Koeti Aramboy in Norway





Yesterday my momma and I had tickets for a show with some hot-shot Thai comedians currently touring in Europe. 

But first we stopped by my friend Nampueng's house for some delicious kiew tiew - noodle soup.







My mom is a fan of one of the comedians, Koeti.

I was mostly there as company - my Thai is not that good and updated that I'm able to enjoy all of the (bad) jokes.

Besides, I felt most of my job was to serve as a body guard for my yittle momma, and protect her from all of the drunk and stupid people stumbling around and spilling their tequila shots, not being able to get it in their drunken mouths.

Ugh, annoying drunk people are annoying no matter the nationality.




As soon as the show started twenty people crammed in the area in front of the stage, everyone with their stupid smart phone. I hate smart phones. They make you look stupid.

Everyone were so preoccupied with making sure to get a video of the performances on their phones, they weren't really paying attention to the performance itself. What is the point? You go to a show, videotape it without paying attention and enjoying the moment, just to have a video of the ordeal so that you can brag to your friends afterwards?

.. 

BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE, AS YOU CAN SEE I TOOK PHOTOS AS WELL.

But in my defense, I didn't really care about the performances. And I didn't shove my gear in anyones faces.



I got the vibe that this guy was
probably popular in the eighties
or something,
still trying to milk it for its worth,
flashing his veneers,
and taking his shirt off at any 
opportunity.

(My mom is so going to send me
a text message demanding me
to delete this photo)




The (Thai) party ain't over
until the ugly ladyboy
"sings"

Celebrating on New Year's Eve 2011

Wearing the necklace
I got from the party game
at Anette's


New year's eve I spent with a few close friends at Dag's house.


Making
Waldorf salad..

.. to go with the turkey!

Yum!

Vidar's best friend,
Jakob



My good friend,
Dag

Then "Japaner'n" arrived
- Asaki


Asaki has spent several months
working on a Japanese guide book on Scandinavian big cities,
doing research for the part about Oslo,
and could finally show off the fruits
of her labor; Dag even contributed with
a few photos for the book


Wictoria showing how Norwegians
are crazy about barbecuing in the parks
in the summer


*Sigh* I know some of the next photos will cause my mom to worry, since she herself does not consume alcohol and insist that it doesn't take more than just smelling a glass of alcohol-containing beverage to get you drunk and stupid.


I'm a very responsible drinker, ma!









Hei, mamma!





Hei, mamma!




And for desert:
chocolate fondant with 
vanilla ice cream
and berries!










A few minutes before midnight we went up on the roof:


Japaner'n was given something sparking with fire,
so she was kept entertained for a several minutes



.. who am I kidding,
we were all kept entertained for several minutes








After welcoming the new year we went back in and drank even more responsibly.









And then Vidar and I walked hand-in-hand for one hour in the snow and got home by 4 am.


Happy New Year!
