How I Meet My True Love

How I Meet My True Love

邱宝菁 I am 林炳龍 5很20 1314920 OOO

Since ever before, I always avoid a puppy love or short-term relationship. I don’t get into a relationship if my heart doesn’t tell she’s the one. Sprit up hurt either one or both, it is not good. Especially Cambodian culture that girl will be affected the worst.

My avoiding and was too serious before involving in a relationship, kept me single for so many years but it worth it. Now I found my soul mate, the right one! How do I know she’s the one? She is my best friend who I always have fun and enjoy when I’m with her. She is my sibling who is loyal to me, take care and protect me always. She is my spouse who gives me happiness, wonderful life and one own family. She is my teacher who I can learn from, and she’s my student who listens and learn from me. Her name is Khou Ching (邱宝菁).

In 2006, my aunt Jen told my mom and I about Ching and her very kind mother. She also told Ching’s mom about my very nice mother and me. One day Jen went to visit Ching’s mother and dragged me along. A few days later, Jen told my mom that Ching’s mother was interested in me but as her grandmother was very sick, they did not want to think about anything else. Since then everyone seemed forget about us, even Ching and I never even given it a thought.

December 2009, I was working in my office then my aunt Jen walked in together with Ching’s mother and her elder aunt. I did not remember or recognize her at all because it had been three years already. They pretended to be my customers, but I felt something connected. I felt warm and as if she was one of my relatives. We had a nice chit-chat more than customer and seller.

January 2010, at late night when I got home after school, mom told me to see her after dinner. I felt normal because I often talk with mom after my dinner alone. Got into her room, she told me the ladies Jen went to my office the other day were Ching’s mother and her elder aunt. Mom said Jen told her that they liked me….. while talking she handed me an envelope. These are the photos of the daughter, she explained. Looking at those photos for awhile I smiled at my mom and said “Maybe…!“ but I actually quite like her Chinese face already.

A few weeks later, my mom told me that my dad and she had saw Ching already and they liked her too. “Your dad rarely likes anybody easily“ she added.

February 01, 2010 I went to see Ching with my mom and Jen, but we pretended to be her customers. She was in her counter, I looked at her and she smiled while I already had been smiling at her. On the next day, my mom gave me Ching’s number but it took me until….

February 03, 2010 at 09:29pm I sent her a SMS and she replied at 09:33pm. That was our first awkward SMSs sent to each other. Since then, we started to talk to each other via SMSs, Yahoo IM, facebook and email. What made us attracted to each other was our honesty and being serious before involve in a relationship. That was what in common we first found in each other. We have the same value which is “I need you to love me for who I am, not who I can be“. As for this value, every single conversation we make, we always tell the truth about us, be honest and be who we really are.

February 14, 2010 was Chinese New Year, at the same time it was the Valentine’s day as well. It took me days to be brave enough to ask her out on a first date, because it was the perfect combination of two occasions. It gave her a hard time to reject my invitation because we just know each other but she did not want to upset me. Moreover, she already had a plan with her family members and friends to go to KTV at Naga World. Eventually, she asked if I would like to join. I do not like KTV and I felt uncomfortable to meet many new people at once. However, I did not want to miss the perfect combination of two occasions, so I accepted her invitation, and I did break the ice.

After that day, we went on many enjoyable and great dates. We learn a lot about each other, and know more about each other. I told myself that I like her, then I changed my facebook status to “In a Relationship“

April 14, 2010 it was Khmer New Year. We had a very wonderful date, we went to many places and did many activities together…… had so much fun like secondary school kids. In the evening, I took her to dinner at TITANIC Restaurant and I gave her some gifts included a scroll which I wrote a message for her. In the message i said “You are my sun at day, and you are my moon at night. I Love You. PS: sun and moon always exist!“ I wished she read it right after I gave it to her so that I can say the three words verbally, but she didn’t. However, she knew what the message was about.

April 19, 2010 I received a wonderful facebook message from her. It was a very long message but I never got lazy to read it over again and again. In the message she said “I Love You too“ with many reasons and explanations. Her facebook status then had been changed from “Single” to “In a Relationship“

May 13, 2010 was our “Official Date“ we had dinner at Sky Bar at The Place. It was our first romantic date. After dinner, we walked from one park to another park, watched a Khmer Rock Band concert The Dengue Fever. That was the first time I hold her hand and we got to HHWW (holding hands while walking).

Since then, we always have romantic dates and many of them. There was once, after a movie we holding hands while walking for one and half hour without feeling tired, though one of my boots had been detached.

When you meet the right person who is your soul mate, no matter how slow you try to make it but it just move fast itself. Our hearts tell us we are mean to be together. We love each other for real.

July 06, 2010 after lunch we were sitting in a couch, I then stood up in front of her and knelt down. One hand I held her hand, another hand I put in my pocket and took out a red box in a heart shape and there was a ring in side. I popped the question! She did not reject but said it was too early for us and she preferred the ring represents our love instead and requested to wait until 11/11/2011.

I understood and we did not want to get married too early either, but because I consider our parents are old and they have many responsibilities for us to take over. That was why I decided to propose her. Plus, I wanted to make her happy and to have that special moment. Girls always expect to have a romantic moment, sweet memories and to have her boyfriend’s proposal that is the most desire they wish for before get married. Therefore, there I did so. Today, the ring is still on her left ring finger!

Our families, our current and future responsibilities and considering the time, plus we truly love each other. 11/11/2011 plan has become an old plan.

September 19, 2010 was our engagement. In the morning, we had our relatives come together introducing them to the new couple officially. Then we had them had lunch at Tunlé Basak Buffet restaurant. After that, we had photo session that was our Engagement Photos. Those photos turn out very nice in quality, meaning and story. Thank to our friend Vantha THAI (Jerry) and Hii Wie Jung for taking such great pictures for us.

I am lucky to have my parents who always understand, warm, they give me a comfortable life, happiness, and love. My sister and brother in law are thoughtful, kind and helpful people. Now I have my parents in law who are thoughtful, nice, kind, warm and love me. My sister in law and her hubby also are well-educated people who are understanding, care and helpful.

It is very fortunate to meet your soul mate, and the families in law members are good people and love you and they get along very well together like best friends.

This is rare but real! I am so lucky!

January 02, 2011 will be our wedding, here I announce. We are working on our wedding theme and scheme.........

e-Learning on KM by APO

TUESDAY 09 to FRIDAY 12 MARCH, 2010

There are reasons that motivate me in joining Eurotech company.

Mainly, because it is the only drinking water in Cambodia that is recognized and certified by several standards that include, ISO 9001:2008, UK Quality Control, and Cambodia Water Standard. Moreover, the company integrates some other standards management system such as "5S, KAIZEN" and GMP.

Another reason, is that the company has been selected by certain productivity improvement organizations, so that they have a lot of training available for their staff. Those trainings usually conducted in various Asian countries.

Besides those professional motivations, i also have some personal objectives. I changed my job and join EUROTECH because i wish to be more dependent and further my career adventures.

These photos below are the e-learning course on Knowledge Management conducted at CJCC organized by Asian Productivity Organization (APO) on 09th-12th March 2010.
It was a great training. Not only the course is useful to apply at our organization to improve the productivity and growth, but it was an interacting class with 5 other classes in Iran, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Moreover, the resource speakers were online from Singapore, Phillipe, and Japan.

Statistic Class

SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 2010

In my MBA program, we occasionally have a course taught by a foreign lecturer who comes from France or elsewhere for one week and teaches us every single day for the whole week including Sunday for 3 hours to 5 hours per day. The courses are known as mission classes.

From 06th to 13th of March, we have a mission class of Statistic course, the lecturer is Vietnamese from Vietnam. The course is very complicated and i learned nothing from the class. Worse than that, during the class week, i had to attended an e-learning course organized by APO from 09th to 12th of March. I totally enjoyed and learned a lot from the e-learning course, but i will have a big problem for Statistic exam.

Now you can see what was on the board in my Statistic class. it's crazy, isn't it? Usually in such class students will do things such........


Old school games! Look at the our classmates..... haha sometimes stuck on their backs.


I enjoyed working on my MacBook with a cup of coffee..... which i already finished haha


When i have time, next post i will blog about the e-learning course. It was a great training to attend. Not only the course is useful to apply at our organization to improve the productivity and growth, but it was an interacting class with 5 other classes in Iran, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Moreover, the resource speakers were online from Singapore, Phillipe, and Japan.

Of course, i have some photos :-) as always!

Press Conference of MotorCross 2010

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2010

Today I attended a Press Conference of Total MotorCross 2010 at Total Olympic Station in the afternoon, which the actual race will be held on 27th February this Saturday.

The racers are from various country internationally, including Cambodia.

I used to do a lot of presentation, cultural-dance performances and even fashion show. But those were in classes and school events. This is my first time to give a speech in public that there were many audiences, TV reporters and journalists. I was pretty nervous before then, but once i got to sit on the stage, everything become way normal. However, i'm not satisfied with my speech. I did not do a good job enough :-(-:

Organization Transformation and Leadership of PPWSA

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2010

This morning I have attended a valuable seminar at CJCC from 08:30am-11:30am. The seminar was on Organization Transformation and Leadership: The case of Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority Transformation and Achievement. Conducted by H.E. Ek Sonn Chan the General Director of PPWSA.

I’ve never known H.E. Sonn Chan before, but attending the seminar this morning makes me like him a lot and proud of him. He is a remarkable person who has put a lot of his effort and commitment to achieved such impressive goal of his, to provide clean water to everyone in the city. He has shared his successful experiences of leadership and how to meet our goals.

What he showed during the seminar was transparency and very useful for young people and potential leaders.

I have attended seminars and trainings at CJCC for many times and never regret the time I have spent there. I’m thankful for CJCC the Japan organization who has been helpful in developing the Cambodian Human Resources.

This picture below is my friend Jerry was in a café with me. He is good at IT and gadgets. He has mobile internet which is very fast, it's 3G. In the pic there are his and my gadgets put together on table and with his stuffs we both can use the internet for free and very fast.

I made a big move, change of 2010

SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 2010

There are a several items in my 2010 resolution. One of them is a big move which will change my life adventure. It will affect my daily routine also. I will have to get up at a different time, places where i have my lunch, i might not have time for gym anymore :-( . Most of all, i will do a different professional skills too.

The big move i have made is my job. I have resigned from my job which will be effective from 01st February 2010.
It is quite a good timing, since i have tone of school assignments and exams coming up every week. So that now i have time for my study and relax. Too bad that it's not a school holiday or school break yet, otherwise i would love to take a couple weeks vacation which i have never had before since my employment.

This picture was took yesterday evening, my last day at work.......... i'm glad that i have this picture taken. It's funny to see myself carrying a box of my stuffs walking out of my office.

It has been for 10 years that i have worked for my nice, kind and understanding bosses. I started to work for the company as a Junior staff with a standard basic salary, and have become a Sales Manager because of my self-development and the good eyes of the company that can see my improvement and efforts.
I admit that the company has its justice and standardizing management and policies, with a lot of potential opportunities for every employee.

Nevertheless, now that i wish to go on an adventure and thrill. I will also move out from my current house. In next 6 months i will change my car. I love to own a motorbike, it could be SL, RX or whatever of those guy thing, but at the moment i could not persuade my mom enough to allow me to ride a motorbike. She doesn't like it if i ride a motorbike or a motor, because she's worried it's not as safe as driving a car. Hmmmm if i will need to change for a new car, it would take me more than 6 months then.......... we'll see :-)

By the way, i'm now free from work though still having classes every evening and exams even during the Chinese New Year, i will be available and welcome for any group assignment and study.
Hello my dear classmates, count me in for those student works. Let's start with Legal Issue presentation, then Operation Management exam, and then Accounting final exam, and Business Ethic mini thesis, and.........and....... Gee! it doesn't sound i'm having a break at all T_T

Men and Women

I just got this from facebook friend. It is funny but all true.

Smart man + smart woman = Romance

Smart man + dumb woman = Pregnancy

Dumb man + smart woman = Affair

Dumb man + dumb woman = Marriage


Smart boss + smart employee = Profit

Smart boss + dumb employee = Production

Dumb boss + smart employee = Promotion

Dumb boss + dumb employee = Overtime


A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need.

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.


A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.


To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot & not try to understand her at all.


Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.


Any married man should forget his mistakes, there’s no use in two people remembering the same thing.


Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, and she does.


A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.


There are 2 times when a man doesn’t understand a woman – before marriage and after marriage.

The Last Random 2009 and The Beginning of 2010

DECEMBER 2009 - JANUARY 2010

I have not been active for my blog pretty long, because have been busy with school and also lazy too....... another reason is that, everyone has facebook and i am active there. Sharing stuffs and photos........ so it's kinda holding me back from blogging (^_^)

Alright, on this post i gotta update a few things at once hehe.

Life over the year 2009 was not bad, a lot of fun and love people gave to me who are my family, friends and relatives. However, life is just like a roller coaster. Sometimes up sometimes down, but roller coaster is fun and exciting, isn't? I remember this words, Suzan gave me as an encouragement.

I did not get to celebrate or countdown for the New Year's Eve, however i did have some fun.
A party gathering with my MBA classmate at SeaFood Restaurant and continued to KTV.
Went to a countryside and enjoyed a lot of country life and activities.
Attended Jacky's wedding who is my good friend since first year at the university, he got married to one of my nieces who we have never met. I know it's funny, but what was funnier than that, my dad was invited to the wedding by the bridge's parents and i was invited by the groom. We did not know that we were going to the same wedding, until we individually got there then we realized it was the same wedding and the bridge was our relative.

In this photo: Chantha, Gina, Spencer, Jenny, and the groom and bridge.

My sister, her husband and the two girls in France having an awesome holiday during the Christmas and New Year's Eve. They went there last year in summer and again at the end 2009 and beginning of 2010. That was way cool!

The countryside one hour drive from Phnom Penh. It was thankful to Savory my classmate who invited us to her hometown. I had a great time!!!
































The last picture, our classmates' party just after we had an awful Accounting Midterm exam........phew!
