Amazement and Dumbfound

What can I say? The entire country (Thailand) is flooded. I am as superstiteous as the next guy? There ain’t no way the entire country would have got flooded unless something caused it. What are the people are saying? You go first and I will give you what I heard.

Bor Leum

Forget is leum in Lao. Boh in Lao means don’t. It also means no when responding to a yes and a no question. Bor Leum Viengchanh (Vientiane) is the name of the song. I’ve been searching on-line up and down; high and low for a baby that can sing songs that I love and Bor Leum Viengchanh is one of them. I heard so many versions of this song. It is so uplifting to find this baby. She got it. She is singing Bor Leum Viengchanh. She sings it so beautifully. This got to be the work of heaven above. I learn the Lao language since I was little, I notice how she annunciate everyword so carefully. I always say it helps to know the spelling.

If you want to learn Lao, learn this song. Listen to it daily and imitate it.

Lao Runner

I am a Lao Runner. I run. I love to run for health and fitness. As much as I love to run I have not been doing enough of it. Busy busy working. But I try to run as often as I can. I did run 5 miles Sunday. Today, I ran 2.5 miles. Furthermore, since I am trying to promote running in the Lao community, I am coining the term Lao Runner. Hopefully, the Lao and the Runner will attract Lao runners out there. Would it be nice to meet people who say “I’m a runner too”?

Tee Fung Xe Kong – Sootjai Phouheuanghong

Sootjai Phouheuanghong. Soot jai sang this song very well. I love how she proceed with caution keeping up with the beat. This song is so meaning to me. I am not sure why. I think it is because it has to do with a place unknown to me. I have visit Pakse and Champasack province once but did not venture as far as Attabeu or Xekong. Southern Laos is bordered by Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Love this song so much. Have not seen her singing yet, just her voice here.

Ti Fung Xekong Holiday

It was a nice winter break. We had white Christmas in Georgia. Our winter break led us into the new year with friends and family, food and fun.

Here is a song I love so much. I tried to sing it on Microsoft Movie Maker with music on the background as a guide.

Lao Song, Really?

amphone — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:34:33 +0000

“Listen. Listen. Did you hear that?” One man said. “Hear what?” Said another. “Lao music.” One man answered.

This is odd. I just found out that people in my life don’t like the same type of music I do. I would get into my songs. I would sing it too or try to sing them. I think I just have been hanging around those who aren’t like me.

My all time favorite here by Kanethong. Love the relics and the meaning.

Does anyone like this song? Like it enough to sing it too.. by heart.

Khoi mak-I like

We borrowed a car to the store last weekend. It’s a Honda something. I didn’t get the model. It’s a great ride overall. Very comfortable. I feel like I was in the cockpit of a spacecraft.

A song at the Bus Stop

amphone — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:18:35 +0000

Another song I love to dance to. “Sao se’ koy thung tha aii mah mhun mhaiy,” the young lady said. She said she’s been waiting. This young lady flows like water with the rhythm of Basalop, was it? Or was it bus stop? It’s something like that. Community dancing can not be complete without the Bu salop. Of course the singing is excellent!
