She Is From Mars, I Am From Hell เธอมาจากดาวอังคารส่วนฉันมาจากนรก

É​pisode​ ​quarante-et-sept:​ ​deux​ ​femmes​ ​d​'​é​t​é 

The​ ​summer​ ​courses​ ​were​ ​fine​ ​in​ ​a​ ​class,​ ​tortured​ ​and​ ​stressed​ ​in​ ​the​ ​other.​ ​So,​ ​this​ ​episode​ ​should​ ​be​ ​dedicated​ ​to​ two​ ​women​ ​of​ ​summer.​ ​Both​ ​of​ ​them​ ​are​ ​friends​ ​of​ ​Aryan​ ​and​ ​Kin​ ​who​ ​I​ ​spent​ ​time​ ​with.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​my​ ​juniors.​ ​I​ ​knew​ ​them​ ​some​ ​time​ ​before​ ​I​ ​headed​ ​to​ ​Nordics.​ ​I​ ​met​ ​A​ ​first.​ ​She​ ​and​ ​Kin​ ​listened​ ​to​ ​me​ ​about​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​courses,​ ​which​ ​include​ ​mismanagement,​ ​in​ ​early​ ​May.​ ​I​ ​met​ ​B​ ​when​ ​I​ ​talked​ ​to​ ​A​ ​when​ ​we​ ​met​ ​at​ ​the​ ​library​ ​later.​ ​She​ ​asked​ ​me​ ​a​ ​few​ ​questions.​ ​Well,​ ​I​ ​didn​’​t​ ​know​ ​then​ ​that​ ​I​ ​answered​ ​interestingly​ ​also.​ ​Let​’​s​ ​name​ ​them​ ​A​ ​and​ ​B.​ ​A​ ​is​ ​nice,​ ​however,​ ​she​ ​is​ ​in​ ​the​ ​shooting​ ​club.​ ​B​ ​is​ ​indeed​ ​so​ ​colourfully​ ​interesting.​ ​A​ ​didn​’​t​ ​do​ ​make​ ​up​ ​much.​ ​B​ ​could​ ​spend​ ​hours​ ​doing​ ​it.​A​ ​is​ ​sweetly​ ​cute.​ ​B​ ​is​ ​sparkly​ ​cute.​ ​A​ ​is​ ​normally​ ​tall.​ ​B​ ​is​ ​a​ ​little​ ​shortie.​ ​A​ ​is​ ​less​ ​funny.​ ​B​ ​is​ ​more​ ​funny.​ ​A​ ​is​ ​better​ ​at​ ​slow​ ​conversation.​ ​B​ ​is​ ​much​ ​better​ ​with​ ​rapid​ ​fire​ ​one​ ​on​ ​one​ ​chat.​ ​With​ ​these​ ​differences,​ ​they​ ​are​ ​friends.​ ​They​ ​all​ ​have​ ​a​ ​boyfriend.​ ​That​ ​summer​ ​anyway​ ​wasn​’​t​ ​the​ ​easiest​ ​for​ ​A​ ​though.​ ​She​ ​registered​ ​for​ ​an​ ​Economic​ ​Development​ ​class​ ​in​ ​which​ ​she​ ​had​ ​to​ ​work​ ​on​ ​presentations.​ ​She​ ​had​ ​sleepless​ ​nights.​ ​B​ ​registered​ ​the​ ​Economics​ ​of​ ​War​ ​and​ ​Peace​ ​so​ ​she​ ​was​ ​still​ ​living​ ​a​ ​normal​ ​life​ ​in​ ​the​ ​summer.​ ​What​ ​makes​ ​these​ ​two​ ​different​ ​from​ ​any​ ​friends​ ​is​ ​not​ ​just​ ​that​ ​I​ ​and​ ​A​ ​are​ ​Chonburians​ ​and​ ​B​ ​lived​ ​in​ ​Chonburi​ ​for​ ​some​ ​years,​ ​we​ ​just​ ​talk​ ​for​ ​the​ ​sake​ ​of​ ​chatting.​ ​I​ ​didn​’​t​ ​feel​ ​that​ ​much​ ​in​ ​the​ ​EBA,​ ​well​ ​apart​ ​from​ ​a​ ​few​ ​friends​ ​I​ ​spent​ ​time​ ​with.​ ​They​ ​overtake​ ​so​ ​many.​ ​People​ ​said​ ​that​ ​politics​ ​shouldn​’​t​ ​be​ ​talked​ ​about.​ ​I​ ​still​ ​feel​ ​people​ ​in​ ​this​ ​generation​ ​are​ ​quite​ ​more​ ​united​ ​than​ ​the​ ​olds.​ ​That​ ​summer​ ​though​ ​we​ ​met​ ​at​ ​lunch​ ​or​ ​at​ ​the​ ​library.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​fine​ ​summer​ ​thinking​ ​about​ ​it. 

 

É​pisode​ ​quarante-et-huit:​ ​7​ ​juillet 

It​ ​took​ ​me​ ​days​ ​until​ ​I​ ​decided​ ​to​ ​buy​ ​a​ ​ticket​ ​to​ ​the​ ​talk​ ​show​ ​by​ ​the​ ​legendary​ ​John​ ​Cleese,​ ​the​ ​great​ ​comedian.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​3,500​ ​Baht,​ ​but​ ​think​ ​about​ ​it.​ ​He​’​s​ ​too​ ​old​ ​to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​Bangkok​ ​for​ ​the​ ​next​ ​time.​ ​I​ ​missed​ ​one​ ​Paul​ ​Anka​ ​concert​ ​a​ ​few​ ​months​ ​ago​ ​due​ ​to​ ​final​ ​exams.​ ​I​ ​shouldn​’​t​ ​do​ ​shit​ ​things​ ​twice.​ ​I​ ​bought​ ​it.​ ​However,​ ​this​ ​seemed​ ​to​ ​be​ ​the​ ​only​ ​time​ ​Thaiticketmajor​ ​messed​ ​it.​ ​The​ ​ticket​ ​data​ ​at​ ​the​ ​ticket​ ​office​ ​and​ ​internet​ ​was​ ​different.​ ​I​ ​almost​ ​gave​ ​up​ ​buying​ ​it,​ ​and​ ​left​ ​the​ ​office.​ ​With​ ​some​ ​pity,​ ​I​ ​re-checked​ ​and​ ​that​ ​seat​ ​was​ ​3,500​ ​not​ ​4,500.​ ​I​ ​ran​ ​back​ ​to​ ​the​ ​office.​ ​She​ ​then​ ​apologised​ ​and​ ​sold​ ​me​ ​a​ ​ticket.​ ​So,​ ​I​ ​was​ ​ready.​ ​The​ ​show​ ​started​ ​at​ ​8​ ​pm.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​5​ ​pm​ ​then,​ ​I​ ​left​ ​the​ ​faculty​ ​by​ ​a​ ​Pop​ ​bus.​ ​I​ ​planned​ ​to​ ​leave​ ​at​ ​the​ ​dorm​ ​for​ ​dinner​ ​as​ ​I​ ​should.​ ​However,​ ​I​ ​saw​ ​people​ ​playing​ ​cricket​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Two​ ​kings​’​ ​ground.​ ​I​ ​departed.​ ​I​ ​ran.​ ​I​ ​asked​ ​them​ ​if​ ​I​ ​could​ ​join.​ ​I​ ​was​ ​sent​ ​to​ ​cover.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​fine​ ​that​ ​I​ ​could​ ​stop​ ​some​ ​shots.​ ​Well,​ ​I​ ​should.​ ​They​ ​used​ ​a​ ​tennis​ ​ball​ ​as​ ​a​ ​cricket​ ​ball,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​normal.​ ​I​ ​didn​’​t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​myself​ ​then.​ ​Then,​ ​I​ ​was​ ​asked​ ​to​ ​bat.​ ​I​ ​got​ ​caught​ ​the​ ​first​ ​ball.​ ​I​ ​was​ ​pissed.​ ​Nevermind,​ ​then​ ​I​ ​bowled.​ ​My​ ​arms​ ​weren​'​t​ ​that​ ​ready​ ​either.​ ​I​ ​got​ ​some​ ​wickets​ ​from​ ​flying​ ​balls​ ​anyway.​ ​I​ ​had​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​bat​ ​again.​ ​I​ ​stayed​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​ten​ ​balls​ ​I​ ​reckon​ ​before​ ​I​ ​finished​ ​as​ ​a​ ​keeper.​ ​What​ ​a​ ​way​ ​to​ ​exercise.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​light​ ​rain​ ​as​ ​well​ ​so​ ​it​’​s​ ​not​ ​that​ ​hot.​ ​That​ ​June​ ​had​ ​too​ ​much​ ​El​ ​Ni​ñ​o​ ​which​ ​for​ ​Thailand,​ ​there​’​s​ ​less​ ​rain.​ ​Sunshine​ ​was​ ​grim.​ ​These​ ​people​ ​are​ ​researchers​ ​from​ ​India.​ ​They​ ​just​ ​asked​ ​where​ ​I​ ​was​ ​from.​ ​I​’​m​ ​Thai​ ​anyway.​ ​Well,​ ​people​ ​were​ ​surprised​ ​but​ ​women​’​s​ ​cricket​ ​here​ ​is​ ​better​ ​these​ ​days.​ ​The​ ​session​ ​ended​ ​around​ ​6​ ​pm.​ ​I​ ​then​ ​had​ ​dinner​ ​and​ ​walked​ ​to​ ​the​ ​theatre.​ ​I​ ​remembered​ ​there​ ​were​ ​free​ ​spaces​ ​to​ ​charge​ ​my​ ​phones​ ​before.​ ​It​ ​all​ ​closed​ ​so​ ​I​ ​just​ ​sat​ ​near​ ​the​ ​theatre​ ​waiting​ ​for​ ​the​ ​time.​ ​I​ ​played​ ​the​ ​video​ ​of​ ​him​ ​accepting​ ​the​ ​award​ ​for​ ​A​ ​Fish​ ​Called​ ​Wanda​ ​again,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​hilarious.​ ​He​ ​thanked​ ​everyone.​ ​I​ ​walked​ ​to​ ​my​ ​long-leg​ ​seat​ ​I​ ​bought​ ​around​ ​20​ ​minutes​ ​before​ ​the​ ​show.​ ​The​ ​show​ ​started​ ​with​ ​a​ ​video​ ​of​ ​his​ ​performances.​ ​Monty​ ​Python​ ​and​ ​Fawlty​ ​Towers​ ​dominated.​ ​He​ ​then​ ​came​ ​to​ ​the​ ​stage.​ ​He​ ​was​ ​83.​ ​He​ ​looked​ ​old​ ​of​ ​course.​ ​People​ ​gave​ ​him​ ​a​ ​standing​ ​ovation​ ​before​ ​he​ ​discussed​ ​many​ ​topics​ ​with​ ​prepared​ ​clips​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​first​ ​hour.​ ​After​ ​the​ ​interval,​ ​he​ ​then​ ​answered​ ​questions​ ​from​ ​the​ ​audience.​ ​He​ ​was​ ​assisted​ ​by​ ​one​ ​of​ ​his​ ​own​ ​staff.​ ​In​ ​summary,​ ​it​ ​was​ ​a​ ​celebration​ ​of​ ​his​ ​life.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​not​ ​boring​ ​at​ ​all,​ ​I​ ​remembered​ ​focusing​ ​on​ ​what​ ​he​ ​said,​ ​although​ ​I​ ​couldn​’​t​ ​remember​ ​too​ ​much​ ​now.​ ​Moreover,​ ​I​ ​didn​’​t​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​revealing​ ​what​ ​he​ ​said​ ​anyway​ ​as​ ​the​ ​similar​ ​show​ ​was​ ​showing​ ​in​ ​Australia​ ​and​ ​Europe​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time​ ​of​ ​revealing.​ ​It​ ​ended​ ​with​ ​another​ ​standing​ ​ovation.​ ​The​ ​show​ ​finished​ ​around​ ​10​ ​pm.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​big​ July​ ​7 ​indeed.​ ​I​ ​attended​ ​one​ ​more​ ​event​ ​a​ ​week​ ​later​ ​which​ ​was​ ​the​ ​first​ ​ever​ ​Asian​ ​Athletics​ ​Championships​ ​in​ ​Bangkok.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​held​ ​in​ ​the​ ​recently-renovated​ ​National​ ​Stadium.​ ​This​ ​event​ ​was​ ​less​ ​prestigious​ ​than​ ​The​ ​Asian​ ​Games.​ ​Moreover,​ ​the​ ​World​ ​Championships​ ​was​ ​a​ ​month​ ​away​ ​so​ ​not​ ​many​ ​good​ ​athletes​ ​showed​ ​up.​ ​However,​ ​I​ ​believe​ ​Bangkok​ ​won​’​t​ ​see​ ​these​ ​events​ ​regularly​ ​so​ ​I​ ​went​ ​there​ ​for​ ​three​ ​straight​ ​days.​ ​The​ ​days​ ​were​ ​quite​ ​similar.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​early​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​the​ ​evening,​ ​people​ ​sat​ ​at​ ​a​ ​long​ ​jump​ ​pit​ ​sand​ ​on​ ​the​ ​east​ ​side.​ ​Long​ ​jump​ ​and​ ​Triple​ ​jump​ ​were​ ​there.​ ​At​ ​the​ ​south​ ​side,​ ​Discus,​ ​Hammer​ ​and​ ​Javelin​ ​were​ ​there​ ​and​ ​High​ ​jump.​ ​At​ ​the​ ​north​ ​side,​ ​it​’​s​ ​for​ ​high​ ​jump​ ​and​ ​pole​ ​vault.​ ​After​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​these​ ​events,​ ​people​ ​moved​ ​to​ ​watch​ ​running.​ ​The​ ​Japanese​ ​are​ ​so​ ​united​ ​I​ ​can​ ​tell​ ​you.​ ​It​’​s​ ​great​ ​to​ ​see​ ​people​ ​from​ ​every​ ​Asian​ ​region​ ​gathering.​ ​There​ ​were​ ​rains​ ​too,​ ​fortunately,​ ​there​ ​was​ ​no​ ​lightning,​ ​but​ ​these​ ​athletes​ ​didn​’​t​ ​participate​ ​in​ ​the​ ​best​ ​possible​ ​conditions​ ​for​ ​sure.​ ​However,​ ​the​ ​committee​ ​deserves​ ​praise​ ​from​ ​this​ ​organisation​ ​I​ ​tell​ ​you.​ ​Combined​ ​with​ ​the​ ​journalism​ ​market​ ​fair​ ​at​ ​MBK.​ ​I​ ​met​ ​three​ ​journalists​ ​in​ ​three​ ​days,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​P​’​Name​ ​from​ ​FM​ ​99.​ ​He​ ​is​ ​a​ ​specialist​ ​in​ ​Thai​ ​football.​ ​We​ ​had​ ​a​ ​talk​ ​about​ ​current​ ​sports​ ​issues.​ ​He​ ​is​ ​highly​ ​critical​ ​in​ ​his​ ​shows,​ ​it​’​s​ ​not​ ​that​ ​comedy​ ​side​ ​I​ ​must​ ​say.​ ​I​ ​like​ ​it​ ​anyway.​ ​I​ ​met​ ​P​’​Khan​ ​Phungkun​ ​too.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​so​ ​pleasing.​ ​Sadly,​ ​it​ ​was​ ​too​ ​short.​ ​His​ ​speaking​ ​style​ ​was​ ​relaxed.​ ​I​ ​like​ ​it.​ ​He​ ​has​ ​higher​ ​ranks​ ​now​ ​in​ ​Daily​ ​News,​ ​the​ ​newspaper.​ ​With​ ​P​’​Bee​ ​Lamsing,​ ​it​’​s​ ​great​ ​also​ ​listening​ ​to​ ​him​ ​speaking​ ​about​ ​football​ ​live.​ ​He​ ​is​ ​a​ ​great​ ​storyteller,​ ​so​ ​that​’​s​ ​why​ ​his​ ​radio​ ​shows​ ​are​ ​a​ ​must​ ​listen​ ​for​ ​me.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​good​ ​time​ ​before​ ​the​ ​final​ ​exam.
