    Facts about me

     
    There's no one on earth knows you better than yourself. Tonight I couldn't sleep again because I took a nap after coming from company orientation this evening.
     
    Since my life has completely changed here in Xi'an so I have had pretty much time to write my blog more frequently when I don't have to go out for party. ประหลาดใจ Let's write my blog!!
     
    I should write something to let my blog readers know better about myself like I do (well, even you don't want to know or the numbers of my reader are dropping, I will still keep writing.. haha) This entry is like my personal CV and summarization. I really like to write my blog in a list now.
     
    • My real Thai name "Chaiwat" means "develop with victory"
    • My family name "Khattiwong" means "a family that comes from a royal blood line" (well, it's just a meaning, but I guessed my great great great granny was probably a lady-in-waiting for Lanna King or queen when Chiang Mai still belonged to the Kingdom of Lanna a few hundred years ago) แลบลิ้น
    • My Thai nick name "Jook". It was traiditional name for Thai hair cutting style for Children like this photo  but I never had this hair style cutting when I was young indeed! (Or I should ask my mom I never had once?)
    • I left home for boarding temple school in Bangkok since I was 12 and I had problem speaking Thai in the beginning.
    • My native language is Lanna (Chiang Mai dialect) which has its own writing. Now only my father can write it in the family. It's pity that Lanna writing is a forgotten language now though we have more than 700 years of history.
    • I chose Faculty of Education when I had to do the entrance examination just because lots of my friends chose it. When I passed it, I didn't really want to go for it at the first place.
    • I graduated from high school when I was only 17 and university when I was 21 (very early for the person at my age)
    • My first hotel job was actually a bell boy in President Hotel in Chiang Mai when I was 17 and a freshman of university (the same year that moved out into university in Chiang Mai city, I got a job during summer vacation)
    • I was a waiter in a restaurant and assistant for a cook in a disco for 2 years altogether.
    • I was a bartender in a pub & bar before I would graduate. Actually, the bar owner would want to support me to further my education in master degree (just to work for him and help him run a business in exchange) but I delclined the offer. I felt sick of working in the service industry for 4 years that time. My dream job was to work in the office or in a company.
    • However, I realized since I started working while I was a student that it made me more disciplined and have management skill since then.
    • I was a translator, legal officer, and even sales in a real estate project
    • When I had to work in a resort again in Samui finally. I felt that my personality and liking would suit service and hospitality industry the best. So now I am back to service industry again.
    • I learned French & Japanese at high school before these 2 languages I have completely forgotten it. I can't even remember the alphabet.
    • I could speak and write German 5 years ago. Now I can't speak it at all (some writing I can still understand)
    • My first Chinese lesson was from a highschool classmate using Taiwanese book with traditional writing. I can still remember some of what the book said in the beginning of the book.
