My fun activities for the weekend.

I was given a task to do something fun for myself and need to report back to my boss on Monday. I don't know if these thing I'm is fun but I think I had a wonderful weekend.

Friday, 24 August: Classical concert

My brother who is a priest asked me to drive a church car to bring him and other American priest to a concert hall that way outside of town. It was a classical music concert. I was influenced by this brother to this type of music when we here staying together. I listen to many kind of music and classical is one in that list.

I sneak out off my officer earlier before the peak hour and went on the public bus to meet up my brother and the American priest at the Church downtown. It was good that I took detour to avoid traffic and the priests found it very enjoy sightseeing. We arrived at the concert hall one and a half hour before the concert start and also earlier than they ever been to which they used to come by taxi. So we had time for a snack and talking. The American priest was asking how old am I and then he said that he is almost about three times older than mine – he is 91 years old. He arrived in Thailand as a missionary before I’m born. It’s amazing that how he still bright – walking around and come to concert. He says that he is very blessing that God keeps him healthy.

I was buying a pack of tickets that cheap price and we can come back for more times. The American insists to treat me and my brother that concert and we lost him.

The classical concert was very nice. There were big set of complete instruments and two special guests for the guitar solo – they are twin. I music was fantastic and relaxing – well, I felt asleep only once during the concert.. not too bad right?

Saturday, 25 August: Don Bosco School - Printing Reunion Night

It was the third re-union party for Don Bosco Printing at a medium class hotel. There were about 20 years classes with 200 hundred of graduated students came back to get together – raising funds for present students since the school if for poor and orphan students – like me. It was good to meet up with friends that have seen for a long long while some of them I have seen since we were graduated – only 18 years ago. Some of my friends still stick on printing business – some became owner of their own business – some still working for company. They were happy to hear that I work for charity organization. All of friend very impressed by quality of work that I am doing. Well, I told them that I am happy with my work and that is count. What I was enjoy about that night? They told me that I look much better rather than skinny young boy they know at the school.

Sunday, 26 August: My dad and a digital camera

It is a long story why I start to talk to my dad again after how long I could not remember that we hadn’t talk to each other. I will keep it for family matter. What I want to share is my dad called me on Saturday told that he wanted to get a low budget digital camera. He was saying that he interested to have one digital camera but he has no idea how it works. He asks me to be his adviser. So I accompany him to a shopping mall not far from home. We spent two hours walking around and have a look at low budget cameras and finally he like the brand that I am using – Sony. He would like to pay in cash and I offer that I can pay it by my credit card which I can get redeem point back. In my mind quietly thought this might be good gift to my dad since I had never bought anything for him since I left home. So when he about to pay me and I say that this is a gift for him, he hesitate and this was too much. He accepts it as I insist to buy it for him which made him very happy.

I show him how to use it. My dad says that it will take him a while to able to use it. He asks me to come to teach him later weekend. I took a bus two hours back to my place and half an hour after I arrived back my dad call and check if I’m arrive home safely. He told me that he worries and happy to hear that I’m safe. He said that he loves me like the way he loves me when I was a young kid, and I said that I love him, too. You know why this is so special.. because I have never heard he says that since I remember..
