สาส์นจากพ่อ

วันนี้ได้รับเมลล์นี้มาจากเพื่อนคนหนึ่ง เป็นข้อความจากในหลวงถึงสมเด็จพระเทพฯ อ่านแล้วรู้สึกดีมากๆเลยอยากเอามาเผื่อแผ่ให้คนอื่นอ่านกันด้วย

*******************************************
ลูกพ่อ

ในพื้นแผ่นดินนี้ ทุกสิ่งเป็นของคู่กันมาโดยตลอด
มีความมืดและความสว่างความดีและความชั่ว
ถ้าให้เลือกในสิ่งที่ตนชอบแล้ว ทุกคนปราถนาความสว่าง
ปรารถนาความดีด้วยกันทุกคน แต่ความปรารถนานั้นจักสำเร็จลงได้ จักต้องมีวิธีที่จักดำเนินให้ไปถึงความสว่าง หรือความดี นั้น
ทางที่จักต้องไปให้ถึงความดี ก็คือรักผู้อื่น
เพราะความรักผู้อื่นสามารถแก้ปัญหาได้ทุกปัญหา
ทำให้โลกมีแต่ความสุขและเกิดสันติภาพ

ความรักผู้อื่นจักเกิดขึ้นได้ พ่อขอบอกลูกดังนี้...
1.ขอให้ลูกมองผู้อื่นว่า เป็นเพื่อนเกิด เพื่อนแก่ เพื่อนเจ็บ เพื่อนตาย
ด้วยกันทั้งหมดทั้งสิ้น ไม่ว่าอดีต...ปัจจุบัน...อนาคต
2. มองโลกในแง่ดี และจะให้ดียิ่งขึ้น ควรมองโลกจากความเป็นจริง
อันจักเป็นทางแก้ปัญหาอย่างถูกต้องและเหมาะสม
3.มีความสันโดษ คือ มีความพอใจเป็นพื้นฐานของจิตใจ
... พอใจตามมีตามได้ คือ ได้อย่างไร ก็เอาอย่างนั้น ไม่ยึดติด
ขอให้คิดว่ามีก็ดี ไม่มีก็ได้
... พอใจตามกำลัง คือ มีน้อยก็พอใจตามที่ได้น้อย
ไม่เป็นอึ่งอ่างพองลมจะเกิดความเดือดร้อนในภายหลัง
... พอใจตามสมควร คือ ทำงานให้มีความพอใจ เหมาะสมแก่งานให้ดำรงชีพให้เหมาะสมแก่
ฐานะของตน
4. มีความมั่นคงแห่งจิต คือ ให้มองเห็นโทษของความเกียจคร้าน
และมองเห็นคุณประโยชน์ของความเพียร
และเมื่อเกิดสิ่งที่ไม่พึงปรารถนาให้ภาวนาว่า...
มีลาภมียศ สุขทุกข์ปรากฎ สรรเสริญนินทา เสื่อมลาภ เสื่อมยศ
เป็นกฏธรรมดาอย่ามัวโศกานึกว่า ' ชั่งมัน '

พ่อ 6/10/2547

**** ฉันหวังว่า คำสอนพ่อที่ฉันได้ประมวลมานี้
จะเกิดประโยชน์แก่ท่านผู้อ่านที่ได้พบเห็นและลูกอันเป็นที่รักของพ่อทุกคน

ฉันรักพ่อฉันจัง

my longest and oldest group of friends

My full effort to get everyone together for a meal today. But because not all of us are here in Thailand, these are only the ones available. We never stop chatting, huh? Always destroy good atmosphere of the restaurant and all! haha =P

Thank Fah, Vee, Om, Oh, Tab and Nan for coming na!! Too bad A is on-call tonight. Mook and Kay, we miss you here too. Next time, let's come back at the same time na!!





Tab and P'Yo
Nan and Er+

Place: Iberry, Siam Square

friends from workplace

It was a wonderful time working with these people in the past years! Though now most of us are not at the same workplace anymore, we still get together once in a while. So much fun chatting and catching up with all of them. Too bad pTidtee and pNhee, the other two great colleages couldn't make it, especially pTidtee! But I absolutely understand ka. Hope to see you before I leave na!!!

Kaew, Yok, Vip
4 people from 4 departments - Pong, Mai, Yok and N'Paan
pTee, the programmer!
with Kaew and Kim~ (I was so surprise -- didn't know you two were coming!! So happy =))
Today is also Yok's birthday. Happy Birthday to you!
Khun Yok who just came back fresh from U.K. was so exciting cutting her cake
At last, pBig came to join (and also treat us ice cream!!) =P

Dinner with high school friends

It has been a really long time since I had a chance to join any gatherings with my high school friends. This time was just perfect, I am home when there is a gathering! ;-) It was also a great day to reunite with Yok, my elementary school friend who I haven't met since she left our school at the age 11. She doesn't change a bit! Also Aom and New since their return from Japan. How I wish they are still in Japan now!!! Meeting old friends was just great. A lot of them I haven't seen in years. I hope I am here more to have a chance to spend more time with them. You guys wait, k! I will come back!!!

AISE#3 reunion

pYui, Nute, Mai, Gam, Mew, Pan, Kiam

Another great time catching up with old friends. A lot of people wonder why we are still in touch until now though we hardly saw each other over the past decade. I guess it's the shared memories that have kept us together. We were first brought together in 1993 as the successful candidates to join an exchange program to the US in 1994-1995. Coming to think of it, we came from so many different places, hometowns, schools... etc... But the one thing we had in common was the experience living in the US with the unknown in the age of no internet. A lot of us were mental support for each other during the rought times. We also shared good memories too.

It has now been more than 10 years, but our great friendship is still held alive. Too bad we only could get this many of us together this time, but hopefully we will be able to gather more in the future reunions! Looking forward to meet the rest soon!!

Mew, Ow, Pan

Nong Nate

My cousins and their son, Nate. (Yes, I'm officially an auntie now!) =P My mom said he looks so much like my older sister, but afterward, we agreed that he looks much more like his daddy! (the VDO we had of his dad just proved that very true! ;-) )

Fresh Market in Rayong

Today I have some pictures of the local fresh market of Rayong, a province to the Eastern part of Thailand, a hometown of my mom. We went to get some ingredients for our dinner. The markets like this is hardly seen anymore in central Bangkok, but is still kinda common elsewhere. My mom told me that if you want to know about that place, browse through their fresh markets. It's not just the goods they sell, but it's the local way of living you can explore!

yummy pad thai
Kha Nom Kui Chai
bananas....S
Big Fish
Fresh Shrimps

tom yum ingredients
Veggiessssss

Computer and ants

Anyone ever had problems having ants in your laptop? I don't know why. This is my second time already. I realized there are ants around my bedroom. Traced its track and found its ending route inside my laptop computer! Gee, the same thing happened with my old laptop too. I definitely don't have food in there for ants to go in. The funny thing is that when I moved my laptop downstairs and placed it next to my dad's, those ants still chose to go only into my laptop!!! What the heck?!?!?!

A New Hair Cut

A brief touch of what I have been doing since I got home.

I got home late Friday night and directly went out shopping on Saturday with pTaew who happened to be in Bangkok on duty. We had lunch at Emporium with Jill and pBook, my family's friend before heading to Sum Peng! Then, I came home, had family dinner, watched Academy Fantasia 2 and went out again with my sister and brother-in-law. Gosh.... I haven't been nightouting for soooo long. Met lots of friends (including those from Japan - pTaew, Taweii, New and Om) and those I haven't seen in ages. So much fun.

Sunday, was a chill-chill day. But we had big unexpected gathering at our house. A bunch of my mom's friends came over for lunch - our house specialty (that yummy beef noodle!) Then Michael, my bro-in-law, and his friend. Then Eck and his mom later on the same evening for a visit.

Monday - we sent off Jill at the airport. And I spent the whole day with my mom wandering around Bangkok, plus lunch with Mommy-in-law and her friends at Penninsular Plaza before going to get our hair done. And I got a new haircut! yeehah! It has been a long time since I really do change a hair style. Now it's rather short (medium length) and super layered. No picture though, but I feel really light now!! =P The thing is... I don't know why I always get a hair cut after I bought a bunch of hair clips?!?! Now what shall I do with those clips?!?! hur hur..

Home Sweet Home

So I'm back in Thailand after a bit more than a year!!! So happy to be home :)
I'll make it short today. Gonna go to bed soon.
