  #SchoolRules

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 27/05/2016

  » One of the things I hated most about school was lining up in the morning, as one of the teachers went on and on about things that didn't really matter. Or maybe they did -- I wasn't really listening.

  #TillDebtDoUsApart

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 12/02/2016

  » Unless you've been living under a rock -- or in a place with horrible 3G -- you'll have heard about the dentist who refused to repay a 30 million baht scholarship and is now living a supposedly hi-so life in the US. Her guarantors were forced to pay her debt. After the news became widespread, she made a promise to pay them back.

  Baby, when the lights go out

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 05/02/2016

  » I loved clubbing. I used to party a lot in my early 20s, until the ageing process deprived me of the ability to stay awake, much less active, past midnight. What I miss most about those days is dancing to fun (and ear-splittingly loud) music in dark places. It was just so exhilarating, knowing everyone around me was too drunk to care. I have often wondered, why can't someone bring clubbing forward to like 7pm?

  Bringing back the memories 

  Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 26/05/2015

  » Nothing reminds me that I'm getting old (so are you, by the way) like seeing how much my former idols have aged, and the chances of realising this cruel fact has been quite high recently here in Bangkok, first with the Backstreet Boys' concert earlier this month, followed by Boyzone's performance on Sunday, soon to be followed by Blue next month. Should I also point out that some of these guys were popular when cassette tapes were still the mainstream medium?
