Motivation - Very High but hit a small obstical

Whats on my mind.

I'm very confused at the moment. How should I enter Thailand? I have three options, and they are.

1. Enter by land (bus/train). I will get a free/cheap 15day visa on arrival. If I want to extend I must leave and reenter the country again

2. Enter by air. I will get a free/cheap 30day visa on arrival. Enough time but the flights are costly.

3. Get a 60day tourist visa from the Thailand embassy in KL. more than enough time but require an outward ticket to prove I will be leaving. and the visa costs me, So it will probably be as expensive as flying.

But there isn't much I can do about it today as its Sunday, so I'm off to look around the city. I thought Thailand would be the easiest place to enter but its proving not to be.

My plan is to head the the embassy and apply for a 60day visa. If this proves too be a problem or to expensive, I will continue over land and get a return bus to Cambodia to extend the visa.

I made a mistake

I feel a bit stupid now as I've made a very silly mistake. My battery has run out on my phone and laptop so I am unable to tell the time. So I purchased a $3.90 watch. Sounds okay so far right.
I was thinking to myself that there is no point spending $1 on a power converter that I can only use for a couple of days before I reach Bangkok that requires another type. But it didn't occur to me that i didn't have to get the watch if i got the power converter instead. Therefore I would be $2.90 better of. And I would have the video blog posted that I made is morning, as I would be able to use my laptop to upload it.

Anyways, I will leave the rest to when I manage to get the vids uploaded.

P.S. I know its only $1 but there is a lot more to the story, and I'm sure I've bored you enough already.

...

... oh, okay then. here's some more...

I don't want to have to convert any of my Aus or Us $s into Singapore $s, as I would have to pay the commission for currency that I might not use before crossing the boarder tomorrow. Also, as i don't have as much money as i would like, I'm having to cut down on spending dramatically. Every cent/penny counts now.

$1 is a days food for a child in Cambodia!! $2.90 is enough to send a child to school... And knowing that i screwed that childs life up... Priceless!!!
