In the Great Desert – Day 01

Well, first of all, I had been thinking about going to Egypt–one of my dream destination–for a long while but never really made it happened until now.  I was very much looking forward to it.
It was Friday March 13, 2009–the day that I would fly to Cairo with my sister and her husband.  This trip would take about 7-8 days.  Initially, we were planning to go to Japan but with the same amount of budget we finally changed our mind to Egypt.
My Friday was very busy with the work at the office.  (Actually, I had been busy the whole week preparing the work while I was away.)   I worked until about 6:00 pm. and hurried back home to pack.   My flight was about midnight with Egypt Air.
Well, even though I felt a bit pressure on time but I did not to worry about other stuff i.e. accommodation, transportation, etc. because I would go with a tour.   At first, we almost had to travel alone by ourselves and met the Egyptian local guide when we reached Cairo.  (If that was the case, we would not have known how things were going to be.)   But later on, the group members were added and finally everything was arranged throught the tour agency.  That’s why I was not so frustrated.
Arriving at the Suvarnabhumi right on time to meet the tour group.  The flight was around midnight so after getting done with all the documents, we went for shopping a bit; then headed for the gate. Ticket to Cairo
When we reached the security check point, the line was very long (and it’s longer than we thought).   What else could we do, except wait.  Passengers were all complaining and the final calls were announced for many flights.   Well, there were only about 3-4 security check points on the concourse.  Umm…I really did not know what to say.
Well, now it’s time to fly.  Hope it would be a pleasant flight. ekStamp
ตอนบ่าย วันที่อากาศร้อน (โดยไม่มีสาเหตุ…รึเปล่า) กับหนังสือดี ๆ หนึ่งเล่ม  ไอเย็นจากแอร์ในรถแทบจะสู้ไอร้อนจากแสงแดดไม่ได้ คล้ายกับบางครั้งที่เราพยายามอย่างสุดแรงที่จะพูด ทำ หรือคิดอะไร แต่ก็ทำไม่สำเร็จอย่างใจหวัง เพราะเราต่อสู้ปัจจัยแวดล้อมไม่ได้ จนทำให้เรา (เกือบ) ล้มเลิกที่จะเดินหน้าต่อไป  หากเราอึดหน่อย เราก็อาจเดินหน้าต่อไปได้ แต่ถ้าเราไม่ฮึดต่อไป เส้นทางมันก็คงสุดอยู่แค่นั้น
หลักสำคัญคือ การยอมรับและการปรับวิธีคิด อย่างที่เขียนไว้ในหนังสือเล่มหนึ่งว่า…
“…สาเหตุที่แท้จริงของความเจ็บปวด ความโกรธ และความทุกข์ ไม่ได้อยู่ที่อีกฝ่ายหนึ่ง (ผู้อื่น) หรือจากสถานการณ์  แต่อยู่ที่วิธีการยอมรับและวิธีคิดของตัวเราเอง” (EQ Note โดยโยชิโนริ โนงุจิ)

Tribute to the Late Princess

PrincessCrest
As one of the Thai citizen, I want to pay my respect to the late HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.   For the past few days, the royal funeral ceremony was broadcasted nationwide, I have been watching and very proud of our Thai unique customs and cultures.  So I sat down and tried to write something as a tribute to HRH Princess.   And here are two poems or verses or whatever you may call. Their contents are similar but written in different styles.  With all my respects.

“Now the angel had left the Earth”

Tears run down from the eyes,
Heads turn up high to the sky,
Blue as it could be blue,
It’s the truth of life, still so cruel.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth.
   

Highest in nobility withal lived the simplest,
Greatest generosity always give rather get,
Kindheartedness likes a river flowing down from heaven,
By purest love and care you were driven.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth

Shimmering Chaopraya at dusk gently flows,
As if all people’s loves are adrift with the wind blows,
Candles are lit up throughout the country,
Leading the way to eternity.
Now there’s one less angel on the Earth.

With love, we all are thankful,
With respect, we all are grateful,
May you rest peacefully high up there,
By Gods and Goddesses, may you be taken care.
Now the angel had left the Earth.

“Heavenly Home”

Teardrop
Clear, explicit
Running, flowing, rolling
A feeling of sorrow
Sadness
   

Angel
Majestic, graceful
Flying, leaving, satisfying
She’ll always be remembered
The Princess

Chaopraya
Glimmerly, flickering
Streaming, carrying, delivering
People’s loves are poured
Affection

Heaven
High, peaceful
Greeting, opening, embracing
The journey to eternity
Home
