Kaset Fair and Miss Sweet Eyes. ^ ^

I went to Kaset Fair, National Agriculture exhibition, which is in Kasetsart University about 15 minutes away from my house. Everything there is plants, pets and foods. My mom calls it "tamarind festival," because every years that the fair is, we'd found that there're so many tamarind venders set up their stalls on roadsides. I call it tamarind road.



Who are those people??? Oh, no... I hate crowd. I should have realized that I shouldn't come here on Sunday. It's like I flowed with those people and couldn't stop for anything. :S




"Chuan Chom" or Adenium obesum

"Chuan Chom" means being admired. It's named as Desert Rose. It's one of plants I like, especially the top-middle one that's pink and white. And the shocking pink at the top-right corner... do you believe that it costs 70 thousand Baht?!?!? Hmmm... maybe I can sell my car just to buy that.


My mom said that I have "hot hands," which for Thai language means I'm not good at planting. Yeah... I know it's true. Because every plants I used to grow, none of them had ever survived.

Well, maybe this type would fit my hands.

Cactus

Nahh... Even cactus, they haven't been survivors, also.

Do you agree with me that this fair is enjoyable for kids??.....

Beside plants, another thing I enjoyed was.... food. ;) There're many food stalls for me to ran around like a kid and followed some nice smells and looked for which one those smells were from like a dog.

Hahaha... I like this stall. It's students of the Faculty of Political Science's stall. They sold interesting juice, Police juice, Maneuver juice, PAD juice and DAAD juice. Which one you want to join??? Oops, sorry. I mean which one you want to drink?

Beside plant and food zones, there's another zone I love. Pet zone. :)

This poster attracted me. It says, "when there're movings, many people thoroughly bring their every furniture, except this..." I really want to stick this poster on the last owner of my dog's front door...

I should have known that this stall would get me in trouble...

These dogs want homes.
They're waiting for some kind persons to adopt them.

Gosh...

My weakness was attacted...

In the cage, there're 3 Thai dogs waiting for being adopted.

Also, cats...

After a big war inside my head...

Finally...

I adopted this girl, a three-month-old Thai dog, and named her "Ta Waan" which means sweet eyes. Her mom is a stray dog in the university.


Wow... such a big trouble I was in.


I called my mom to tell her about Miss Sweet Eyes. She said to me that... if I bring anyone home again, she'd be the one to leave home...


OK... that meant you can't back home with me, Ta Waan.


After sitting with her and thinking hard, then I found her home. :D
It's Seub's home. His dogs just died for about 3 months and his mom used to mention to me that there should be a dog in thier home.

Ta Waan's first driving her new home



Oh... it's her first time to have car sick, also.

After we arrived her new home, Ta Waan took time to explore her new place.

Then she found a space to hide away from us.

I'll give her some time to be shy. She mightn't know that taming pet is one of many things I'm good at.

Another one fine day.

I went to my teacher's wedding on Saturday.

I looked at the bride and the groom and thought... who said over-40-year-old women would hard to get marry.

I looked at the couple... and there's a question.
Did I and my bf look like this when he stood by me?

After the wedding, I went to a park where I love to go.

Because it's weekend, there're a lot of Bangkokians there.

Thai music in the park... I enjoyed it. :)

One of family's activities was teaching their kids to fly a kite.

I threw my shoes that I had to wear to the wedding away.





And let my feet touch the ground...


WOW... what a good feeling...

So many memories here...

Today I went to see my closest friend.
She came back from the USA and will go back there next week. We decided to go to some places where there're full of our memories, one of those was my high school. It's "Samsen Wittayalai School."


When I took the first step into the school, I was thinking... how long haven't I been here... It's about 6 or 7 years, isn't it.


Things there are quite different... They have a new roof over the tennis court, a new footpath and etc... Though things have changed, but memories and someone's shadows are left here...


The first place you can see when you first step into my school, there's Samsen's Buddha here. Everyone who comes into the school has to walk pass here and turn left to "Wai" to show the respect to the Buddha.

The new roof over the tennis court.

That means our juniors won't have to get tanned when they have Physical classes.

These are "propoganda boards."

They will have a board of students election in a few days.

And, ohhh..., look at the uniform...I miss them and used to wear them once.

Now you see many posters to campaign for votes everywhere, even in restrooms.

This one is the cleanest toilet in the school.

And although I was anywhere in Samsen and I wanted to use the restroom,

I would run here only.

The lawn look from above,

you'll see boys play football there and they make the lawn turn out to be a boxing stadium sometimes.

This building is where I studied when I was in secondary class (Grade 7-9).
And there're big propoganda posters as I said that they're everywhere.

The flagpoles in front of the building that I studied when I was in Grade10-12.

We called the biggest one "Missile pole."

The gym and cafeteria are still look the same...

The seat that we (my classmates) thought that we have a claim to it is still there...

Regretfully, it doesn't belong to us anymore...

Also, an ancient Thailand map

which has been being on the wall before I studied here is still there.

A lot of memories remain here...

We smiled together, laughed together and cried together. There're so many people proved theirselves to be my good friends and some of those didn't. I studied here, played many roles here and got many memories from here, also.

I saw shadows of my friends and I everywhere. I could imagine what we all did and said.. I saw we celebrate for the reward we won on the sport day together...

I don't really know how to end this... Now my memories are flowing and I guess I have to stop them before I'm going to miss them so much that I can't do anything else. :P

Hand-made crafts and a present for myself ^ ^

At the end of every years, I'll make some New Year's gifts for my friends.

Last year I made about 10 hand-made diaries and handed them out to my friends.

And this year, let's see what I made....

One of those is 25 noticed boards for my fiends, friends on the internet and my mom's subordinates.

I cut a big metal sheet into 25 small plates, made holes on them, sprayed paint and etc..


And.... well, this was what I got from making those boards.

My hand was swollen for a few days and my fingers have been being numb till now.

Another thing is 3 Christmas cards for friends who are at another side of the world.

The left was sent to the Great Britain, the middle to the USA and the right to Russia.

I know that they won't recieve them in time, maybe the cards want to travel somewhere before getting there and will be there after the New Year day.

The logo of my brand, "Khwan Khwan,"

I stamped it at the back of the cards. It should has been just only "Khwan" and the logo should has been only upper orange "Khwan," no the lower. I carved my name out of a rubber. And then I made mistake. I stamped it upside-down. :P So I stamped another above the wrong one and pretended that I meaned to create this brand.


Oops... the secret is revealed.


Anyway, finally, I got this logo and my brand became "Khwan Khwan" as it's showed.
And the last thing is 3 hand-made diaries (two for friends and another for myself).


The cover of diaries are covered by jeans cloth. The cloth was cut out from my new jeans skirt that I found later on that I baught the wrong size. It's too big for me and I can't wear it. Imagine about when I wear the skirt and it falls down just a few second after I button it.

That's why I made decision that the jeans should be something else but not the skirt.

This is the best way for the jean to be.

Inside the diaries, there's 2009's carlendar.

This one is a New Year's present for myself.

There you'll see my embroidered logo at the cover.

This diary, I made 2009's and 2010's carlendar intead of just only 2009's.

Maybe the late of the next year I may be somwhere and can hardly find stuff to make a new one.I plan to be in some place to do something for my life next year... Well, I'm not sure when, but I'm sure that it will certainly be next year.

So... this notebook is for 2 years. And I wish not to back home before the last day of the carlendar in my new diary.

If it's not easy, it's not enjoyable.

There's a sentence that I always use to courage myself when I feel tired of something


."If it's not hard, it's not enjoyable."


I want my life to be full of enjoyments.That makes me think...anything that's easily to get is not challenging and not worthy to be memorized.

So I always remind myself that..
Getting something easily is not enjoyable.
And if I want my life to be fun, colourful and worthy to remember,I must be ready to face the hardness that the world challenges me.Then I'll realize that..how beautiful the life after the hardness is...


Well, I believe that those are my philosophy.


The truth is...


I often give up easily.
I’m easily to be tired and discouraged. And I'm ready to flyaway almost every times I feel that.


On the other hand, sometimes I’m so confident and trust myself so much that I ignore reality and people around.


Sometimes, in being disheartening,I’d see that goal is so far away.And I think, it’s hard… to get there.

But suddenly,if I change my point of view, I suddenly think that it’s quite easy.That’s not hard… not hard at all.


And while I’m writing this, I begin to realize that..The reason of being tired, discourage and giving up easily… because my thoughts and feelings are based on my unhappiness.
So the view that is looked through unhappy eyes always looks tiring and the goal is so far away…

Family trip ^ ^

My cousin and I planned a trip for our big family. It was long time that we hadn't been on trip together. Five years, I think.

This time is a good time to go on vacation together. To be sure, I checked everyone that they're free during this period.

My cousin called himself a manager. We tried to find a place that wasn't booked. Finally, he found the place where we'd go.

Well, if my cousin was a manager, what I would be?

I found myself that I was everything, did every responsibility of every positions. I'll tell you what I was on the trip. I was a secretary, welfare staff, treasurer, labor and photographer. I wonder if there anything else I could be. :P

Anyway, I don't think I'll write everything on our schedule that we did. My cousin hoped that this trip was just to make us be and travel together. But I wished more than that, I hopefully that this trip would make us to be closer.

Our stuff were ready to be moved. You can see a ton of bread there. That's for our breakfast. ;)

Yeah, we're ready to go!!!

Hahaha, a group of our big family wanted to launch their business here.

The only one rule of this trip was to not talk about Politics.
My English uncle added "S" after my "Politic" while complainning that "I can't believe that a Master degree student doesn't know how to spell Politics."

Our dinner, grilled chicken.

The family parade

This was the restuarant that we had a big dinner. The restuarant faxed me a menu and I ordered food in advance. There're 12 dishes and free rice, water and ice. So I told us that "if the food aren't enough and you're not full, you can have rice and drink water as much as you can."

The trip manager and his secretary, welfare staff, treasurer, labor and photographer.

One of our activities was playing cards.

After everyone went to bed, I stuck these papers on the windows to say thank you to them.

Our international breakfast

Miss Everything was busy with the schedule and tried to manage the budget. She tried to do the best she could, since the manager told everyone that if they wanted to compliment the trip, they could compliment him. But if there's something that they wanted to complain, told his secretary.

This was our happy-ending trip.

Special Thanks:

Aunt Tor for everything

Aum (my manager) for this great idea.

Unlce Odd for the car

Mom, Mom Toi, Nock and Yee for helping me prepare our meals

Ink (the youngest sis) for trying to help me to do anything, though I had to ask.

Aunt Tum and Uncle Ron for thier tiny gas cylinder

Ae (the giant cousin in law) for his truck for carrying stuff.

And THANK YOU everybody in my dear big family for being a part of the trip.

I love you all. :D

I'm not a good movie critic, aren't I. :P

Last night I went to see "Twilight" with friends.



It's a movie about... well, I think it's famous enough to not say what it's about.


Someone asked me what I think about this movie...Hmmmm... Let me think.


I won't talk about directing (if I use the right word) or cutting film or something like that. I have no idea about it, so I'd better talk about something else.


I can't criticize the movie like critics from movie magazine do. I never read the book, so I can't say that it's more or less juicy than the story in the book like Harry Potter and his confusing life that I used to think about.


What I can say about it, then???


Well, I think it's not love.
I don't think that the feeling between Edward and Bella is love. Hmmm.. I don't want to insult them. There may be love, but I think there's passion more than love.

Moreover, if Bella took more time to think about immortal life, she might not want to be like that. Imagine that you'll never die... You live your life day by day, watching world and things around change and change, again and again. Well, it may be fun for awhile. But what you will live for?


Bella said that there're 3 things that she's sure about Edward. One of those was she loved Edward unconditionally.
And I think.. how much time she spent to get this idea. Only a few months, right? A few months made her thought that she loved him unconditionally.


.....Hmmm...


That's a passion, I guess.


Then I think back about myself. I used to think that I loved someone unconditionally. No matter what people said or thought, even warned me. I didn't listen. Whatever he did or whoever he was, I didn't care.
I was young... so young that never stopped and took time to think about it.


Oneday, I found that... only love wasn't enough. When your love or relationship begins, of course, love is the most important thing. But after that, you may realize that being together needs something more than love only. Like.. your bf/gf's attitude about anything, their background, where they live, what they're able and unable to do. Being together needs those also.


Because even little things can cause problems, right?


Though I don't want to judge Bella, well, I judge her already. :P But I think loving someone unconditionally, without thinking about those may be passion. And that is being emotional than being rational, I guess.


Somehow Bella had her reasons to fall in love with a vampire. Imagine that I were Bella, the only one reason that would make me fall for a vampire is he's cute and sweet. :P Where else on earth that you can find a lovely and... well, handsome vampire like this??


So if I were Bella, once I know that Edward loves me, I'd jump at him and say, "I'll dedicate my blood for you." :P


Luckily, I'm not. :P


It's a romantic, fantasy and (they said) action (???) movie for teenagers. I like it. At least, it's better than the other movies on the table. Someone told me that it's a girl movie. Hahahaha... I'm a girl, dear. ;)
