By the seat of my pants
Thursday mid-day I received a phone call. The school is having "an event," can you attend ?
From past experience these events are social events with parades and / or student entertainment.
I usually take a thermos of coffee discretely spiked with Thai rum.
It relaxes me and numbs all my body aches.
I'm there as a "special guest," no longer in any teaching capacity.
These phone call invitations are usually followed up with the delivery of a Thai written invitation.
I don't read Thai.
This invitation was delivered to me at 8:30 p.m.
I had already been dozing for an hour in front of the TV.
I did not bother to open the letter. I should have.
At six in the morning I did open the letter and was flabbergasted to have both a Thai and English version of the letter.
The English version was obviously translated with GOOGLE Translate.
"... opening new born education With information and technology department.... " probably means they are starting a new education curriculum.
Reading further into the letter, it sounds like they expect a speech or lecture from me.
Three hours to prepare.... where's the rum bottle
This lecture is going to be by the seat of my pants phrases.org.uk

The Chinese Year of the Tiger begins this weekend. It's a three day celebration February 14 through 16.
Even though red is generally the color in conjunction with the celebrations, many Thais will wear pink in order to avoid any political implications
