More than a game
February 23, 2007
Video game console like Nintendo’s Wii brings more values to consumer and community. I read some articles saying that some play Wii for their exercise regimen and some treat Wii as a family entertainment. They are not new perspectives for gaming business but they are much clearer in these days.

Kong Dee Sensual
February 20, 2007
welcome to our newest member, patrick from ogilvy action, who joined us for our 2nd kong dee nite– this time in the form of brownies.
sensual suan plu, the restaurant we were at is quite popular among adheads that work around the sathorn-narathiwas junction, so everybody was able to find it quite easily.
a smaller group this time, consisted of nune, oakie, tee+, patrick and myself. most of the focus was on dealing with media agencies, and oakie was able to give nune and myself a deeper insight on the working process.
as usual our conversations start with venting and we all behave much like a support group–though i reckon it’s not withdrawal we’re going through, much more like angst.
but because it was kong dee nite – to ring in the new chinese new year’s, the conversation quickly turned into light and embraceable topics that concerned much bitching but was mixed with hysteria and the occasional blacking out.
an early night, with no photos. but everybody managed to go home in one piece.

i’ve been meaning to raise the topic about the recent “future of branding” seminar that was held at chula university last week.
so a quick breakdown, there were three main speakers, all talking on the topic of branding in thailand from three perspectives: the marketer, the advertising agency and the branding agency.
most of the bangkok coffee attendees also attended the seminar, which was really great, because we were able to touch on the subject lightly at last week’s coffee meeting. i think we all agreed that we enjoyed khun thana’s (marketing perspective) presentation the most–inspiring and gave me a mental note to start inviting clients to these type of seminars!
like oakie said below in regards of bangkok coffee, we’re slowly growing little by little. with the most recent meeting, our newest attendees are: jai – interactive planner from dentsu, and ant – planning manager from hakuhodo.
excellent.
Flying on the jet plane
February 9, 2007
Oh we hit 8 from 3 at the end of last year meeting. It’s a good sign, isn’t it? The gang meeting was started by the coincidence in arrival of Pip’s car and my car. Pip gave Nune and Ant a ride from office to Air Plane. Hesitatingly ordered some dishes, then Pikk joined with an itch to share. Tee pleasedly introduced a new comer, Jai – she is an interactive planner from Dentsu, then Ito-san from Hakuhodo accompanied.
Our flowable dialogues raced with those cars on the road besides us. It seemed sanitary napkins topic from last meeting was existed. Sharing included the suck and funny things in advertising agency as usual, how to utilize a planner effectively, client services’ gossip, reseach agencies, online stuffs – Youtube, internet, webboard, media agencies, and etc.
Welcome Ant and Jai for joining us, unfortunately, Ant have to go to Japan for trainning so we wouldn’t see her around for 5-6 weeks 
/ Ant, pls keep reading this blog for updates, we will miss you.
Last but not least, Ito-san gave Pip a one love song. Is it Valentine’s coming? (just kidding)

Some pics from Coffee Evening #5, one thing i learn from last meeting is to practice how to spin my body 3 consecutive times by going out and dance more.
One Night in Bangkok (Meet #5)
February 2, 2007
a homage to the live sex show going on at the table next to us at admaker’s last night. well, not so much a sex show as we wanted it to be, entertaining nonetheless.
the amount of face sucking going on last night did not compare to the total radness of old little ladies and fabulously flambouyant young men coming out to dance to knit-wear 80s contemporary rock.
an awesome turnout last night, pikk, a new participant – nune and myself arrive first, shortly followed by oak before we devoured a totally sick meal that makes living in thailand so wonderful – salted crab and papaya salad, deep fried cotton fish and mango salad, chicken tendons balled in fermented sausages, thin white noodles stir fried in bacon and salted egg and grilled pork in basil.
holla!
nune had to leave early, and remained an enigma to jay and tee who joined us later bypassing dinner and diving right into drinks, but i do insist that she exists! after a few drinks, my boss from hakuhodo, ito-san, joined us for a few rounds and marveled everybody with his language and amazing grasp of thai cultural skills.
it was highly exciting to have a semi-mature conversation on sanitary napkins with the boys including the most bizzare new category that’s not so much tampons, but more like the prelude to it… i suppose an answer to the asian market’s affinity of women not willing to insert anything (ie. tampons) .
so it’s a cross between a pad and a tampon, you don’t insert it all the way in, and you don’t stick it onto your panties, but rather you put it between your outer labia(s?).
i think we had as much fun talking about it as making semi-obscene gestures…when viewed out of context.
i’m sure we talked a lot more beyond that but this really stood out even after an attack of the vodka tonics and whiskey sours.
excellent.
p.s. i forgot my camera, but oakie too some pix from last night. i’m sure he’ll post them up later.
