2nd Housewarming Party

Since my condo can accommodate a maximum of ten people at a time, it is necessary to separate friends into groups and invite them one after another. In the second Housewarming Party, guests included Khun Sivaporn and P' Rochana, Khun Pichai and Busaba, Khun Sathit and P' Rachada, Suthas, Thanom (second choice), Nong and Aor. I would like to thank all of them to have attended the party despite terrible traffic jams due to heavy afternoon rain and flood all over Bangkok. Khun Sathit, for example, was so thoroughly wet that he asked for Dear's shirt. Khun Pichai and Suthas had to walk 1.5 kilometres from Rama 4 Road, down Soi Kluey Nam Thai and through Soi 61 to the condo. And P' Rochana had to eat a couple of cherries she bought for me while she spent two hours going to my condo. Thanks everyone!


Aor and Nong helped me prepare Creme Brulee for dessert.

1st Housewarming Party

My first housewarming party was held at my new condo. It has been three months since we moved here.

Guests included Khun Sivaporn and P' Rochana, P' Ad Pusadee, P' Vor, Ood, Puck, Kannika, and Chua Leenawat.


Pumpkin soup was the first dish served, followed by salad, pizza, and spaghetti vongole. The desserts were ice cream from Puck's famous ice cream shop and Pear and Prune in Red Wine Sauce prepared by Ood.

Boat Dinner

A gracious private Italian dinner was organised on the Sabai Cruise boat to celebrate birthdays for Dr. Sumet and Khun Bundit. The boat departed from Supakarn Condominium and sailed along the Chao Phraya River. The food was prepared by Mr Oreste of La Buca restaurant.


Wat Arun of the Temple of Dawn was very beautiful at night.


The SOCCEF members offered a birthday present to Dr. Sumet.

Passion of Thai Modern Art at Siam Paragon

I attend the Passion of Thai Modern Art Exhibition at Siam Paragon. Over 300 art paintings and sculptures were displayed, most of which were from KBANK's contemporary art collection and Mr. Sermkhun Kunawong's private collection.

Wang Nam Kheo

Tua took me to Wang Nam Kheo for the second time. We went there a month ago to see the country and were interested in a large plot of land not far from the district office. In this picture Tua was standing in front of the stone check dam at the end of the land.


The land was full of beautiful wild flowers.

Bacco

I host my family to a dinner at Bacco Restaurant on the occasion of Dear's Birthday and my new home.




Creme Brule'

At 9.04 p.m., Dear and I posted with a clock, a Birthday present from Uncle Ou's family.

Moving

Today I move from the house in Soi Sukhumvit 65, where I have lived for over 20 years, to the condominium in Soi Sukhumvit 61. Although I am pleased that everything is going to be settled, I am rather saddened to leave the house where I used to live for a very long time.


Take the last look at the house.

The living room where we always hang around sitting, lying, talking, watching TV, etc.


The dining room where we eat.
