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!

Advance and Actual Birthday Celebration

WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY, 14 & 17 OCTOBER, 2009

On Wednesday 14th, Rath and I went to visit Gina at her office (our university) after work. We then went to Sky Bar(The Place).

We had a great time there. We enjoyed the company of ours, the conversations, sharing stories, the drinks, the food, the atmostphere, the music, even taking photos. When the waitress asked if we need anything else to order, Gina said not really we came here to take photos. haha.
We really had a great time and that we called "The right time with the right friends at the right place." and we considered it as "Advance Celebretion for my Birthday"

This is my drink, it's "Sex on the beach" and we have additional name for it as "under the umbrella"

SATURDAY 17th, I got a call from a sweet friend from oversea. While i was on the phone Gina called me twice but i could not answer, then i called her back and she said Rath and her wanted to have lunch with me. So we went to Pizza company at Sorya Mall and we had different individual pasta. Oh forgot to mention that they got there before me, when i got there they gave me the left over cokey pipe. haha.

After lunch, we went to Gina's office to kill the time as that day i had class at 3pm. Rath and Gina enjoyed harvesting the on their Facebook Farmville, while i was taking a nap.......... and they took my pictures while i was asleep.

The girl in blue is Rath's friend we met there and invited her to join our table.

First day at MBA class

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2009

One door closes, another open. At the meantime, the closed door also open again while i'm approaching the just opened door.

I have applied for a Master program at RULE French Cooperation program accredited by Lyon 2 France. The result for entrance exam released and my name was in alternative interview. I did not hope i would be selected. Not to waste time, i applied to EFI/CSU (Economic and Finance Institute accredited by Charles Sturt University of Australia. At the same time i also applied to PUC (Pannasastra Univeristy).

I got accepted at EFI/CSU and PUC. On Thursday this week, i got to interview at RULE and successfully granted the admission. Interestingly, semester starts today in the same week.

Today is my first day at school again after two years. It was also a busy day at work, i did not have lunch because i was a bit busy and i also expect to have dinner at school's canteen. Unfortunately, they are building a new building and removed the canteen, plus my classes started at 3pm until 8:30pm. I was starving and the last session ended almost at 9pm.

Anyway, i enjoyed my first day at school though my class was freezing and we did not have the AC remote control. Besides those silly matters, i liked my class environment and facilities, professors gave interactive lectures, classmates are friendly and nice to me. They students are smart and aggressive. I think there will be a lot of challenges and i already know who would be my competitors :-)

Believe it or not, though it is the first day but the Financial Accounting professor has already assigned students in to groups for chapter presentations. My group will be on 24th next two weeks. As for English lectorer Nec, he already gave us a messurement test for an hour and an essay for homework.

Oh i forgot to mention my busy class schedules. It's Monday to Friday in the evening from 5:30 to 8:30 and the whole day on Saturday and Sunday which it is supposed to be. However, for this semester it's from 3pm to 8:30pm for Saturday.

Entertainment I am up to

Hooray! I'm on a holiday now, but just off from work not that i'm on a trip :-(

However, I'm enjoy myself relaxing at home, watching movies, having fun with family, playing games. Having said that, let me introduce you to two online and xbox games I am playing.

JX2 the online game, currently it is so popular in Cambodia. We have a company operating the server.... however, it's still new and there are not many mission and promotion events on Cambodia server. Therefore, I'm playing Malaysia server :-D

"Facebook is Evil"

WEDNESDAY, 02 SEPTEMBER, 2009

Since my sticky friend has an iPhone, he has the instant accessibility to a lot of useful sources for developing and improving his personal, professional and even business.

Today I received from him of two "Must Read" articles. Thus, now i share you too.

Burglars using Facebook, Twitter to find Targets
Insurance company warns that social media sites give potential thieves important information.

"Coupled with the finding that an alarmingly high proportion of users are prepared to be 'friends' online with people they don't really know, this presents a serious risk to the security of people's home and contents," said the insurer.

Facebook Exodus
“The more dependent we allow ourselves to become to something like Facebook — and Facebook does everything in its power to make you more dependent — the more Facebook can and does abuse us,” Harmsen explained by indignant e-mail. “It is not ‘your’ Facebook profile. It is Facebook’s profile about you.”

“Postings that seem private can scatter and slip unpredictably into a sort of semipublic status.”

Wondering what's it about people saying above? Then you gotta read the article follow by this link:
