My First Short Story

The Luck Brought by Triplets

Written by: NGUON Chhayleang

A few droplets of water left from last night rain sleeping on branches of trees were rolling down gracefully to the red fertile ground and were absorbed abruptly and thirstily as a rainy night was transisting into a hot spring day. The sun was starting to give off light to the day again. A covey of birds were flying here and there across the about-to-turn-green landscape signaling for another great sunny day while the little ants were scuttling away under the mango tree looking for a place to store of their summer supplies. Behind the mango tree stood an old, gloomy and lonely house of a talented herbalist Pitou, a man who left his laboratory in Phnom Penh to find the herbs in the big forest of Mondolkiri province.

Calmness counts!

In order not to show your histrionics, you need to learn to be patient of what you can't do because controlling oneself is the path to his/her success. I was once told that, "The success is the one who can control his/her feeling over a skirmish." For example, you might face a range of problems, big or small, at your working place almost every day, if not every hour. Controlling yourself not to jump into any arguments, therefore, is the best way to help you to have a successful talk with you prospect buyers.

The best man you can ever find

A strong-looking man was accosting one of my prospective clients who was listening to my lecture on the new products. The man demanded me ceasing my speech. Although he tried to frustrate me, I still went on. One of my entourages who is flagrantly pugnacious, to my consternation, sallied toward that sinister-looking man and gave a tremendous punch on the forehead, leaving the man with injurious laceration and blooding spewing over the earth. With no respite, the man forthwith ran as quick away as his legs could carry him. Everyone witnessing the quarrel praised my entourage of his courage and determination to protect me.

My Excellent Academic Achievement

Today, I'm absolutely delighted to be acclaimed as the second most outstanding student at IFL, in year 2, morning shift, in the Bachelor's Program of Department of English of the academic year 2008-2009. This deed marked another impressive achievement I have made so far. I would not have received this award without the rigorous helps from my very intellectual lecturers. And my special thank goes to my parents who support me along the way. I was inspired both emotionally and mentally by them. Despite this wonderful accomplishment, however, I am still a simple and friendly person. I am still ME.

Two more AH1N1 dead cases in Cambodia

On October 6, 2009, Cambodia sees herself facing another shocking event. Two more older adults, a pregnant woman and a 41-year-old man, died from the rampant and malignant malady, AH1N1, following the death of a careless woman, who was late to be hospitalized, last month. The minister of Ministry of Health, Mum Bun Heng, said that he was filled with dismay that the three Cambodians could be recovered. In addition, he mentioned about the upcoming traditional event, Water Festival, which will be held from October 31 to November 3, when millions of people rush to see the Boat Racing event. He strongly advised those who are suspicious of having the disease not to go out to spread the disease to the visitors of the event.

Unthinkable event

You can't imagined how hard it will be to see deplorable incidence in the public places. This can be a scandal, an accident, a skirmish, or a roaring argument. Some people have a very special ability to predict those events, the mysteries of tomorrow. It seems that they have such unbelievable premonition. While I was perusing through the article about the banning of clothes from Cambodia to the US one morning, I suddenly had a kind of guts feeling that I had heard of this before. I started to recoil with fear of the event. I could not think of what to do besides feeling about the harbinger of my premonition.

Most Valuable Brands

As of today, the global economic downturn has had considerable impacts on the world's economy. No one is to be blamed. It is a bitter pill for everyone to swallow, including some of the most valuable consumer brand names such as Coca-cola, IBM, Microsoft, etc. To measure the decreases or increases of the value of the world most well-know brands is no easy task; however, according to McGregory, a BBC correspondent, every year a marketing consultancy INTERBRAND has a go.
