I got back from the VAW (violence against women) conference/ workshop on Tuesday.
And on the last day, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, an important person who supports this cause and a Goodwill UN ambassador came to see the expediton that we did. Consequently, someone had to tell her about what we'd learnt and done, and guess who was chosen???


Yes.ME. I spent the day fretting and worrying and not being able to eat breakfast. But it all turned out well and here's a pic from the news.
I'm the youngest/shortest person. LOL

I was on every news channel and here's a vid. http://www.ch7.com/news/news_royal_detail.aspx?c=1&p=1&d=27172 
I'm the nervous looking girl speaking on microphone after the first 3 quarters of the clip.
It's all in Thai so LOL-AT-ME-FOR-TRYING-TO-PIMP-MYSELF-TWICE-THAT-HAS-TO-BE-ILLEGAL

 

Ahhh....it's nice to be back. *hugs you all

Even if I have to go back to school (which now starts at 7.20am)  and learn Physics for 4 hours in a row every wednesday. GUH!

Since my school is over 100 years old and is located on the old palace grounds, the community around it is considered to be historical.
Today, being the second day of my high school orientation, we went for a field trip.

I think we went to about 3 temples, we saw the old forts and walls, and we even visited an old prison, now used as a museum.
I got to see a documentary about prisoners on death row. The guide warned us not to watch if we're not comfortable with it, but I was curious and for the sake of education I saw the whole thing. I don't know what it's like in other countries, but here the prisoners never know their execution date until the day actually comes....I'm guessing it's for security reasons. And from the tapes, they didn't have any relatives with them either, they were walked from their cell surrounded by 20 guards or so, they went through some documents and while they were signing their names, you could actually see their hands shaking......Then they had their last meal, which most couldn't eat anyways, they get to call their family, and then it's off to the executional room.
About 2 decades ago, they used target shooting as an executional method. The prisoner is tied up to a post, and there's a screen between the prisoner and the executioner and...well, you know the rest.
Nowadays they use lethal injections. First it's something to put the inmates to sleep, then another drug is used to paralyze the body, and the last injection stops the heart.

Sometimes, when I'm watching the news. And I hear about the horrible, horrible things people do; rape, murder, gang-rape, human trafficking, sometimes I can't help but feel that the world would be a better place without them. But I saw these tapes, and it was obvious that all these men regretted what they did, and they would probably take it back if they were given another chance, but it's too late for that now.

* is depressed

Clearing my head now.
I tend to obsess too much over things that I have no control over.
Anyways the field trip lasted all day, I walked about 7 kilometres....o_O  and it was soooooooo hot! At the end of the day it was fun being with my crazy peeps, even if one of them kept singing country songs at the top of their lungs while crossing the street and almost got hit by a bus. :P And oh, did I mention? We've got homework as well....

WHY??? WHY MAN WHY???!!!!!!!

All I want to do now is go take a shower and sleep, oh yes..sleep!!!!



Wait wait wait, one more thing. I heard there's a certain spoiler going around about the finale. From Kristin..I think. Tell me this, in one word only, good or bad or normal? Actually, DON'T tell me if it's bad. LOL
NO DETAILS plzzz!!
I'm trying to quit spoilers, since the ending is sooo close and I don't want to spoil it anymore than I already have. But I can't help wanting to know a teeny weeny bit.

:D
