The last Monday was a constitution day of Thailand. That was a day off. I had an appointment with members of ALSA, not only for ABAC students, but there are Chulalongkorn University students also. But the members of Chulalongkorn University didn’t come to confer with us. We were in Star Buck Coffee shop at Siam Square. For the members of Assumption University students, there were 14 persons. On the other side, Chulalongkorn University students, there were 16 persons. The president of ALSA, local board, is a lady. She is a Daughter of a famous lawyer of Thailand and she is an Assumption University law student. Her name is Look-Keaw, but we called her Pea-Keaw. She asked me and my friends to sit closely.
The beginning of the conference, she talked about what we have to do when we are in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. We have to stay at Malaysia for 8 days. The academic days spend a half of all time that we have to be in Malaysia for this conference. The host delegation requires us to wear formal suit for 4 days. During the 4 days, there is Table Discussion for 2 days and another is Moot court for another 2 days. The commission that I’ve got is about Wildlife Trafficking. There are 4 Thai students that respond about this commission. I have to prepare for the presentation with my Thai friend and all of my table discussion friends are all ABAC students that will be better than cooperate with the students from Chulalongkorn University. Chulalongkorn University is the best university of Thailand. Students who can apply to this university will have very much self-confident and also e-go that will make our project failure absolutely. They always look us down, I can tell that because I have seen they did with my seniors.
After we finished the conference, Pea-Keaw, the local board president of ALSA, brought us to MBK, or we called Ma-Boon-Krong, to make name cards for this trip. And another purpose was to suggest the kind of formal suit that we have to use in this conference. Then we went to Sizzler at the 6th floor of MBK to have our lunch.
Nowadays, there are many e-mails that from the care taker of the host delegation. The e-mails, almost of all, are about the appointment, ordering the T-shirt, and the main idea for working with the commission that was sent to every member. I feel like there are lots of things, works that I have to do during this moment. I’m so tried.
This conference will change the future of me and my friends who will go to Malaysia with me. Because there are not many people who have a chance like I had. And the experience that I will get from this trip will improve my skills and abilities not only English usage, but also knowledge in the international law.
Anyway, I have to thank you everyone that give this chance to me. I promise that I will do my best and make my university, Assumption University to be a well-known to every delegation from other countries as well. I’m waiting for this trip.

ALSA
I woke up in the early morning on 4th December, 2007. This day was an ordinary Tuesday. I had an English II class on 9.30, and this English class stimulated me to prepare, I mean to read articles, before the class time. I can say that it seemed the Socratic Method that Americans law student do. When the English class ended, I went to Kai-Aob that is next to the ABAC McDonald’s. At there, I met Bowling who is my friend in the intensive course of ABAC, she was going to her class then we made an appointment in that evening.
The story began when the Psychology Class was finished. I was called by Joy to go to interview for the Malaysia conference trip, this is a trip of ALSA, or called Asian Law Student Association. At that moment, I was excited that why did they call me. I talked to myself that this will be a big chance for me. Therefore, I decided to go to interview. So I went to the Duck Pond, where ABAC’s students know as well. The interviewers were there already when I was there. They asked me to introduce myself, my old school, and then they asked about my activities that I have done when I was a high school student. So when I finished my introducing, an interviewer asked me with a law question. The question was about “if I’m a law maker, what can I do to solve problems about the fresh market and supermarket, like a supermarket in Lotus Express, etc.” During the time that I was thinking, I saw their faces and saw them smiled. I tried hard to think and find out what the answer can be. I didn’t spent a lot of time when I already organized my answer and told them that “if I’m a law maker, I would increase the quality of fresh market as much as possible because the fresh market is too dirty, nobody likes to go to dirty place. Further more, I would intervene in the matter of prizes of things that they sold because the supermarkets sell things by the lower prizes. That can effect to people in area to decide that where they should go. And then I would give benefits to people who comes to the fresh market and buys thing from there. For example, the benefit may be a coupon that can exchange with the excited thing, like a give voucher, a beautiful umbrella, or a fan. And the last, I would solve problem that always happen in the fresh market. The problem is cheating the scale.” After that they brought a new question that asked me about the new constitution law. When I finished my answer, they told me that they will call me if I have a chance to go to Malaysia with them.
After I left them, I thought that my answers were not good enough. I was so worried, but Joy tried to encourage me. When time passed 6 P.M., I went to BKK grill that was founded on the McDonald’s side of ABAC. Bowling was there already. While we were talking, then my cell phone rang. The unknown number was calling me and I was so excited with the feeling. I accepted the ringing. Then I already knew immediately that the interviewer called me and told me that I passed the interview as well. I was so happy. And now my greatest chance has come and I will do my best with the conference at Malaysia.

Goes around, comes around
This was a boring Friday. I came to Assumption University at 12.00 o’clock for psychology class. There was a lot of information that I have to read for the midterm examination, also for a quiz before midterm. The teacher taught in the chapter of depth perception. The chapter was made me feel asleep cause of the information that a lot. After the class, I went down stairs from room P51 to the book store of Assumption University. At there, I met my teacher that taught me when I was studying intensive course at Assumption University during the summer of our senior. His name is Brad. He was a really kind teacher I’ve ever met. At that moment, I was not sure that he can remember me, or not. So I tried to look at his face then he looked at me and began to make a conversation with me. I felt so glad that he still remembered me. We talked to each others and then he got to go.
Since he left me at the book store, I went to the faculty table and sat at the second table. There were my law senior. They were trying to do their homework, so I knew that I didn’t need to disturb them. Time pass too fast, I was starring at my watch to see what time is it, while I was looking for my friend that appointed me to go to a cinema with him, my cell phone was ringing. Suddenly, I felt wondering why this person called to me. The person was my ex-girlfriend. I accepted her calling then she began to ask me that she was coming to Bangkok today, besides she had no one to be with until 11.00 P.M. because she had to wait for her sister. She asked me to go to see her at victory monument at 8.30 P.M. I felt terribly when I heard that news, but I thought that if I don’t go to see her, what will happen with her. Then I said okay to go with her.
When I saw her, I asked her that why do you come to Bangkok because her hometown is Nakornsawan. She told me that there were two modeling asked her to come to make a profile photo, besides to make a good chance to her to be a model in the future. I congratulated with her, but I warned her to be careful because there is no one can trust in this kind of work. She came alone and I didn’t want to let her go to see the moldings by herself. Then I suggested to going with her and she accepted.
All of the holidays time, I went along with her. Those moments was a big great time that I have waiting for. She acted like we were a love couple that made me thought of the passed moment that we spent together, but we were not the same position, I already knew.
On Sunday, at 5.30 P.M., I was at victory monument with her and prepared for her back to send her back home. We walked to a van that would be going to Nakornsawan. When we had arrived to the van, she stood and turned back to me. She smiled to me and then she told me that if she can apply to a university in Bangkok, then we should try out around Bangkok together. I was dreamed for a while, after that she got on a van and the van left.
I thought that the things that I have done would be the best things that I can do for her, the one that I can’t forget no matter what I try.
Right now, I’m making up my mind. I need time. And I usually think that at least, we can be friend that can take care to each others without loved feeling.

Lonely LoyKraTong Day
On 24th November, that is LoyKraTong day, Thai people usually go out with their family, friends, or their boyfriend or girlfriend. There are many reasons that make people believe about this day. For example, people who go to release the KraTong with their couple, boyfriend or girlfriend, at Chulalongkorn University, will broke up with their present love.
Exactly, this culture aims to make Thai people think of or realize about the surrounding things, environment, especially rivers. We believe that if we release the KraTong that means we respect the mother of the water, called PraMaeKongKa. And this culture was established since the age of SuKoaThai is a capital of Thailand, so long time ago.
How about my trip on LoyKraTong day? I went to Chulalongkorn University. The story was begun by my brother. Actually, he may be my sister as well, I mean he’s not a real guy. He asked me to go with him because he was getting some hurts from his love. At that moment, I really felt don’t want to go anywhere because I really sick of crowded, but my brother was so pity then I accepted his invited.
I met him at Siam Centre at 8.30 P.M. exactly, we had appointed to meet each other at 7.30 P.M., we were late either cause of traffic jam. We walked from Siam Centre to Chulalongkorn University, it took times for more 30 minutes, so many people their on the sidewalk.
When we arrived to the pond of Chulalongkorn University, my brother began to cry and I really don’t know why. I was so wondered! And then he told me that he saw his ex-boyfriend, he came with another boy. I can only just try to appease him. He held my hand and walked to a shop that sold KarTong. We bought it and walked to the pond then we released it, released with the pains, the tears, and unlucky things. We also trusted in those.
After we released the KraTong, the next, we have to hurry to find some way to get back home because of late night, but he asked me to go to some pub near our homes. so I went there with him, after that his friends came to the pub and my friends came either. I was there for a hour and I realized that I have to get back home as fast as possible because it passed mid-night. Therefore, I left there alone. I got on a taxi and time during the way back home, I thought of many things that i didn't do well and I told myself that i will change it to be better than that I was, up to now. When I arrived home, I knew that no ones i my family stayed awake that made me feel safely from the complaining of my parents that I was home late.
That was the day that I feel like I’m so lonely, even though, I have many ones around me.

The Last Holiday
There was something happened to change in my life and I hope it can’t be true. The last Saturday is my mother and my sister birthday. Before the day, I went to The Mall Ngam-Wong-Wan and then I went to 3rd floor. At the floor, there were a lot of presents that I can find a thing to give my mother on her birthday. While I was seeking for a present then I found closed friend who is my friend in secondary school. She helped me to find a present and then we found a red box that was a very beautiful thing. I bought it. And then I tried to find another present for my sister and I bought a pretty monkey doll for her. When I already did everything that I have to do then I went to my grand mother home at Viphawadi Road. There were my grand mother, my aunt, my uncle, and my cousin at the home. Everyone already prepared themselves to go to a restaurant at Bang-Kun-Thien, where is the only place in Bangkok that next to the sea.
I went to a restaurant that has a good view to stair at the sea. There were ships that were going to the ocean and some of them were coming to the port. Not for long time after I arrived the restaurant, my mother, my father and my sister arrived the restaurant. We ate a lot of sea food. We talked to each others with the happiness. When we all finished our meal, we gave the presents to my sister and my mother. They were very happy and we were glad to see the smile on their faces. We had an ice-cream cake that my aunt bought from Swensen’s, the black forest cake. It was very delicious.
When we came back home, that time was around 5.30 P.M., I went out to JJ or we knew in the name of “Ja-Tu-Jak holidays market.” There are many merchants that came to buy the second-hand things, dresses, bags, and others. I went there with my friends and I walked for a long time. Almost of time that I spent with my friends, it was a lot of conversations and laughing. I went home and met the traffic jams. I spent almost 2 hours to arrive home. I was sick of the traffic of Bangkok.
The same day, late night, I read a book that is a story of Dragon and the Dragoon. It is 2nd part of Eragon, it’s called Eldest. This book can make me forget other things that can make me nervous, such as thinking of ex-girlfriend or worried about grade of the 1st semester. I read it until my eyes can’t focus on the letters in the book then I fell into the dream. I dreamed of my ex- girlfriend that I and she were going to crash by a car, but I push her away from the sidewalk and I died. It was a bad dream. I tried to sleep again. When I woke up late in the next day, I called her and told her what I had dreamed of and she said “thank you” to me. That moment it was a greatest moment that I’ve been waiting for. She was very kind to me, even tough we already separated.
Those were the many things that happened to me in the last holiday. I just only hope that my dream will never come true.

The Money Sucker
Today, I woke up in the early morning. And then I looked for my pocket and then I found that there was no money in my pocket. I realized and thought back of yesterday and then I found the reason that why I lost my money.Yesterday, I went to Ta-Wan-Na, it’s a market and plaza at Bang-Ka-Pi. There are many things they sold. That I can tell this place is very interesting. I went there with my brother, my sister, and my closed friend from other university. But before we went to Ta-Wan-Na, we met each others at The Mall Bang-Ka-Pi and when every ones came then we went to The Pizza Company, at there we ate too much. I felt fully in my stomach and the others felt the same as me. We went to a clinic that treats about the face problems; acne, dark spots on face because my sister has a problem with acne. After that we went to Ta-Wan-Na so we bought a lot of things that we like. For me, I bought a jacket that was a Korean style, it cost for 490 baths. I thought it too expensive, but I bought because I really like it. And another thing was a second hand bag that from Japan, it cost for 350 baths. And after we hang around for several hours, it might be five hours, we went to a restaurant, a buffet restaurant. We ate like we didn’t have anything for long time. We felt fully again and then we all went back to home. I got in a van that was going to The Mall Ngam-Wong-Wan that is the place that I have to go every day to get in another van that can approach my house. So when I was in the van, the first, I fell asleep and I met the big traffic jam, at that time was 9.30 P.M. I was so tried and all the way back to The Mall, I slept. When I arrived to The Mall Ngam-Wong-Wan, I walked as a zombie because I was just woken up by the van driver. So when I arrived home at the late night, every one in my family slept.I then found why I lost my money, the reason is I already spent it for my things, huhh too bad.

Broken dream, a new Life
Have u ever asked your own what is the true love? I have asked for it for long time, but I can’t give the meaning of this word or this feeling. I have tried so many times to find what the love is? Anyway, I just lost my love recently.
The story that I’m going to explain, it was happened on the last Wednesday and this hurt feeling is still affecting to me. During this time, I’m so tried and sick of every things. I always think what I should do, what can I do, or how can I bring my love back to my life. But the answer will always be the word “Never.”
I had a boyfriend called “Aek.” We were together for a good moment. We had ever gone to many places to travel. Aek was the one I care too much and he also was special person that affected to me. Sometimes, I think that he would be the last of my life, but it couldn’t. Our relationships were great before we broke them. After we broke our relationships, at the first moment, I couldn’t bear anything. I was just only listless. I couldn’t eat foods. I couldn’t do well in class as I ever did. I and Aek had ever dreamed of many beautiful things that we would make together. But now, there is no dream anymore. I couldn’t hold him to stay with me. I and Aek didn’t have too much time to spend together because we were so far from each others. I live in Nonthaburi, but Aek live in Nakornsawan. That might be a reason that separated me from him. Even tough, we can’t be as ever we were, but I will look after him when he wants some help or he has a problem.
Nowadays, I think that I can find the way to cure my heart of this weakness. Because I didn’t have only him, but I still have my parents that they will stand by my side. They always help me when I have no one that could help me. As like as this day, my mother walked up stairs and then she saw me cried. I rally didn’t want to let her know how sad of me. Because I will make worried, but when she saw me, she came to sit besides me and asked me what make me cry? And I told her every thing. She embraced me and then she gave me a sentence that could make me better. Then I know how much she loves me.
And the thing that I can cure my weak heart is to love myself as much as I can do. And I promise I will not do the wrong thing that I have done so I will change myself. I will try hard to study to make my parents to proud of me. And that is the most things that want to do now.
From this happening, I can tell that nobody can love you as much as your parents do. So that I mean “don’t hurt them anymore.”
