Straight Out of Bangkok

May 2000 Edition 

Welcome to my May edition!! ! 
 
 
 

Best movies of 1999.  Still think Sixth Sense should have goteen some Oscars.
 
 

Homefront, I finally got the right people to do the garden.   see for yourself!
 

  Nohting spectacular, I just want it plain and tidy.  Although there should be orange and yellow flowers bush all year round.






This is the view from the garage.

The new purple blue roof.  In a few weeks, it should be covered by yellow flower crawlers.

In Unilever world, it seems we are quite serious about growing foods business. With two sucessful acquisitions and one good attempt, somehow Unilever share is still not as lucrative as before.....

 Unilever NV - Wall Street

 Unilever PLC - Wall Street

 

         


ok, the Bestfoods deal is unlikely at the moment.  But I'm sure there are many more interesting companies in the market.....  I heard Nabisco is up for sale!?!   


 

Last but not least, I have taken the ancient Thai astrology classes for the past 6 weeks.   It's quite interesting as more like statistics and psychology rather than superstition.   It's a blend of Thai/Tibetian/Egyptian/Greek historical observations and records with Buddhism philosophy as a foundamental.   The understanding and awareness on the influences of the constellation, and the environment are the keys to determine the future possibilities.   It's very complicated, but I'm having fun learning and practicing.    Next two weekend-classes will be about Feng Shui which is the not at all a different thing from astrology.   Feng Shui is the environment component......  the arrangement of external things like color, layout, direction, and etc. must be balance and natural in order to nurture healthy and prosper living condition.

I will show you some pictures of the astrology charts and feng shui next time!

Meanwhile, be happy and have a GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrreat month!
