Should have it now or not?

Last night after lobby my aunt to lent me some money and I thought am ready to buy the laptop but my mom called again and ask why should you spend so much money on that thing! And I ask her to clarify that if you don’t want me to buy I will not, but she said she didn’t know I am now mature so should think what is should or should not?

I really feel very very confused, should i have it now or wait a bit longer? I try to ask three friends and two of them knowing clearly my situation and another one is not cos he in Philippine what he said make me more uncomfortable. He said “Whether it worth to have it?” and this is a hard question to answer!

Asking the other two friends, they said if I should wait a few more month in order to find the best one and it will last for long!

As a result I decided to wait another few month and see if I am be able to save money to buy it or not! For my plan I want to buy it after Chinese New Year cos maybe I got some more money at that time!

Saturday and Sunday

On the weekend, I went to study in the morning. The process of teaching is ok! Next week I have present to the class, feel a bit worry cos I never got a good result on presentation. I always afraid!

On the Saturday afternoon, I went to look for notebook with my friend (don’t want to mention the name cos don’t want him to lose credit). I looked for two shops, Anana and PTC. For Anana not so many notebooks available, but for PTC it has a lots! I was interested in Sony but it too expensive (I had a very limited money). I turned to NEC Versa L2100 but still expensive. My friend recommended me to check the price with the other shop. Today I did as he recommend but it turns out that NEC version only available at PTC . Still confused!

Should I buy it now???

Trip to Kampong Speu

On Monday I went to Kampong Speu with Youth Network for Changes (YNC). YNC is a voluntary youth network and working to counteract these trends by facilitating dynamic social development in Cambodia’s poorest regions. The trip was to distribute some gifts for the orphans in orphan center in Kampong Speu province.

The trip is really wonderful, I laugh a lot during the trip. Nara and Pheara are a real DJ. Their act made the people on the bus happy and enjoy, they sang, they talked and they told joke stories.

When we arrived, we got a really warm welcome from the center owner. The place is very organized and the kids were ready.

The organized very good, balloons, backdrop and the kids gather around in order to greet us.

This is the picture of head of the center and his daughter. They are using their salary in order to let the center survives and the vendor in the markets also kind they lent them some foods and supplies for kids and the head of center will pay them back in the end of the month.

Volunteers teachers in the centers!

After finishing pick up all the things needed for the kids and finishing the introduction. Professor Sambo Manara, which is the one of the motivation for YNC, reading the speech in order to open the program.

This is his picture.

After that we choose a group of four or five people taking kids about five to ten kids to gather in different places. When I get a suitable place, I started to introduce them who I am and let them introduce one by one to make sure that they are not afraid me. One man coming to join with me and I forgot to know his name . We start talking to them about general things such as where is Angkor Wat allocated, how should you keep yourself clean somethings like that. Really regret that I cannot think of a lot of things to teach them but next time I promise to gather all the information needed to talk to them. Oh! I really appreciate those kids, they quiet smart and honest (maybe the head of the center provided them a lot of good care).

This is the kids in my group. They look smart, don’t they?

Then we went back to the same place with all of the kids. We sang songs together and after the song Professor started to ask them some questions and gave them gifts (book, pen, pencil, sweets….)

Next, two group of kids come to show us the Khmer dance Robam Kus Tralork and Robam Chun Por. Another group of kids showing the comedian to us. They performed a good show, it’s really interested.

Robam Chun Por

Comedian Team!

When finish all the performance, we leaved them and continue to Kirirom Resort in order to have lunch there. After lunch I took some walks with a group of friends (neak na mean ku ke tov teang ku ta khom ort mean ku te cheng teal ta tov teang group). After walk, I went back and playing card with Bong Virak, Bong Tyta and his wife Bong Mono, Bong Phina, Pu Saren, Nara. Even I didn’t win but I feel happy.

Then we went back to PP, really really tired but still Nara and Pheara tried to perform their roles by making all of us happy until we arrived PP.

It’s quite a long post, but to sum up I got a happy time and feel really good. It was a small thing that I provide to the kids but still I did something really good and hope one day YNC will change the situation of our countries become better. You done a good job guys!

Work and study!

My work and my study are going together but I’m not sure that if they going smoothly or not. Cos I am too busy with my work and now I studied for two schools at the same time . Well, at NUM is not a big problem but at UC it will be very tough for me cos I really poor in the IR not like the other friends!

However, in the new term at UC three of the subject were chosen and I think it will not make me difficult like last term te mel tov, because I think I really like to study those subjects: Labor Law, American Politics and Public Policy.

Oh, also the teachers are all great cos they are great!

Sad day

Yesterday, I don’t know why I feel really really bad. When I get up, I can’t start my motor and then I brought to the mechanic to fix it for me but he fix the other motor which just come. I wait and wait until I cannot wait anymore. I decided to go by motor taxi since I really hurry for preparing the meeting. After the meeting I did my work as usual but I don’t know why I feel really upset I don’t want to talk or smile I just want to stay calm and do nothing.

Take leave

It been a while that I didn’t touch my blog. I very busy with the my work, I just moved to a new office (nearer to my house ). Therefore, there were many things to get into order again. To this new office I also lost some documents too, I will be blamed.

Today is Friday and it nearly Pchum Ben, I have to go hometown on this Sunday. So I will not get any chance to touch my blog again. I will write more after back from my hometown. OK, good bye!

Imperfections

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

Note: This is a story that I get from my friends.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”

The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?”
“That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.”

“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.”

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

And send this to any or all of your CrackPot friends within 5 minutes and see what happens! Don’t forget the CrackPot that sent it to you!

This story makes me feel much better but I am not sure whether there was a seed of flowers at my side or not. How about you?

A Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water! She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Many years later, that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words… “Paid in full with one glass of milk” (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands.”

There’s a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place

Note: I got this from my friend.

A beautiful love story

From the very beginning, girl’s family objected strongly on her dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: “How deep is your love for me?”

As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the gal often vents her anger on him. As for him.. he only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal: “I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I’ll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?”

The girl agreed, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged.

The gal went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum cry, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She had lost her voice….

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silent cry. it’s still just silent cry that
accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply and countless phone calls. all the gal could do besides crying is still crying…. The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the gal learnt sign language & started a new life.

Telling herself everyday that she must forget theguy. One day, her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The gal was shattered. When she opened the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what was going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her….

He used sign language to tell her, “I’ve spent a year to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I’ve not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.” With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The gal finally smiled……

Treat every relationship as if it’s the last one, then you’ll know how to Give.

Treat every moment as if it’s the last day, then you’ll know how to Treasure.

Treasure what you have right now, or else you may regret one day…

I am thinking whether there is a man that love me like this or not!
