==================================================== "Many of you may know the Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh....
This famous painting was actually how the artist saw the sky... The same sky as you, me and everyone see everyday during the night.... But he saw it differently....
A hundred years later, many people value it because of that difference... as a different beauty from ordinary....
Just a food for thoughts from me, your virtual friend. " ====================================================
NOTE: Why and how van Gogh drew and invented the starry night? It's a bizarre way to see an ordinary, right?
In fact, van Gogh saw it that way..... not because had he gotten delusional effects from his psychological diseases.
In his period, it was quite popular among many people to drink a potion, this specific one that van Gogh drank consists of a plant named fox glove. In this medicinal plant, it has a chemical digoxin.... If anyone takes a toxic amount of digoxin, he or she may develop illusions.
In van Gogh's case, he might have taken too much of the potion and had a vision of "the starry night" when he looked into the sky during the night.
I saw this painting in MOMA 2 years ago a long with a number of Picasso's and Miro's.
As you know my daughter is the artist one. In her opinion she thinks the best thing of this painting is the representation of differences between everyting else and the sky not how the sky looks.
================================= Note: My life has been intertwined with works and many others. New responsibility has emerged, resulting less and less time for my ordinary life. Although, a love to write is still intact... But having less time is related to having less imagination.... Therefore, I could not come up with new writings for quite some times.
It might be a good time for me to leave this forum for moment.... Please take it as Mr. A.T. is having a sabbactatical leave or something like that....
As noted above, my love to write is still the same... and will not be changed. Sometimes somehow, I hope I could come back and give some thoughts in this blog once more.
Cheers, Mr. A.T. June 6th, 2008

Hello,
My pen-name in Pantip is amatuer translator. Actually, I'm a lousy translator with lame translation. My pen-name is somewhat misleading, I have no background in linguistics what-so-ever. Anyway I love to read, write and communicate with people...
Reading is my most favorite hobby. I read everything from shopping bags to articles in theoretical physics. I do research and teaching for my living. So, reading, writing, thinking and doing research works are my everyday routine.
I would like to define myself as a person who is accepting new ideas and adopting those into my way of life.
I believe in power of knowledge/education. I think every society can be a better society with knowledge. Ignorance can be dispelled by it. Humanity can live sustainably and harmoniously with each other along with its biosphere with understandings in the nature surrounding it.
Apart from my philosophical thoughts reflecting who I am, I can tell you something I like or love in particular;
I love dogs.... Particularly, labradore retrievers.... One day, I would like to spend my time and life with them as a big part of my family.
Zhuge Liang is my hero. With his wisdom and faithfulness, he led a tiny army to a mighty and formidable kingdom. He left his humble residence with a hope to come back. But, sadly, he had never returned and died far far away from home in a horse carriage in a battle field. If I could choose where I would, I would say where-ever my lovely wife was nearby.
I value happiness and my family as my first priority. My profession and my philosophy come in the second. Pursuit in wealth has never been in my desire.
I'm glad to be your friend, and look forward to seeing you around krub.
