Loy Kratong Festival on 5th Nov 2006

Today was Sunday. It was just an ordinary day for me. I firstly got up in the morning at 8 a.m., search for my friend’s birthday in the calendar. Then, I found out that this day wasn’t just an ordinary day as I thought but, it was Loy Krathong Festival and was also my friend’s birthday.
I finally realized that it was a bad, bad day for me, too. Today my family came up with the sad news about my granny’s death. She passed away peacefully at the hospital. I was really shocked about the news. I knew that I would be very selfish if I didn’t feel anything about my granny death but, for sure, I had already accepted my friend invitation for the party in the evening. It would be very selfish if I went to my friend’s birthday party but I made the decision to go there. But before the time of party, I went to The Mall Bang Kapi with my sister [Not really she was my sister you could say she was my relative] by van. The van that took us to the place was drove so fast that we had to tell the driver to slow down [I do need to keep on living…]
After the fast and the furious version Bangkok Drift ended, I got out from the van and headed to the shopping mall. We, my sister and I, did a lot of shopping and finally made up my mind to go to spend the night at Rama the Eighth bridge for the festival. There, in Rama the Eighth Street, was full of people walking down the street. Many activities were prepared for everyone such as singing contest, dancing, magical show and others. But, what I really interested was Loy Krathong. I rushed my sister to walk down the street and looked for some Krathong to buy. Almost people went here and bought Krathong at their destination like us. We had chose the one that made from bread because it wouldn’t polluted the river when we flow them and it would be great if they would became the food for the fish. Before I let go the Krathong at the river, I made a lot of wishes. The Krathong of mine flow in the water just for a moment and it became drown [Because it’s made of bread so when it drops or flows in the water, it submerge the water and become drown] I turned back to look at it for last moment and got out of there. We took the taxi back hoe and prepared ourselves for the party, my friend’s birthday party. We caught the taxi to Ratchada Soi 8 to see my friend. Just only 15 minutes, I made up my mind to leave because I didn’t want to drink or join the party anymore. It was very boring and annoying. I called my sis and get out of there as fast as we could. In the taxi, I called my friend to check for my class schedule. I thought about what had I done today and wrote it down before went to bed. “Good Night” I said softly to myself and went to sleep.
