Things get distorted here.Gotta look beyond the obvious

I was invited to a wedding dinner this evening.The bride,who was few years older than me that used to be my neighbour when i was a kid.For some reason,we haven't been contact like for more than 10 years.I am gladed that i was arranged to be in the same table with my "gang".Most of them haven't seen each other either.Most of them have been move away and separate due to different track of life.
Although everyone being changed,attitude change,appearance change,one thing for sure is that we share the same memory when we are kid.Something which is sad that all the places we used to hang out,the stuff we doing is no longer exist or being replaced.It 's a pity that the childhood memory once appear for such a short time.I'm glad that i have been part of this and i cherish it the most.The worst thing is it is vanished and everyones changed,some in a bad way!

Have been confused with the things that happens to me about the atmosphere around and the way people tend to act.Both in work and among friends .It is more easy to see people replace the truth with the distorted means of idea.I don't know how they can do that with lieing about the truth and make up a totally different story over it.It is alright if this is particular someone doing such stupid things.

What's worst is that everyone seems like being brainwashed with it and follow the lies to say something negative to positive and vice versa.Everything is upside down totally.I don't know if they think the same deep inside their mind.It just so bad when people around you is making lies over everything like making lies is as easy as breathing.It just no fun living with this atmosphere like the stupid one steal your air that breathe.It sucks really!!

I find life is all about a struggle with the fears.Sometimes it come to us as we feel totally insecure and the things ahead us turns blurry.What I think is that we have had made all the fuss about it.Yet,if we take a second glance on it.It doesn't even exist and it is not serious enough to afraid of.Or we fear it so bad becasue we are not in the majority like everybody else.If we still believe peoples are different and so does their way of living.Why we broder fear about it?

Sometimes you don't realize how much you've missed someone until they are literally standing right infront of you. There will always be a little bit of love that lingers no matter what.

Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.

The Loy Krathong Festival

Here goes some of the brief information about the festival itself.As it is the biggest and most colorful festival of the year in Thailand is Loy Kratong or Yi Peng, as it is known in Chiang Mai and the north. It is held on the night of the full moon of the twelfth lunar month and usually falls in November.
At this time of year the tide in most rivers is highest and the moon is brightest, creating a romantic ideal setting - especially for lovers. Thais see it as the best time for celebration on such a beautiful night.

Chiang Mai is one of the prime sites to celebrate the Loy Kratong festival. During the celebration, the largest Kratongs are decorated floats and carried on trucks in procession. The colorfully lit floats form a long glittering parade as they make their ways to the Ping River. Meanwhile, up above thousands of 'khom loy' (floating lanterns) drift into the night sky. These large balloon-like lanterns are released at temples and sometimes from private homes in the hope that misfortune flies away with them.

Loy Kratong is probably the most picturesque and most beautiful of Thai celebrations. 'Loy' literally means 'to float' and 'Kratong' refers to the lotus-shape vessel that can float on water. Originally, the kratong was made of banana leaves or the layers of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant. A kratong contains food, betel nuts, flowers, joss sticks, candle and coins. The making of a kratong is much more creative these days as many more materials have been applied in making a kratong.

The Loy Kratong ritual is simple one. One needs only to light the candles and the joss sticks, make one's wishes and let it float away with the current of a river or a canal. On that day, thousands of people will gather besides the canals and rivers. With Kratong in hands, they light the candle, put some coins in the kratong and silently make a wish and finally carefully place their kratongs in the water and release them to the current. They watch intently as the float drifts silently downstream, hoping that the candle will not go out. Its flame is said to signify longevity, fulfillment of wishes and release from sins. Altogether it is considered a romantic night for couples and lovers, many of them would make a wish to bless their love affairs as they float their Kratong on the river.
