Top 10 Indications that Your Life is Going Awry
10. When you are having a foot massage at Bangkok's highest hotel and your dear boss calls to ask about work. All this while you are rushing to catch a cabaret show.
09. When you cut your hair in an unknown hairdressing salon in Bangkok and the hairdresser misinterpretes "short" as "botak". Meanwhile, your wife is having a good laugh and enjoys her pedicure. And, you have less hair now than your baby boy.
08. When you wake up perpetually late over the last 2 weeks and have to cab to office. And all of a sudden, you wake up very early while on a holiday to cab to shopping centres. "Seize the day!" Tell me about it.
07. When you get rapped for your staff's actions by your boss and you can't lash out at your staff because it's not professional and not encouraging - the manager must act as the buffer between top management and staff. In other words, "blame absorber".
06. When you want to complete the Bible in a year and realise that it's now March and you are barely 10% through. And you act like a complete clown while facilitating a book discussion during a church meeting.
05. When you are gorging and putting on weight substantially and you still attribute the weight gain to nicotine withdrawal symptoms i.e. self delusion. And your wife keeps describing you as round-round and you are paranoid with diabetes, high blood and all.
04. When you nod off during a Lance Lambert message at the church's mezzanine amidst laughter in the main hall and your baby boy's cries in the prayer room. Then, you wake up and smile stupidly, not knowing what you're smiling about.
03. When your alcoholic demands seem to be increasing at an increasing rate and the total purchase of alcohol at DFS far exceeds your shopping bills at Bangkok. And your Tequila Sunrise tastes like mandarin orange syrup i.e. not alcoholic enough.
02. When you've been trying to exercise 3 times a week, and that turns into carrying weights i.e. baby and finger exercise i.e. typing. All this while your physical training test is slightly less than 2 months away.
01. When 3 transvestites/gays i.e. he-shes and he-who-acted-as-a-she kissed and made a pass at you during a cabaret show, and all the while, you wife is laughing with GEE!
