5555! I'm still ok and know well that today is Tuesday ka. I was thinking of sharing what happened to me Sunday but yesterday, life was sort of hectic ka.
It happened when I decided to visit the Fulbright Thailand booth at Siam Paragon ka.
That day was beautiful because:
1. Prompt and inexpensive Muvmi (smart electric tuk tuk) picked me up from in front of my little soi to the BTS. It cost me 12 baht and since there was none sharing this 6-seat car with me, I occupied the whole car all by myself ka.
2. Got a seat on the BTS given by a young guy ka. It wasn't so much about the seat (thinking about my age that was that obvious for others to give me a seat kraa:))!5555!) I couldn't be happier because it was a young person who made me feel hopeful that our kids have namjai (caring heart) ka. Thank goodness he only gestured without calling me a 'ป้า/ยาย'.
3. Getting together with my successor and former team plus alumni was so delightful. Several alumni came to help answer and I too jumped in when there was a crowd.
4. Wonderful little things made my heart warmer and warmer ka. One alum said she decided to apply for a Fulbright grant after listening to my talk (a little while before I retired ka). A current grantee said he knows me from YouTube vdo clips and my podcast as he watched and listened to many sources to learn more about Fulbright. One senior alum went with his kid to see me there, knowing I'd stop by early afternoon.
5. A strong desire to become a Fulbright grantee brought me more energy to advise young visitors at the booth. Several I talked with had some key questions about how best to prepare themselves so I shared my views on essay writing ka.
I came back home feeling a bit tired because I had my mask on almost all the time there. Still I had an urge to post my feelings about the afternoon on Facebook.
Happy me kaaa!
Enjoy your Tuesday na ka.
