I can hear you...

Play along here.


The Sugarcane House is made of bamboo, has nothing in it that resembles a sugarcane, and stands nowhere a single sugarcane plant. It is anchored on the banks of the River Kwai. You can spend your nights there feeling like you are lulled to dreamland in a hammock. Most of the guests are tourists exploring Kanchanaburi. This is the sign on doors:

At first I thought the management was just being cute. Then the couple in the next room discussed their tour of the day. I heard them like they were right next to me, and deeper into the night they were beginning to sound annoying. I then understood what Whisper Only meant.

I like that sign very much. BTW, did you find out why it's called Sugarcane House?

It must be like naming streets after trees that used to grow there before they were cut down to give way to the construction of roads :)

Ah...that's it maybe - sugarcane must have grown near the area before all those guesthouses sprouted off. I fancied asking the guys at the restaurant but the language barrier held me back.

hi Ate Eb, you got it. Wall's darn thin. I remember giggling at the sign too. But when it was time to sleep and I could still hear the voices from the other rooms, it was no longer amusing. The sign remains cute though :-)

LOL! it reminds me of an open roofed room and a couple guest just enjoyed the night away that no matter how they whispered everyone can still hear them. :)

I think it's fun to stay in this room, zel! :)

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end...

Happy Birthday, Your Majesty

More at Living to Tell the Story 1. Mother’s Day . Thailand celebrates Mother’s Day on the same day as the Queen’s birthday, August 12th. My girl friend and I celebrated in a posh mall, giggled over girl talk, and ate like there was never any bulging tummy to worry about. 2. " Good things come in threes ." That's what my friend (the one in no.1) says she read or heard somewhere. She just had a family reunion, unexpectedly met someone nice and got hired to do a job where she can practise her writing hobby and at the same time work in a place that suits her medical degree. Her news about what’s happening is a ray of sunshine to my not very bright days. I am happy for her. 3. Attending Cj’s school dance . It was a presentation by kids to honor mothers, and my first time to witness my son on stage. I was thrilled. He was very shy; I didn't even get a decent capture, but I don't care. The fact that he finished dancing is enough for me and I'm proud of ...
