Hi there.

Happy late Valentine's Day. 😊 I didn't realize that I had been away from writing here for more than a month, and now I have been in the year 2022 already!

Blame my getting old. ^^

There are several issues I love to talk about, yet my brain today seems too cloudy. Thus, I had better not make you my readers get headache because of my confusion.

Since the beginning of this new year, there have been several stories of bad news and good news in various areas. One of them is that Covid-19 infection continues to be with us and no one can tell when it will end, according to many news sources worldwide. Still, good news is there are fewer severe cases and a larger number of people in Thailand have got vaccination. Recently, small kids were the latest targets for vaccination following their parents' approvals and permissions.

Until today, the majority of Thai people have received at least two shots of covid-19 vaccines, and not a few already had four shots. The latter are those who are risky to a chance of getting infected easily such as medical or health-care professions. Besides, most people, although worried about the disease, adjust themselves and return to new-normal living style. Like them, I always have a bottle of alcohol spray, and a mask when going out. I avoid crowds as possible. I won't go out if not necessary. Once I arrive at home, I hurry to take a bath and wash my hair first.

That is not a kind of life style I ever dreamed for, but I have to accept it for safety reason. I know it's not just me who have to embrace this "new normal". Alcohol and mask become necessity for us. I have no idea when we will be able to go out without a mask and alcohol spray. I just hope for the days I can go out with light head and lead my normal life as I once did will come again soon.

Be in good health everyone.

A stroll on one fine afternoon before Christmas Day

Monday 27 December 2021

Bangkok, Thailand

Hi there,

Just a few days before Christmas holiday I spent a few hours strolling around small streets in Bangkok's old China town and nearby areas. I wished I could have had more time to carry on walking and exploring those areas further. But since I had another appointment with my best friend later, I told myself that I would return to carry on my mission soon. Here are some shots that day:

I did enjoy vanilla and chocolate ice cream toppled with roasted chestnut very much. Steamed wontons stuffed with prawn were also tasty, and they filled up my stomach so much that I could not take anything else. Next time I will certainly not miss one of my favourite menus, noodle soup with duck.

Happy Holiday, dear all

Gigi 😊😸

In remembrance of my dear babies Meaw Daang and Meaw Noi

Sunday 21 November 2021

Bangkok, Thailand

I should earlier have written about the loss of my two eldest babies Meaw Daang and Meaw Noi since they passed away in late -July and mid-September respectively. Yet, it was too hard for me to bring it up on the page despite that I could handle the loss this time much better than when I lost the eldest one almost a decade earlier. Besides my broken heart, I was badly ill myself during that time too. I had no energy left to do anything but crying my heart out.

Although my two old cats had been suffered from kidney disease for years, they had enjoyed their lives most of the time. Until the last few months of their lives, their condition went down hill quickly following their acute infection: one was digestive tract infected, the other respiratory tract infected. I took them to pet hospital for their treatment. But no matter how best treatments and medication they got, none could save their lives. I prayed for them to rest in peace and maybe running happily in heaven above. And later I will join them when my time comes.
