holidays gone..and welcome back cases of weekdays sigh
ive been away from writing for only a week but started forgeting how to write already! this is sad. hum
you know, nothing is quite nicer than blogging at(after) work and your boss popped up from behind ;x boo
i lll post up my weekend-stories soon
do you why today is a speech day? SELF-explanatory: people talk to much (than usual). as a public transportation user, i encoutered few odd things today. if you a regular bus taker, you probably know that a bus fare collector only talks when he asks of your destination, when yells out bus stop names, or, at worst, when chit chats with his driver.
What happeens this evening was that this fare collector talked like he was a city tour guide; describing the locations as we drove along, warning us to be careful of our belongings, and advising us not to talk on the phone while getting on or out of the bus. hmm maybe the Bangkok Metropolitan Department is reforming its services policies!!??
#2 oddness: new job created at the 515 victory monument bus stop. that is to “make sure buses dont park too long”!!

damn, i am so quitting this job. take away 4 precious hours everyday. that means, each of my day is worth 20 hours ;(
today is FRIDAY and also the Royal Cremation of the King Rama V, noted to be every 23rd of October.
for randon updates, got myself three books yesterday: 1) Built to Last, 2) Built to win, and 3) the Mckinsey Mind. i expect to finish one of each by the end of the year. also, at the moment there’s a national book festival @ Queen Sirikit Conventional Center; supposed to last until some time next week. Check out if you have a chance. not sure i ll make it there this year. often time i go without feeling like buying anything. but thats impossible cuz once you get there. you 99% most likely to end up going home with some pocket book or what not.
anyhow, what i had in mind for the last few days is about ’sin’ and how to make up for it. a colleague of mind said there are several levels of benefits one recieves from making merits/ helping others. the lowest level is small animals. for each life you save (or help/avoid) you gets one point. second is big animals.other levels being other human being in geneal–here is 10 points–, teacher, monk and finally your parents.
at this point, i cant remember the exact number for other levels beyond those aforementioned ones. do good to monks can generate you,say, 10,000 points of merit while to parents is like 100,000. the point being,while it seems counter intuitive, be nice to parents brings you far greater merit/benefits than you imagine. ironically enough, we often find it easier and less awkward to go to temples and buy monks some food and/or donate money as opposed to stop arguing with ‘the parents’. Hence, we strive to do the former. its SAD.
having said that. i set a new resolution: to donate more pennies to beggars for each adn every chance possible. Because if give 1 beggar some money every day for 12 month, my total reward-merit point should be 10*365=3,650 points. if i continue one for the next 10 years, it’d be 36,500 points. this should be enough to cover (pay back) small animals i’ve killed over the past 22 years. not having to mention ‘extra’ points contributions towards helping other living organisms. sounds like a good start to me :)
a moment ago this happened:
scene: me, resting my head on the desk, feeling tired; laptop, in front of me
mom: barged into my room to give me a clipper.
me: surprised, so sit up straight. realize all of my hair is on my right shoulder. try to hide “my art” with the backrest
mom: “did you get an tatooart?, doesnt it hurt”
me: still closing my eyes.deny everything i hear. hum…
mom: walks out
me:???????????????????????????????
went to see the premier of ‘The Legen of Rae Khai Fhun’ Chaliang the musical. Major crews are AF4 or 5 im not really sure. The story line was alright, a bit predictable but overall it was quite entertaining. Songs are great! especially if you are a big fan of chaliang. I totally recommend you to go. However, dont be prejudiced by the fact that most of all performers are Academy Fantasia (AF) celeb.
To my knowlege, there are two showtimes: 230pm and 730pm. For thos who book the night round, be aware that you may get out about 1130pm or so….therfore, better sit back and watch the show. dont check on ur watch as often ;)
i could understand why a mother would intentionally leave her infant around a garbage can. Resons vary from 1) not physically or financially ready; 2) irresponsible; 3) is simply an asshole; 4) etc.
However, what i do not understand is why a mother, who saw her kid eating raw mango with a dipping sauce a minute ago on a sofa a second before she walked upstair,could lock her very own child in a house!!!!!!!!!!! EARLY MORNING. fortunately, they all ride the same car.
