Tonight is Sparkydave & Porn’s joint birthday bash at Cherry Bar, so A is leaving Phil with ‘Auntie’ at Sri Racha. She goes off early as usual to get Phil to school and to head off to work, but she also wants to get her hair treated and trimmed. This is something that she hasn’t had done for about a year and says that the reason for not having it done is that it costs too much.
The last time she had it done, her hair wasn’t as long and it cost her 700 baht, so she doesn’t know what it will cost this time. I give her 1000 baht to get it done as I also want her to look good tonight.
In the middle of the afternoon, we get a power cut which is not something strange, but after 1 hour, I realise that the neighbours have music playing. I telephone A to find out what to do. She doesn’t know, so she telephones Kye who comes round about ten minutes later.
A telephone call to the electric company determines that we’ve been disconnected due to non payment. A has previously paid the landlord for utilities rather than direct and we hadn’t realised that the bill had been delivered into our mailbox 10 days earlier.
Kye volunteers to ride round to the electric company to pay the bill, but when she gets there it’s too late to make payment and she contacts A to say that she’ll return first thing in the morning.
I have shower ‘cool’ at 17:00 whilst there’s still some daylight and A arrives home at 17:30. She gets washed and changed, but there is not enough light for her to apply makeup.
We leave at just before 19:00 and we go to eat at the Thai Buffet next to Big C on Pattaya Tai before going on to the party. A veritable feast of pork, chicken and prawns with plenty of vegetables and just Coke & water to drink make this a healthy eating option and quite cheap as well at just 300 baht for the two of us.
After eating, I get A to drop me off at Witherspoons on Soi Buakhouw, as I need to do a visa run within the next two days. I make a booking to do the run on Wednesday as the Tuesday trip is full, however I am required to call in tomorrow with my passport and a couple of passport photos so that they can prepare the paperwork in advance.
Ten minutes later and we now make our way to the Cherry Bar. The place is busy as usual on a party night and apart from Dave, there’s a few ‘regular’ faces arrive during the course of the night.
Both A and myself are drinking Singha tonight, but as she’s not been drinking any alcohol for several weeks, it only takes a few for her to start becoming a little ‘mau’. I’d been worried that there might be some ‘stories’ passed to A tonight which could be ‘awkward’ to explain away, but I am lucky and nothing is said thankfully.
A spends a lot of the night chatting and dancing with Joy & Pun2 and makes the comment that Joy is now wearing more revealing clothes than she had done when A was working at the bar. (Of course I claimed that I’d never noticed this detail).
We get back home quite late, but there is no contact as it’s far too hot even for a cuddle with no fan or air-con in the room.
Expenditure :
Hair treatment – 1000 baht
Electric Bill – 700 baht
Thai Buffet – 300 baht
