Bangkok breakdown

Meant to be more discipline in documenting my spend - I always roughly know how much I spent on trips but never the exact detail and breakdown. So I posted some snaps from my last trip here but the damage is as below:

Taxi to LCCT - claimed
Taxi from Don Mueang Airport to Pattaya - claimed
Accommodation in Pattaya - claimed
Taxi from hotel to Pattaya Bus station - 30
Bus ticket from Pattaya Bus station to Ekamai Bangkok  - 13
Accommodation in Bangkok - 160
Bangkok National Museum entrance fee - 20
Day tour to Ayutthaya - 166.78
Train/bus tickets from Sala Daeng BTS to Don Mueang Airport - 7
Taxi from LCCT to home - claimed
Underwater iPhone cover - 113.82
Eraman Duty Free gifts - 136.70
Not so legal documentations - 150
Food (as gifts), food, drinks and transport (train and boat rides) one week - 400

Total: RM 1,060.60 - 500 (per diem) = 560.60

At a glance it might looked like I did well - I didn't. Because it was a conference and I was staying in good hotel, many meals were provided. I suppose most of the expenses was due to the fact that I went drinking and since I was with my colleagues hence there are places that I would never go (cut throat tourist trap) but had to anyway since majority rules. The upside of things is that I have per diem to claim.

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...
