Summer #2

Hi, this is my second blog post. To be honest, I don't really have anything to say in This post. Throughout the summer, I have been eating, playing and studying for the entire time. Summer, for me, seems to be nothing but studying without teacher only. Actually, I think I gained weight a bit HAHA!, but that's not the point.

The point is when I heard that there was bombing in Bangkok, I felt very bad because Thailand's economy and tourism business have just started to improve. Furthermore, there were a lot of people dying and countless people injured in the incident. Although Thailand is a beautiful country where a lot of people are willing to visit, I think external threat such as politics, crime and pollution have ruined the beauty of nature and reduce the interest of the country. Bangkok used to be nicer in old days where there wasn't triffic congestion problem, crime rate was very low because most of the people had what they need. Well, I don't want to criticize my country too much because it's quite bad. So I'm just going to end it there. 

As I said before, I don't really have anything to say. What I can say now is that throughout the summer, I cooked many dishes. Some of them tasted not too bad and not so delicious, but I still tried to get the best out of it. I just kept cooking what looks interesting. Every time I cooked, I felt relaxed, clam, and so enjoyable. So what's the point of saying these things? The point is just "do what you want while you can" because you might not be able to do it in the future.

That is the quote of the day... HAHAHA!. Keep smiling !

Summer #1

It's almost the end of the summer now, and it's time for me to write blog post. Summer has been quite busy for me. Although I stay in Abu Dhabi, which seems to be a great idea for chilling, doing some work or even just playing around, there have been a lot of unexpexted things to do apart from those i mentioned. 

Firstly, my brother, which we haven't met for about two years, has been visiting me throughtout the summer. We have spent a lot of quality times and exchanged conversation about our relatives and home town. We went to Yas waterworld in the day that the weather was buring straight for almost 9 hours. Although I think it was pretty fun, the park was not as good as I expected. 

Anyways, what I've just realized from chatting with my brother is that Thailand has changed and developed very rapidly. There are new projects everywhere in Bangkok; for example, new skytrain will be finished at the end of 2017, new shopping malls are emerging even in the suburb area now, and most importantly tourism business is starting to rise again after crisis two years ago. However, the downfall of these developments is the attitude of urban people toward others. People seem to be using eletric devices all the time without spending quality time with their family. They seem to be playing games, surfing internet or chatting with the invisible person on the internet. Sometimes I personally believe that it's not a good idea to spend a lot of times with these things. I would have been great if the development had not changed people. 

Secondly, I have got my internship certificate.....YEY!!. Well, I initially didn't have an idea about attending to any non-paid jobs. HAHAHA!. However, I informed my mom that I wanted to apply for an internship in Thailand Embassy in Abu Dhabi, where my mom is working in. Although my mom has a job there, I did not use any privilege to get my certificate. I still had to learn everything from a simple regulation to a sophisticated one. I was working in Visa section five days a week as ordinary officer for two months. I had to deal with more than 50 people each day and it wasn't really enjoyable. Some of them are quite disrespectful and some of them are very polite. I learned how to check documents correctly and knew how to read codes in passport, which I think it's a beneficial skills.

Finally, although I have been living in Abu Dhabi for two years so far, I still feel the test of my culture when I spent time with Thais. For me, it seems that these things are hardly changed by external factors. I still act as what I did in Thailand; for example, in Thai culture when we meet older people, we tend to pay repect to them. Summer had provided some opportunity for me to meet with Thai people, so I think this summer is quite nice.
