Night Market

Last two weeks I recommended the restaurants for dining out. Today I would like to recommend a night market I like to go shopping. I don’t know the exact name of this night market. I heard that it was called “Sanam luang market.” Last year this night market was located around Sanam Luang. After renovating Sanam Luang, it was moved to Klong Lord area. So, its name may be changed to “Klong Lord market.” You can go there about 7 pm until 3 am. There are many kinds of goods and services such as second handed books, shoes, old Thai traditional containers and tools, massage, small restaurants, and mobile phones. I like to buy books here because they’re quite cheap. Also, there are old books written in old Thai language about 20 to 30 years passed. Besides, a steak restaurant called “Krua Tua Nam” is my favorite that the food is cheap and delicious. All ingredients have good quality. I always go to eat here when I want to eat steak, lasagna, and salad. I can say that I already forgot the Pizza Company or Santafe. Perhaps this market is one place you can go shopping and eat out at night.

Enjoy!


I’ve read the interview of Boy Pakorn Chatborirak in Daily News. He loves to see movie so much. In the past, he saw movie for entertainment, but now the movie can be case study for improvement of his acting. While watching the film, he also investigated the camera angle, acting and all detail of production.

It happens to me too. After studying translation, I always analyze the wording and sentences in the books or fictions in Thai and English while reading them. While seeing movie, I investigate title and subtitle why translator use this Thai words. Moreover, while listening English song, I will find the lyric to translate in Thai. Even Thai song, I study the lyric why the writer use this word.

It’s funny that I think I am mad, but now I have a good point of view from Boy Pakorn's interview. He loves films and also works as actor. So he can enjoy watching film so much and also gain good advices or ideas from film.

I love reading books and also study translation in master degree. Even though I may not be translator, I can enjoy reading books and also get lot of new powerful words from books, songs and movies.

Enjoy!

It takes a LEGEND--To make a STAR

Sometimes, I didn’t know what to do and felt so bored in everything surrounding me. I have to go to bookstore or theater. Last Saturday, my feeling was down deeply and then I ran to see “Burlesque”, musical movie starring Cher and Christina Aguilera. Firstly, when I saw its trailer in internet, I guessed that the plot is not extraordinary. It is about a girl run to her dream and made it come true because she never gave up even if she faced many problems. While buying ticket, I asked myself why I paid so much for it. Ok, I wanted to buy time not ticket. Time is cheap.

While Cher was singing one song in scene, I was very impressed by Cher’ powerful voice and the meaning of song.

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there’s just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I’ll get up again
Don’t count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast.

Before seeing this movie, I didn’t have any idea of this song. I haven’t known that “You haven’t seen the last of me” was written by Diane Eve Warren and won the 68th Golden Globe Award for Best Original.

Burlesque takes a legend...to make a star.

Diane Warren and Cher show audiences all how they are great.

Be Careful!


“Working hard continuously thorough a week may affect your brain”
The scientists in Scandinavia region had analyzed the behavior of some middle-age British government officers who work more than 55 hours in a week without any days off and the result was found that it can cause a regression of brain function and sluggish analytical thinking. People who often work hard will encounter short memory problem and difficulty of word recognition, besides; they always get lower scores in rational evaluation test than others.
From this article, you can check by yourself that you work as same as above those words. It is very important thing and does not ignore. Because of the brain is the most important of body. Some occupations have to work this such as technician, engineer. If the brain works harder, it will effect for your control more slowly and forgetful, too. Then you should have a relaxing time for good health and have a long-age. You can set in schedule for exercising within a week and treat continuously. For example, you should play some sports; walking or running about 20 minutes. Finally, I hope that you still understand more the reason.
