When I first woked up today after some training and breakfast, I had to go to a computer mall named Pantip Plaza Pratunam,
Delivering a Mac computer for friends of me living on Phangan...The change screen needed to be changed .. So nothing of interest.. I did that asap... So nothing special... Haha..
