I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find the better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

I Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be naive

Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything'

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride with clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.

Bye bye 7610

Soon I'll have to part with Nokia 7610 simply because it won't make much sense to have 3 phones for 2 numbers. So I'll keep my M700 and N70 and let go of the 7610.

I don't need 2 mobile numbers but the company gave me one becuz my job is a "travelling job"

...yes and it comes with Nokia N70 -- one of the very high-end smart phone from Nokia. very cool, right :)

Nokia N70 in Silver Stainless/Black color and Nokia 7610 in White.

Still have bad 'tennis elbow' since earlier this year. It makes me feel like a princess :P because the elbow hurt so much that I cannot really do anything...even easy thing like watering plants in the garden. I lose gripping power so I cannot even twist open a water bottle. very sad right? anyway...I'm hoping it'll get better soon... in the meantime, I'm practicing using the left hand/arm :)

My little jungle

when I came visit home during the time I lived in the US, I went back to show picture of Thailand to my american friends... they were so amazed of the small garden in my house a.k.a "the jungle" :)

The other day...sunny day.. I took some pic of these plants in front of my house, which is a separate section from the main jungle. Here's some of my favorite plants -- those with white flowers/ red leaves.

CNY!

Happy Chinese New Year 2007!


nothing much to say...let's see by yourselves..



This is some of the food we have left...
already ate, distributed to other people,
and some already in the fridge...


in the fridge: more chicken, pork, fish -- sa Sae (three main food)
Fruits: oranges, apples, pears, grapes, pineapples, longan (lam-yai)
Sweets: kanom Kheng(ขนมเข่ง), kanom Pui-faai (ปุยฝ้าย/ถ้วยฟู), tong-yip, tong-yord, foi-tong (ทองหยิบ ทองหยอด ฝอยทอง), kanom-shun (ขนมชั้น), kanom Piah (ขนมเปี๊ยะ),...

I think that's all...hope I didn't miss anything.

This is my favorite. Fried yellow tofu soup (with shrimps). yummmmm.

This clear soup (แกงจืด) signify a sweet and smooth life. There should be one kind of clear soup for Chinese New Year. All kind of food have specific (good) meanings -- I don't remember all.


Chinese people have a lot of food on CNY to signify that the rest of the year we won't be starving :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this past Valentine's day, while driving home after the dinner... having too much fun talking, so I managed to take the wrong lane which then led to wrong direction.

Being quite disoriented with the area but I'm not the kind of person who back-up or take a u-turn :P hehehe.
I kept going and looking for an alternative route to get home.

Finally I got to expressway at Kam-paang-pett ramp and arrived home safe :)

นั่นไม่เรียกว่า ความรัก แต่เรียกว่าการรบ
เพราะหนทางข้างหน้าจะเจอแต่บาดแผลและความเจ็บปวด

It's January 2007 -- meaning I've been keeping this blog for 1 year now...yeah

No big party this year as celebrating events were cancelled due to bombs (8 spots throughout BKK) on Dec 31...

My brother was the first who called me about the blasts while he was at his volunteer duty bringing the injured to the hospital. Right after my bro, Nok was the second who called. Then I called some people I care about... some already knew what's going on but Kao+ and some people just knew it from me.

Kao+ jokingly called me "bad news bearer"...since I was the one warning him about the coup in September as well. So I told him, "you wanna know about the bomb from me or know it by yourself?! Well, it doesn't sound as bad as it seems.. we were just kidding to each other as always :P

A big relief to know everyone is alright... this is a lot better than a big party.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyhow, back to positive things for the New Year.
I'm so thankful for a bunch of new year wishes I've got. Here are some of them..

"Health makes all things possible. Wealth makes all things work. Love makes all things beautiful. Wish you have all 3 things in everyday in this new year 2007"


"Wishing u 12 months of happiness, 52 weeks of fun, 365 days of laughter, 8760 hours of goodluck, 525600 minutes of joy, and 31536000 seconds of success. Happy New Year!"


"May you find joy in unexpected places. may you feel at peace in your corner of the world. May you find comfort in little things. May your holidays be spent in laughter, love and merriment. I wish you a perfectly wonderful New Year!"

...and a lot more from friends and colleagues.. Can't believe I know that many people

Please receive twice of those kind wishes back to you ^^

My inspiration

After all, the best inspiration of my life is music..

I used to sit and practice khim (dulcimer) all day long.. as the sound was so soothing. I felt like breathing fresh air..and the more I practice, the more refine I play, the more beautiful the music came out.

Wanna play violin too.

^^

2. Work out at my gym -- feel the pain every single move of my body parts today... ouch ouchhh

3. Business cards finally ready

4. Live jazz band on the way back down from gym....oh my god, it's so beautiful. feel like breathing in a morning breezy fresh air

5. Found and post Diana Krall 'the look of love' song to this post ^_^
now you know what I mean above....

Actually love "Fly Me To The Moon" (live version) even more, but could not find one to post in my blog.

Moved

When I first started at my new job, since the team growing so fast, there was not enough space for me in the same area with my team,

so my boss had me sitting with marketing team on the other wing on the same floor...will re-arrange the sitting area later.

A few weeks later, I've moved again. This is also a temporary move...allowing them to renovate the front section. By the year end, I should get to sit with my own team. ..hopefully, hehe :)

Very cool VDO clip

A (super) model

A few people have mentioned how good I look in still pictures and hence I may have model quality :) Not sure if they just teasing or being sarcastic or both... but besides from taking picture of others, I do enjoy being a model as well... here are some evidence...tada

Freaked Out!

Last week, I suddenly got so freaked out for no reason... coupled with I got stuck in flood alone for 5 hours in the middle of the city...couldn't go home and couldn't reach anyone.

Anyway, it went away as soon as the very first day I started @ my new work. I felt very relaxed and had a lot of fun exploring new things and getting to know new people!!

I never smile so brightly the entire day like this for a long long time. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Been a week at new environment already... I've changed my daily schedule to early morning, woke up @6am, left home by 6:45 and arrive work around 7:30.am Although the commute is longer, but the traffic is better. I really enjoy the morning breeze while driving... (I wish I have a convertible car! ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coffee machine - make pretty good cappuccino

Met my boss on Wednesday, he gave me orientation more specifically on the Region team and the new operating framework. One of the sentence he said is very impressive to me: "I'm so tempting to throw work at you, but since you're new so it won't be fair"

He then set up schedule with appropriate persons to go over everything with me this week and next week.

I think that's a very good start!

~~~~~~~~~~

Just got a chance to watch Raising Helen - Kate Hudson, the movie is very cute. It got me thinking that sometimes certain things happen to your life that's not really your choice... and you may not like it at all... but eventually this unplanned incident might be one of the most incredible thing ever happen in your life.

I do cherish some unplanned things...like how I met some nice people
That's "d e s t i n y" ...r i g h t ?

Oct 15

Today we played badminton at a court in Sukhumvit soi 22. It's the first time ever that I beat P' Glen!!! yeahhhh ^^ it rarely happenned for me to hit the shuttlecock just right above the net (most of the time it stucked) but not today. Got several points in a row hitting such that to P Glen and he couldn't catch them. hee hee heee

I actually think the net here maybe a bit lower than at YWCA that we usually play... hmm anyway :P


The weather was very hot today and it was even hotter playing badminton in such temperature. Feeling like playing in sauna room. Nok took a break time doing some yoga move... I think she tried to do the famous "hot yoga" :)

Kao+ called asking about tomorrow if we could meet for lunch or something. He said he'll introduce me some of his friends. He's been busy traveling lately... although complaining how exhausting he was, I think he likes the job, esp the travel part.

^^

Jen and a guy

...I do understand what Jen feel ... hahahahahaha :P
