Arrived in the near noon. Woke up very early, he alarm rang at 5 am. My housemate got up and saw the travelling bag was downstairs. He knew i was leaving beacuse i told him i would rush straight to the airport. Perhaps, he has made a remark in his handphone and he got up earlier than i.
He called a few times but i did not answer pretending i was sleeping but he did not go back to bed. He on the light and i knew i would not be able to play the game because the i would miss the first bus to Phayao.
Well, better talk about the change in Chiang Mai. Two years ago, when i was here, i knew there was a bus running from the bus station to the airport. Yes, it is the Chiang Mai City Bus Company. This company impresed me much when my last visit here.
The bus was very clean and the conductress was very polite. They also distributed the phamplet to let the passengers know what route to go. As i went home be rail thus merely took the tour to the city and the airport of course.
In fact,the bus terminal is at the arcade, the bus station for the long distance and this makes life easier. Of course, the taxi and tuk tuk is much easier to travel but a little higher than this bus service.The red song tiao also convienence but you need to speak the local dialect, otherwise, it is still putong lehir.
Well, the bus fare has gone up from 10 bahts to 15 now. I went to Big C and rush to the cyber cafe to log this.
Now the cafe is full because the pupils are back from school. I don't understand why there are still pupils in uniform. School holidays started early of this month.
So, will log in again if thecafe close late.
OOya, this time, i really go for the comfortable hotel. It is called Arcade Inn. Just few hundred meters from the bus station. It is 490 bahts per night and tomorrow i shall take the bus to the airport. If travel by tuk tuk or taxi, it is 100 bahts.
There came a phone call in the morning , i thought it was from my friend that i was playing the missed call.Only few lines of conversations that i realised it was not my friend but from a university asking me to go for interview.Aha, you may think i should be joyful that i am getting a job soon.
But, to me, it is nothing much as these heads of departments are more interested in the skin colour rather than the qualification. Not going to say much as too much of complaints will not make me happier.
You just read one sample here. It is the same when i was in China.
Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University is looking for two (2) full-time/part-time native English speakers (American, British, Canadian, and Australian) to teach Business English courses to university students for the 2nd Semester (Nov 2007- March 2008)

To these people, they don't understand what is the langauge teaching and learning. Besides, it is a part of kawan untuk kawan as this site is control by the white farang.
I shall not likely to sleep tonight as i need to pack and get ready to leave by the first bus to Phayao and then to Chiang Mai then to KL the day after tomorrow. 19th is the day lah.
If i can log in will post another from Chiang Mai.
Well, i have stopped looking for jobs in the sawadee land though the friend of Pi Pai keep telling me that i am a good man ( gosh, did i say that ?), i had enough of those white syndrome.
Call a school in Nakhon Prathom and the expeirnced teacher ask for my nationality. There came the answer when he heard MALAYSIAN.
"I am busy in the meeting now.Will call you back in a few minutes."
I am not a kid, this type of polite turning down i had heard too often.Ok, hours gone by and i did not hear anything from him. If he could not find any suitable one, he will call or write, as i did apply via the tefllasia.com site.
What will my answer be ??
Tell u in my mail if you like to know.
Even i hv no job, i will not entertain this kind of organisation.
They have no fear at all as the Filipinos are here to fill the left over. http://www.siampinoy.com
Most Filipinos got 15k bahts and this better than a junior lecturer in the university. So a 10k would also be welcome to consider by these pity Pinoys .A ditator and greedy leader who left nothing for the people but only pains.
In fact, i don't need to be unemployed at this moment of time, it only comes when my contract expires next March. But i could not stand it anymore as the system is killing me, of course not me, the young generation. As a zhi (sound 1) and zhi (sound 4) zhe, i have to pack and go.I have no heart to see the young minds being instil with laziness.
Many pupils like to learn more but the system prevented them to do so, as we all know pupils are the powerless groups. They have no power to discuss their feeling.
So, i sacked myself. I am much happier than before because i don't feel the guilty in my mind.Of course i still try to find a job in this land but if you read the ad, you will know how life in this land will be. It is not the same as in our land. It is a discrimination in our land but here is very much a group discrimination but they would say it is the rules by the government but i did not know it. I got the work permit. So it let you ananlyse it lor.
The ad goes this way and you have to be fast to click the link http://www.teflasia.com/ajarn/browse_jobs/index.html as after October, there will be no recruitment ads and you can see it and porve my point right.
xxxxx Phithayalai School (a Catholic private boys school) in xan xoxx, xxxxx buri, needs a small number of qualified Native English teachers to teach English to Kindergarten 1-3 , Prathomsuksa level – Mathayomsuksa level (the students of Grades 1-12) in the second semester, Academic Year 2007.
Qualifications: - Native English Speaking (UK, Ire, Can, Aus, NZ, US, SA, etc.) - Bachelor’s Degree, Diploma or Certificate
So, how the native speaker of English is defined ? And why native speakers are sought ? You do your homework. This happen in China too http://www.chinatefl.com i think you cannot read many ads now as the semester has started
I applied last year on that ad but denied and half a year later, it appears again, thanks God, it should not be too good if not why looking for it again unless corruption go bad. Well, coruption is very common in this area.
So, Jamine, you know now why i left the middle. Do you think i don't want the money ? My past year was due to the contract and because wanted to maintain the face for Malaysian so i tahan till the end of the contract but the working environment is much better than this one.
I am not choosy but hoping to do something before i close my eyes , not sleeping la, call to lord, not be the lawyer but beside lord. hehehe.
So, i let others who want to do it and con the fools continue, i believe what is good will return good, hoa ren you hao bao lor.Dont worry, this community will be there all the time. http://www.siampinoy.com
Don't blame me lah Jasmine.i know you are always there to support me. I wish you all there a very success in you fields.I am going to retired soon. I have my hernia to worry about. Don't know what is hernia ? http://www.hernia.org
Got lazy but have to pack. Got the travelling case out and many ants were inside. Bake it in the sun for half a day thinking the ants have gone but alas, they stayed at the bottom part.
Got angry, i do not like to kill them but sorry, i have to spray the ant killer.

So the mail says it, how about, you have to judge.
Subject: HOTEL BREAKFAST - BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies, u must read this for safety precautions when staying in a hotel.
Please keep in mind when you are travelling alone and forward to female friends and colleagues who may travel alone.
To the guys, share this with your sisters and all those women you know. I've always used the menu whichhang outside your doorknob to order breakfast when on business trips. I wasrecently staying at a well-known hotel and I ordered room service for the next day on the flyer-like thing that you stick outside your door.
On thisorder form, one writes her name, how many persons will be eating, yourroom number, time of delivery and etc. I hung it on the outside of my doorfor collection - it was a mistake!
I had given someone all the ammunitionthat he would need. That someone went to my door-tag got my name and roomnumber. And then told the front desk that he was my husband (remember mytag showed 1 female name) and that he needed a new key.
The clerk WITHOUTASKING FOR ID OR CALLING MY ROOM GAVE HIM MY ROOM KEY! At 2 a.m . I wasawakened by my door opening (luckily I had put the security bar across) with a man's hand trying to figure out how to get the bar undone. I started yelling at him and told him that I was on the phone with the police. He shut the door and left.
I called down to the lobby and spokewith the Front Desk - I wanted to alert Security about the incident. Thehotel staff person said and I quote, 'Oops, sorry about that' then hung up.
Well, let's just say that I was both terrified and angry the rest of the night. Next morning, I spoke with a Hotel Manager whose eyes almost popped out of his head when he learned that his clerk had given an unidentified stranger a key to my room. Am I glad that I am typing this to all of you with my 2 year old kid on my lap. I don't want to think of what might have happened if the safety chain/bar had not been secured.
Please forward this to your female family members & friends.
As my sim care gave to the new teacher from China, then i retain that old. Most people do not know the number, including me too.I have to checkevery time i need to fill the forms. :)
Then the counsellor wants to have afarewell party. I am not going to be there as what she arrnages.
She told me last week that it would be on Saturday but yesterday that 'old' lady told me is on Sunday.
Well, i have told the counsellor that i am not interested in the dinner stuff.
If we do not dare to say NO, then the people would take the advanatge of you in the name of 'taking care of you'.
Please do respect other people for the time and personal activitiy. I think this very much a courage to do.
Why i lament so much. I just don't know. This festival is much dear to me this year. Pehaps, i did not have celebrate this festival for ages.
I missed the lanterns. Not that i like that 'thing' but the yelling, espcially the ringing of the boy in the last four decades. In fact, if i were at home, i do not think i would be so 'home' sick of the festival but the fact is that i am out of the home.
The mooncakes sold in Tesco Lotus long before the lunar August slipping in. I do not fancy the cake but the weather. Just as in the earlier post. The breeze is nice especially cycling in the late afternoon, the cold mixed with hot air is that you could not enjoy in the air-conditional room. No matter how you fake it.
Well, just one more week, this would be in the history. Certainly these few days are nice to enjoy the QIU'.
