Positive Potential

WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2008

Over the last week, i had been moody and unhappy for many reasons. When i decided to let it go and focus on present while i am in the present, i realized this is life. Sometime up and sometimes down. However, we should enjoy what we have and don't be too upset about what already happened and what has not yet happened. Take what you experienced as a lesson and focus on what you are doing for the present and future, do not concern much about the future.

When i look at my present i can see positive things i have which makes me more happy and less sad. I have a warm family, i have friends, good friends and closed friends though sometimes i still feel lonely. I'm not rich but i have a good job which i like and i can earn enough to support myself. I don't have money to continue my study but i can try to improve my academic skills and apply for scholarships hope to be awarded for one of those.

Today i had a meeting with our important managers and some managers and staff from our associated company. During and after the meeting i can sense the positive potential opportunities for our companies and me. I feel i am getting more into a real business environment, administration and management.

Nevertheless, i'm having a tough time which i have to challenge with many tasks and responsibilities while having little time. Everyone is too busy with big and urgent projects so that only me have to make everything ready for our new office and new company. For office i have to design the building, lighting, showroom... for new company i have to plan for the business and marketing as well as sales. I think i'll go crazy soon. I like to be busy though when it's stressful i'm dying for a vacation.

In this pictures are the products we sell. They are the high technology materials and high quality made by the well known and reputable international company.


Seeing this photo it reminds me of my first step of my improvement, effort and development.

My first time that i was sent to abroad for training by the company.


The question is, should i focus on my career alone or on education alone? At the moment i'm putting my effort on both career and education. I think i can give up neither of them. Career is for my family business and my future, education is for my self-development and future. I dropped my gym and take TOEFL iBT course, expecting to get a band score of 110 while the scholarship requires 100. I'm so excited for having a class. I like studying.
Why i am talking about future again? Shouldn't i concern about present rather than future? Yes! i am doing for my present, however, this present will result in the future.

Rainbow on last day of my gym

SUNDAY, MAY 25, 2008

Today is the last day i went to my gym, because i will have TOEFL preparation course next two weeks. In this two weeks time i have no idea what to do after work. Home early and read....
It had been a good day, yet not a good time. I stayed up until 2AM last night and woke up at 9AM this morning. I went to my gym at 2:30 and did a lot of exercises and swam. It was a bit rain this afternoon and surprisingly there was a rainbow appeared right in front of my gym. It was beautiful!
The rainbow was just right in front of me. I could not help to take photos of it.

One side of the rainbow was exactly on the boat.

Not happy... try to be happy!

MONDAY, MAY 19, 2008

Recently, I feel light and can't stop thinking of everything. I might know the reason or might not. I feel incomplete and always try to smile in front of people, as i always do. Nobody usually knows when i'm sad. People say i'm a happy boy.

I always try to entertain myself. Now i came up with writing this note about my good weekend.
On Saturday i got an excuse to leave my work at 4PM. Then i went to T&Coffee Olympic with Jerry and I told Daniel to come there instead of seeing me at my office as we agreed.
After drop Jerry home, Daniel and I went to gym for an hour then we went to have dinner at Garden Centre Café. We had Mexican food. What Daniel had was what my mom cooks sometimes. At the same time, I remembered Victoria's Mexican food... then was the first day i got to know her and her lovely family.

What i found it was funny, the signs on the restroom doors.
The funny sign on the WC doors.

This pictures below taken by Jerry at my office. I'm studying how to set up and operate a home intelligent system devices that we are installing for Institute Paster de Cambodge.
Testing the Remote Control of Home Intelligent System

It works! Yay! But still there's a long way to go. Note yet successful.

100% Hip Hop

THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2008

It became a habit that Mark and I have dinner together every Thursday. We try different restaurants and different food. We went for Indian food, Khmer Creative, and this Thursday we went for Malaysian but the place didn't look encouraging enough so we went to Vietnamese near there.

The food was good and similar to Chinese food. After that i went to Chaktomuk theater to see the 100% Hip Hop that performed by three groups. Two were Cambodian groups and the last was French.

It was impressive and i'm so proud of my people. We have many of our great traditional dances, and we also can perform well the Hip Hop which is the recent popular western dance.

I liked the second group a lot. They danced for about 15 minutes and every second they caught every single audience's attention and impression.

I will give more information about the performances and the dancers under each photos below.

Nadork the Cambodian group was on the first performance. Danced about 10 minutes in Monkey style Hip Hop. This group is quite famous and they have performed for many occasions, that included Cambodiana Beach Party in March 2008.

Second Cambodian group which i hate myself for could not remember their group name. I like this group very much. In their performance, they showed many interesting styles and every member was so great.


This kid was so funny. He spoke French a lot to a foreigner sit next to me who doesn't speak only English. The kid talked none stop and play a lot to the guy, but the guy could only laugh at him. The kid call him Papa, and he hid then popped up said "Oh la la" all the time (like hide and seek game). The English man wondered what were the boy talking about.... and i could understand some only according to my poor French language. However, the boy was a good kid, he stopped playing when the show started. And he played again during the break.


Now enjoy the video.

Mother's Day 2008

SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2008

I used to try to make a pancake a couple months ago, and i was supervised by Tara (She knows how to make good cakes).
This Sunday is Mother's day, and i made pancakes for the whole family including our house helpers, there were ten people.

I'm glad that my pancakes didn't turn out bad. They were nice! I used ice cream, sugar and lemon for topping.






It was inconvenient for preparing for me, because I rarely work in our kitchen. Thus, i don't know where i can find what i need.

My pancakes didn't look nice and they came in different shapes. Moreover, the color on each looked like a map.

One piece topping was sugar and lemon, tasted interesting. Another piece topping was blueberry ice cream, tasted sweet (I don't like too sweet).

My mom was shy when i did this and my sister took this picture.

My nieces Marie and Martine wanted to eat the cakes, they promised me since Saturday to be good for a whole day. They could not do as good as they promised. Kid is still a kid.
