A man we can die for!

Yesterday (Dec 2nd, 2007) we went to see the decorations and all exhibition along Rajdamnoen Avenue. Walking through the avenue until Sanam luang (round trip) was 5 km. but no minute to be bored! It was a joyful time for all REAL Thai people. I must say!

LONG LIVE OUR BELOVED KING!

Loy Krathong Day

November 24th, 2007 is a Loy Krathong Day for this year.

One of the Thai loveliest festival in middle November on a Full moon day is the Loy Kra-Thong Day. It takes place at a time when the weather is fine, as the rainy season is over and the rainy season is over and there is a high water level all the country.

"Loy" means "to float" and "Kra-Thong" is a lotus-shaped vessel made of banana leaves and its stem. The Kra-Thong usually contains a candle, three joss sticks, some flowers, and coins. People light the candles and joss sticks and launch their Kra-Thong on canals, rivers, or even small ponds to give thanks and apologize to Phra Mae Khong-kha. (The Thai goddess of water.)
It is believed that a Kra-Thong carries away sins (bahp) and bad luck (choke rai) and wish will be granted if the Kra-Thong stays afloat and drift out of sight. Lovers tell the fate of love by floating their Kra-Thong together. If their Kra-Thongs drift away together, it is a good sign of love, but if the Kra-Thongs stay apart, especially at the start, it is a bad sign.

Today we'll join the festival at a private pound where we always go for walk 'coz we don't wanna got stuck on the rad.

Here's a Loy-Krathong song lyric

November full moon shine

Loy Krathong, Loy Krathong

And the water is high

In the gold river and the Klong

Loy Loy Krathong , Loy Loy Krathong

Loy Krathong is here

And everybody’s full of cheer

We're together at the Klong

Each one floats his Krathong

In the river and we pray

We can see a better day .........

Winter in Bangkok

Winter arrives and I'm still alive!

We still have lots of sunshine....

And a bit pouring rain for some day.........

Life is beautiful as always........

Rainy season

It's rainy season overhere......

And I'm still alive though I never like it!!

This year, it came so early and they said it will last until mid of Oct!!
Rainy season always brings wet and dull and it always cause of (seriously) flooded. Yes, it's not around my home but in many provinces.....But, it always cause an Internet problem all around Bangok!
I'm busy as usual and can go nowhere during the weekend. *sigh*

Anyway, I still always happy with my family and I might try some new course!!! Just knew that there're some free courses arranged at the club house of our community. My son will join a guitar calss and...I might join the water aerobic practice...or might revive my piano lesson,.....dunno....didn't decided yet!

Once a friend, always a friend.

Yesterday I went to join a get together luncheon party with friends from my old boarding girl school and it was such a great day for me (though I have to back home early 'coz my husband had an accident -- he was fallen down 'coz our terrace was wet after maid just clean it -- and now he can use only one eye until next week!).
We all laughed and have lots of conversation and opinion to share. Looking back, we all known each other since we were 4-5 years old and always keep in touch until today. They all are my true friends and I’m sure we’ll always be friend 'til the end of time!
