In Bangkok.Part two. Political Days

One of the most untouristy things i did this time round i went to bkk was that i went to a political rally....0.o like whaaat? Really. me? and politics...usually never mix....still won't mix, but it was an interesting experience. Orange said it would be a 'small room'...well if you see the following pics the room didn't look too small though...hahahaha....and i thought it would be boring...well. politics duh. :p but with my camera going snap snap here and there and cheering for orange's god-bro's bro for his voting number...it wasn't so bad. :)woke up like at 6.
so we didn't have a decent breakfast.
pi art (orange's god bro) was real nice, drove us to the pretrol station store to get breakfast and all...
and and of course our favourite milk teaaaaa!
cha yan!:DD

so this was who we were there for.
orange's god bro's bro. aka pi jo.
the person holding the plate is the pretty jiejie, god bro's sis.
pi min or is it pi mim?
nvm. pretty jiejie:)

there. all our morning treat.
and the funny thing which happen with this tea is that when i went into the 'small room' some lady came up to me and point at my cup of tea and asked me something
( i presume she was asking me where i bought it from?)
and orange was too far away for me to call for sos. lol...
so i stood there like a big dumbdumb going..errrr...0.o..??
she must have been thinking. This girl so sombong don't wanna answer her..:( whoops.
sombong-malay for proud, not in the good way though.

obviously, it wasn't that much of a serious event for us...:P

these were the other groups cheering on for their respective people....

the center of the 'small room' ok. it was about the size of a big assembly hall.

holding the banner!

hohoho. orange. cheeky ah...:P lols

our section was one of the smallest troupes. I think it was just family and friends

orange and pi jo.

if you all watch the magic show on 'Fei ge's da ge da, do you see someone familiar in the pic?
I immediately thought of Erick lao shi when i saw that banner....
hahahahahahaha...

this was after the pollings. and pi jo picked his district's voting numnber...

the home team got busy to add the number 2 up.

tadaa. efficiency.

and the sea of 2 with pi jo's face was waving around.

so many people.

political people mountain people sea. :P

ooo. the media people.
reporters. camera man!

it was interesting to see live interviews.

the various candidates from various districts.

we saw these scene on the news just hours later...

i'll just leave the photos to represent the mood then....

this is pi jo with uncle and auntie

they are giving him flowers and wreaths as congratulatory it think

see. getting number 2 is good cause can just easily do the peace sign.
imagine getting 4....

It was really a political day with interesting stuff you would never get to see as a normal tourist.....

Take care!

immaturity. lol

from the chronicles of mail clearing: Buddha's Teachings.

Spent a few hours clearing my other mail box, the one for letters non related to work and all...and found a few interesting ones to share..i'll put them up under the chornicles of mail clearing. :D Ok, enjoy. :)

...

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him.. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy.

But when you love others, everyone is happy."

中秋節快樂

Hope you all are having A Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!:D

中秋節快樂!:))) 吃月饼咯！:D


On this mid-autumn festival night I hope all of you guys can have the leisure of a nice family dinner and sit together to (do old school stuff) haa! drink tea, gaze at the moon, carry latterns and eat mooncakes.
:)

such is simple happiness. is it not?
;)

Can't save your file as Jpeg in Photoshop?

I was about to pull my hair out when i couldn't figure out how to save the file in jpg format which i needed to print due for tomorrow. Thankfully,theres always the net, with all the helpful nice people around with great information some yes, others not so much, this one was my life save for today. thank you!
So as a pass it on for the useful information a got, i decided to popby here and post this useful bit of information for anyone who might need it and come across this page. :)

So if you ever encounter any such trouble just make sure before you panic and pull out all of your hair because your "save as" doesn't contain jpg, remember to go to your Image at the top bar and under mode change it to 8 bit/channel.

Image > Mode > 8 bit/channel > voila! now you can save in jpg. :))))

yayness to the internet info!:)

no this wasn't it though. ;P
Have a good day yall!;)
