I can't sleep at night anymore. And I got the order from the coffee shop of my dad's friend. She ordered the blueberry cheese pies, cookies and Chinese puff pastries...O_O yesterday I went to bed around 3 a.m. as I have to bake the Chinese puff pastries and today I have to started my day by making blueberry cheese pies T^T fallowed with the 5 pages of translation and I realized that I have to finish an essay 5.1 first.

CULTURE SHOCK!!!
Closing of shop
Most shop in many coutries in Europe or Australia alway closed at 5.00 p.m. or 6.00 p.m. But in Thailand in evening untill midnight or next time, there are many many shop open especially the food shop. If you live in oversea countries, you cannot buy everything that's food or anything. I think thai students who live there they may be hurgry in the night for this reason they should buy the food for stocking.
Taking a bath
In winter season, the European take a bath 2 time a week. When they go out, they will use perfume more than taking a bath. In opposite way although Thais is staying in the winter season, they must take a bath. Eventhough they are cold or hot, they must take a bath before doing several activities.

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.
Burlesque takes a legend...to make a star.
Diane Warren and Cher show audiences all how they are great.
Be Careful!
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.

Somtam!
Do you like to eat E-sarn food? Last week I recommended Shabu buffet restaurant that I always go to dine out. Today I would like to recommend a E-sarn food restaurant. One more my favorite food is “Somtam” or known as Papaya Salad in terms of English language. Since I have stayed here for one and a half year, I went to eat Somtam in many places. Yesterday I found that this restaurant “Laab Udon Phochanakarn” is the best E-sarn food restaurant. In the evening of that day, I and my boyfriend ordered six dishes which were Somtam, Laab Ped, roasted chicken, spicy pork soup, spicy Moo Yor salad, and Tub Moo Wan. They’re too many dishes for two persons, but we can eat all of them. Empty dishes left! That’s because we didn’t have lunch. Both of us were very full. A funny thing that happened is we only ate and said nothing. We said when we had ordered and when we had finished all of them. Perhaps, we both were very hungry. The restaurant is on Bangkok-Nonthaburi where near Soi Bangkok-Nonthaburi 39. I hope you may go to try eating E-sarn food here. You’ll say “Yummy! Yummy!” Sunday, January 23, 2011
Beam Kawee
Beam Kawee is my favorite singer. I like him since I was 15 years old, so I want to write about him.
Kawee Tanjararak, mainly known as Beam, was born on May 18, 1980 in Bangkok, Thailand. He is a singer from the popular Thai boy band "D2B" which included two other members, Worrawech Danuwong (Dan) and Panrawat Kittikorncharoen (Big).
The Ancient Buddhist Scriptures (Tripitaka Scriptures)
Last Saturday, I attended the exhibition of the ancient Buddhist Scriptures, likely known as Buddhism’s Dead Sea Scrolls, be temporarily enshrined at Buddhamonthon in Nakhon Pathom. So I have learned that thousands of the ancient Buddhist Scriptures were smuggled from Afghanistan before two giant Buddha statues were destroyed by the Taleban.
Mr. Sam Fogg, London Specialist, sold them to Mr. Martin Schoyen, Director and Owner of The Schoyen Collection, Norway. There were 5,000 complete scriptures and 8,000 pieces of broken scriptures inscribed on palm leaves, bark, leather and brass plates.
Archaeologists believed that these Buddhist scriptures have been written in the sixth century. The world’s oldest ancient Buddhist scriptures were found in Bamiyan cave and kept in 400-600 bowls. These scriptures were written with “Prommi” characters, which were used during Buddha’s time.
Besides, there are many Tripitaka scriptures of many countries exhibited such as Japan, Lao, Korea, Tibet. The story of two giant Buddha statues was told in multimedia presentation so I understand Buddha’s teaching that all things are impermanent.
There are the different of them such as....
