Coffee sachet

Coffee sachet, birthday gift from my student.

My Thai students happened to know that it was my birthday during last week class. The first reaction was, asking why I did not tell. Then, they tried hard to get something for me. They went to their food "chest" and dug up a pack of crackers and a sachet of coffee (according to the girl, its her mum's). They sang my happy birthday too. Had a really great birthday .... Truly blessed.

Birthday wishes

Bed of roses

So many buzzes

Full of surprises. 

Men-o-pause 

to Me-no-pause

One big applause

Waken from diapause 

Keep calm

Wading through the crowd

Watching people praying loud

Burning joss sticks, candles and vows

Wishing we will make them proud

Every year looks the same,

Doing perhaps for the name,  

Rising smoke and burning flame,

Passing time does not ease the pain.
