04-04-05: Road to Detroit




I woke up at 7 am for a hurry shower and quick breakfast.

P’Kerk picked me up around 8:20 am for a trip to Detroit. We packed in P’Kerk’s small car…with P’Kerk and Turk in the front…I, Prang and Mod in the back…

Around 10, we got to Detroit…it was the city that past its shining moment…if you know what I meant…the evidence of civilization and sophistication are everywhere…

Somehow it made me a bit sad to see those old and not-so-well-preserved buildings…seems to me (and lots of people) that this city is dying…

It was the time when I saw the Canadian border that I realized how close I am…to home…if home is the place you can find peace…then I definitely have more than one home now :)

We took a lot of photograph (by Mod and Terk) at US border…I stuck mostly with Prang…as Terk and Mod busy took pics of each other…:P

Then we had lunch at Greek restaurant…and visited Thai restaurant, then P’Pu, Prang’s big sister, and Jasmine, P’Pu’s dog at her house…

we got to E. Lansing around 7 pm

to clear spaces for dinner, we went out for a walk.

...

after watching shows, basketball, and lots of talk, Terk dropped me off at the apartment around 12:30 am



Detroit, April 4th, 2005

sometimes during the trip to Detroit today I heard this song…

Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart are memories ff perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant
It feels so good to reunite

Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

and couldn’t help thinking back to the time when P’Ae drove Off and me to Kanchanaburi…wondering, how amazing it would be if I had this trip with them…

...

...

When you are with me, I'm free, I'm careless, I believe above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes…My sacrifice

well,…something’s gotta give, right ?
