The weather has been spectacular this past week, with the sun spilling its golden rays across the azure sky and the gentle whispers of the wind sweeping past. The buds of the first spring flowers have started to sprout and blossom, making it unbearable to stay ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2010/03/a-perfect-saturday/ January was a really hectic month for me, what with the end-of-term exams and moving out of the dorm to a new house. Now that the exams are all done and I've pretty much settled in at my new home (which I totally love!), I've been cooking up a storm ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2010/02/raiding-the-fridge-for-dinner-ideas/ As soon as I turned in my last assignment for the year, my friends and I went up to York for a pre-Christmas trip. Since we purchased our train tickets at the last minute, the seats were all full and we had to stand for the entire 2-hour trip to ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/12/a-flurry-of-activities-before-2010/ I meant to post this at the start of December, but  I was busy with assignments, so...what can I say? It's only a few days until Christmas but there's still time to countdown! I'm not sure if I've mentioned before that Christmas is my favorite holiday, even though I'm not Christian. ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/12/counting-down-to-christmas/ One of the things Mom said to me before I came to England was, "Don't come back fat".

The first, as some of you may have found out if you tried to access this site, is that the site was down for several months. The reason for this is because I have finally moved my ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/11/living-the-nerdy-life/ Every evening at the office, I get little pangs of hunger that would distract me from my work unless I have a snack. Luckily, my office is located on one of the busiest streets in Bangkok so all it takes is a slow elevator ride down to the ground floor and I'm surrounded by ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/07/on-the-road-to-weight-lossor-not/ I don't think it's wrong to say we all have indulgences that seem silly to other people if they don't share our passion. For me, it's obviously food and stationery products; for others, it may be designer clothes and handbags. For p'Kaew, it's collecting toys, games, and figures. Every Monday, there ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/06/good-enough-to-eat/ You might remember reading in the newspaper about an incident where a Thai restaurant in the UK was investigated by the police because they were frying chilli to make a dip and the smell was so intense that the residents thought there was a chemical gas attack nearby. The story may sound silly ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/05/shed-some-tears-and-sneeze-a-little/ It's April, the hottest month of the year in Thailand - supposedly anyways. Instead, we get weather that changes faster than a PMS-ing woman's mood swings. These April showers like to strike in the evenings and when they strike, they strike hard. With weather like this, it's best to stay ... http://www.jupspintoh.com/2009/04/april-showers-bring-me-downers/
