Year End Review 2018!

In 2018 is another exciting year for my family and I. By siting in the hospital while my first daughter, Rita, is getting dengue fever- classic type, I took this opportunity to review what has been done and the challenges we overcome in the past 365 days against my goals set early in 2018. I have a bit more energy today from the last one week that I did not have enough time to sleep well for most of the nights, I am now able to sit and relax and thinking of what has been done over the year since my daughter is getting much better better. Our ending year activities are occupied by the sickness of Rita and we all are in the hospital for taking care of Rita. Thanked to the doctor and nurses for taking care of her.

In 2018 my works has been achieving a remarkable achievements with a rating as an outstanding performer for year-end of 2017, I been have supported by the organization for a coaching and mentoring session with an experiences colleges at the regional level. This coaching potentially to build up my capacity from the different aspects. Furthermore, I am also accepted and supported by the organization for a ten-day course in Amsterdam at the coming summer in 2019, which of course, resulting from my hard works in the organization. I hope to continue this high performance throughout the year of 2019 and onward.  All these achievements are contributing to my early year goals that we set especially for goal number one and number two, which will build a stronger and happier family and increased a possible opportunity whereby my professional skills can be unitized regionally or internationally.

Planning additional income sources besides my regular sources of income is still on the pipeline. However, it might take more time for me in order to get this plan putting in action but it is  slowly progress though it is far to reach. I believe that something will happen in the future, which will contribute to my early year goals, set of number three.

Taking this opportunity I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year 2019 and family reunion, healthy and wealthy. I wish that 2019 will bring me at the different higher level I aim for.

Good bye 2018 and welcome 2019 !!

Thank you

Is Kampot province will be the second Sihanuk ville in the future?

Is Kampot province will be the second Sihanuk ville in the future?

Photos Credit: Dr. Philippe Longfils, Kampot Residence : Photos since 2007 and you don’t see this today. Most of them are changed today.

From time to time not only Cambodian people, but foreigners as well who visit Sihanuk province, talks about the dominant of Chinese business people in this province. Same do I. I have the same feeling as expressed it in my previous article about Sihanuk province, especially when we look into the business landscape whereby most of the business activities occupied by the Chinese people. Particularly, in the tourism sector that including hotel, guest house as well as casinos and other restaurant and entertainment activities.

Having said this because I met a few western foreigners who is seeking for a place to live or making business in Kampot now and they said they were moved out from Sihanuk Ville where the live before and the place they used to rent 500 USD per month is increased to 1,000 USD or even 1,500 USD per month with the takeover by the Chinese business people. My question: is Chinese business people also move to Kampot after it is saturated in Sihanuk Ville?

HIV/AIDS can be prevented by different preventive measures which including wearing condom when having sex and/or from blood transmission and through raising public awareness on a particular disease and the transmission prevalence rate is dramatically decreased from year to year to even under 0.6% in 2016 among adult population from 15-49 years. However, the road accident case is still high according to the recent report revealed by the National Road Safety Committee that within this last 10 months in 2017 the traffic accident happened 2,958 cases caused people died of 1,469 and injured of 4,530.

The Growth of Sihanuk Ville, Cambodia?

Hearing people often say from one to another, about Chinese people contribute to the development of economic in this province, I now experienced myself just from a corner of hospitality services and I had a very surprise feeling to see just this small thing happened to me a few days ago last week in Sihanuk Ville whereby my family and I happened to be there and need a one overnight stay in this city province.

Year Back Review in 2017

Reviewing year back of my activities is quite exciting. By taking the advantage from this ending year holiday to sit and review of my challenges and lesson learned that my family and I made over the year. There are a number of emotional story and lesson we learned from this whole year that I see it as life learning lessons which need further struggles and commitments to achieve the goals in the coming years.

A memory of my grandma …

Today the first day of the Khmer New Year 2017, the year of Roster. I visited my mother at my homeland. It has always a great feeling , not only me but I am sure other people the whole country of Cambodia, for taking this opportunity to meet their family and friends for catching up and sharing the good things together over the past year.  So do I. I am glad to see my mother and other relatives but I also meet a wheel chair, whose kept a side of my house, where my grandma always sit on it for a few years before she left us. It reminded me of her smile, forgiveness and efforts when she was about 60s’ that she grew many kind of vegetables at home and she could sold it at the market in exchange with food to bring back home everyday. During that time (1980s’-1990s’) my grandma plays a major role of getting foods to feed our family members whereas my mom was working as a staff nurse in the hospital taking care of a four kids and my cousin. It was a hard time but leave a good memory and legacy.

I missed you grandma and may you rest in peace and may your soul be with us and taking care of us every minutes.

Happy Khmer New Year 2017 !!!

I was standing in front of an in patient building in one of the health centers in Kampot in 1998. This was a Chum Kiri Health Center where my project , at that time GTZ, supports many health services including malaria activities in this health center. Later on this building was renovated with the fund from GTZ. Thank to the RDP project at that time under the supervision from Dr. Philippe as Health Advisor and I was his assistant. It was a great memory to look back to the 18 years ago. Thanks Dr. Philippe for sharing the photo. Best of luck !! Kim Heang
