'Siam Park' is NOT in Thailand. It is actually in Tenerife, which happens to be a Spanish island.

The website mentions that "Siam Park Tenerife is the newest and most exciting water park in Europe!". It is apparently set to reflect the ancient kingdom of Thailand.

What's mine is yours and what's your's is mine... I guess.

Crying Babies and Noisy Old Ladies

I went on a Virgin Atlantic flight for the first time last friday. Luckily, the flight wasn't full so I grabbed a whole row to lie down. My plan was obviously to get some sleep, at least for a couple of hours through the 9 hours flight. But I just couldn't sleep. Why? Babies!! Ok, all I'm going to say is that I don't think kids should be on a long-haul flight unless they've learnt how to shut up.

So in the end, I stayed up watching Sex and the City movie (which I proceed to cry my eyes out... don't judge me... I was in a sentimental mood), and Made of Honor (again, crying my eyes out).

On the flight back, not only were the babies crying, there was a bunch of old ladies talking and laughing loudly throughout most the flight. GRRRRRR. But I actually got more sleep on the flight back to Sydney. I guess I was more tired than I thought.

OOH! ok... did you know that they serve 'Virgin Cola' on the flight?

What does it taste like, you ask?
It tastes similar to the normal, un-virginized cola, but fizzier and sweeter. HEHEHE

William Willett invented daylight savings time because he doesn't want to cut his golfing time short?

He made a proposal of his idea in 1907 but sadly passed away in 1914 before the bill was passed in 1916.
