Some photos from work-related trip

A goat from a sufficiency agriculture learning center of a village in Krabi


Stopping by a fruit orchard on the way back to pick up and buy some fruits from the trees!


The output of the trip: bunch of rambutan and Longkong (Lansium domesticum )! That's why I love people at my workplace. =D

Hectic Life at work: short updates

As the title might have suggested the reason why I disappeared for almost 2 months from the blog, yes, life at work has got me almost insane. I'd better not talk about it or it will took 3 days to finish writing and will be utterly boring to read.

Anyway, I'm still in Phuket working at the rate of 85 baht/hour (my own calculation using the whole month salary devided by office hours. But it seems like this month my salary rate is decreasing as I had to work over time quite often, so probably it would be somewhere at 50-60 baht. Yeah, sound pretty sad but as I virtually have no expense except for food, it's a pretty ok situation. I guess you can't really stick to this kind of job unless you really love it. Hm...As for me, I don't know if I love it but I definitely don't hate it. I really like my workplace and the people. Teaching can be frustrating and students are obnoxious (some of them) but it can also be fun. Overall, things are pretty good.

It rains quite often now and my cloths won't get dry but that can be eased with strong fan and iron. =P My dad came to visit be a few weeks ago and changed the battery for my car (he must have got tired of calling me to check when I would change the old one that has been used for almost 4 years). =P Then I drove with him back to Trang, with the speed of not more than 75km/hr. Yeah, I must have got used to driving an old car and I love it! =D Oh,I've got a name for my car (or rather my grandpa's car)! It's call 'Kai-Nui'meaning the smallest one in southern dialect. I think it's a cute name and very appropriate for my little car. =)
