From a high school girl to a university student...

From a high school girl to a university student…

After I have passed the high school leaving examination since August, now my life as a high school girl has changed to be a university student instead. Well, I got grade “C” with a total score of 99.469/100 which is nearly “B”. People who got 99.479 were graded “B”… Well, let me tell you my specific grade for all 10 subjects during my exam. I got 2 “D”s in Khmer Literatures and Math, 2 “A”s in Physics and Social Studies, 3 “B”s in Chemistry, Biology and history, and 2 “C”s in Earth Science and English subject.

You know, this year the graded score format is different from the previous year. Last year, they set that 99.5## up was “A”, from 99.5## down to 98.### was “B” and “C” was from 97.### down to 93 or 92, whereas this year there are only the top 2 students are graded with “A”. One top boy got more than 100 and another girl who is my friend, she also got “A” with the total average score is 99.999. From 99.998 down to 99.479 is “B”. See! It is such a short space of “B”. Me, is the top “C”, from 99.469 down to around maybe 92.###. There is still “D” which I am not sure if it is from some kind of 89 down to somewhere. I am not dare to give more unreliable information about the grade score cuz I don’t know for sure as well.

After finishing high school, it is normal now that the students are preparing for university. For me, I have passed the scholarship entrance exam at Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL), Royal University of Phnom Penh in Department of English. I’ll take Bachelor of Education in English there. The class will start on 16th October. I also applied to another faculty in Accounting and Finance at Economic and Finance Institute (EFI). I do dual bachelor degrees. Well, I have merely reached the exit of a first step tunnel and will fight through another dark tunnel of university life soon next month. ( ^ , ^ ) Guess what, I am expecting and imagining how I would posses my life as a university girl. Hehehe… Will it be a tough and enjoyable one??? J However, I commit to try my best to do well! I need to grab goodies to my life. I am trying my best in seeking and behaving for the 3 success of life, (Academic, Social, Family) success.

How about you? Any comment for the university life or not? What do you think whether it is worth trying best to get the best evaluation in university or in society?

Water Tidal Day

I've never seen this flower is in pink! Beautiful!
At the pray time for the water tidal day! Well, hungry??? Hehe... In fact, even I didn't have breadfast, I didn't feel any hungry!...
Wow.... Yummy roast ducky! Actually, I'd prefer the pig, but this year is the Piggy Year, so better use ducky one!

Water tidal day is a chinese festival which is just the same meaning as Khmer Pchum Ben's day which is coming up soon. I could see most people here celcebrate this day too as we people are now not totally pure-Cambodian-blood. Thus, i could assume that many people are half-blood chinese, even not half, but can be a bit as well! hehe.... Do you celebrate Water Tidal day at home???

This is late in the evening around 8P.M. The students still remian at the photocopy shop down my home...

The school leaving examination had taken place on 6th of August. There was sound of nice motorcycle of the students came and went out from the photocopy shop along street 110 down my house. I could have never imagined that scene! They are all grade 12 students who were to have the high school leaving exam this academic year. I saw that when I was sitting doing some lesson revision for my school leaving exam at the belcony of my house. I am also a grade 12 student too! :) But I didn't go down to copy any document na! Hehe....

Well, now my exam has ended successfully. I have more time to work with my blog as well as to relive it again as I've left it quite along time to prepare for my exam. Now I am back on the blogosphere to regain my popularity. ( ^ , ^ )

Dengue Fever....

Dengue Fever is striking noticeably…

According to the everyday news and what I have seen currently, “ Dengue Fever ” is now striking the life of human, in Cambodia as well as other developing countries such as Vietnam, not only the little kids but the grown-up people as well. Further, it is even more dangerous if the grown-up people get it.

On Saturday 30, June, there was a meet up with someone from some kind of health institution who came to urge and tell people in my community about the danger of Dengue Fever which cause by a kind of mosquito (Tiger mosquito??? hehe…) and how to protect ourselves from that. In addition, the community agents visited each house, gave the ALBET —a kind of powder substance that usually use by putting into the water (Bath tube …) to prevent water from being the settlement for the mosquito.

On the same day, there were 2 cars, the one, which leaded the way, with a big statue of Giant Black-and-white leg mosquito on the roof of the car. Inside that car, there was a man speak out to the public by loudspeaker about the Dengue Fever, how harmful it is, and the way to prevent it, to awake our consciousness, to make us beware and get ready to fight with it. Another following car, with a big mosquito repellent tube, sprayed out the ALET water spray as it moved forward along the street.

The people in my community seem to be very happy receiving attention and care by these activities.

Know, in fact, recently there were no more place for the Dengue Fever patients to stay in Takeo and Vietnamese hospital. So!? Take good care of yourself and your beloved family members na! Don’t forget to use insect repellent lotion or spray na! Be well and safe!!!

Kindness from Dee ( ^,^ )

Traffic....

Traffic! Traffic accident! Ambulance! Traffic Police! Hospital! Over speeding! Crashing! Blood! What are these?

Recently, since the end of 2006, I find the traffic in Phnom Penh is becoming messier and messier! Everyday as I listen to the read-out-news from newspaper on radio, I always hear the news about traffic accidents! Whenever I am on the way to school with my 50cc-Super Cup, all my spirits gather up at my eyes, my head, my arms and hand, my leg and feet! My soul is round up with careful concentration. My velocity is 25m/hr constant as shown in the canter! I am really scared of fast speeding, being in de middle of the street, speedup while the traffic lights are yellow or just few seconds left of green. I often see the accidents cause by motorbike Vs motorbike, car Vs motorbike…. Etc. I hear the sound of ambulance; see liters of fresh red blood on the road, the shouting of each vehicle controllers… I am afraid of being on the way… if I have another choice, I’d choose to walk on the side walk! Being a passenger! I always wonder why the others meet such accident. Only if all vehicle controllers learnt and just respect the traffic law, there won’t be a mess in the traffic and traffic jam anymore! There won’t be accident! The passengers’ transportations will be safe! The city’s traffic will be peace!

Everybody knows these! But let me just write out about some possible cause of road accident because of not respecting the traffic laws.

- over speeding (Especially while the street is cramped)
- No full concentration and attention while controlling vehicle (Talking on the phone
- Drunk driver
- Do not having skill in controlling the vehicle, esp. too youngsters
- Win-win thought while driving or riding
- ………………………………………..

La'ak Primary school in Ratanakiri

La'ak Primary school, a 5-room-building with only 3 room occupied. Each 3 room are for the 1st grade, 2nd and 3rd in order. The age of the students in every grade mixed up. The 15 year-old student in the 1st grade is a simple thing. There are around 60 students in this school. The villager there are all Kreng nation. only some of them can understand our simple Khmer language. Their daily dish for the 3 meals is Kdev leave (a kinda simple tasteless small green leaves) with salt and rice, nothing more! What so miserable! Sometimes they lack water to drink as the land is so dry, only 1 well in a village which is so deep in the forest high up in the mountain that not many people reach.

Even the village school located in such isolated area in the province, but there still be the Cambodian flag raises high up in front of the school which is a sign to let everyone know that here is khmer land.
