Amazing Thailand

It's rather late now but I just have to put in this entry, even though I may not elaborate till tomorrow. But it's just so incredibly unexpected and coincidental that I have to share it now.

I'm currently in Bangkok on a business trip for a few days, and who should post a comment on the blog at around 7pm this evening ... but our long-lost friend Peter Tiong Khun Tzan !

He left his email (peter@magnusprojects.com), which I quickly responded to, and learning that he was actually right there in Bangkok, we arranged to meet up for drinks after dinner. Now is that a coincidence or what?

So here's the photo that has been, as they say, thirty years in the making ...

Yes, this is the chap in Form 5 Arts 2 who was the talented artist (I still remember he could draw the most remarkable ladies in all kinds of fashion. Real fantasy lasses with long, long legs!) . xxxx
It is clear that his artistic and design skills have served him very well. Peter now runs his own architectural practice (check out http://www.magnusprojects.com/) which services some impressive global establishments. He also calls Bangkok home, and has based himself here for over 20 years.

I will add to this posting later, but suffice to say it was great to meet up and talk about old times.

Further additions

I checked my archives and found a photo from around the time Peter and I last met.

Place: a Chinese restaurant in London

Year: 1979 or 1980

Fashion sense: For me - from absolutely none to bohemian (check out those Elvis Costello frames!); for Peter - cool and chic (what do you expect from a designer?)

Hope you had a good laugh ...
