I
woke up very early last Saturday to get ready for “Thai Costume Day” organized
by my “Thai Pride Association”. I set alarm clock at 5am, knowing that I would
not be able to get up right after the alarm went off.That’s why I always allow
the clock on about an hour in advance so that I’ll be aware that I will have another
hour to sleep.That’s me in the last few years ; need much sleep and hard to get
out of bed. But all in all, I still have everything under control. Get out of
bed in time and make myself ready to execute my daily schedule perfectly.
The
first thing I did after a usual drink bottle of water of the day,is to get my
hair done. Cause I thougth it would be the most difficult part of my metamorphose
of today. In fact, I had practiced doing this hair style already a few times
earlier since last month. Just like every practice goes, the first time of practice
will never be real good. But as long as practice makes perfect, my next
exercises gradually become better and better.And so today my hairdo was
succeeded at a time without mending. It turned my expectation upside down. Thus instead
of the most difficult part as I thought, it was just “a piece of cake”.This is
the second partyhairdo’s I made myself successfully in 2013.
So
when the hair done, the rest runs.I have never been worried
about my facial make up. That’s what I count as my everyday beautification.And it
can be done in less than a quarter. I am glad that I have taken everything easy. I
had prepared a great deal of work sufficiently earlier in advance. Tasks and
responsibilities were already devided appropriately.And so today my team and I would not be worried
about anythings else rather than making ourselves pretty and aglow in Thai
costume to suit the theme of the day “Thai Costume Day”
Karel
left around 7.45 am to pick up 5 monks from the Thai Temple in Eschweiler. He
came back with 3 monks instead.I was informed later that one left to Thailand whilst the
other had to stay at the monastery to look after the location. However,good timing,They
were arriving at the place in expected time.
The
program on that day started with ritual ceremony.We,Buddhists, worshiped the
triple gems, requested the percepts and offered food as well as wares to the
monks, for instance. The monks chanted, blessed and sprinkled holy water to all
attendants at the end.Then we enjoyed lunch together.
Right
after meal, we took the opportunity of today to light candle ceremony for our
king Phumipol and our country.Thai pride Association wished everyone prosperity,happiness
and success in all fields of life. I am happy everything ran smoothly as planned. This was the
last Thai Pride event of 2013.
Few days after the event,some called to appologized that they could not come !!!! This is what I never understand. They should have called before, but they haven't. Some came already in the vicinity but suddenly got stomach ache before entering the room and so they turned around and heading home instead. And those who promised to come and never show up and never call. These kind of things are some characters of Thai people I encounter here !
Till
we meet again next year then.
