Enjoying the Coup

It’s like a history book comes to life!

OK let me recollect what I have heard during my waking moment between sleeping and actually getting my foot out of the blanket.

Mom came in the room like 6AM to wake me up to call the Uni about the classes. Man ABAC is so far behind. No notice on the website nor special announcement at the call center. You call them and you either get disconnected or no reply at all. So I guess there’s no one there to do the job which means no class today. WHICH means no seminar class for me which could only mean one thing….. OI!

Right now Thai TVs are back with mostly weird cooking shows, commercials, and of course the coverage by yellow wearing news anchors. Other Thai channels are too idiotic for me to stay tuned so I’m sticking with ITV the least of them all.

These are the main points I could grasp:

  • Coup is peaceful, no violence
  • It’s only temporary. They have no intention of taking over. They just needed to kick his ass out so the country can be revived from scratch.
  • It was done because it was believed that the PM himself was going to stage one of his own when he comes back from UN and he would have the absolute power over everything – so the military seizes the opportunity and does it first when he’s away.
  • Thaksin has cancelled the UN speech.
  • News stations are saying that people are actually enjoying this. People were interviewed and they all said they support it. On the streets where tanks and armed men walk down, people are cheering and clapping their hands.

And that’s what I got so far. I’m still half awake.

A bit off topic here: I’m now linked with Wikipedia, how cool! Whoever made those two posts thanks so much!

Also guys thank you all for the comments! I know mine is a little bit less serious. I tried being serious and formal I did, but I just couldn’t stand it. Most of it because I don’t understand jack about politics!

More key updates I will be posting them at the old one, because it’s where people link to.
