ทำไมเวลา 24 hrs ถึงหมดเร็วจัง

ตื่นหกโมง ไปรดน้ำต้นไม้ เก็บอุจาระเจ้า Ginger/Parsley เปลี่ยนน้ำกินให้มัน ตักอาหารให้
ส่วนรินก้อพามันไปเดินเล่น Exercise พร้อมเอาใจ และฝึกมันอีกเล็กน้อย แค่นี้ก้อเกือบเจ็ดโมงแล้ว

แล้วก้ออาบน้ำแต่งตัวกินข้าวไปทำงาน กลับมาก้ออีก รินพาหมา hyper สองตัวไปเดินเล่นอีก ดาก้อรดน้ำต้นไม้อีก เก็บอึอีก เตรียมทำกับข้าว กินข้าว แล้วก้อได้เวลานอนอีกแล่ะ

เสาร์/อาทิตย์ ก้อทำความสะอาดบ้าน ปลูกต้นไม้ จัดสวน (ไอ้สองตัวนี้ทำหญ้าตายหมด)
ออกไปซื้อโน้นนี่ กลับบ้านมามืดอีกแล่ะ

เสาร์อาทิตย์นี้ตั้งใจจะไปดูหนัง วิ่งออกกำลังตอนเย็นให้ได้เลย

Hong Kong

After arrived here for 1 day. I don't feel like I am really in Hong Kong yet. So on my second day I went to the area called Tsim Sha Tsui. There are really a lot of shops for especially brand name cloth. I took a ferry and walked around Tsim Sha Tsui area for about 2 hours.. visited Harbour city, Park lane (Nathan road), peking road and tried fried meat ball there. It is different than meat ball we have in Thailand. They fried it with kind of turmeric I guessed.

The thing I like about Hong Kong is transportation and octopus card. They got tram, ferry, MTR, bus... you can go every where easily and you can pay the fair by the octopus card. but still you need to walk a lot.

During my staying here I wish to visit Mongkok, The peak, Avenue of the star, Repulse bay and then looking forward to go back to Thailand.

Furkie VS Cobra

My poor Furkie never thought that he could die fighting with Cobra.

Last week, there was also a snake that Furkie and Linnie tried to kill but my mom were there at Krathumbean house so the snake didn't survive.

This time, P'Noot and My mom went back home early and found that Furkie lied down on the floor not moving. After all confusion they found out that he died because of cobra. Because the Cobra's dead body was there too. I feel surprised when P'Noot called and told me the story.

He was a nice dog.. funny.. and brave.. when I played with him his eyes show me the happiness.... I guessed Linnie must be sad too...losting her friend in a battle with cobra like this...

Brick by brick my citizen…

To much effort to mow the lawn. We decided to take out the lawn and change to the special kind of grass that cannot be found from anywhere else but my mom’s home. Since my grand pa’s time, he took this kind of grass from somewhere (no one can tell). Its specialty is no cutting required! How nice!! But I need to wait patiently

Packing time..

It is always better to leave when you've been wasted so much time somewhere. It seems to be out of control but it is actully what I really wish for.

So now I am packing and ready to go back to Thailand. One big lugguage, one smaller, two hand bags and one laptop. They are all quite heavy. I don't want to imagine carrying these luggages from 4th floor of the apartment and hope the weight will not exceed the airline's weight limit.

From all the terrible things I experienced in this trip..(small and old apartment, too much of idle time at work and too short period of time informed before we have to leave.) I also found at least a couple of good things..
* Opportunity of English practice
* Traveling and having new friends
* And may be ..Flying.. Thai airways express (non-stop) for 16 hours

..That's all..

Coup

“Coup is happening now in Thailand!” I couldn't believe this!. It was just happening now at 11:00 (NY time) on Sept 19,2006.
According to BBC breaking news, It says "Thailand Prime minister announced emergency state in Thailand". Then a lot of my friends in Thailand going online via MSN and informed us more that the situation was not clear. They also didn’t really know what's happening. All TV broadcast were shut and showing Royal family pictures instead.

BBC is really good. They were fast and keep updating all the time. So I continued on checking the situations on their Website...So far the takeover has been so peaceful that they published picture with discription: "Locals took turns to pose for photographs in front of the tanks, which were decorated with flowers." : O

Potluck

Last Sunday (Sept 17, 2006), Rin had come up with the idea of Khom-pung-na-moo (piggy face bread) and also klowy-bod-she (Banana nun) as an appetizer and dessert for that night dinner.

Samantha did the main course called Shepherd pie which was really nice with layers of potato, tomato and minced lamp. Khom-pung-na-moo was also good. We just burned a few of them. Rin was experimenting also on the new way to make dipping. That was amazing. Now I am staring to enjoy drinking wine with meal. I think when we go back to Thailand, we will have it more.

Statue of Liberty

Please don't tell me this place is one of the most visited places in America, Statue of Liberty.

Visiting lower Manhatton on Sunday Sep 10,06, we started walking from Federal hall and New York Stock Exchange, visited Battery park then walked along the path with quite a nice view of the sea and Liberty Statue. We also took Staten Island ferry. It was just OK..a little bit disappointed actually.

The Tram..

We didn’t have any special plans for the passed long weekend (labor day). The apartment we are staying is located near Queenboro bridge. So we decided to take the tram across the East river (as it was just re-opened after 4 months maintenance). The view up there was nice. But once we got into Roosevelt Island, we didn't find anything interesting..not at all. It is just a small island you can walk all around the island.

Manhattan

I have been here for 3 months already and still felt like a stranger living in a familiar place. I was asked many times for a question like how do find it? You like it here? And my answer is “it’s ok”. NYC is a busy city and I found that American always on the runs. They walk, eat and speak quite fast. I sometimes saw people having their food while walking.

Even it is hard to find a space in New York, I saw a lot of people walking around with if not a big dog, a very small dog. Sometimes, the small dogs just got lucky, they don’t even have to walk, dog owners manage to put them in a cute bag and carry around.
The streets in New York City are well organized.. messy things are all placed underground, it is easy for me to walk around without getting lost. On sidewalk, I often find street vendors like Hotdog (with Pretzel), nuts, fruits vendors, and newsstands.

After my complaint of staying in New York with Jib, She replied me that “Well, how come you get bored so easy? There is a lot to see and to do in NY. It's very dynamic. Parks, outdoor concert and other stuffs. Try to find something and it will be fun. Summer always has some activities going on”, right! There are a lot of places that interest me (very little). I have been to Central park, American Museum of National History, China town, Soho and Union square. It was quite nice. China town is considered quite a big area comparing to China town in other cities. The green open market (Union Square) was also interesting place. Fruit, vegetable and dairy products selling there were fresh..good quality and not expensive at all.

Six flags Great Adventure

I’ve never been this much of roller coaster riding in my life! Non stop 8 Roller coasters within a day. I and Rin gave up on the last one. Luckily the “Kingda ka” was not in service. Its height looks scary.

Besides from all the roller coasters, I also enjoyed simulator, 3D, boat riding, paratroop and car bump. We found that the car bump was rubbish (according to Sam). We couldn’t go fast and had to drive in one way!

We also watched 2 shows. Extreme show and dolphin (It was a nice show but a bit too short).
After all the excitements, I'm aching all over especially my neck and legs

Brooklyn

We went to Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. Brooklyn is right next to New York City. It is quiet city and doesn’t look so busy like Manhattan. Chieu and Sam were there already. We walked along the 7 Ave and had Mexican food for lunch. Rin ordered a dish ordered Cameron (I liked it a lot even he was so mean and gave me only one bite). Then we went to Prospect Park. This park is still nature with lot of big trees. We were told that it will be more beautiful and colorful in autumn.

In the evening, we walked to the pier. It is just besides Brooklyn Bridge. From there we can see nice view of New York. Ice cream at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory was good. I think it was even better than having huge ice cream and not-home-made one from Serendipity.

Walking across Brooklyn Bridge on that day was really nice. Unlike other bridges I have been, this bridge gives you your own walk path and it is in the middle of the bridge. Nice view all the way there with some history lessons.

Woke up by the loud noise from the smoke detector at 7:30, I got up and tried to figure out what happened? Something is burning?” None ..I couldn't find any of them. Why didn't the sound stop? I went right away and turn the notebook off. I was playing audio book all night and thought it was overheated and could cause fire.
I checked the smoke detector. There was no button or anything to stop the sound. I finally took the whole box off and found out that there was water dripping. I started checking. Water was dripped from the ceiling and fall everywhere on the wall. What was happening! I asked Askhar, the so-called apartment manager. He was so upset and didn't want to explain anything (after he argued with the tenant who lives upstairs.)
Yes, the water was overflow from her sink. I was not sure if it will happen again.
That was my another day in very tiny apartment in New York city.
