De eldre i Thailand ( The old people in Thailand)

De fleste gamle i Thaialnd bor sammen med barna sine. I hjemlandet mitt har vi aldershjem og sykehjem også, men de eldre foretrekker å bo sammen med barna sine. De synes at det er ensomt å bo alene.

Thaialnd er et landbruksland. De fleste er bønder. Bøndene får ikke pensjon, så barna må ofte ta seg av foreldrene når de blir gamle. Barna liker å bo sammen med foreldren sine fordi de kan hjelpe til å passe på barn. Men hvis de eldre ikke har barn, kan de bo sammen med niesene eller nevøene sine. Som takk for hjelpen får de arve etter dem. Det er ikke mange gamle som bor alene. De fleste gamle foretrekker å bo sammen med datteras familie fordi de synes at det er lettere å bo sammen med dattera enn sønnen. I Thailand synes man at døtrene er flinkere til å passe på foreldrene enn sønnene. Derfor vil foreldrene bo sammen med datteras familie:-)

Hva gjorde du i går?(What did you do yesterday?)

I går sto jeg opp klokka halv sju. Da var jeg veldig trøtt. Først måtte jeg lage matpakke for å ta til skolen. Etterpå spiste jeg frokost og leste litt avisen. Klokka fem over åtte dro jeg hjemmefra. Først tok jeg T-bane til Stovnersenter,og så tok jeg buss til Smedstua skole. Hjemmefra til skolen tok omtrent en halv time, så jeg hadde nok tid for å slappe av før skolen strated. På vei til skolen kjøpte jeg en kopp kaffe, for jeg var ikke våken enda:-) Kanskje jeg var ikke vant til å stå opp tidlig.
Av og til gikk jeg og venninnene mine fra Stovnersenter til skolen også, men i går var jeg lat til å gå. Jeg er ikke sikker hvor langt det er til skolen, men jeg synes det tar tid ca femten minutter å gå.
Jeg var på skolen i fire og en halv time. Klokka halv to var jeg ferdig med skolen. På hjemveien handlet jeg i matbutikken. Jeg kjøpte grønnsaker som importerte fra hjemlandet mitt fordi jeg skulle lage Thai mat til middag. Jeg var ikke førnoyd med prisen, men likevel kjøpte jeg det:-)
Klokka halv seks laget jeg middag, og så spiste jeg middag mens så på TV. Det var deilig å spise å se på TV samtidig, trodde jeg.
På hjemme pleier jeg å lage Thai mat fordi jeg kan lage bare Thai mat. Men av og til laget jeg italiensk mat også. Spagettien lager jeg often, for det er lett å lage og smake godt:-)
Etter middag gjorde jeg hjemmeleksene. Jeg fikk ikke så mye lekser, men likevel fant jeg lekser meg selv. Jeg pleier å lese og skrive hver dag. Jeg skal ta Bergenstesten i tidlig neste år. Derfor må jeg jobbe hardt. Jeg synes at jeg bør ta Master grad i matematikk her, men først og fremst må jeg klare Bergenstesten. Så nå lærer jeg meg selv hjemme. Jeg håper virkelig at jeg klarer den. Mange sa at Bergenstesten var så vanskelig ,så jeg var veldig bekymret.
I klassen min har jeg fått to snille lærere, og de begge hjelper meg mye med nosken. En av dem heter Hilde; hun har laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang erfaring i å undervise innvandrere. Hun har vært lærer i 21 år nå. Jeg trives veldig godt med å lære av henne.
Nok for nå ! Fordi jeg vil legge meg tidlig i dag. Jeg blir ikke trøtt i morgen hvis jeg legge meg tidligere:-)
"Det er aldri for seint å begynne å studere. "
"No one is too OLD to learn: "Det er jeg helt enig:-)
Ha det godt!
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR KLEM FRA TOM YUM KOONG:-)

Barndommen min(My childhood)

Jeg skal fortelle om barndommen min.Først og fremst, la meg fortelle litt om meg selv. Jeg heter Tom Yam Koong. Thailand er hjemlandet mitt, men nå bor jeg i Oslo i norge. Jeg er 29 år og gift,men ingen barn enda.
Jeg er oppvokst i ei lita bygd i Suphanburi i Thailand. Der bodde jeg sammen med far, mor, fire brødre, ei søster i et lite hus.
I gamle dager var det vanlig å ha store familier. Mange generasjoner bodde sammen. Besteforeldrene tok seg av barnebarna sine. Derfor trengte man ikke barnehage. Kvinnene var hjemeværende, og de tok ansvar for hus og barn. Mennene skulle forsøge dem. Det var vanlig på den tida. Man giftet seg, fikk barn, og så var det kvinnens oppgave å være hjemme og skape et godt hjem. Det gjorde mora mi også. Mora mi passet på meg da jeg var barn. Jeg hadde besteforeldre som bodde sammen med oss, men dessverre døde de før jeg ble født. Det var veldig trist fordi barnebarna ville ha besteforeldre også.
Faren min var bonde, og han hadde egen jord. Det var hardt å jobbe på gården fordi de ikke hadde mange maskiner i gamle dager. Men nå er det bedre, for bøndene får bedre maskiner.
Da jeg va liten, hjalp jeg til hjemme. Men da vi ble større, måtte vi lære alt om hvordan man driver gården. I helgene fikk vi ikke lov til å sitte foran tv-en fordi vi måtte hjelpe til på gården. Men på ettermiddagen så hele familien på tv sammen. Det var en veldig fin tid, syntes jeg:-)
Faren min døde i 1988 da jeg var 11 år. Det var en tung tid for oss alle. Da måtte mora mi jobbe utenfor hjemmet og passe på barna. Barna måtte hjelpe henne så godt de kunne.
Jeg setter stor pris på mora mi. Jeg synes at hun er en kjempeflink mor. Nå lengter jeg veldig etter henne. La meg ringe til henne, og så vil jeg si :" Jeg elsker deg, mamma. "

Drømmen min(My dream)

Jeg har vært på skolen i tolv år også pluss fire år på universitetet.De to første årene på universitetet lærte jeg mange forskjellige fag for eksempel kjemi, engelsk, fysikk osv, men de to siste årene lærte jeg bare matematikk.Det var veldig interessant og spennende å lære mye matematikk. Matematikk er et av favorittfagene mine.
Etter at jeg var ferdig med matematikkutdannelsen, fikk jeg en jobb på skolen. Der jobbet jeg som matematikklærer i neste seks år, fire år på barneskole og nesten to år på videregående skole; på samme skole som heter Roong Aroon skole i Bangkok, Thailand. Jeg har også undervist elever med autisme og down syndrome, og jeg har vært klasseforstander også. Jeg synes at det var veldig givende å undervise psykisk utviklingshemmete, men jeg fikk bare to elever som trengte hjelp i min klasse.Jeg har mange gode minner fra den tida:-)
Jeg giftet meg med en nordmann i april i 2005,og jeg flyttet til Norge noen måneder senere. Etter at jeg hadde gått på norskkurs på Folkeuniversitet i tre og en halv måned, lærte jeg mye på kort tid. Men jeg kunne ikke huske alt jeg hadde lært:-) Norsken min ble bedre etter jula i fjor fordi jeg måtte snakke mye norsk med familien min her. Nå synes jeg livet er lettere når jeg kan snakke norsk. Så synes jeg at det er veldig viktig å lære språket i landet man skal bo i. Etter at jeg fikk personnummer,måtte jeg vente omtrent tre måneder for å få plass på Smedstua skole. Det var ganske lang tid, så hjemme prøvde jeg å lære norsk selv også. En gang sa jeg til min mann at han måtte hjelpe meg med å lære norsk,og huske å snakke bare norsk med meg.Hvis jeg ikke forsto,måtte han forklare på norsk. Så kunne jeg lære nye ord hver dag. Han hjalp å rette på norsken min også.
Jeg tenkte på hvordan jeg kunne lære mer norsk.Så syntes jeg at jeg kunne lære ved å lese mye, snakke mye, høre mye,skrive mye og spørre mye hvis jeg ikke forsto.
Nå er det veldig fint å gå på skolen igjen. Jeg kan spørre lærere når jeg har spørsmål. Og de hjelper meg mye med norsken. På denne skolen har jeg fått mange venner som kommer fra mange forskjellige land. Jeg trives godt med å gå på skolen.
Jeg har også tenkt å begynne å studere her, men først må jeg lære mer norsk. Nå vet jeg ikke hva jeg skal gjøre i framtida, men det er veldig fint hvis jeg kan få en jobb som lærer her. Fordi jeg liker å undervise matematikk.Og jeg synes at det er veldig hyggelig å jobbe med barn. Det er drømmejobben min også.
Etter at jeg har klart Bergentesten,har jeg kanskje lyst til å jobbe i en barnehage en stund. Der kan jeg praktisere norsk med kollegaene og barna. Jeg vil gjerne ha erfaring i jobben her før jeg tar utdanning her. Og jeg har lyst til å lære mer matematikk.Det gleder jeg til. "Jeg håper at min jobb blir utrolig givende og interessant". Dette er en fin setning som læreren min,Hilde,sa til alle elever i klassen sin.
Hva er viktig i jobben din? For meg,er det viktigst å få jobb som jeg er glad i.God lønn er ikke så viktig hvis jeg er fornøyd med jobben:-)

กาแฟหรือถ้วยกาแฟ(Coffee or Coffee cup)

วันหนึ่ง ศิษย์เก่ามหาวิทยาลัยแห่งน็อตเทรอะดามกลุ่มหนึ่งกลับไปเยี่ยมสถาบัน ไม่ช้าวงสนทนาก็เริ่มเปลี่ยนไปเป็นการบ่นพร่ำเกี่ยวกับความเครียดในเรื่องการทำงานและปัญหาชีวิต แล้วอาจารย์ก็เสนอเลี้ยงกาแฟกลุ่มลูกศิษย์เก่า อาจารย์เดินเข้าไปในครัวและออกมาพร้อมกับกาแฟเหยือกโตและถ้วยกาแฟแบบต่างๆ บ้างเป็นถ้วยกระเบื้อง บ้างเป็นถ้วยพลาสติก และบ้างทำด้วยแก้ว โดยบางใบเป็นแบบพื้นๆธรรมดา บางใบสวยวิจิตรสูงค่า อาจารย์บอกให้ลูกศิษย์แต่ละคนจัดการการดื่มกาแฟร้อนๆ กันเอาเอง และเมื่อลูกศิษย์ทุกคนต่างมีถ้วยกาแฟในมือกันทุกคนแล้ว อาจารย์ก็กล่าวว่า ลองสังเกตุดูกันหรือเปล่าว่า ถ้วยสวยๆ แพงๆ ถูกเลือกไปหมดเหลือไว้แต่ถ้วยแบบธรรมดาราคาถูก เป็นเรื่องปกตินะที่พวกเราต่างก็มักจะเลือกสิ่งที่ดีที่สุดให้กับตัวเอง
ซึ่งนี่คือที่มาของความเครียดและปัญหาทั้งหลายแหล่ในชีวิต ในขณะที่สิ่งที่พวกเราต้องการแท้จริงแล้วคือกาแฟไม่ใช่ถ้วยกาแฟ แต่จิตสำนึกกลับนำพาเราไปเลือกที่ถ้วยและมิหนำซ้ำยังคอยชำเลืองมองถ้วยของคนอื่นๆ อีกด้วย หากชีวิตคือกาแฟ หน้าที่การงาน ตำแหน่งต่างๆ ในสังคมก็คือถ้วยใส่กาแฟ มันเป็นเพียงเครื่องมืออุปกรณ์ช่วยหยิบจับหรือประคองชีวิตของเรา มันไม่ได้ทำให้เนื้อหาจริงๆ ของชีวิตเปลี่ยนไป
บางครั้ง.........การมัวไปเพ่งเล็งที่ถ้วยใส่กาแฟก็ทำให้เราลืมที่จะใส่ใจกับรสชาติของตัวกาแฟ
เมื่อเช้านี้ถ้วยกาแฟ เอ๊ะ ไม่ใช่สิ กาแฟของคุณรสชาติเป็นยังไง?
I got this forward mail from a lovely friend after I read it...I like it too:-)

Lucia,vær så snill å se på dette bildet!

Hei Lucia,Husket du at jeg sa til deg om epletret som jeg fant i skogen når jeg gikk for å plukke bær med svigemora mi.På fredag kveld gikk jeg og mannen min til skogen fordi jeg ville vise ham dette epletret.
Vi tok bare en av mange elpene for å smake,og jeg syntes at det smaket veldig godt,men litt surt også:-)
Jeg har kjøpt mange epler fra butikken også,men det smaker ikke så deilig som jeg fikk fra skogen,tror jeg.Kanskje fordi det er gratis,ikke sant??? hehehe!!!
Og nå gleder jeg meg til de er modne.Min mann sa at jeg måtte vente om en måned.Hvis du kommer å besøke meg her,kan jeg vise deg også.Jeg vil gjerne invitere deg på Thai middag en dag hvis du er fri.Og ikke bare deg,din mann også:-)
Lucia,se på dettet bildet, tok jeg det for å vise deg:-)
Nå er det sengetid,i mogen må jeg sto opp tidligere enn i dag.Skolen starter i morgen:-)
Ha det bra nå.
God natt,sov godt og drøm søt.Klem fra Pa,Tom Yum Koong:-)

Khao Neeo Mamuang!

Thai Sweet sticky rice with mango,"Khao Neeo Mamuang".
This is the one of my favourite dishes which I tried to cook here,Norway.
I choose to use the Brasil mangoes instead of Thai mangoes because of Thai mangoes are very expensive here.These are tasty and sweet but not as fragrant as most Thai mangoes:-)
I cooked it yesterday.And husband really enjoyed it,he said it's one of his favourite dishes too:-)

Shopping day???

I dag dro Tom Yum Koong til byen for å møte venninna hennes,Lucia.Først gikk Tom Yum Koong på Rice bowl restaurant,og så spiste de Thai mat sammen.Hun bestilte Thai style wide noodles in thick sauce,"Kuaytiao Lad Na",og venninna hennes bestilte Thai beef stir-fried with oyster sauce,"Pad Neua Nam Man Hoi".
De hadde veldig hyggelig tid sammen.Tom Yum koong var glad i maten sin,men hun kunne ikke spise alt fordi hun fikk en kjempestor tallerken:-)
Etter hadde de nok mat inn magene sine,gikk de i klærbutikkene for å handle litt,tror jeg.Bare litt:-)Ikke sant,Lucia???
Da Tom Yum Koong kom hjem,overrasket mannen hennes fordi hun ikke kjøpte klær(Ingen klær).Men hun kjøpte mass grønnsaker og frukt.Vet du hvorfor hun kjøpte mye mat?Fordi hun skal dra til tempelet i morgen:-).Hun skal lage to forskjellige mat (to retter),Pork in Chinese five spice,"Pae Lo" og Chicken curry,"Gang Gai". Men nå skal hun fortelle hvordan hun lager Pork in Chinese five spice.Og neste gang skal hun skrive om hvordan hun lager Chicken curry.Er det greit?:-)
Lucia er flink til å lære Thai:-)
Lucia,Your favourite dish is :Pad Neua Nam Man Hoi(på Thai)
Pad= stir-fried
Neua=beef
Nam Man Hoi=Oyster sauce.
Så neste gang skal Luica bestiller på Thai.Er det greit?Ha det nå,Tom Yum Koong:-)

Bringebær-Raspberry

Vi er så heldige å ha tilgang til friske bær hele året.På sommeren dominere de norske fra skog og hage,mens resten as året importerer vi.De fleste bær inneholder mye fiber,vitaminer,og mineraler,og ikke minst så er de en stor kilde til antioksidanter.
bjørnebær,bringebær,blåbær,jordbær,solbær,tyttebær...
^^--^^ For to dager siden gikk Tom Yum Koong og svigermora hennes inn skogen for å plukke bær.På skogen fant de bare bringebær og litt solbær.Da de plukket bær,regnet det litt.Tom Yum Koong tenkte at det var svært kjedelig når det regner,så hun gledet seg til å gå hjem.Uansett det kunne hun ikke gå hjem fordi svigermora hennes hadde lyst til å plukke mer.Stakkars Tom Yum Koong.:-) Likevel fikk de nok bringebær til for å lage syltetøy.Da var hun fornøyd igjen!

Miss Universe 2005

Miss Universe อ่านแล้วดูรูปนะน่าประทับใจมาก ขอบอก…คนไทยได้อะไรจากการประกวด Miss Universe หลังจากที่ได้ดูเทปบันทึกการประกวด Miss Universe 2006 จบ สิ่งแรกที่ได้รับจากการประกวดในครั้งนี้คือ ความรู้สึกประทับใจและภูมิใจ ซึ่งคิดว่าคนไทยหลายๆคนที่ได้ดูการประกวดนี้ก็คงจะรู้สึกเช่นนี้ด้วย ความประทับใจและความภูมิใจนี้ไม่ได้เกิดจากการที่ได้เห็นนางงามคนใหม่ที่ได้รับตำแหน่ง Miss Universe 2006 แต่ความประทับใจและความภูมิใจนั้นเกิดขึ้นเมื่อเห็นการอำลาตำแหน่งของ นาตาลี เกลโบวา Miss Universe 2005 ซึ่งเธอได้รักษาคำสัญญาที่เธอให้ไว้กับคนไทยว่าจะช่วยเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรมไทย ตั้งแต่นาทีแรกจนนาทีสุดท้ายเธอก็ยังคงไม่เคยลืมสัญญา ในช่วงของการอำลาตำแหน่งเธอได้ก้าวเข้ามาอยู่กลางเวทีแล้วก้มลงไหว้อย่างสวยงาม เพื่อขอบคุณสื่อมวลชนและประชาชน(อย่างที่เด็กไทยบางคนยังไหว้ได้ไม่สวยเท่าที่เธอไหว้) แต่สิ่งที่เห็นแล้วถึงกับขนลุกด้วยความปลาบปลื้มก็คือ สายรัดข้อมือสีเหลืองสด เรารักพระเจ้าอยู่หัว ที่นาตาลีได้ใส่ไว้ที่ข้อมือข้างซ้ายแทนที่เครื่องประดับอื่นที่น่าจะเข้ากับชุดราตรีสีน้ำเงินเข้มมากกว่า มันยิ่งทำให้เกิดความประทับและภูมิใจยิ่งขึ้น ขอบคุณที่คุณให้เกียรติเมืองไทยและช่วยเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรมไทยอันดีแก่ชาวโลก

I'm impressed indeed after I read this mail,so let me put it on here,Tom Yum Koong:-)

หวัดดีจ๊ะ... ตอนนี้เราอยู่ที่ประเทศนอรเวย์น่ะ เมื่อหลายสัปดาห์ก่อนมีโอกาสแวะไปที่หอสมุดใหญ่ใจกลางเมืองออสโล ที่หอสมุดแห่งนี้มีหนังสือเกือบทุกชาติทุกภาษาจากทั่วโลก เราดีใจมากเพราะเขามีชั้นหนังสือภาษาไทยด้วยหล่ะ ตอนอยู่ที่เมืองไทยมัวยุ่งกับงาน ดังนั้นจึงไม่ค่อยมีเวลาได้อ่านหนังสือนอกเวลาที่อยากจะอ่านมากนัก ส่วนมากที่อ่านก็เป็นหนังสือเกี่ยวกับการเรียนและวิชาที่ต้องสอนเด็ก ตอนนี้มาอยู่ที่นี่พอมีเวลาว่างบ้าง เนื่องจากตอนเสาร์-อาทิตย์ ไม่ต้องง่วนกับการตรวจการบ้าน ที่คั่งค้างมาจากกลางสัปดาห์ ทำไงได้เพื่ออนาคตของเด็กไทย โม้มากไปแล้วเนอะ กลับมาเดี๋ยวนี้ยายต้มยำกุ้งแห้ง.....
เอาหละ....ไม่มีอะไรมากหรอกแค่อยากจะมาแนะนำหนังสือสักหนึ่งเล่ม ถ้าเพื่อนๆชอบเรื่องราวเล้นลับ ซ่อนหลายเงื่อน จนยากแก่การเดา พร้อมฉากการตายที่สยดสยอง(ไม่รู้ว่าคนแต่งคิดได้ไงเนอะ เราว่าฆ่าตัดหัวก็โหดสุดๆแล้วนะ หรือเอาเนื้อมาทำซาราเปา นี่ก็ทำให้เราเลิกกินซาราเปาไปหลายปีทีเดียว) ที่พูดมามากก็อยากให้ลองอ่านเรื่องนี้ดู อ่านแล้วรับรองวางไม่ลง ไม่เชื่อ...ต้องพิสูจน์ อ้อ...เราไม่ได้ มีส่วนได้ส่วนเสียกับยอดขายหรอกนะ แต่แค่อยากจะบอกว่าเป็นเรื่องที่ดีมาก ผู้แต่งคนนี้เก่งมากๆ เรากำลังคิดว่าจะติดตามอ่านเรื่องอื่นๆของเขาอีกน่ะ ถ้ามีเรื่องใดก็แนะนำมาได้นะ เราชอบอ่านหนังสือ หรือถ้าใจดีส่งมาทางแอร์เมลล์ก็ได้นะ....ล้อเล่นน่ะ ค่าส่งมันแพงกว่าราคาหนังสืออีกแน่ะ เราจะพยายามอ่านเท่าที่มีที่หอสมุดนี่แล้วกันนะ เพราะไม่ต้องจ่ายเงิน แต่ถ้าเลยกำหนดโดยปรับหัวโตเลยแหล่ะ...
เอาหล่ะ...แค่นี้ก่อนนะและจะแนะนำเล่มอื่นๆต่อไป
ขี้เกียจโม้(พิมพ์) แล้วเพราะปวดท้อง...ไปนอนดีกว่า*ต้มยำกุ้ง* (ขณะ นี้เวลา 00.46 น.)

Red Curry-Bamboo shoot(strips)

Hi all,I just cooked my popular dish in this morning,so I would like to recommend my specail dish to you.It's quite easy to make and also good taste.Just try it:-).And please don't forget letting me know after you try it.Ok,let's go!

Red Curry-Bamboo Shoot(strips)*Gang gai Naw mai*
Gang gai is eaten with rice,but I have eaten it with ”kanom jeen” noodle when I was young.I think it’s also delicious.Just try itJ
You can see chiken curry’s popularity when you go to a temple in Thailand;Thai people frequently bring the classic dishes like chinken curry to feed the monks and other temple patrons.

3-4 servings

Ingredients
3 cups water
4-5 sprigs Thai basil
4-5 kaffir lime leaves
3 tablespoons fish sauce
250-300 g bamboo shoot(strips)
2-3 tablespoons red curry paste (It takes time to make it,so I select to buy it from the Asia supermaket,but in Thaialnd I usually make it.)
2 cup coconutmilk(already in the can)
300 g chicken breat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sugar
If you would like it spicy, add more red curry pasteJ .But for me,I prefer a spicy
dish!

Method
· Cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.If you have this dish in Thaialnd,you will see that the chicken comes with bones.All parts such as legs and things can be used.The bone make the curry more flavorfulJ.
· Use high heat and pour vegetable oil in the big pot.Add the red curry paste and stir about 1-2 minutes.Put half of the coconut milk(1 cup) into a big pot,over low to medium low heat.Break up the paste and mix it with coconut milk.Stir constantly.Lower the heat if it splatters too muchJ
· Add chicken when you see red oil bubbling on top.Stir and coat chicken with curry sauce.Add the bamboo shoot when chicken starts to turn white.Add the rest of the coconutmilk(1 cup) and water.Let it boils a couple minute and then add kaffir lime leaves,fish sauce,sugar.
· Let it boils about 5-7 minutes.Add the Thai basil leaves just before you serve and make sure the leaves are submerged.
· Serve hot with rice
* Before you serve,you can taste it if you think that you need more fish sauce or a litte bit sugar,just add it in the pot.*

I dag dro jeg til tempelet for å *Dhamboon*.På tempelet møtte jeg mange snille mennesker som kommer fra forskjellige steder.Noen bor så lang fra Oslo,så de måtte kjøre lang vei.Likevel kom de til tempel for å gjøre gode ting samme med andre.Nå er den sommerferie,så jeg har ganske mye tid til å gjøre hva jeg vil.Men etter at skolen begynner,har jeg ikke mye tid å dra til tempel:(
I morges sto jeg opp klokka åtte for å lage mat.Jeg pleier å lage Thai mat,for jeg kan lage bare Thai mat!Hehehe:-)
For to dager siden leste jeg oppskrift som forteller om sterk mat.Det er veldig interessant,men det står på norsk,så jeg brukte mye tid til å oversette i hodet mitt.Jeg har aldri prøvd å lage norskmat før.Selvfølgelig,hvis jeg laget,la jeg deg vet.
Well,I dag vil jeg fortelle om hvodan jeg laget *Tom Jabchai*

Sommerferien i Bergen!

Denne sommerferien reiste jeg til Bergen for å besøke onkelen til mannen min.Vi har vært der veldig kort tid bare en uke.Denne er første gang reiste jeg til vestlandet.Jeg synes at Bergen har veldig fin natur med små øyer,store fjell,og mange fjorder!Første tre dager har jeg vært bare i byen,og siste tre dager bodde jeg i hytta på lita øya!Det er veldig fint tid for meg.Jeg gikk ut på båten for å fiske,fikk jeg bare en makrell i først dagen.Men etter at jeg fikk mange makreller:-)Oh!En dag fikk vi en kjempestor fisk.Jeg er ikke sikker hva den heter?Men noen sa at den heter langfisk!Jeg synes det er veldig fint navnet fordi den er en veldig lang fisk som jeg aldri har sett før,tror jeg.Det er nesten 1,6 meter lang,og vekten mer 15 kilo.
Well,du kan se mer fra bildene mine,Tom Yum Koong:-)

Wat Thai Norway i Norge!

Hei Hei Tom Yum Koong:-),Takk for din e-post også.Beklager hvis jeg svarer på e-posten din for sent fordi jeg er ganske opptatt.Ingen!Jeg vil bare lese bøkene som jeg har lånt fra biblioteket for flere uker siden.Jeg skal klare dem før de blir levert tilbake!Men de fleste av bøkene er Thai,hehehe!Jeg er glad til å lese Thai bøkene fordi det er mye lettere for å forstå.Likevel liker jeg å lese norskebøkene osgå,men jeg må bruke mye tid hvis jeg leser dem.Av og til jeg er lat til å åpne ordboka.Jeg vet at det ikke er godt:(
I morgen skal jeg dra til Thai tempelet for *Dhamboon* på Wat Thai-Norway.Jeg likte å dra til tempelet da jeg bodde i Thailand også.I Thailand er det lettere å gå til tempelet fordi det ikke ligger så lang fra huset til mora mi.Men her må min mann kjøre bil hjemmefra omtrent en halv time.Jeg kan ikke kjøre bil,men jeg skal prøve etter jeg snakker ganske bra norsk:-)Kunne du undervise hvordan man kjører bil?
Og hvis vil du gjerne lese om Thai-Norway tempel ,kan du lese fra denne siden.Det er veldig interessant,tror jeg.

Flowers out side balcony!

Hi again,these are some flowers which I have planted out side and in side my balcony, and the red rose which I got from my husband's friend when he came to visit us,Tom Yam Koong:-)

Thai vegetables on my balcony!Let's see!

This is the first time I have planted some vegetables on balcony.It's very interesting for looking at them and waiting to pick.Would you like to see what kind of vegetables I have planted.I have planted spearmint ,holy basil and Thai basil which I bought from the Asia Supermarket,and I used the rest of stems for planting,hehehe!!And now you can see how it's amazing.I'm really proud of them coz I don't buy it anymore.I think at it's a good way to save some money for my clothes,right?Just kidding,I have enough clothes now!And I have planted some flowers out side my balcony too,Tom Yum Koong:-)

Utrolige tomatplantene!

Tomat er en grønnsak.Planten er i dag spredt over hele verden,og har en sentral plass i mange kulturers matlaging.Tomatplanten er ettårig og blir fra 0,5 til 1,5 meter lang,med en hårete grønn stengel.

Les mer om tomaten fra : http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomat

Jeg har plantet to tomater for nesten tre måneder siden,men jeg synes at det er utrolig fordi tomatene er høyere enn 1,8 meter.Og forrige uka regnet ut jeg hvor mange tomater jeg har fått.Nå har jeg hatt ti tomater på de kjempestore tomatene mine.Jeg plantet tomatene på min balkong,og nå er de kjempestore.Vil du se hvor store er?Let's go!

Grønnsaker--Opprinnelig

I dag leste jeg Aften avisa om grønnsaker.Jeg synes den er veldig interessant,so jeg skal skrive på bloggen min.Og hvis du ikke leste den,so du kan lese her,Tom yum koong:-)
Tomat:
Kommer opprinnelig fra Sør-Amerika,og kom til Europa med Columbus.
Tomatplanten ble først brukt som prydplante,og det var først på 1800-tallet at tomat ble populær som mat i Italia og andre land rundt Middelhavet.
Så sent som etter første verdenskrig at tomat ble akseptert og vanlig i Nord-Europa.Kalorifattig og rik på A-og C-vitaminer,i tillegg til mineraler.

Agurk:
Kommer opprinnelig fra Indai,der den fortsatt vokser vilt ved foten av Himalaya.
Kom til Norge på 1600-tallet.
Mest vanlig i handelen er salatagurk eller slangeagurk.
Inneholder mye vann,og har lav næringsverdi.
Inneholder likevel noen A- og C-vitaminer,samt kalsium og jern.

Gulrot:
Opprinnelig fra Midtøsten og Sentral-Asia,hvor den har vært dyrket i minst 2000 år.
Den friske,oransje fargen kommer av karoten,som omdannes til vitamin A i organismen vår.
Inneholder en del av andre vitaminer også,foruten kalium og jern.

Rapidsalat:
Krysning av bataviasalat,som er blitt populær i Norge etter at man begynte å dyrke den i drivhus.
Salaten har lange,krøllete blader som er tynne og sprø.
Mild og god i smaken og egner seg spesielt godt til å pynte smørbrød og fat.
Salaten inneholder noe A-,B- og C- vitaminer,samt kalium og kalsium.

Hils fra Tom Yam Kung!

For flere dager siden fikk jeg en e-post fra en mann som bor her.Det er veldig hyggelig å få et hilse brev fra ham.Han hadde flere spørsmål,og jeg prøvde å svare alt,men jeg var ikke helt sikker at han kunne forstå nosken min,så jeg prøvde å forklare i engelsk også.Det måtte være merkelig e-posten fra meg:-)

Jeg er enig med ham at det er aller viktigst at man må lære norsk hvis man bor her.Jeg er glad til å lære norsk også selv om det er ikke lett!Jeg har planer om å ta noen utdannelser her,men snart blir jeg 30 år gammel,så jeg synes først må jeg få et barn :-)
Hva slags yrke har du tenkt deg at du skal ha i fremtiden?Jeg hadde vært matematisk lærer når jeg bodde i hjemlandet mitt,så jeg vil gjeren bil lærer her også.Men først og fremst vil jeg gjerne bli mamma:-).Er det greit?

Var det vanskelig å treffe andre thailendere da du kom til Norge?Først kom jeg til Norge,kjente jeg ikke andre thailendere her,men etter at jeg har gått på norskkurs,møtte jeg flere thailendere.Jeg fikk two snille thaikvinner der også.Det er kjempegøy fordi vi kan prate vårt språk når vi har pause på skole,og av og til kunne vi gå på tur sammen.Det gjøres jeg er ikke ensome.På skolen møter jeg mange nye venner fra andre land også.Selvfølgelig,jeg kjedet meg mye da jeg var hjemme.Jeg måtte være hjem alene fordi min mann må gå på jobben,men etter at jeg fikk mange venner det gjør jeg er bedre.Jeg kan ringe til dem da savner jeg til å snakke om Thai:-)Men jeg liker ikke baksnakker,så vi pleier å snakke om mat,reiser,vårt land,


Nå er klokka 11,skal jeg legge meg snart.Fordi i morgen skal jeg til Thai-Norway tempel.


Ha en fin kveld og sov godt,Tom Yum Kung:-)

ราศีกุมภ์(Aquarius)

ความรัก ราศีกุมภ์
ชาวราศีกุมภ์ บุคคลผู้ซึ่งมีมุมมองที่เปิดกว้าง มีอิสระทางความคิดและจะคอยแนะนำแต่สิ่งดีๆให้เพื่อนและคนรอบข้างเสมอเขามักจะเป็นคนจุดประกายแนวคิดต่างๆ ให้แก่คนอื่นทำให้ชาวกุมภ์เป็นคนกว้างขวาง มีคนรู้จักมากมาย และเป็นคนที่มีเสน่ห์ดึงดูดความสนใจจากผู้อื่นได้ แต่ข้อเสียของเขาคือ ความเจ้าชู้ถ้าใครได้เป็นแฟนกับชาวกุมภ์จะต้องทำใจกับความเจ้าชู้ของเขาให้ได้
ความโรแมนติกแบบราศีกุมภ์ชาวกุมภ์
เป็นคนที่ติดเพื่อนและมีเพื่อนมาก จึงเป็นเรื่องที่เกิดขี้นบ่อยครั้งที่ชาวกุมภ์จะเริ่มประทับใจหรือแอบชอบใครสักคนจากความสนุกสนานเฮฮาในกลุ่มเพื่อนชาวกุมภ์จะเป็นคนที่วางแผนกิจกรรมเพื่อสร้างความสัมพันธ์และความประทับใจที่ดีได้ดีเยี่ยมเพราะชาวคนโฑเป็นคนที่มีความคิดและจินตนาการที่ดี อีกทั้งยังมีอารมณ์ขันอีกด้วย ด้วยความที่เขาเป็นคนช่างคิด เขาจึงมีวิธีที่สร้างความโรแมนติกได้อย่างไม่ยากเย็นแต่บรรดาคู่ควงของเขาควรระมัดระวัง อย่าไปหลงใหลในการกระทำและคำพูดของเขามากนัก เพราะมันอาจจะเป็นเพียงภาพลวงตาก็ได้ คุณไม่มีทางรู้ใจชาวคนโฑได้ เขาจะเก็บความรู้สึกนึกคิดต่างๆ ได้ดี แต่ถึงยังไงชาวกุมภ์ก็ยังเป็นคนรักที่ดี ชอบสร้างบรรยากาศแห่งความรักให้เกิดขึ้นเสมอ แต่เขาอาจจะมีอะไรอยู่ในใจโดยที่ไม่บอกคุณบ้างเท่านั้นเอง
ความรักของราศีกุมภ์
ชาวคนโฑเป็นคนที่มีความสัมพันธ์ที่หลากหลาย แต่ละคนก็จะเหมาะกับความสัมพันธ์ในแบบที่ต่างกันไป แต่จะมีเพียงหนึ่งคนที่จะโชคดีได้คบกันในรูปแบบความสัมพันธ์ที่เป็นตัวของชาวคนโฑเอง ชาวกุมภ์เป็นคนที่รักเพื่อนพ้องและไม่ชอบความแตกแยก ทะเลาะเบาะแว้งกัน เขาจะเป็นตัวประสานความคิดที่แตกต่างกันของเพื่อนๆ ให้ความสำคัญกับเพื่อนเท่าๆกับคนรัก ดังนั้นจะต้องมีช่วงที่เขาจะได้เปลี่ยนอารมณ์ระหว่างคนรักกับเพื่อนบ้างนั่นคือให้เวลาเขาได้อยู่กับตัวเองชาวกุมภ์มักจะลืมนึกถึงตนเองเพราะมัวแต่ห่วงคนอื่นๆ ถ้าเขาได้คนรักที่คอยดูแลห่วงใยในตัวเขามากๆ ก็จะเป็นการดีมากทีเดียว ความสัมพันธ์แบบชาวราศีกุมภ์ ชาวกุมภ์เป็นคนที่ใช้เวลาในการวิเคราะห์ในเรื่องความรักนาน เพราะความรักเป็นสิ่งที่ลึกซึ้งและซับซ้อน เขาจะต้องคิดให้รอบคอบก่อนตัดสินใจทำอะไรลงไป ไม่เร่งรีบกับความรัก ในยามที่มีความรักเขาจะตั้งกฏกติกาต่างๆไว้มากมาย เขาจะทำความตกลงกันไว้อย่างรอบคอบ แต่สิ่งที่จะทำให้ความรักของเขาไปได้ดีคือความใกล้ชิด ความเข้าใจกัน ซึ่งหากไม่มีสิ่งนี้ความรักก็จะสมบูรณ์ไม่ได้
SEX กับราศีกุมภ์
ด้วยความที่ชาวกุมภ์เป็นคนธาตุลม ที่ต้องการความเข้าใจ ความสุขใจ เรื่อง Sexจะเกิดขึ้นเพื่อต้องการความสุขทางใจมากกว่าความสุขทางกาย เขาจะแคร์ความรู้สึกของคนรักของเขามาก ถึงแม้ว่าชาวกุมภ์จะเป็นคนที่มีเพื่อนมาก แต่เมื่อเอ่ยถึงเรื่องส่วนตัวแล้วเขาจะให้เวลากับมันอย่างดี เพราะเขากลัวว่าจะสร้างความไม่พอใจให้กับคนรัก
ชาวกุมภ์กับเรื่อง Sex
ไม่มีอะไรหวือหวา จะเป็นไปตามธรรมชาติ แล้วอะไรหล่ะที่ชาวราศีกุมภ์ต้องการ ชาวกุมภ์เป็นคนที่มีความคิด และมีมุมมองที่กว้างขวาง เขามักจะเชื่อมั่นในความคิดและสิ่งที่เขาตัดสินใจลงไป ดังนั้นคนรักของเขาจึงควรเป็นสิ่งที่สะท้อนให้เห็นถึงความคิดของเขาได้ดีที่สุด ชาวคนโฑต้องการคนที่สามารถพูดคุย ให้คำปรึกษากับเขาได้และพร้อมที่จะเป็นกำลังใจเพื่อให้เขาก้าวไปสู่สิ่งที่ดียิ่งขึ้นไป นอกจากนี้เขาเป็นคนที่ไม่ดูแลตัวเองเอาเสียเลย เพราะฉะนั้นคุณจะต้องดูแลเอาใจใส่เขาให้มากๆ และคุณต้องเป็นคนรักครอบครัวด้วยนั่นคือสิ่งเขาต้องการเพราะจะช่วยประคับประคองให้ชีวิตคู่ยั่งยืน

How do you do and taboo?

• Affection between the sexes should not be displayed in public.No holding hands er kissing!
• Avoid things,people and situations you don't like rather than moan about them or try to hcange them.
• Beckon waiters and servants with hand,palm downwards,fingers straight and waving rapidly.Don't clap,snap fingers or hiss.
• Boasting is disliked,don't compare your country and people favourably with Thailand and the Thais.
• Buddha images should be kept in a high place and treated with great respect.It's against the law to take or send them out of the country except under very specail circumstances.

• Criticism:Avoid it;if absolutely unavoidable,balance with praise and be very indirect.
• Discretion is admired as maturity;if you must do naughty things,do them in private.
• Dress your status.Woman do not wear shorts or revealing clothing.
• Eating habits are flexible.Most people eat with a spoon and use a fork to load it.Salt is replaced by the liquid *Nam Pla*(fish sauce).During ceremonies always eat after the monks.Inviting to eat is an everybody greeting,the normal reply is 'eaten already'.

• Gifts are to be opened in private.
• Hair and heads should not be touched.If you do so by accident,excuse yourself.
• Introductions are less frequent and more meaningful than in the west.Social inferior is addressed first.

• Laundry:If done by a man,don't be surprised if he refuses to wash a woman's underclothes.
• Legs should not be crossed whether sitting on floor or chair in the presence of monks.
• Lists of do and taboo such as this one are far from 100%.Think in terms of culture and situations rather than required and forbidden.

• Monks are the most important people in the country and must be treated with respect at all times.Touching of a monk or his robes by a woman is strictly taboo.
• Names:Use a person's first name,not the family name.Adults should be addressed as 'khun' unless a tittle is used.
• Parties:Dress appropriately;do not wear black unless at funeral.

• Royalty must be treated with the greatest respect;stand up when images of the King or Royal family appear on the cinema screen.
• Shoes come off at the door of the main temple building and at all homes.
• Sit in the place you are directed to.Superiors in front,inferiors at the back.
• Speak gently,do not raise the voice.
• Smile and people will like you.A smile can be used to excuse small inconveniences,to thank for samll services and to return the wai of children and servants.
• Tempers must be kept.
• Thank you,like'please',is expressed verbally much less frequently in Thai;a smile is often enough.
• Throwing any object is bad manners.
• Visiting homes without specific invitation is normal;gifts of fruit,cakes,flowers etc. are appreciated but not necessary.Shoes off unless requested to keep them on.Casual visitors should be invited to drink and,if mealtime,to eat.
• Wai monks,old people and your social superiors.Do not wai servants,labourers and children.The lower the head,the more respect is shown.The inferiors initiates the wai.Whatever the wai received,reply with a lesser one.
• Walk slightly behind monks and old people.

Først la meg fortelle litt om meg selv.Jeg kommer fra Thailand,og nå har jeg vært her nesten et år.Nå forteller jeg litt om naturen og klimaet i hjemlandet mitt.Thailand ligger i Sør-Asia.Thailands naboer er Burma,Laos,Malaysia og Kambodsja.Thailand er et land som er veldig varmt hele året.Det har bare tre årstider;sommer,regntid og vinter,men vinteren er ikke så kald.Jeg er ikke sikker,men jeg tror at det er nesten 20 grader om vinteren.Mens nord i Thailand er det mye kaldere enn i sør.
Om sommeren er det veldig varmt.Temperaturen går opp til mer 40 grader i april.Jeg synes at det er flott hvis man vil bade og sole seg på stranda denne tiden.I regntiden regner det ofte,nesten hver dag,men det regner voldsomt kanskje i to timer før det stopper.Etter regnet er det veldig fint vær med solskinn.
Nå skal jeg fortelle om årstidene.
Sommeren varer fra februar til mai,
regntiden varer fra juni til september,
og vinteren varer fra oktober til januar.
Om naturen i mitt land.I Thailand har vi også veldig fin natur.Vi har store fjell i nord,vest og sør,men nå er det ikke så mye skog igjen fordi meste parten har gått med til husbygging.Likevel kan du finne det i nord Thailand.Hvis du liker å sole deg,bør du reise til sør.Der kan du finne mange vakre strender,men det er best hvis du drar dit om sommeren.Mens hvis du liker naturen og skogen,kan du gå på tur i nord,tror jeg.

Nicknames!

Nicknames are simpler,easier to say,and there are fewer of them.Mest Thais have one and use it for all occasions except the very formal.These names mean things like frog,rat,pig,fat and tiny and are also preceded by Khun.The visitor will soon get used to calling somebody Khun Moo-Miss Pig:-)
The important thing to remember is to use the Khun for all adults,even when speaking English and even when talking about somebody as weel as to somebody.When you become close friends with aThai,the Khun is dropped and ja is usually tagged onto the name-listen and you will pick this up.

We will die without Rice!

Rice holds a very special position in the hierarchy of animals,plants and objects because it is the giver of life both for the individual and the nation.Most Thais continue to work in the rice fields and rice is still one of Thailand's principal exports.
Rice is said to contain a spiritual essence of its own and everybody,from the King down to the humblest peasant,goes to elaborate lengths to keep the rice spirit happy.Planting and harvesting call for special ceremonies.
Rice dropped on the floor is carefully swept up.Some mothers even rebuke their children,if they complain of tummy-ache after overeating,that they are insulting the rice goddess.If the rice goddess is insulted,the rice crop will suffer.As long as the rice goddess is happy,the Thais will eat.So please don't throw your leftover rice down the toilet.

Small talk!

One of the greatest problems constantly facing the visitor to Thailand is the language barrier;he simply cann't talk to the vast majority of Thais.For most foreigners,to learn Thai to any useful level would take a sustained daily effort for one or two years or more and very few have the time.However,if he takes a course in basic Thai for 3-4 months he can at least begin to engage in Thai small talk.(The best basic course is probably to be found at AUA-American University Alumni Association Language Centre.)
In this book we have as far as possible avoided giving transcriptions of Thai words because we know they would be pronounced wrongly,and having crushed a cute little thing's fragile little toes with your massive great feet,' excuse me' in Thai with the wrong pronunciation would do very little to salvage the situation.It's,of course,only good manners and good sense to learn as soon as you can the Thai for the few dozen words that will help you survive.But learn them from a Thai,not from a book:-)

Government's work!

Two blonde guys were working for the city works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the other guy filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing.

So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it. Why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-man team. But today the guy who plants the trees called in sick."

Reasons not to mess with children!

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

*****************************************

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl: replied, "They will in a minute."

******************************************

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white."

*****************************************

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

" Take only one.God is watching! "

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples".

Tekst:Trygve HoffMelodi:Svein Gundersen

***** HAR EN DRØM ****

Har en drøm om å komme hjem

dit ei fremtid ennå bor.

Har en drøm om å finne frem

over ei mørklagt jord.

Snart stiger sol et sted i øst,

og i natt har ingen gitt deg svar.

Refr. :Men det finnes ei fattig trøst:

drømmen du alltid bra!

Et døgn går forbi.

Du lever på lånt og kostbar tid

mens et hjerte slår og dagen går og går.

Har en drøm om å høre til

i en hverdag taus og grå.

Har en drøm om at alt æ vil:

finne en vei å gå.

Snart stiger sol et sted i øst,

alt vil være som det engang var.

Refr. : Men det finnes...

Har en drøm om et anna land

og en lengsel øm og stor.

Har en drøm som er skrift i sand,

skreve med store ord.

Snart stiger sol et sted i øst,

og en verden venter,kald og klar.

Refr.:Men det finnes...
