Cups

These are souvenir cups. I got two sets for my mom which have two little cups and two little spoons. When I saw these I think of my mom immediately. Because she loves "a spoonful of sugar puts some medicine go down. The medicine go down." Oh! No.
Actually she likes to dissolve her chinese's medicine "Khom Chong Nam Toaw Tong" with her little cup. That is why. Of course, you can put espresso in this cup too. So, when she saw these sets. She said, "How's nice, it is for espresso." But I said, "No, mom. It is for your Khom Chong Nam Toaw Tong." I was not mean to her. Just thinking that it might fit for her medicine.

Persistence

There’s a Chinese monk had made a journey to the west for Buddhist scriptures with 3 followers in thousands years ago. He made a great success and came back safe and sound even he had encountered 99 setbacks on the trip. So, can I defeat all the obstructions on my way to success? It’s so easy to get my way lost in such a complex society, there are too many attractions to make me stop my foot and hesitated at the crossing road which might arranged by someone who want to test me. Similarly, I do believe this kind of test may have occurred to everyone, so the best answer for our confusion is “persistence” under this condition.

Fluster and Calmness

The last couple week were my fluster weeks. Many things and problems was happened with my personal stuff, my condo, and university. Let's start from the first week, I was exciting for the first day back to school and new subjects. The first day was fine with the new professor but next day that was Ajan.Kanchanoke's class, while my classmates and I were waiting for Ajan, the fire alarm was rang. Nobody moved because we thought that may be just fire training but it was true, someone left a burning cigarette on the tissue paper box (shame on him) in men's room on 12th floor. Everybody started to run and step down for the 11th floor by fire escape. I almost passed out. Two days after that, at my condominium when was around midnight. I was taking shower when the fire alarm rang. I got dress and came out from the room then I smelled the smoke. So I walked down by fire escape (again) though the first floor. When I got to there, security guard told that everything was under controlled; Fire was from the restaurant's kitchen, I was back to my room, this time I used the elevator. No, this is not done yet as you think, for my flusters. Next was my car, I forgot to pay tax of license plate. I had to go to the DMV which all you know that you have to spend time like whole day. Well, I had to pay the fine for being late.
Flusters keep coming more. The week later, my notebook computer was got virus which I couldn't do anything on it. I paid 500 baht to get it fixed and I was hurry to do all homework which was all most deadline. I was fluster up and was thinking with myself, what's next? Then on Wednesday, I've got the news that professor Sripen won't be able to teach us because her son has a serious sickness. I was so nervous and worried that who would took her place. As we know now who he is. Then first time that I've attended to class, he freak me out with two term papers, 2 exams, 4 hours straight of studying, and his teaching style. OH MY GOD! My classmates who are all younger than me, came and discussed with me that we had to negotiate with him and got some advices from Ajan. Karnchanoke. So we did and the professor agrees to reduces the amount of papers of term papers. Everybody is happier than before. As all the problems which I've pass that because I has calmness and fix the problems, once at a time. Don't get me wrong that I want to show off but I just want to tell everyone that all problems have their clue. You don't have to panic with problem which get into your life, no matter what, it will show the way out. Just be clam. So good luck everybody and have fun in this semester!

Ten Great Tips for Each Day

After tiredness from a Seminar's subject , I'm so sad because a translation is very hard and I have many personal problem.These few days are a busy times; don't give up , I will be passing the hard subject. I'm sometime feels both tired and discourage with I'm not a genius. A Language has sensitive lesson; it is not easy. This was my though in the past but now I have a new way; don't have anyting too hard for me and everyone in the world if you intent to anything. In this situation, I can learn a lot about the study and gain valuable experience about many small problem.

Today, I have "Ten Great Tips for Each Day" in order to a new ways for everyone.

First strp is stay out of trouble.

2.It is better if you have many aims.

3.Stay focused on your job.

4.Exercise to maintain for good health.

5.Practice team work.

6.Rely on your good partner and take your time helping others.

7.Save for rainy days.

8.Rest and relex.

9.Always smiling guy for every situation-for good or for ill.

10.Nothing is impossible; only start to do.

There are many benifits, especially patience and carefulness. To do anything, you have to plan in advance. If you don't plan well, you will just waste time in changing plan.

Finally, before go to bed I encourage my friends by short message from " The Emperor's Journey-March of the Penguins(2005): " Similarly, in every yrack of life, we are always challenged by problems from time to time. Hence, all creatures in this world do need love, effort, patience and strong heart for their happy survival." Good night!!!

Mankind duty

Helping is directly duty of human, if we don’t pay attention to help the others, someday you or person whom you love will be ignored when the troubles come to attack.

Helping is the activity that you have done to the others; support them for living their life happily whatever it happens by willing or necessity.

Helping people must do in the things that they please and not too much, you shouldn’t do in thing that you want or something that you think it should.

Don’t forget!!!!! The best of helping is help people to help themselves.

Did I decide wrong again?

Last wednesday, I studied in Seminar in Education and Business Translation and the teacher gave us translate a story about dhamma. It was very difficult and I was realized that I studied in translation about 1 year and it was not help me to improve my skill; I am still suck and I can't translate. I am very discourage; I knew I am not good in grammar and I can't interplet or sometimes I didn't know what story mean so I felt I was very suck and did I decide wrong again? Last 2 years, I chose to study in Engineering but I didn't the way of teacher taught so I quited. I love in English so I chose this major but I am not good enough so I didn't want to study anymore. I didn't like Seminar in Education and Business Translation's class. It spent times a lot about 4 hours; it was very stress me. I love in writting essay's class; I didn't lie I really love this class because I am very interesting in writting diary.

Sound waves

Today, I would like to introduce you about my next week lesson. The last week I instructed my children to know Vibrations cause sound, In next week I will instruc them " Sound moves in wave"
The first of all I'll asked them with this answer " Can someone describe how the water moves at a beach?
Sound travel in waves too. Sound waves are visible to our eyes, but can be heard with our ears. I have a piece of scientific equipment it call "slinky" that can help us see sound waves by swing, And then I have a valunteer in the middle of the class and hold end of slinky and pull back the wave like a sound wave will happend to us.

Certainty is Uncertainty

Some people say wealth is certainty and some say fame is certainty. However,I don't think so. For me, wealth and fame are only the nominee of happiness people need all the time but in the real life they don't forever live with us; happiness is in fact uncertainty. It comes and goes. You may be glad to live with them today but you can suffer from the coming great disaster tomorrow. Consequently, it's true to say that we cannot depend on anything uncertain at all and we need to realize of that to adjust ourselves into what's going on in life. That can make our lives easier.

How Many Friends?

Hi… everybody, today, I have the inspirations story to present about your friends.

The old man turned to me and asked, “How many friends have you?”
“Why, 10 or 20 friends have I,” and I named off just a few.
He rose quite slowly with effort and sadly shook his head.
“A lucky child you are to have so many friends,” he said.
“But think of what you’re saying. There is so much you do not know.
A friend is just not someone to whom you say hello.
A friend is a tender shoulder on which to softly cry, a well to pour your troubles down and raise your spirits high. A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair when all your other so-called friends have helped to put you there.
A true friend is an ally who can’t be moved or bought, a voice to keep your name alive when others have forgotten.
But most of all a friend is a heart, a strong and sturdy wall, for from the hearts of friends there comes the greatest love of all.
So think of what I’ve spoken, for every word is true, and answer once again, my child, how many friends have you?
And then he stood and faced me, awaiting my reply.
Softly I answered, “If lucky…one has I. You.”

//I wish you have more the inspirations with your friends. I think that we have only a good friend better than a lot of friend but who are the bad friends.^-*

To: Siamniramit Show

To: Siamniramit Show

This is my post of last week
that i have a publish post blog problem

On last Saturday, My boss asked me for take care visitors from German. In the morning I guided them to visit Emerald Buddha Temple and then at night I took them to siamniramit show. My boss offered me 2 free tickets, one for me and the other one for my sister so I have to buy one more ticket for my farther. At first I think the ticket fee is 1,050 baht including dinner buffet (my boss told me) but when we are there at the admission gate. Whatever Thai or foreigner, the fee is 1,500 for show only and +350 baht for dinner buffet.

I try to ask the siamniramit staffs give me a discount as we paid in group at rate 1050. Just only for a ticket. Finally they OK. In the siamniramit area, it’s look like an ancient Siam country. Everyone in the area dress up like the ancient people.

The shows start at 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm, about 1 and half hours. The performance told us about Siam country traditional and culture. The overall of the shows are very nice but I think it’s less information for visitor from oversea. For example when they show performance about Loykatong (ลอยกระทง) festival, they invite some foreigners and my guest to join by giving them a banana-leaf cup (กระทง) and ask them to put on river and then sent them back to the seat with out any information. Suddenly, my guest asks me that what is that? What is the festival about? Why I have to put it on river? After I told them a little bit information, they look very surprise and interested more in Thai culture.

In my opinion if the purpose of siamniramit show is a promoting Thai culture, they should think about detail more. Just gave them the information during the shows. Just show a slide or any handout. The visitors would be happy and enjoy the show more.

Do it today before it's too late.

On Wednesday, I went to my uncle funeral at Wat Chonlapatan.
I have listened a sermon that makes me cry during I’m waiting for my parent and my cousin coming (they are on the way from Songkhla to BKK)
In a funeral today, monk gives a sermon on the topic about parent’s benefactor.
The monk said that
“everyone knows very well that parent is a benefactor.
Everyone knows very well the way to return the favors to their parent but many people did not do it immediately.
Some kids said they are no have time to take care their parent, they are not free to visit or call their parent
but why? When their parent dead they have time to visit their parent in a funeral that it's too late for visiting.
For those who still have a chance today. You should do it immediately.
Plan for visit your parent as you plan for shopping.
What’s your parent want to eat you should find for them as much as you can.
Where your parent wants to travel, you should take them there when you’re free.
Do it today you will not sad when your parent die.
Because It impossible to eat anything when they dead even you knock coffin. It’s worthless.

Don’t shy to show that how much you love your parent.
Hug them. Kiss them. Tell them everyday that you love them.
Call them everyday as same as you call your boyfriend.”

After the sermon, my parent arrived. I go to hold my parent immediately.
They quite surprise what happen with me why i'm cry. I just smile and say “คิดถึง” (I miss you).

Now I have done a good thing for my life and what about you!

"Don't" Word and Life

Last month, I've got an forward e-mail from my friend that strikes my mind. The title of the e-mail was " "Don't" Word and life " which made me wonder about the text inside it. And I found these sentences:

Don't wait for a smile, to be nice.

Don't wait to be loved, to love.

Don't wait to be lonely, to recognize the value of a friend.

Don't wait for the best job, to begin to work.

Don't wait to have a lot, to share a bit.

Don't wait for the fall, to remember the advice.

Don't wait for pair, to believe in prayer.

Don't wait to have time, to be able to serve.

Don't wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies.... neither separation to make it up.

Don't wait.......Because you don't know how long it will takes.

Most of time , all of these circumstances have been through the people around me. When they looked back to the things which had passed in their life and they would found what it said is true.
Nobody know when all these will happen with yourself so the day will come when you will realize it. As you have known yourself, please just do it on the right way and the right time.

Did I do as the Romans do in Thailand ?

I always ask myself did I do as the Romans do in Thailand because there are still some differences existed between China and Thailand. I wish I can understand the Thai people’s real intension but sometimes I really doubt about my own judgment. For instance, I had to move my apartment from the second floor to the third floor because of a snake entered into my room which was a nightmare for me. I asked some of my Chinese friends came to help me. I almost moved everything to the new room with their help, so they went back and I also have to finish the rest things. When I tried to carry the last piece of the furniture to my new room I made a basin of my neighbor which next to the aisle dropped to the floor and broken into many pieces. My neighbor came out with the sound of the basin broken and saw me was trying to get the small pieces of the broken basin. I said sorry and told him I will buy a new one as a compensation, but he said that’s okay, just a basin, don’t take it as a matter. He asked his son came to pick up the broken basin with me. When we finished clean the floor I gave 3 hundred Baht to his son and asked him to buy a new basin for me because I don’t know where I can buy such a basin to give them, then I left. When I reached my room I saw his father came up with me, he refused to take the money that I gave to his son. What he said made me feel very impressed. He said: “we are neighbors, you don’t have to pay much attention to such a broken basin, Do you know Thai people’s Nam jai, if we accept the money it’s really a kind of shame in our eyes” I told him that I really want to buy a new basin for him but I don’t know where I can get it so I asked his son to buy it for me. Finally, he gave 3 hundred Baht back to me without listen to more explanation and left. I was touched by what he said and what he has done. Thai people always give a good impression. But on the other hand I really what to know that did my neighbor get angry with what I have done? What should I do if I want to make compensation in this situation?
