My photo in the newspaper
11 March 2009, Koh Santepheap Newspaper, I am at the right hand side!11 March 2009 is my honorable day for my Bachelor life. On the way to the stage, I was very excited plus getting extremely nervous ever. When on stage, I didn't even dare to look at the Prime Minister's face. What I did was to follow the procedure which I was told before getting on stage. Look at my face! I didn't even smile! OMG! That's stupid; the picture you rarely get in life, but you didn't smile, Leng Ieng. Of course, this is what nervous causes you. You can't do anything even smiling to get the best shot. It's never good if you are nervous. Be brave! Be courageous!
The 56th Anniversary of Cambodia Independence Day
As usual, the celebration takes place at the Independence Monument located in Phnom Penh. This year, it's the same for the place but a bit different for the schedule from that of the past years because a part of the celebration is done on the 8th, one day before the Independence Day, from 3PM onward while the remaining is done on the 9th. According to the authority, this is done so that it will be easier for the King because each year it seemed to be very busy for the King to celebrate every part of the celebration all at once on one day.
