4 Phrang Again

Now it really happened. Last night my son just went to seeprang.com to see the trailer of the movie. It's his curiosity that did it all.

He saw the trailer of the four short movies. He put up the hand to cover his eyes and at the end he admitted that he was scared. He asked to sleep with me for a night. I knew that he was so scared. Yeb. He couldn't sleep. That made me awake as well.

He promised that he will never ever want to see that movie again.

Jenifer Kim's Concert and 4 Phrang



Last weekend, I got a free ticket for Jenifer Kim Concert. It's been a while that I haven't seen JFK sing. She is an excellent singer. She is a talented. Anyhow, in Thailand, if you are not attractive, it's so hard to become popular even you have a hard-matching quality of your voice.

The concert started at 7:00 PM and end at 11:30. She was an excellent performer. I've never gone to any concert that play this long hour. Anyway, time just passed. We all enjoy it so much. She sang about 40 - 50 songs in medley.

The part that make the concert so enjoyable were the guests. They all are actors, Musicians, and a comedian. The conversation on stage was not scripted. It came out that instance. My friend confirmed that after a few rounds of concert going.

"4 Phrang" is the name of a movie. It's a combination of 4 short films into one. 4 Different stories from 4 different directors. 4 Phrang in Thai means 4-way intersection. The stories are about ghosts of different incidents. I didn't see it really. And why I'm putting it here? It's because my son, Pun Pun. He is at the age where curiosity about ghost play the part. He love to listen to ghost stories and tell friends about it. Is he scare? Surely he is, up his vein.

He has been told by his friends about the stories of the 4 Phrang movie. So he wished to see it. He would be scared of course. But I have never seen his strong ambition like this. He asked me to take him to the movie. He knew that his mom will not allow him to do so. So he asked me instead as he know that I always be his rely on part. He did not like to take swimming lesson, but this time he told me to take him to the theater after his swimming lesson. He even asked if I could take a day off on Monday to take him to the movie.

Of course I didn't take him to the movie. I told him to pick a scary ghost movie we have at home and watch one first. And if he could do it without his eyes close and can stay alone in his bed room, I'll take him to that movie. He pleaded to start watching a ghost cartoon first. If he could watch Billy & Mandy alone from cartoon network channel, he is proved to be brave enough to go the the real ghost movie.

Ban Sansuk








During the last weekend long holiday, my family and I went to Huahin, a beautiful seaside place where we always go. We usually go there 3-4 times a year with length of stay for 4-5 day each time. It's always a family place and we are so familiar with the surrounding and neighborhood. We always stayed at different hotels by the sea or friend's condominium.

My wife and I saw an advertisement about a new condominium project and decided to give it a visit. We talked to the sales girl and become very much interested in buying a unit. We all brought back the information and slept on it discussed with all family. We finally decided to buy a 2-bedroom unit.

The name of the project is "Ban Sansuk", which means the house with thousands of happiness. It has eight buildings. The unit that we decided to buy is on the fifth floor of the eighth building. It has 80 Sq. m. with two bed room and two bath room, plus a kitchen and dining room.

The project will finished in two years. From then on our family will finally own a place for our regular holiday without check-out time.

Forgot to tell you. The cost of that apartment is 7 million bath (225,000 USD). It's so damn expensive , isn't it. Of course we had shopped around looking for the same class living units around Huahin area. This is the most reasonable price condominium with trustworthy management. The property manages by San Siri, a welknown property management group with hundreds of projects around Bangkok and a few in Huahin itself.
