i really love the ending tones of the thai language. how the thais say it. it's filled with sincerity, warmth and friendliness. while at the loy kathrong celebration, i felt that warmth i felt while in khon kaen 2007. it was beautiful.
can i just add i love their broken english?
when it was about time for lucky draw, the ajarn (teacher) called out "please ask the people outside to come in, cos it's time to be... lucky"
HAHAH.
it reminds me of P' who was telling us she cut short her hair because "broken heart". she meant that she was heartbroken after a lost relationship. even when it's so emo time, they can still be so amusing.
hmm... can imagine shifu saying now "don't laugh at them.." hahaa. haunting. shifu also told me abt the 2 year girl he loved most at ban chang named Pan~cake. i really couldn't help laughing. i confess i'm even still laughing now. In a bid to stop me from laughing, he says there's a teenage boy named cake... at best, it didn't help. honestly, it made me laugh more...
but hey, that's the innocence and simplicity of thai. compared to Jovan, Nathania, Hovan which are complicated names which i have freaking no idea what it means, i really very much like Pan~cake already. (the tilda is because of the way shifu will add a tone to it as he pronouce it :P)
at this note, it seemed almost inevitable that the convo steered to how shifu longs to return to thailand... tho he just came back :S his passion for the thais is a well-known
shifu asked me if i would return to thailand with him, i said yes. though i dunno how and when. (i still haven't go for taiwan shopping trip....) then he added it's not the kind... shopping and travel... for missionary work... (wa lao... feel so exposed... but yar~~ i know la! i want to return to thailand for missionary work... be it khon kaen or ban chang or some other new pastures)
i definitely need to brush up on my thai first. just as shifu says he want to keep improving :) siao liao... he speak to ajarn like so fluent still keep improving... i think i'll nv catch up man. and all this bcos in the sem we returned, my core module exam clashed with thai. next sem was time table clash. sianssss!!!!

Loy Kathrong... thankful for the caution while chionging over to not have to participate with putting the lanterns as it's abt praying to dunno what gods.

wonder what went in the convo that daryl says i must ask shifu about. i say it's ok, shifu will tell me later, and shifu turned around and said i will tell u later... but he didn't... hmm if it's impt think he would hv told me alr, so perhaps it's not impt. but that look in daryl's eyes. hmm.

in anything, kob kun ka~~
