Riding Through it All ...

Dear Vendy, Watching you screw your life saddens me. It is high time you got to your feet and started doing things without procrastinating, things that are of great priority and importance. Listen, you have a whole life ahead of you! If you keep on lazing around, you will look back one day and sulk in remorse. You know what your goals are! You know the means! Go ahead! Of course, there are some fears lurking somewhere inside you, but you just need to face them since the only way to conquer your fears is to face them! Stay focused! And let the rational part of you comes into play the way it did years back! On the other hand, let your emotional part take the backseat since it has been at wheel for too long, and because of it, your life has been miserable enough! Besides, you need to say "No" with emphasis. It might not be the type of thing you would do, but you just need to do it with skills and styles if you want the best you can possibly expect to get from your life. I will k...

It's Graduation Day for the 17th batch tomorrow at IFL. I cannot believe that it has been one year since I graduated from IFL. Join me to congratulate them all!!! It is a new beginning of another life engery-sucking journey that some of them might, while some others might not, be ready to endure. Stripping off the old status as a student, the fresh graduates have to slip into the work suits, attached to which are so many informal norms and rules which are not taught at school, but which are supposed to be learnt over the course of their daily work lives. It is time they step out of the comfort zone to explore the reality, a harsher side of the reality! They all have my blessings!!!!

Praying and at the same time counting down to the 15th of July!!! I do not feel the slightest fear. I have faith in the premiere. I think we are ready, and united as we are, we can battle to our very last breath, and come out unscathed. This will do us all justice! No more invasion. No more soft talks. Now it is all about tough talks and tough actions. May every sacred thing, near or far, shield us all from fear and terror, and bestow upon each of us the strength to defend our very motherland!

I had an interesting conversation with Thy, Mo and Nory the other day. And i think it is worth sharing! What does it mean when you say you are married to someone? I think marriage is more than just the tying of knots between the bride and the groom. It, in fact, involves the merge between--say--two most incompatible families whose subcultures do not share any common grounds. Adapting yourself to an environment that is so alien to you in almost every way is no child's play, especially for husbands who have to seek shelter under the roof of their parents-in-law. First of all the husbands have to be able to strip off their old "suit" reflective of their homegrown ways of living, and slip into a new one that comes with new expectations and rules and regulations. At this point the parents-in-law could not be any more watchful. With every move they make, the husbands are assessed against the criteria already established in line with what are perceived to be right or wrong by th...

Where am I now? What am I doing? Where am I heading next? What do I want most now? How can I get what I want? Maybe when we are lost in the middle of nowhere, we can refer back to these very simple questions to help us back on the right track .

I read the paper this morning, and I came across this editorial entitled Harry Potter and the Chamber of Khmer Secrets. Well I was immediately drawn to it the moment my both eyes were laid upon its very headline. Though I had never liked reading the Opinion Section in any newspaper, I was more than willing to give it a go. I was very pleased at the sight of J. K. Rowling in the article. I was under the impression that she was going to pay Cambodia a visit or something. But it was before long that I found out that she had donated the rights of translating the second volume of Harry Potter series, the story of a magical saga of a three teenage students, to Cambodia. What an honour! The translated version is expected to play a part in encouraging the Cambodian kids to take up reading as their habit. Since the story takes the reader's hand into the magical world so perfectly brought to life by J. W. Rowling, it is much anticipated that the kids will be mesmerized by all the flying bro...

I do not mean to eavesdrop on people's conversations, but as I am typing this entry now, I happen to overhear this "guy" talking on voice chat to this "girl". I cannot almost believe my ears!!! THE GUY IS SWEET-TALKING THE GIRL INTO ACCEPTING HIM AS A BOYFRIEND! God, this is outrageous! According to the conservation, which somehow sends chill all over my body, they have never seen each other. Nor have they ever contacted each other before. But I think they sound quite experienced with making the appointment and stuff. What has become of the world? These people are totally insane, aren't they? Is it just me or this "phenomenon" has been going on without my knowledge? So this is definitely one of the many misuses of the internet. Oh man!!!
