Farewell Party for Uncle Phcar

It is Thursday evening at Bopha Phnom Pneh restaurant along the riverside nearby the night market. It is our great pleasure were invited by Uncle Phcar before his return. He is returning to France on Sunday evening after three months staying and also back on January next year.



We jumped to talk a series of topics related to society and business. Phanith and I talked seriously and confidently with him about his projects. We had many workable ideas how to run business, however it is impossible to do it. It's finacial constraint. We learn the new words from him is " The small is very beautiful one". We make notice of Leaksmey talked so much with uncle many issues. Too often, Phanith and she made fun of each other.


We are very sorry that our B2 could not arrive on time due to his burden work at ministry. He is supposed to be natinal hero. Nobody knows him work hard for the nation. On behalf of myself and B2, I strongly support and actively encourage B2 do whatever he does for the sake of nation. some people sometimes blame him for his lateness. But Only our three bothers do know.


We finished our dinner around 9 O'clock. The dinner was very good amosphere, friendly, and enjoyable. It's also fruitful and constructive discussion.

Long live, our brotherhood and friendship !

Why have a family?

Too often, We hear about love in a family, complaints in a family, problems in a family. Isn't this because the family has its deepest roots in life and happiness? I think it is natural law who create and force us to give offspring for the existing of this planet.

Ouch, my two guys B2 and B3 usually mention about it. They always recommend me to marry soon as well as my parents. Especially, my B3 really wants to create a perfect family. He seems to be very caring and helpful father and husband.

To my understaning, Making family is not concesion and gift, but it is the matter of mutual understanding and compromosing. It is the way we learn to live together at the end of the worlds, not just PhD(Prepare to have a divorce). In other word, it is said that both of people should have something in common. Or else, we can say God not give us yet a gift. So let's waiting it.

Without family, what happend next?

Being yourself

I just learned this phrase from two gals. Yesterday, after having lunch, we keep going shopping as usual at russia market with a group of two guys and two gals. We came from one stall and stall. At the end, we came to buy at the same seller. Two gals recommended me to choose jean and shirt suitable to me.

Forgetting to tell, they work at magazine, so they know and familiar to guy's style. However, we sometimes intended to ignore their advices. Then I caught up with the word "To be yourself".

Being yourself is very hard to change, anyway it is the matter of time and personality. Some people have their own favorite. Otherwise, we should choose the good ones and kick off the bad things.

How to help them?

This weekend I went to my land to see how it made and developed. Otherwise, everything is very disappointed and unbelievable. It's nothing progress to schedule and planning. They worked very slowly and carelessly.

We tried to help them by providing them a good condition of work and pay. I have a burden of charge with my uncle Jean to invest in Cassava plantation. Sometimes, I nearly get poor and bankrupt cuz of my investment. We hired 8 people used to work on boat in Thai. We pay them 90 dollars per month each and plus 20 kg of rice. We have 33 hectares in total, only 8 hectare were planted, and the rest is full of grass. How do they work? Do they think about the consequences and impact? and Finally, we decided to lay off them this month. Business makes a profit, if not what hell are going on next?

How to build a good profile

Last night I had a serie of talks with my uncle Jean. He is very happy and proud of me and two brother (B2, B3) as well as my close friend Sunly and appreciates us so much about our lasted-long relationship and fraternity.

He insists me to keep this fabulous relationship even we have our own family respectively. One thing, he observed that my B2 is a really provocator and B3 looks strong but very poor in spirit and mind. To me, It is considered to be catalysor.

Afterward, we jumped to talk about the project to modernise the town at Andoung Meas. He has a big hearted, and generous. Actually, in France, he is the President of Khmer Association (AKVO) , Cergy-Pontoise, France and several member of association and federation. Since he came to Cambodia, he invested nearly 20,000 dollars US to cultivation on the land of 33 hectares, and provide 8 employment which give them 90 dollars and rice 20 kg per month. It's well paid compared to work in Thai. Our labor come from Kampot province, used to work on the boat in Siam. We provide them a good condition of work and hope.

Let me brief my important talk with him about the town modernization. First, he wants to create one association there using local villager as the founding father, and him as a partner, because he can not use his name to ask the aid from France's side. Second, we will build many public toilet two kilometers around the town first, then expand next if it works as planning. However, in order to get aid from foreign, we have to build by our own first. Then they can see our activity and project proposal, make them study and give fund later. Third, he will contact with local authority there first to install electricity. After returning France, he will come to see many donor such as Electricité Sans Frontier and other to discuss this project.

What make me very interested , he wants to build good profile for us. In the project, he will assign us as Advisor to the project. Because He said that we are good background and high profile and the leader in the next generation, so it is easy to request fund. I totally agree with him. In my opinion, it is very good idea, but I don't know my two brothers welcome this idea or not.

To conclude, to be well-known , we have to buid up our profile through social activities and writing. It's time to kick off now, don't waste our time so much.

My Weekend at Preah Sihanouk Ville

It was at the Ou Cheu Teal Beach, there were lots of local and national tourists visiting there, there are little places , but lots of tourists. We sat near the end of beach, at Srey Pech, fortunately, we did not pay the place's fee at all. My friend, sunly, knows the owner of the place. She is very cute, but mean. I parked the car in the wrong place, she came to approach me and said please park the car in the right place. Whoa ! She insulted me, my friend told me parking here is OK. We took pic after drinking Anchor Beer two or three glass.
I remember it is my third time to visit Preah Sihanouk Ville. It took nearly 6 years since 2002 I used to visit twice when I was at University.
From my observation, it is good symbol of prosperity and development. There are lots of hotels and guest house as well as restaurants. Furthermore, most people seem to be well-off.
