Just a Word for YOU.....

You always say to me with a smile but why tonight you are different. I am not sure what I have done wrong. Maybe I can't see it clearly by myself. You know I never hurt anyone and especially girls to whom you advise me to respect and be good. Definitely, I always do like what you told me. Every word you have said I keep in my little heart. But I realized the first woman I hurt just now was YOU. I really want to say sorry, but you say it's too late and what the heck you can do with the word SORRY. Maybe it is fate! And you call me boy even though I look quite old. Why? when you meet the heat-point of your life you could not bear, and then you blame fate. I tell you the last time, Look at yourself. You leave me alone right now...

You should have listened to my reasons before you walked away from me. Now I can't see your shadow that is always by me when I'm down, and even your tears falling down because of me disappear...I just want to stand in front of you and say all the words in my mind to you, but I can't cos I feel I'm not strong and brave enough to do it. Now what I can do is just to write my words down in the paper that you wont read. This may be the lyric of my song I sing along to show my feeling deep inside of me. Tell the truth I almost cry when I was writing this. But luckily my tears did not fall down. No matter how the tears were falling down inside my heart. I'm not crying...You told me you are a man, don't let your tears fall down...yes I'm not crying...It's just inside my heart...

“Cold Inside”

Sometimes, I feel I go too far but I realize I’m not with you.

Sometimes, I feel I get lost ‘cos I don’t have any aspiration.

But the truth is you that appear inside my eyes to give me strength and inspiration.

You are like a golden compass of my life.

You will make it all for me…

Life without you is just non-sense.

I really need you right here.

Every breath I take is just because of you.

You will be the one who I call my hero.

You are in my fragile heart ever…

May you hear me now, my angel?

The darkness’s just clouding me for a while.

You will be the one who takes it all from me.

I see you won’t let me drown in the shadow of massive rain.

I’m not afraid to let you take my hands…

Don't know what to say....

2. Movie Line!

The story begins in the poor village, but happily with nice and helpful neighbors. There are two sons in a family with a chronically sick mother. The big brother takes all responsibility he bears since he was born. At the young age, both brothers enjoyed learning martial art, history, and other school subjects. As time passed by, the big brother realized he has to work harder to support his brother to go to high school and his mother's medication while he continued doing his study for Medicine University. The brother fortunately got the scholarship to enter the university. He was dreaming to write a master piece so as to help other poor people and even his hometown man. He believed he can help those unfortunate people who are struggling with their lives through life time such as health problem, and family issues. But all of his dreams were killed and burned into the ground when he faced with a really big challenging in his life. He was answering one big question he doesn’t want to hear or maybe other people don’t want to. The question is “Who Killed My Younger Brother?” At the end of the day, he decided to quit school and tried to give the right answer and to do something right for himself or for others. He started to relearn his martial skills so that he could defeat all those evil-minded guys…the story goes all the way down…with the title "កំហឹងឈាមរាវ" “YOUTH”S WRATH”, Khmer movie, Action, drama, Adventure...

World Tallest Woman Dead

WASHINGTON: An American believed to be the world's tallest woman has died, nursing home staff told AFP on Thursday.

Sandy Allen, 53, who grew to be more than seven feet, seven inches tall died on Wednesday at a nursing home in Shelbyville, Indiana.

A spokeswoman for the Heritage House Convalescent Centre in Shelbyville said Allen "had been in failing health in recent years and died of natural causes".

She had been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest woman. By the time she was 10, Allen already stood six foot three. By 16, she was over seven feet tall, the Indianapolis Star daily said.

It's believed that a tumour on her pituitary gland caused her abnormal growth. It was removed when Allen was in her 20s, but she continued to be affected by a variety of health issues related to her height, including poor circulation and weak leg muscles that kept her confined to a wheelchair in her later years.

While her height brought her and the town of Shelbyville fame, it also led to personal despair, especially in her late teens when she spoke about her height being an impediment to relationships.

The newspaper quoted a letter Allen is said to have written to Guinness in 1974 in which she said: "I would like to get to know someone that is approximately my height. It is needless to say my social life is practically nil and perhaps the publicity from your book may brighten my life."

Cambodian Team at Beijing Olympic

Cambodia has sent a total of 6 athletes and swimmer together with other 9 delegates to join the Beijing Olympic Game 2008. The delegates are including with King Sihamoni and Thong Kon , minister of tourism and Kol Pheng , minister of education. With just only 6 people I guess we don’t expect much from it. The most interesting fact I wana share here is that according to Xinhua news, the Cambodian team candidates were receiving only 30 USD per month form our National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC) while training for the competition. I wonder how can they survive with such a little stipend if they really invest their heart and soul into the game and I wonder how much will NOCC has been putting to support our Cambodian team.
