yesterday night was Loy Krathong Festival
but obviously,
i have no idea about it until this morning... =.=
i felt weird when i saw markets selling these really pretty banana leaf boat with flowers and incense in it


photo credits to: google ^^

everybody was holding one
even my apartment made a giant one and place it at outside the reception
fully equipped with gorgeous lights and music...=.=
i was like: "what the hell is happening here?!? since when they become so hardworking!?"
so i ASSUME that they are just praying for prosperity (or fortune) SO i didn't care much and continue doing my things
but when i open the curtains that night,
i saw the moon
it was GORGEOUS!!
so i ASSUME (again...) that today must be a festival or something

i tried to google
"beautiful moon 2/11"
"thailand 2/11"
"thailand 2nd november"
"etc.."
but still no results
i gave up
today morning asked my friend only know
it was LOY KRATHONG yesterday!!!!
i missed it
damn!
my fren was like: "why you didnt go see loy krathong yesterday!!"
me: "how i know yesterday is what festival oh"
fren: "you should see lorr, why didn't you go?!?"
me: "i didn't know!!!!!!!! you got go meh?"
fren: "no..."
me: "=.=lll"

ok,
what they do during the Loy Krathong Festival.
in the evening,
when the moon began to rise on November,
people would carry one or two Krathongs (banana leaf boat) to the edge of brimful running water
then they would light up candle or incense in the krathongs and pray (i should have gone to pray for my marraige..damn! missed it)
this festival reminds me of 七夕 actually..
where girls throw oranges into the river and guys would pick them up! haha

during Loy Krathong,
they also releases Kom Fai (same as 孔明灯 lor...)

the next day,
when i open the curtain and the glass door,
a gush of wind just blew into my room
immediately,
i'm in love with today's weather ♥♥♥
then only i remembered
it's winter now in bangkok!!!
yeay~
after those few days of blazing hot sun
perfect timing for winter

ok,
you all might start to grumble and say
"where got winter in bangkok de..sot geh"
yes.
it doesn't snow during winter here
but it feels so much cooler and windy
almost like genting
and there you have it
winter in bangkok ^^


i didn't edit the pictures and as you can see,
the whole place looks gloomy and cool
and it's 2pm in the afternoon!!!
the hottest time of the day!!!
booyahhhh~
WINTER!!!

today,
while me and christine were having lunch outside
it was freaking windy
plastics bags were flying crazily
after that,
when christine hand out 20baht to the waiter
the money just flew away =0=
me and her chased after the note
damn humiliating
but still,
we couldnt find it
