Chinese Dim Sum + Movie

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. :D ) 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. :D 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 :P )

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 :D 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. :P

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!

Fai Ruk Arsoon | Beasty Love Fire

Starring:  Vicky Sunisa, Boy Prakorn, Puri, Bow Benjawan & Ace W

This is actually a remake of yet another old Thai Lakorn which came out probably in the early 90s. I have not seen the old version starring Off Pongpat  (don’t recall the girl name) and dubbed in Khmer as Pleurng Snaeh Komnarch, as it came out prior to my Thai Lakorn addictions however I have heard that it was a hit when it aired. So when I heard there’s a remake I really wanted to see it. It just finish airing last weekend and I just finished watching it a couple days ago. The story had a lot of potentials and the characters played their role well especially for Boy since this was his first lakorn as the leading male however the director or producer didn’t do such a good job, at least in my opinion. It was  dragging a lot in the beginning and then rushed toward the end. A bit too violent (domestic) so it might not be suitable for young children. I’m not going to spoil it for those who would still like to watch it.

Here’s my summary for Fai Ruk Arsoon ไฟรักอสูร 2009.

Kaew (Boy) is a fisherman who loves his wife Wan (Vicky) and daughter very much. Even though Wan is the jealousy and loud mouth talk of the town, Kaew still sacrifice everything and anything for his family. Wan always wanted to go to Bangkok and when they both saved enough money they headed to the city. While checking out shops and markets in the city they lost track of each other and when spotted one was on the opposite side of the road. When Kaew was trying to cross the street to get to his wife Kaew got hit by Vithoun’s (Ace) car. Vithoun took both of them into his house to care for his Kaew’s injured leg then offered them a place to stay. Little does Kaew know Vithoun got his eyes on Wan. He took her dining, tour the city, view the nightlight and after a few drinks along with some sweet talks Wan was willing to give it all. Later Kaew caught them both in bed together and he was outrage. He got physically with Vithoun but Wan ended up hitting her husband with a vase. Wan choose to stay with Vithoun in Bangkok while Vithoun kicked Kaew out of the house and sent him back to Krabi (where he came from).

Heartbroken Kaew returned to the village and nothing seem to make him feel better. He did not care about anything, not even his own daughter who was left to be taken care of by his neighbors and friend Pen (Bow). After some encouragement words from friends and neighbors in the village Kaew was able to pick himself up and started working as a seafood delivery man. Unfortunately, one day on his route he met a girl who resembles Wan so he automatically think that is her, more over she is about to get married, not with Vithoun but another rich guy.

Kaew got extremely upset and gather his friends together to come up with a plan to kidnap Wan. His plan was successful and the person who he thought was Wan was brought back to Krabi. She was torture, chained up, brutally hurt and humiliated in front of villagers. Bystander did not care as they were on Kaew side. They even think she deserves harder punishment than this. What does Wan have to say about this? She deny her identity and told Kaew along with others that they got the wrong person. Kaew refused to listen. He sexually assaulted her and chain her down so she doesn’t try to escape.

Will Kaew put his anger to the side and listen to what she has to say? If the girl he kidnapped is not his wife Wan, then who is she? Why does she look so much like his wife Wan?  Is this the case of mistaken identity? You will have to watch it to find out. :D

Khmer Song | Love Diary

Let’s step out of the kitchen and take a short break from cooking to enjoy this video I just made. :)   All images was acquire through Google search and edit by me. I also added some Khmer words to go along just in case my vocals isn’t clear.  This song was recorded awhile back so the audio quality isn’t so great.

It’s the Khmer version of a hit Chinese song called “Ci She Pen” by Kelly Chan. There’s also a Lao version with a different meaning but I love that too. Perhaps it’s available in many other languages as well. I just have not discover them yet.

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