one of my project will be finished this week.
a city hotel in bangkok that took me a year.
these are a few pictures from my camera.
I've been away from home for awhile.
And just came back to see many parts of my country has been flooded.
The houses, the roads, the rice fields, the temples and the people...everything.
I know we deserved this punishment for what we've done to this world.
But if Bangkok is the capital city so we get free pass for this punishment.
Is it the right thing for us?
Magga asked me last night for the reason of our city is free from flooding.
When I told him that because we live in capital city.
Then he asked me.....
if we are bad people to replace this suffering to others.
I didn't know what to say.
I just couldn't sleep all night.
"Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting."
"In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else.
It's important to combine the two in just the right amount."
“I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book.
I don't know how many books I will be able to write before I die.
It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying - please let me live until I am finished.”
"I'm not so weird to me."
"Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most."
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
"Sometimes I get real lonely sleeping with you."
from A Wild Sheep Chase
"Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they're also what tear you apart."
from Kafka on the Shore
"Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all?
Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves.
Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"

You may have seen them already
but I want to keep them here for reminding me that I love them so.

Magga came back from school with a piece of paper.
He told me that today he drew my picture in the class.
Due to his lack of interests in any kind of art activities,
he never wants to color, to paint or to draw anything,
to see my first portrait by him really makes me smile.
And of course....
it's a smile from the deepest of my heart as he always asking for.
