Ahram Boy - 16/07 Fri

The alms offering for today is more fulfilling than the past few days as I got to play the role of collecting overflowing food from the alms. I realize I do work hard for my meal. It’s nice not to know what’s on the table, no, I shall use floor, Thai Isan people eat on the floor most of the time for breakfast and every other meals. Every day, the thoughtful and sweet gestures of Luang Por Sirirattanaporn will hand me some of his food especially vegetarian for my breakfast.

Some novice monks also kindheartedly offer to share their food with me. I begin to appreciate the food even more than before as I know not to take food for granted in my mouth. Sometimes, I do take meat when monk whom didn’t know shares their food with me. I refuse to reject any kind offers :)

I’ve to teach 2 classes once again. It’s not demanding but the break in between is somehow torturing. I dislike having nothing to do in between. Thank goodness, the trade fair in the university provides me a source of entertainment. I even take a nap at Khun Paul house.
