Kun Chiu-wen, it is me again but I could not resist your request for something
that I also like. Here are what you have asked for. As usual, anyone who 
find some mistakes, please write in. Thanks.

(Rough translation:
It is sad to be away from home, away from where I used to stay, that makes me
even more sad. Since it is far, I can't help feeling sad. How are you doing,
dear?

I am lost, missing where I used to live, away from the loved one upon whom I 
could depend. You would have had a new friend and then leave me alone, broken
hearted.

In love, though ones are physically far apart, it is like their roof touch 
each other. In hatre, though are only a tenth of an inch apart, it is like
there is a jungle dividing them. 

Because I am away from home, Oh my dear, it is so silent. I just hope you
don't forget all good time we had. I would only send this wisper to you. 
Please don't forget the far-away-from-home like me.)

(Again, the rough translation:

Our home country provides us with happiness,
No where else can be compared with, 
The term "Thai" is deep in our heart, meaning "never been enslaved,"
It is because of His Majesty's merit that protects us and provides us with
shade of happiness.

It is the merit that brings me home, 
I will kneel down to kiss the ground, care not what anybody would think,
My heart has been left here in someone's love, who has kept it? Do you
still keep it?

My dear cloud, I am lonely,
Would you do me a favor?
Fly to her house, then stop there, wait for her reply of what I am
asking you to tell her. 
Tell her I am back home and will never leave it.)

That's all for today. Write in any comments, corrections, or whatever.
