Singing Cambodian songs is another hobby of mine. In this song Why Does Loving You Hurt So Much, ស្រឡាញ់បងឈឺចាប់ម្ល៉េះ (Srawline Bong Mdich Chhir Jab Mless), express one girl devotion to a guy who she loves dearly even knowing that the possibility to being together is next to zero.  I have included English subtitles for my fellow readers who are not Cambodian and would like to understand the full meaning of this song.

In addition I not only want  to share with you this lovely song but also my pet fish. I have a 10 gallon fish tank with several different types of fish as you can see here. They seem to get along fine and some have already had babies which you will see up close in the video.

Hope you enjoy my song and my video. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

As mentioned in my tweets I’ve been tackling some projects. This is an on going project but at least the major part of it is almost done. Will be sharing what that project is in my later post.

In the mist of things, during my breaks I managed to squeeze in some time to catch up on Mart Krissada (my favorite Thai actor ATM) lakorn called Plerng See Rong which translate to Rainbow Flames. It had just finish airing last Sunday January 17, 2010. There was a total of 14 episodes (each episode about 45 mins long). His co-star is Susie-Susira Angelina Nanna. This is my first time seeing Susie’s work. To me, what stand out was her accent in both Thai and English. She speaks Thai (too) clearly? It’s like sharp. Some might think it’s good because it’s nice and clear but other might just thinks that she is trying to remember her lines and it’s not natural. Either way it didn’t bother me but it was something I could not help notice. There is a spoiler at the end so don’t read it all the way if you don’t like spoiler.

Here’s my summary for Plerng See Rong เพลิงสีรุ้ง 2010

Tin Rath (Mart) was in a relationship with Kat (Nampeung) but due to family hardship Kat had to wed Tin’s father. She later had a son and Tin then distance himself by study abroad and later engaged with Rose (Bow). Tin’s father died and Kat was miserable because her only son Kuad (Alex) was not as she expected. He was gay. She can’t accept that fact due to her hi-society lifestyle and most importantly she is afraid Tin Rath might fine out. Luckily Kuad has a loving and understanding uncle Mai (Louis) who is Kat’s younger brother. Jom Kwan or Honey (Susie) is an only child who was abandon by her father’s strict Chinese family. She and her mother moved to America shortly after being rescued from the water by Tin Rath when Jom Kwan by her own grandma.

Years gone by and Jom Kwan returned to Thailand because her mother went into a new relationship and became pregnant. Her relationship with her father was still not good. She and Kuad became best friends due to their common family issues. Kuad told his mother that Jom Kwan is his girlfriend so that she doesn’t over beat him. Jom Kwan played along. However, his mother still did not believe him and one day witness her only son dressing up like a drag queen and performing on stage. It made her furious, upset, and extremely disappointed. Words were exchanged and Kuad decided to end his life by riding his motorcycle off a cliff. His mother then put the blame on Jom Kwan and labeled her as the bad influence. This is where the drama starts.

Tin Rath returns to the sad new and seek revenge with Jom Kwan. Jom Kwan later found out that her hero (the one that saved her from drowning) is Kuad’s older brother. To make her relationship with Kuad more realistic, she lied that she’s pregnant with Kuad. Of course Kat and Mai knows better that it isn’t true but to cover up with Tin and society she had to allow the lie to go on. In return Kat had promise Jom Kwan that she will not report her to her father who is desperately looking for her. Therefore, in Tin Rath’s eye, Jom Kwan is a poor, whore, and down low kinda girl who only seek money and fun. Revenge took it’s turn and Tin Rath began to shift to something deeper. His action was unstoppable and Jom Kwan had to confess that she was not pregnant. It just made the flames even hotter and as a result Tin rapped Jom Kwan. A couple of intimate moments led to Jom Kwan pregnancies. With this news Kat got extremely psycho. She fears that Tin Rath will leave her for Jom Kwan especially if he knows the truth that she isn’t a poor girl but instead the only daughter to a wealthy banker, who’s in fact trying to pursue her. But Kat’s heart is with Tin and had always been with Tin, so she claims. Her love for Tin was too strong that he caused her to make bad decisions like kicking Mai out and attempt to murder Jom Kwan. Tin on the other hand is blind-sided and seems to believe every single story Kat tells him. He got aggressive and physical with Jom Kwan. When she was rushed to the hospital by her close friends she ask them to lied to everyone that she and her baby is gone. This was probably Tin Rath turning point when he realized he killed his wife and baby.  As Jom Kwan is no longer alive, Honey appears which shocked both Tin and Kat because Honey look so much like Jom Kwan. Of course it’s the same person but Jom Kwan and her father reconcile and Honey is the name that her father calls her. Now she is introduce as the Banker’s daughter. Drama began to unravel again as Tin tries to prove his love to Honey thinking she is the same person. Honey is playing hard to get and also wants Tin to learn his lesson for all those sorrow and pain he had caused.

One day Tin overheard Kat and Mai argument about the death of Kuad and Jom Kwan truth identity. In addition he also found out that Kat was the one who attempt to kill his wife and baby in the first place. His heart is now so long gone from Kat. This just upset Kat even more. Since she’s not going to get with Tin, then nobody will stand a chance. One last meal together turned into an ugly killing scene. Kat attempt to kill Tin. Thinking that he died, she wanted to join him with his death and slit her throat. Luckily Tin was still alive and rushed to the hospital but too late for Kat. She was pronounce dead at the scene. Honey still denies that she is the same person as Jom Kwan even at the verge of Tin’s death. However, once he was stable he sneaked out of the hospital. Honey showed up and the both had another intimate moment together. The next morning every body thinks that’s Tin was crazy and that is he seeing and saying things as Honey would never do that.

Honey is on her way to the airport to catch a flight to America but her father asked Tin to disguise as the driver and attempt to stop her plans. Honey was pissed off and struggled to break free but fainted and collapse shortly. Tin took her to the island where everyone else waited. The doctor (also Tin’s friend) examine her. He said to Honey that if she was the girl who spent the night with Tin’s a month ago when he first got out of the hospital, then she must be Jom Kwan and is now pregnant with Tin’s baby, again. This was something she can’t deny. The beach wedding was set up at sunset where they both shared their love together.

I’m blaming the heat for my cuckoo head. I got all my days mixed up. For some reason I thought Thursday was Friday and Friday was Saturday, wth ?? I’ve been waiting to get my hair cut for awhile and last weekend I missed the opportunity because by the time I got to my sister’s salon on Saturday she closed already. I didn’t want to let her wait because we had my lil nephew birthday party going on that evening. Although I spend the night there in Stockton, her salon is closed on Sunday. As I thought yesterday was a Saturday I figure I’ll go to Stockton again and take my nephew to go watch a movie. (Last weekend we owe him a movie because we lost when playing pool and losers had to pay for movies and snacks. ) Off we go to Stockton.

On our way to Stockton we stopped by to have lunch at Tri-Valley Seafood Restaurant. They serve dim sum all day and that was what we were there for. It bring lots of good memories because when I was working in that area, we always go there on Fridays for dim sum at lunch time. Although as I mentioned in my previous blog post that there’s a new management. I knew what I was going to order already which are the Chicken Claws and the Steamed Pork Ribs. Everything else are selected by impulse. We learned our lesson the last time we were there not to order the Sticky Rice in Banana Leaves. It took forever! This time I ordered a plain Soy Sauce Noodles to go along with the other stuff, BUT… it still end up being the last item out! Darn, what’s up with that? Anyways, we still managed to clean everything up and the bill came to about $27 for 2.

Next was a stop at my sister’s salon during her regular business hours LOL. I got my all-around layered haircut with a side-sweep bangs! I hardly get my bangs chop because I have natural wavy hair so this is like a BIG CHANGE for me. I chopped it to about medium length (pix will come soon – maybe )

Then since it was a Friday not a Saturday we had to wait for my nephew to get out of school and then go pick him up at his Daddy’s shop. Finally we got to the theater only to find out that “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” does not show in 3D and we have to go back down to Downtown to catch the 3D. That was where we came from, but didn’t want to bother with meter parking so we went uptown. I’ve experience movies in 3D already but my lil nephew hasn’t and he wanted to experience that. I guess we gotta wait til next time.

So the movie I enjoyed it. I think I laugh louder than some of the kids in there LOL there were certain parts that I find really funny. I heard it was from a book. I didn’t read that book nor did my nephew but we all enjoyed the movie. Would i recommend it? Only if you going with kids cuz my lil nephew and I had side-talks during the movies and so that sort of add to fun. Unlike “Up” that one you can enjoy with or without kids.

Once the movie was over, we headed to my Mother house to pick up some good stuff like Kwah-Ko, Sun-Dried Fish and Mam (Pickled Shrimp & Papaya). Packed that stuff up, headed to drop off my nephew and came back home. But not without playing a couple rounds of pool with him, however I lost all 3 games damn!
