Mistake a twin brother!

This morning at around 7:30 am, before coming to the office, I went to have breakfast at Mlub Mean near MoE. Just as I entered the restaurant, I saw a person who I knew in Thailand while I was studying at AIT. I was a bit surprise to see him there since I usually there for breakfast but never saw him before. I greeted him and asked him questions as people who never met for long. Then he asked me where we met and he told me he could not remember where and when we met. I stayed still for a while and recalled my memory. I told and explained him that we met at AIT, I am a friend of his friend named Sophal. I further explained that he was studying at Nyda that time and he often visited Phal at AIT. I thought my explanation was clear enough to recall his memory but he still could not recognized me. So what was the problem? Actually, I mistake him with his older twin brother! Oh, what a shame! They take each other’s apparent. When I realized that he’s the twin brother of the one I know, I looked at his face several times to reassure my eyes but still my eyes cannot tell the different between the two. My friend, Phal used to tell me once that his twin friend used to be mistaken by many. Haha, so m not the only one!

To Leave home, friends,…very soon!

It has always been my top academic goal that I have to win Fulbright scholarship to pursue my PhD in the U.S. It was confirmed that I have reach this goal which should make me delighted instead of being sad. I feel very sad knowing that I have to leave for the US next month. I feel I dont want to leave my family and best friends at this soonest. Dearests, I will miss you all very much indeed.

Pre departure orientation for Fulbright 2008!

There will be a pre-departure orientation at the US embassy in PP on June 12, 2008. All fulbrighters of 2008 and their parents are invited to the event.

I had been always very proud of people who won Fulbright scholarship which considered as a prestige scholarship in the world . However, when I myself won this scholarship, I dont feel proud of myself at all. I have doubt about my feeling. ???

Sleepless Sunday night!

Monday is often a hard day for me to get up to work due to sleepless night on Sunday. No matter how tired i felt after washing a huge pile of worn clothes during the day time, I still could not sleep on that night.

Happy Life

Every one wish to live their life happily. However, not every one could achieve this goal. There are a number of reasons for this…

Unproductive Day!

Since coming back from Thailand, I seem dont have feeling at work. I have not produced any remarkable input to my work since then.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ‘”SOMEONE U LOVE’” AND ‘”SOMEONE U LIKE’”

In front of the person u love, ur heart beats faster.
But in front of the person u like, u get happy.

In front of a person u love, winter seems like a spring.
But in front of a person u like, winter is just a beautiful winter.

If u looks into the eyes of the one u love, u blushes.
But if u look into the eyes of the one u like, u smile.

In front of a person u love, u can’t say anything on ur mind.
But in front of a person u like, u can.

In front of the one u love, u tends to get shy.
But in front of the one u like, u can show ur own self.

U can’t look straight into the eyes of the one u love.
But u can always smile into the eyes of the one u like.

When the one u love is crying, u cry with him/her
But when the one u like is crying, u end up comforting him/her

The feeling of love starts from the eye.
But the feeling of liking starts from the ear.

So if u stop liking a person u used to like, all u
need to do is close ur ears.

But if u tries to close ur eyes, love turns into a drop
of tear & remains in ur heart forever…….

Trip to Bangkok 22-25May

It was an enjoyful hard trip. It was a very short trip that made me so busy and did not have enough time to relax. I lost one night sleep on return day to Cambodia.

I left Phnom Penh on 22nd May at 6am by taxi. I arrived BB, my hometown at around 11am. After having a wonderful lunch at home, i continue my journey to Poipet with my dad. After a 2hour and half long travel, i reach Poipet at around 2pm, the Cambodia-Thai border where number of casinos can be seen on the side walk across the border. After having been through a boring complicated passport control esp. at Thai check point, I finally catch a 5hour van which took me to DD house, a guess house in Pratunam area which is popular for Khmer people who visit Thailand. It was about 7pm when I arrived at the guess house. It was time for dinner already and my stomach started crying for food. So, after a quick shower, i got my self a ready made food which sold by street vendors in the Pratunam block. It was a tired long traveling day which made me felt a sleep easily after having sticky rice with salt-grill fish.:)

The second day started by taking my dad to Phyathai 2 hospital which situated close to Victory monument. I spent the whole morning in the hospital waiting for blood test result and consultation with a hormone-specialized doctor. It was about 13:00 when i left the hospital heading MBK where I met Vuthy, my old friend who was coming to visit Thailand from Singapore. We then spent the whole afternoon shopping at Tokyu till evening when I met Phal, my very old friend from my childhood, who finish his work from UN at 6pm for dinner. The day was not yet end. It was a very long day. After having dinner (MK-i really miss it) with Phal, Vuthy, Piseth and my dad, we went to Century plaza at Victory BTS station to wait for Davoan and Phana so that we can go to AIT to joint a party with new students together. It was about 9pm that we could at last reach our destination by van. Not long after we arrived AIT, every one was hurry to go to Korean house where the party was held. We were in the middle of the event when people were introducing themselves. We old guys (AIT alumni) also had a chance to say something about our work experience as well! The party continued with games. I was lucky enough to win a game so called gesture guessing. Another important activity that i joint was dancing. Madison was my favorite one. Though i was so exhausted i cannot stop my self from dancing when music played until i cant no longer stand at around 2am of the third day. Still, i could not go to sleep straight away coz i have another important thing to think about. Few of us at SV 60 tried to figure out the place to go for the third day. Yet, 1hous talk cannot get us to the conclusion, it seems every one was too tired to think. So, the thing we could do was getting ourselves something to eat at 108 shop. The last activity was going to bed…

The third day started so late due to late wake up. ..I forgot what time i got up already -i just remember that i was so hungry went i woke up. We went to have breakfast at PhO. May be because we were very late that PhO was sold out so what i had for breakfast on that day was one banana with green tea. Since last night that we could not figure out where to go, so we continue our discussion and at last we decide to go to Siam Park. It was almost 12pm when the decision was made. While waiting for the van to pick up at the bus station, Borort and I seized the chance to take some picture at AIT entrance. Siam Park was not so far away from AIT. So we arrived there at aournd 1pm. What is Siam Park? If you know dream world, Siam Park is more or less similar. There are crazy, dangerous, and …games to play. I was not dare enough to play the crazy dangerous games. I started with…(i cant remember) and finish with Tangoda disco game (I remember very well coz i had a bump on my elbow). There were 5 of us including Davoan, Borort, A Lang, A Phea and myself play this Tangoda game together. Every one got bumped, Borrot got a serious injured on his elbow; it was almost bleeding. I was also the one who contributed to his injury coz i hold his arm tightly that it cant move which make the bumping area became serious. That was the last game that every one remember the most since every one got hit and pain every part of the body esp. poor Borort:(

Siam Park closed at 6pm when our team split into two groups; one went to AIT and another to Bayok. Davoan, Borort, Bunrith, Lang, my dad and myself were in the second group went to Bayok sky to have buffet dinner at 82 floor and to have sight seeing of BKK night from 83 floor. There were variety of dishes ranging from Asian as Chinese, Thai, Japanese to Western food as well as sea food. Every one look happy when they see the diversified dishes display on buffet table. We serve ourself one dish after another till our stomach say “No More Please!”..Bunrith’s stomach was strong enough to handle 10 lobsters with other main dishes. If i remember correctly we spent more than an hour having buffet there. Fortunately, we could still walk up to 83 floor to view BKK at night. From that top floor we could see some lights were moving which were the light of car’s eyes.
