this and that

My whole life believe in good things. I have faith. I do enjoy the theories of Jean Paul Satre. I have read some old classic, like Republic, Plato.

I have read the last harry potter book, i give thumb-up for the author JK Rowling for this nice ending plot. I spent 2 full days to finish it off. What a surprise is that it is on sale same day as the global launch day, but it is too pricey that i'm wondering how many children can afford one here?

Let's talk about this PIM workshop, and the next big event Cambodia "clogger" summit at the end of this month, ( I really want to joint, but it on workday, so...); the great barrier, i think, the high price of hooking online, how many people can afford to subscribe from home? how many free public internet access? But i'm really happy to see the growing number, the growing interest, since the word "Blog" is the word of the year.

The popular election is less than a year and there are many fresh voter. I'm talking about Online Campaign, (will there be one?).

Month of Public Holidays

This is May, It's hot, even hotter than April and where's the rain? it's got a little here and there but still not cool thing down a bit. Yet, it got much more holiday than the other months, start with Labour Day 1st May(it's the same day with Visak Buchea, otherwise you get 2days off) , 5th may is Chrot Phreah Nokoal, and King's Birthday is on 13, 14 and 15th of May (it's 5 day holiday if you count Sat and Sun). So where will you go? have any plan? me not yet, may be just relax at home and watch some movies. But current trend is having holdays abroad, popular spot is Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sigapore, some also go to Hong Kong, Beijing of China, Australia and UK and US is also the some tour package. That's why tour company is now fourishing, and seems very profitable.

Little Bookshelf of Mine

Well, I wanna write this blog regularly but whenever i reach the Internet, the speed seems always slow, that i barely check some mail and download some stuffs. Anyway, I just wish connection price come cheaper that i can have home subscription.

Recently, i got time to visit some bookstores, buy some books to add to my little coner bookshelf. I got this newly published local publications that is so interesting to me. A book written by Khing Hoc Dy titled in khmer and french as "Cambodian Literature of the 20th Century" have capture my attention so much that i reread it several time. It is a bible of khmer literature, featuring short biography for most of khmer famous writers since the start of 20 century, with selected texts of their works. With that references, i know i have bought one of the oldest khmer mordern novel "Tuk Tonlé Sap" by Kim Hak , newly republished but originally published in 1930's. It's also good to see some picture at the end of the book and there's so much more to write about at later time.

Another book that i have bought, and have much interest to read is "Annual Development Review" published by CDRI in English. It's written by peer of reseachers, looking at the main issue of development in Cambodia for the past year and for the future. The Oil curse, textiles productions, etc. are very much curbing my attention. I have to say "Thumb up!" for their works.
