Next week off to Bangkok

-
I will be heading to Bangkok next week from the 5th to the 8th of September 2005 for business trip. Gonna be flying via Thai Airways this time around. No mileage points to accumulate because it's a special fare rate.

Time to exchange some Thai Bahts at my favorite Money Exchanger for the trip. I wonder what's exchange rate now. Pray that it's lower than the last time ;-)

My #RM1Challenge Trade-Up

Inspired by the red paperclip success (by Kyle MacDonald in 2005), individuals worldwide began experimenting with their own unique trades, aiming to achieve a remarkable exchange. The journey typically begins with an individual offering an item they possess, often of little monetary value, in exchange for something slightly more valuable. The goal is to continue trading up until the desired end result is achieved — RM10,000 value is reached by 31 December 2024.

Nintendo Revolution in June 2006

Gizmodo : Amazon.com France has slipped a page with the European release date and price for Nintendo's monolithic new game console, the Revolution. The release date is listed as June 15, 2006. The total, after conversion, would be about $365. European console prices tend to be a bit higher than here in the U.S., but this still sounds like a fool's ransom given the Xbox 360's $299-$399 pricetag. (Remember that Nintendo says its console will be less technologically advanced and thus cheaper than the Xbox 360 or PS3). Based on the GameCube's 2001 launch cycle, it arrived in Europe six months after it debuted in N.A. This leak gives credence to rumors that the Revolution could see a surprise 2005 launch. Either that, or Nintendo is doing some very cheeky marketing."
