In love with Laila

I'm simply in love with 'laila' and hope my missus dont get me wrong on this..Seeing His Majesty with his sons going down the paddy field barefooted and sweating it out planting the newly named 'laila', our very own rice hybrid actually brought tears to my eyes. I was simply overcome with joy and pride that we have our very own monarch coming out in the morning heat planting the paddy seedlings. It was the most evident symbolic gesture of our king in telling his subjects that we must be self sufficient in the rice production. I believe this is doable. We were once a self-sufficient rice producing country until oil was found. All of us were basically born and fed with 'beras siam' ever since. I can't wait to get my hand on 'laila' as I'm sure being local (with a filipino mix) will feel and taste better than the foreign siamese ;-)
