moo ping

moo ping means "grilled pork" in thai.

2 things you can easily find in bangkok are grilled pork and street dogs. i just finished a thai movie "a bite of love". its about a friendship between a young girl and a puppy.

it was a street puppy who lost his mother (another street dog). and Kao Neow was a girl who raised up by her distance relatives. kao neow saw him when he's waiting for scrap of grilled pork under a street vendor's cart. thats why kao neow called him moo ping.

somehow the relatives did not allow her to bring a puppy home so she brought moo ping on her backpack anywhere she went. when moo ping get big enough to fit in her backpack, her "family" released moo ping to a far away temple. kao neow then find out that even her family rejected her.

she decided to leave home and seeking for moo ping, her true friend. she met a friend who gave her shelter and he taught her how to sell garland. in spare time will they visited temples for moo ping.

in the mean time moo ping got a new master, a rich and generous lady. moo ping were in a nice car with the lady when kao neow came over to offered garlands but moo ping had grown become a big and handsome dog that kao neow did not recognize him. the story did not happen to has happy ending :(

owl's bed time

its not easy at all for me to go to bed early.

such a torture for me to force myself to go to bed early since i normally do it about 1am - 2am. yes, im a night person. i enjoy doing things and think better at night.

these last 2 days i tried to set my bed time to 11pm. yikes .. really cannot even close my eyes. so i listened to my chinese lesson, hope that the lesson would make me boring and made me felt asleep. yup it worked (the last thing i remember was when chapter 2 just started)!

its 1.56am now. time to go :)
