As the clock finished the tenth hour (i.e. nine fifties, post ten) the silvery silence overhead enveloped and entrenched the Bangkok skies the morning after the Red’s Blood Ritual was now seemingly foreshadowing storm in the horizon. Having endured a late morning, mid week traffic jam on Rama IV road demanding better part of an hour, I was anxious to fulfill my task to attend Publicity and Publication class.

The thunder was roaring overhead as I arrived to the University bus stop near Kluay Naam Thai intersection. Skipping hurriedly into the University Soi, past food stalls, premature pellets of rain smashed towards my cheeks.
The problem with these split lecture – lab one hour class sessions is there’s not much tardy leeway an instructor can give you. It was comfortably past 10.20 by the time I summated the fourth flight of stairs of building three. Few students lounged outside the two classrooms.

Courtesy of the developments of the Ministry of Education and University Affairs is Thailand prime channel for distant and cyber learning.

If pure knowledge is what you seek, gain unlimited access to free knowledge and information at Thailand Cyber University, with thousands of pages of course and subject  material on everything from Information Technology, Engineering, and Practical Sciences to Language, Culture, and the Arts.

The systemless system promotes the idea of learning at one’s own pace, though without the essence of pressure, there appears a lack of incentive to progress and revise.  The ubiquitous access format is indeed, raw in stage and continuing progress and development.

In desperation of their cause, the Reds have marched to government house carrying big bottles of their donated blood, as to spill their blood at Government House. The concept is based on the effect being the Government in power would have to walk over the people’s blood since refusing to dissolve the government and hold elections as the Thaksin Shinnawatra loyal Reds demand.

With cameras galore mid afternoon Tuesday, the Reds claimed to have already 30 liters for the ritual–certainly capable of getting more from the estimated 100,000 + protesters, but really, we got read between the lines.

Not exactly the blood shed everyone was initially afraid of, this strange yet symbolic ritual has been initiated by one particular Bhramin Shamin, or witchdoctor for lack of a better word to ’spiritually legitimize the Big Bad Bloods’ cause and demands.
