A man's story

Made the toppic sounds political. well there is nothing much there.. just had bad feeling about the Train park (Suan Rod fai) in Thailand. it is one of the beautiful park we have in thailand.

Since my cousin, Sandy(the girl in gree t-shirt) is here in thailand after her her long business trip. she plan to spend the weekend here in thailand and going straight to work when she reached the states.

I was talking to my friend, ple (white shirt) that where should we take her.. ple said to the train park... and i agree on that as the interesting section was the butterfly house. I want to take the pictures there for a long time. and another friend, Chet sugguested me to Kho kred, in Nontaburi province. which is very interesting place because Kho kred is still preserve the life of the ancent people in thailand. they are the pot producers in the Ayuthaya period ...(Not really recall on the history) and I changed my mind to take her to kho kred already ... Friday nite .. 10.30 chet tells me that he couldn't go as his boss called an urgent meeting.

so the plan is back to Train park since my cousin has to go back home in the late afternoon.




After every thing's done .. reconfirming every one ... things gone in plan but running little bit late but that's not a big deal. time is not the big matter to us

Once we reached there rented a bike each (20 baht per day) rided to the butterfly house and we found the big sign .. temporary closed for renovation ... Ummm !!!!! this is the 4th or the 5th times that i want to go there and it's closed..

and i never been there once since it's open..

but we had great time there ... and afterwards we went to Emporium for lunch and little shopping before get back home ...

this is another great hot day .. wish my cousin can stay longer ... really had great time with her .. ;)

Today I have dinner and chat with pisal and one of the thing he mention to me is the incident of Surak Anankhaphan, sustained burns while he was eating at the Oishi restaurant last monday.

So i went home and check out on the nationabout the matter

โ€�The incident may have happened because of ignorance. If [alcohol fuel is] used correctly, there would be no accidents,โ€� he said.

โ€�Restaurants should not allow their customers to refuel burners themselves,โ€�โ€� he added.


Surasakโ€�s wife, Papit Anatpan, 48, said she would not file a complaint with police, saying she believed it was her husbandโ€�s fate. She also praised Oishi for taking responsibility for the incident.

She said her husbandโ€�s condition was improving

I suspicious that one of the guy replaced the alcohol fuel used was the wax alcohol and it might drip to Mr. Surak and he try to put the fire out with water .. but the water and the wax would make the fire worse!!
coz the water would make the wax and fire runs every where ...!! that that would make the matter worse ...

any has any detail, comments welcome here ..

I just realized that the Mozzilar firefox could not display my chatterbox on my web ...
but on the IE , i can see the chatterbox on it .. this is very strange coz i went to Jeremy's site and there is a program looks life a chatterbox and it's working fine ..

lynn's chatterbox in Xanga is working fine ..

what happen to mine???

Yeah I'm happy for ur engagement. Wish you to have a happy couple life.

It was fun going to ur engagement today dispite early morning and heavy rain. I would arrive a little early if Note hasn't make a wrong turn to visit Mr. Chuvit first.. kidding(we suppose to turned at Sukhumvit 26 but he turn at 24).

the fried rice and the pourage was good .. also the punch...

Found this nice flash game at www.2how.com (a photography site).

It was really a cool flash game .. ;) can play aturl

Yesterday morning I was watching a news programe on chanel 3(Rung Rao Chao nee) there was 2 news that really catch me. Both of them are about youth.

1) A Group of kids (5 of them) go around shopping center and go around stealing mobile phones. the incident was in the news was this group went to the drink kiosk and order a drink and the group member take the moblie and left one to pay for the drink. and offcourse they got caught. and they give the reason that they doing this is to get the money to pay computer games and take photo stickers. they heard from the adults that if kids committed crimes, they wouldn't send to jail.

2)Parents of a 14 yrs old girl reported by the school that their daughter have missing shcool for many days. but the parents see the girl dressed in uniform and leave home in the morning.

so the parents follows the girl and found that the girl was in the hotel room with another 2 guys. one in uniform and one is not. one in uniform is her boyfriend (16 yrs)and other is friend of her boy freind is the one open the hotel room for them.

the mother of the girl was angry and shameful and she was going to sue the boy. but the girl says that he didn't ask me to come .. i was begging him to come.

and when asking about the money for the hotel. the girl said i am the one paying for the room by asking mom for the money claim to get school equipments.

she claim that she was having sex first time after seeing the pornographic movie "N' Nat" and enjoy sex ever since. the teacher claim that the girl is a bright student.

Man I wouldn't mind if she is 18. And in thai society they would not accept pre-marriage sex, especially from the girl.

I just realize how complicate the chinese wedding ceremony is. today i have a meeting at my friend's house around 4 pm but when every one arrived is around 5 and we all have dinner.. start meeting around 6pm and finished at 10pm.

we talked about the engagement:

rough schedule is

5.00 am arrived at the guy's house to put things in the car truck include the money for the lady side, 9 sweet, banana, sugar cane about 4 stems, sugar, gold, rings, etc.

6.00 am arrive at the lady's house decorate every thing. mother of the man side asking the parents of the lady's side for the hand of the lady. give the lady side the money, etc.

7.15 am give the ring to the lady side

end of the engagement...

but still people would stay arround and chit chat

....


on the wedding day is worse

both side wouldn't have time to sleep the night before ...

3.00 lady side has to get ready with the hair and make up. and pray at buddha image, chinese god, goddess about 6-7 places depends on the houses

~ 5.00 am the celemony of serving tea for the elders, etc.

~5.39-5.45 the lady has to leave home to the man's house. along the way must meet a monk (time given by fortune teller) and have to get to the bed room before 10.00 am (no problems)

but before getting into the room still has to pass along other celemoney stuff...

after lunch has to go to make up again and stand by at the hotel before 5pm before the evening dinner party begins

------

i wouldn't know all this stuff if i haven't go to my friend's house today .. i don;t know how my wedding going to be yet .. but it is lots of things to prepare for ...

Yesterday i just decided to go back and play Starkingdoms and also last night my friend, rut was asking me if i have a friendster account ? i said i had but didn't go for quite a long time ... some thing like 4 months .. eeerk eerrk ...

so i went back to friendster again ... if u guyz wanna search for me i use bic97@hotmail.com


ok, .... have a nice weekend ..

Umm it's not that's the notebook gone rotten as you might think. but yeah my notebook is gone sick. What people would called a mulfuction or out of order. =)

Well, the jack of the adapter of my notebook is broken. this is not the first time. the first time the wire of the adapter near the jack was twisted and all after been using it nearly 2 years. and I was going to get it replaced but the staff at Synnex said that i need to wait for about 3 days to get it replaced for free under warantee. I could not wait that long at that time. so i looked around the it mall for a notebook repair shop. and i found one. the electrician told me that it could get it fix by tomorrow coz there is no spare parts at the shop but if u really need it pls look for the parts for me and i'll get if fixed immediatly.

I was going wow....!! cool .. and at last i got the jack from the shop below and got them replaced in few minutes.

about 6 mths past and the same jack was broken again. the jack that the eletrician replaced is now kinna melt away the core and the wire....

hopefully i can get it fixed by tomorrow...
