WIMUT’S SPORT DAY

Sport Day at Wimuttayarampittayakorn School is set up every year in December before celebrating Christmas. This year, in 2010, the competition of fun games had two days, on 8th – 9th, and there were four teams; red, blue, yellow, and green. It started with the colorful parades at the beginning of the first day. Every team wore beautiful costumes and presented the concept of teams by writing on labels. Red’s idea was to conserve Thai traditional. Yellow’s idea was about ASEAN. Blue’s idea was to conserve Thai culture and green’s idea presented how to reduce the pollution. I think their ideas are fantastic and smart. Then the games started, there were many types of sports such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, Sepak takraw, soccer, running, and tennis.
Every team had the same purpose, they would like to be the winner. They would like to be a champion but they could not success without an unity. I think an unity is the most important and valuable. Two days that they played games and spent time together by helping, talking and sharing the ideas taught them to forgive the mistakes and open mind to listen other’s ideas. They have worked in group and they are friends. They are the same blood, they are not red, blue, green or yellow but they are Wimuttayarampittayakorn. I had fun with them and they also did a good job.I am proud of them!

Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups

Again and again, I would like to recommend the new book, Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups: Fairy-Tale Psychology written by Sue Gallehugh Ph.D., Allen Gallehugh M.B.A and translated by Wilawan.

Many famous fairy-tales for children are adapted for adults such as the three little pigs, snow white and the seven dwarfs, sleeping beauty, and the emperor's new clothes. The purpose of this book is to help the readers improve themselves by using the idea from each fairy-tale.

For example, Wake up and Smell the Coffee: Sleeping Beauty is about the purposes in life. Sleeping princess should learn her mistakes and failure as the valuable lessons, which will lead her to future success.

In the end of each fairy-tale, the caution will be added in the end of each fairy-tale. The writer wants the readers to remember and practice as the cautions.

It's time to go bed so I myself have to read bedtime stories. May this night I can find my purposes of life as Sleeping Princess did.

Good Night!!!!

My study time

    I am a normal section student. I am studying in Bangkok at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok for a MTEB in translation. I come to study here because I want to study in the morning, afternoon, or bureaucracy time. I don’t want to disturb the time of my family. Some weeks my relatives take my granddad stay in my home. Either my dad or my mom must go to the opening of alley to take me go home. In my opinion, if the department isn’t ready to open for teaching and studying, it shouldn’t to open. I understand there are only 2 students in my section. Why don’t you solve the problem by take us study with the students in the next term? I think your method to solve the problem isn’t correct method. It makes me feel the department is selfish. Not only me have the problem to study in the night, but my close friend has the problem too. Her dormitory is far from here, she tells me traveling in the night is very tired. One day, I meet a student who studies before me one term. She told me that the last term there is no the day which study in the daytime. If next term there is a teacher in the Faculty of Arts. My friend and I will try to ask him/her to study in the daytime. But he/she doesn’t allow, I must probably forget it.

Little girls

Once I taught English to students who aged 5 years old. They are 3 pretty little girls who could remember all the things I taught. Their names are Pat, Pim, and Namtan. They were friends from the same school and we met each other every Saturday. Fortunately, they were good students who weren’t stubborn and lazy. I tried to teach them reading easy sentence, spelling words, and writing what I told. It’s important that everyone must pronounce correctly. Of course, they could pronounce in correct way even it took longer time. They asked immediately whenever they didn’t understand. Many times I allowed them to draw picture as they liked because I didn’t want them to be too serious on lessons. I felt so happy when I saw them draw pictures with their imagination and creativity. One picture that I can remember is about family including father, mother, the one who drew, and a dog. In that picture, they went to a park; smiles on their face with colorful flowers and lots of trees. They all looked very happy. She told me that she drew it from her experience. We also played games together such as matching words with picture, doing crossword, and making hints. At present I have no chance to meet them because I don’t know where they moved to. I still miss them, my little girls.

Let's diet!

December and January are celebration months. They make your weight to increase. Then I would like to suggest about rules of diet all 9 things. The first thing is eating all meals. If you do not eat this thing, it makes you hungry more. The second thing is focusing in many fiber foods. The third thing is selecting low energy foods such as changing fried foods into boiled or steam foods, avoiding soft drinks and so on. The fourth thing is always drinking clean water as water will help to burn foods. If the body gets it not enough, the burning rate of food will reduce, too. The fifth thing is chewing foods slowly. The brain of human wants the time at least fifteen minutes in accepting tastes. If you chew foods very fast, your stomach will be full before the brain will know. So, you should chew foods at least twenty times before swallow foods . The sixth thing should have personal dishes and use small shape dishes because it looks more foods in dishes.

The seventh thing is using spices for cooking such as hot basil, pepper, chilli substitute sugar, oil, butter, coconut milk and seasoning. Furthermore, spices have not calories and it also helps for burning foods. The eighth thing is stopping in collecting foods in refrigerator especially the area will go through all day. This doing should not do since their foods will call you every time when you go through. So, out of sight, out of mind and do not suggest for buying foods when you are hungry. Because you would be get foods more always want. The ninth thing is a concentration before eating. When you eat foods , you should not have any activities. You should concentrate before eating every time. You should not eat while you are watching television, playing computer, telephoning, driving. All these things, they make you lack of attending and do not concentrate with eating. It founds that if you have not concentrating in eating time, it will make the capacity in eating and quantity of foods to increase clearly. All the rules of diet will help you to reduce your weight if you can win in your mind.

week of baking

Baking is my favorite hobby. As the Christmas time and the new year festival is coming, people would find some gifts to ones they love. Bakery is one of the most popular gift. How nice to give the fresh bakery which you made it yourself? Last week I had baked 8 ponds of cake ( 3 pieces) as it was my friend birthday and I don't want to buy any gift for him then I decided to bake a cake myself for him. The next 2 days his aunt asked me to bake a cake for her mother then I baked more one 3 ponds cake for her mother on Thursday. In the next day she said that she want more because there are so many family members. Then I baked more one 3 pond cake for her on Friday. What a cake festival! I have never baked 3 cakes in a week before in my life. So tired because I have so many things to do but It's OK. As when I saw the others try my master pieces. It's make me happy and I'm so proud even its taste is not as good as the products from some other famous bakery shops but I'm still happy to have my own product and I'm intent to do it.

The Great December

There are many festivals, celebrations, and exhibitions holding in this month, December. Each place has many kinds of shops and a beautiful view for taking photographs. Yesterday, I went to King’s birthday celebration holding at Dusit Palace Plaza (Lan Phra Ratcha Wang Dusit). Many shows were provided on the stage: Thai dance, folk music, and contemporary dance. There were a lot of booths exhibited by employees of ministries and departments about the King’s royal duties. Each booth was decorated with colorful flowers and lights. Also, vendors sold their goods on ground. Last week, I visited Korea Festival at Esplanade Cineplex, Ngamwongwan, Khaerai. I hadn’t taken many photos because it’s quite hot there (I went there in the afternoon.). There were many mock-ups of a Thai film “Kuan Meun Ho” shown there. At Central World, light festival for Christmas and New Year celebration; colorful lights and models was created for visitors to see and take photographs. A big Christmas trees located obviously on the left hand side. On 10^th – 12^th December, 2010, the International Street Show festival in Bangkok will be held at Lumpini park around 3 pm – 9 pm. I am going to visit for sure. Happy! Happy!

THE FRIENDSHIP NEVER DIES

How many friends do I have? I have lots of friends but I have a few friends that I can talk everything with. These friends are part of my life, they cheer me up when I feel down and they never lie at me when I need to know exactly how they feel. For me, the important thing to keep a strong relationship is sincerity and honesty. One of my friends that I would like to introduce her to you is Nid. She is a math teacher who teaches in Chonburee. We never fake when we talk or do things together. We always share happiness and sadness from the first day we met until now. We know that we are different but we make it balance by opening minds, more listening and forgiving the mistakes. We often talk on the phone and visit sometimes. Last week I visited her and we drove to Nong Nooch Garden&Resort and Pattaya Floating Market. We really enjoyed and I would like to visit her again next time. I really miss her when I came back to Bangkok. Our relationship never dies as long as we are still alive.

Get back to Thai's history at Prommitr Film Studio

Last Monday I had gone to Karnjanaburi with my family. We went to Prommitr Film Studio where the Legend of King Naresuan movie was taken on this place. I wondered that how could they set such a beautiful scene in the movie. This place is situate on the 700 acres wild land. The building was made from the cement and decorated with the foam. What we have seen in the movie, the real place is so much more different. Tan Muy the director of the film is a genius one who can make a really great movie from our history. He can make us pound to our country and also arouse us to protect and love our country. One moment I thought that how nice if I could wear the Thai custom and go around this studio.(freak dream) But this place is really made me feel pound to be Thai people, pound to born and live in the country which full of history. I realize that we have a lot of beautiful culture that the others don't. We have the greatest Kings of all.

A SCHOOL TRIP AT KHAO SOI DAO

Learning life from the nature is very important for the human because the nature safes our lives. The nature is precious and we need to preserve it because we can not survive without it. I love the nature and I would like to camp for a few days in the forest and you know my dream came true. Last week I was with a school trip to Khao Soi Dao in Juntaburee. I spent two nights with 108 students and 5 teachers there. The distance was a little far from Bangkok, it took us for 5 hours to get there. Khao Soi Dao is such a beautiful national park. I felt relaxed and happy with the nature around me. There are no voices from the cars or crazy sound in the city anymore. The only beautiful voice that I heard was from the animals in the forest. I walked into the forest to watch the birds and climbed up to the ninth level of waterfall. The big green trees, many kinds of fish and a beautiful waterfall were amazing real pictures in front of me. The students had fun to play waterfall after they were so tired from walking. I looked at them and felt proud of them. They learn how to live together and understand nature’s life. I know they had a wonderful time. The night before we left, we sang songs together and lighted the candles to promise that we will preserve the forest. As long as we preserve the nature, the nature will protect us from the danger. This is a real experience that I learn from this trip.

Elephant Reintroduction Foundation

I've translated one news about elephants in city. I've learnt\ that Elephant Reintroduction Foundation is under Her Majesty the Queen's patronage. H.M Queen Sirikit wants to help Thai elephants, domestic elephants to live in a forest.

The foundation will find the prospected elephants for the release program. And will pay the financial incentives per month to elephant owners for their elephants. Anyway before releasing, there are physical check up and health for these elephants. And also they will be trained to adapt themselves to wild habitat. After that the foundation officer will verify possibility in returning elephants to a wild. If yes, the elephants will be back into the wild. Finally, the officer will track and observe the elephant's behavior.

In 1997 the first 3 elephants-- Bualoi, Boonmee and Malai, were released by HM Queen Sirikit. The foundation can return many elephants to nature. You can see more information about elephants returned to a wild and the follow-up of them at http://elephantreintroduction.blogspot.com

"Long Live The King"

Today is the father's day. The king Bhumiphol will always sacrifice for Thais. Whenever Thais have to face the natural disaster such as flood. He will help and solve that problem immediately. He is very cleaver man. The latest case is flood disaster in central, north-east and south region. He can solve this problem. In this morning, I watched on television until the king came at the palace for parade ceremony. Before he will arrive there, Thais will say that "Long live the king" all the time in the same time, he will wave, too. His face expresses very happy as well as Thais are so happy. And I notice some boat in Nonthaburi to join with many boats at Siriraj waterside in this night. There are a performamce of light and fireworks so beautiful. Although the time will pass many years, Thai will still welcome him. Because he is father of Thais and I am so glad to live in Thailand. We love the king.
