In House Food Party
Oh got a small party today in my coolie family house. Just invite a few friends to come over for dinner coz we hadn't planned anything much in advance. All of us helped each other cook three courses, Lao beef dish, Vietnamese Spring rolls, and volcanic beef... so shamed haha, i wana cook my special dish, Trapped Pig (Jrouk Joab Jung), but somehow i was a bit foolish to use plastic string to tie the pig.
Wow my house normally use banana string for that, and sometimes i saw them using plastic strings to tie rice cake and pork cake. I thought it was alright., but it didn't with the heat of the oil. Haha i didn't believe my boss's forewarning. Emm... so sick, me.
Anyway, the party was quite alright though guests've gotta wait for food and it wasn't enough. Yeah it's a first party ever hosted by our family. Next time it's gonna be much better with better and more food.
Taste my Trapped Pig and Rubbish chicken next time...
resolution for new year: equip ourselves with as many things as possible and watch out for every angles in life.
Happy New Year!

You go to a party and you see a sexy gal across the room.You go up to her and say"Hi, I'm great in bed, what about it?". That's direct marketing.
You go to a party and you see a sexy gal across the room.You give your friend ten dollars. He goes up and says"Hi, my friend over there is great in bed, what about it?". That's advertising.
You go to a party, you see a sexy gal across the room.She comes over and says,"Hi, I hear you're great in bed, what about it?" Now that is the power of branding.
Haha this is a very good way to learn... much easier to understand. I dunnoe why authors of marketing textbooks dunnoe how to make things simple... haha dun u think it's so boring to read marketing textbooks?

It was on the fourth of December. I was very happy in the twenty first. Something very interesting in life. You would have experienced it, but not the way i have. Few days, few weeks, few months of the blue, red, and dark sky. Feelings changed from day to day according to the state of this poor nature of the only one world. It was beautiful to look back. Haha it's so much fun when u find urself somewhere there u've never been n seen; y do u stand ur eyes like that and y do u close ur eyes? All of ur whole body is controlled only by one particular complicated thing; for only a bounded age of life anyway.
Lots of if i were flooded ur head; still only up to a bounded space. Nothing's ever everlasting haha. Even if u wana run the whole of ur life, u still can't do that coz of ur limited power. That nothing's not restricted only to ur phisical body. See even if u wana cry for just a whole day, u still can't do that for sure coz ur tears also dry up. You can't let out ur feelings for any circumstances. It's a sad side of life actually. Still, i dun believe in this undying sadness.
Isn't this life supposed to be for smiles? How do we wana smile by the way? when and where? haha i dunnoe. it's up to ur thinking. Some people says their lives're supposed to be for a last smile. I admire that and i would say u r the best. Be my angel if i happen to know u haha. Some people lives in a million smiles a day; good as well. Still beautiful though it's just a fake smile. If i dun remember wrongly, smiles affect ur family, words from ur mouth affect people around. Remember to smile at least in the surrounding of ur family. It can light up their lives and urself also. Oh other hands, some people even doesn't generalise their smiles, but rather limit thier smiles to sth haha. Sound beautiful to me when i'm thinking of it. Those idiots say they smile only in front of their girlfriens. U r good bastards then haha. Yeah overall, ur smiles are ur being characteristics, at least for mostly coz there happens sometimes u get an unconcious smile from a liar's joke haha.
Feelings and living characteristics are things that we should think about... i might have forgotten sometimes. so just wana remind everyone including myself of these... haha. i wana live for all by the way...
Forgive me!

"MY FRIENDS"
Ok now it's 'bout friends, the ones who share our happiness (take away some of our hapiness haha). It's very memorable 'bout friends; sometimes we'd never know when we need them, but most of the time we do unless we're attached haha. I started to compose this song when i was working in Raffles last summer holiday, but it was never be completed coz i always changed my composition to be in sth called love. Emm i had some good friends at work and also some idiot frns. It was such a hard time that you'd feel so miserable when your good frns not around. Y they never come to work? Unforgettable 'bout my housemates also. i dun know why when i was alone, i just ran from place to place for nowhere. Lots of frns i've made, lots of fun we have together. Though there might be some unhappy feelings towards each other sometimes, you're still my FRIENDS. I wana make u happy, i want you to be here with me, and i still love you though you're always with ur girlfriends or boyfriends other than me. Here's for you "MY FRIENDS"
i. if i wake up and i don't see your face, around me
i'll be sad and lonely for the whole day
and you know i'll be waitin for you on the way
(waitin) for you to come back
to smile at me... to play with me...
ii. Remember all those days you went away, so far from me
i kept searching all the places to see
in hope that you'd there, somewhere we'd been
though they'd never be real dreams
i just wana know for sure...
R. OH my friends, you know how important you are in my life
you know what would happen if there were no sun in the sky
everything would just be blind
every smile would just be plunged inside... the darkness.
iii.Now i wana say that i love you, oh my friends
you cheer in and brighten up my whole life
just having you here, i will never cry
coz when you're by my side
i can feel the love, the care inside... your heart...
Chorus: My friends, you're the ones i care...
My friends, you're the ones i love...
My friends, you're everything i have...
My friends, happy to see that you're for me...

Happy with a walk of beautiful broken dreams. If i could always have such a desirable dream, i wish i fall asleep forever; no needa see the sun... How can i shout out... loud enough to blow off the sun and break out the whole world?

World of Wars @ World News
1. if you click Africa, you'll see the common topic is AIDS, HIV
2. if you click Americas, you'll see sth like this:
"Bush's bombing Iraq, Afganistan... Bush's inspecting for a place to land his Bush's Big Bombs."
"Rumsfeld urged changes to US Iraqi strategy.. Rumsfeld's knocking Korea's head for a place to burn.. Bush and Rumsfeld're successfully hanging Sadam. Bush, Rumsfeld and Tony Blair're tearing Bin Laden's clothes..."
3. If you click Middle East, you'll firstly see pictures of SMOKE covering some city. Yeah Bagdad's burnt down. Afganistan's Kabul's collapsed by just a bush bomb. Outstanding news: Sadam to be hung. Suicide attack killed 3 brb.
4. if you click Asia Pacific, you'll see "Korea wants to be brother no 1; Korea igniting nuclear bomb; Bush challenging his bush big bomb with Korea nuclear bomb.."
5. if you click Europe, you'll see " Pope's playing in Turkish's mosque; Islam in Europe; Muslim faces job discrimination; Muslim faith and western values..."
Yeah this's how the world's stare at each other with fire eyes. Power, self-ambition, religion... all are causes of the devastation of people's happiness. Since the topics in news are just common, you don't needa click it. Best to go ahead to other sites such as business, technology, science and nature, and entertainment. Believe me!
FOCUS Thanksgivings
Coming home very tired, hungry also. I fried brocolli with chicken; emm never cook these days. Still tired even after lunch; my eyes were so blurred. Still i couldn't take a snap. Stay awake until evening comes. Going for Focus Thanksgivings gathering; dreaming along the way as usual. Relaxing under a tree inside the church for nearly an hour - so quiet the church. Good talk with different people in the gathering. Not bad. Should get ourselves some time to talk with people. Meet up with auntie, host family; she likes giving me advices. yeah i like that. she's the best person to share stories. Met an uncle, Yew Huat, and his daughter Grace. They were friendly, inviting my family for lunar festival haha; so long to come. He said i'm so blurred as satong; yeah i am actually. That's why i am who i am now - satong. satong is squid or blurred people in malay language. So i'm mr squid then... ok good night mr squid.

Here's coming a new technology. Damn cheap laptops, produced by a philanthropic group of designers led by Nicholas Negroponte - co-founder of the Media Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology - would start coming next week as explained by the project's chief technical officer, Mary Lou Jepsen.
The laptop becomes this cheap due to a new idea of flash exploit and a rethink of a fundamental design of the screen. As described by MS Jepsen, the new laptop employs flash memory rather than a hard drive which is expensive and power hungry and is also the leading cause of hardware failure in laptops.
The new screen design helps bring the cost down to only a third of the normal screen cost of over $100. Also, the new screen takes a maximum of only 14% of the power consumption, is readable in sunlight, and has a high resolution.
Wow... see how incredible these small human beings are. Ok be prepared for a change. Dun underestimate yourselves by the way. Go ahead with your dream... emm i also have a friend who wishes to create a device that can transfer knowledge to human brain. I wish to see that innovation haha.

Cambodia and Korea have recently cohosted the first astounding cultural expo in Angkor, Cambodia. The event is organized for 50 days from 21 Nov 06 to 9 Jan 07 and more than 20 countries have joined. Cambodian and Korean heroes opened together the unprecedented cultural cooperation event on the 21 Nov.
The joint cultural festival shows cultural performances and various exhibitions of the two countries' culture.
It should be noticed that the relationship between Cambodia and Korea over these years have been improving a lot. Though there seems to be only a small significant growth in the direct investment from Korea to Cambodia, there is a great deal of cooperation in culture among the two countries, not forgetting Japan also. Lots of Cambodian performers and cultural artists have been subsidised by Korean and Japanese governments to bring their culture for exposure to the outside world, not only in Japan and Korea. Thanks for that. Now we can notice that more and more tourists, especially Japaneses and Koreans, are flooding to Cambodia each year- 1 out of 5 tourists coming to Cambodia is Korean (the largest group) according to the government survey.
I hope there are more and more of such kind of event to raise people's awareness of the country, increase the number of tourists, and thus improve the country economy. Yeah many thanks to Korea and Japan.

(Repeat R1)
R2. I never mean to require, that you'd come to be mine

The so-called Iron Silk Road Project, which is initiated by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia Pacific since 1960, will come to force 90 days after the remaining 9 countries agree to sign the intergovernmental agreement on the 81,000 km network project.
The 9 countries, comprising of Bangladesh, N Korea, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, and Turkmenistan, are given 2 more years to decide on their taking part in the project.
18 countries, including China, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia, signed the agreement on Nov 10 in S Korea.
The rail-integrated TAR, which links capitals, ports and industrial hubs across 28 Asian nations all the way to Europe, will enhance the transport network in the whole region. It will improve the port efficiency, avoid port congestion, and especially help the landlocked countries to get an easier access to the world markets.
It seems to be a good initiation, but i dun understand why the rest of the countries are reluctant to sign. Is it because those countries such as Singapore and Malaysia don't seem to get any special advantages or benefits from the project? Emm... can't see the reason especially for Singapore. it'd gain a lot from its very active port by transporting products to the mainlands. Or is it because of the possible reduction in its port activities due to the switch to rail transport? Immigration problems?
Anyway, i wish to see it happen asap.

This is my very first composition of English song... 'Broken Heart' is dedicated to my room that we were together in the prehistoric days of today's life. Now she's gone and never come back. I wish to meet her somewhere some time. (haven't found out the chords yet)
I. Waking up in the morning just to see...
the nature of this lonely world
now i just keep walking... over the room we were in
and everything's so terrible... in my life...
II. I was trying so hard not to think...
that you were always be here
since now that you've gone and now that i know
my tears keep flowing... into my heart...
(Chorus1). aa...i'm broken heart and i dun wana wake up any more
i wana let you know that you're breaking my soul
and i dun wana live in this room no more
as all the memories're (with you) making me like a fool...
i see and think, i hope and dream
that you'd be back... oh... oh...
iii. Now i cry every night to dry my tears...
to wipe out all the stain
to feel all the fears, to clear all the pains
to erase you from my brain
and to stand by myself...
(Chorus 2) But i just can't deny... that you're always in my eyes
your face is still inside... my head...
and i can't forget you... and i need you to come back...
music... chorus1 -> iii -> chorus2.
i just know i miss her though i dun know how she is now... wana see her face...

Everyone Knows Cambodia's Famous For... (Joke of the Year )
Emm... yeah wana talk 'bout this girl who is my project teammate at school. Actually she just started to come to class in the fourth week since she just got her bid for the class in week 3. Lessons've gone so far alr. Quite tough for her. She didn't have a group yet that time, so prof. assigned her to be with my group. During the break we introduced ourselves. She's from China.
"I'm Jackie," she said, "from Shanghai, China." {...}
"I'm Sothun," I said.
"Where r u from," she asked.
"Cambodia," i said...
The week after that, we'd got a meeting. Yeah we came earlier than the rest. She smiled beautifully to my heart and talked so sweetly.
"What's your name?"
"Emm... Sothun," i said.
"Oh where r u from by the way," she asked.
"Emm... Cambodia," i replied.
"OH YEAH! there're lots of Cambodians here, right?" she said.
"Emm... not really," i replied.
"Yeah a lot," she said, " i met a Cambodian guy last time, but i forgot his name..." {...} "OH do u know Shanghai?"
"Of course," I said, "only a fool doesn't know Shanghai... lots of famous fighting movies made 'bout Shanghai... I like them very much" {...}
"Yah... Emm. U'r from Cambodia... oh yeah Cambodia's very famous," she said.
"Really??? famous for what?" i asked.
"Yeah... everyone knows Cambodia's famous for... Er... Emm... OH YEAH its name," she replied.
"the name?" i stunned.
"Yeah... Cam-bodia, Cam-bodia," she pronounced.
"OH..." @^_^@. I just know.

Old Friends in Damdaek Pagoda, Phnom Penh
Long way to go, my friends, we can always go ahead as long as we still open our eyes. A long journey starts from a small single step. Don't be upset of yourselves just because you can't take a long step as others do. Remember the tortoise has its own way. Keep smiling for yourselves, me, and others: &*_*&

A little windy from the window; can see the river outside lying straight and never being afraid of tomorow when the weather dries - yeah i wish you can stay still ever. I don't understand why we can't just live our lives - why do we need to wait for the sun to rise and the world to bright? So quiet and peaceful is the nature of the night, but why can't we enjoy it? Does life really need a light? Is bright a price?

can't stand beside him.
Crazy me!!!
This guy always talks rubbish; dun listen to him much.
Emm... I don't know... I don't understand... haha i don't know why i like these two expressions. Lots of my friends say they sometimes find it difficult to understand me. Yeah sometimes neither do i understand myself. I don't even know what i'm thinking and doing... a no-reason person. I'm actually a very organized person, but the most untidy person is also me.
I think i'm a very optimistic person; emm anyway that doesn't really help, but rather hinder my progress. I can recognize that, but i don't understand why i'm still who i am... so lazy to be others, so follish of myself, so silly to understand things, so crazy of my thoughts... Being optimistic always puts myself in the position of seeing, hoping, and waiting, but not struggling to get the results. As a result comes out, i hate myself; but i'm still who i am.
I know i can change myself. Yeah i've changed from time to time... up to now coz of some reason that drives me for a change to be a different me. Until now, i wanna be another me... but i don't really know who i wanna be. I don't know whether it's coz i haven't found the reason to change.
I don't know where i'm going now... and i don't understand either what i'm trying to do and why. I need a plan or sth in mind to go ahead, but i don't know; can't find out what that is. I probably in lack of sth... oh i don't know, don't understanddddddddddddd...........................
