, just jiving.

The building is called The Bencoolen http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_28744/travel_site_14613/

In the past, all these watch outlets used to be inside The Albert Complex. But in late 90s, OG Dept Store bought over the whole building. Therefore the old timer watch outlets moved to The Bencoolen when it was built in yr 2000. Old timers include May May, 3D (3 Dragon), May Win & Tai Wah have since shifted into The Bencoolen.

In the past, The Waterloo St of the Guang Yin Temple & Albert Street were not pedestrian walkway, but traffic road for vehicles. It was during late 90s the govt turned it into pedestrian walkway...

Other places to buy cheap Casio watch are Bras Basah Complex & Mustafa.
