Sin Sisamouth - Reatrei Chuob Sneh (The night I met my love)

Dear Readers,

An anonymous reader sent this song to us for posting on Sunday, however, due to a glitch (Heng Soy was supposed to post this song, but he claimed that "my physical body could no longer keep up with up my mind after weeks of sleep of deprivation"), we were unable to post it until today. We apologize to our anonymous contributor for this delay.

Enjoy!

Lok "Heng Jreun jieng Soy"

It's so good to break up the week with something like this, and we could cheer ourselves up from the gloom and doom weather, or the natural disasters that keep on coming without warning. These events make us learn more about the impermanent in life, when we see the victims of flood, earthquake, mudslide or even the human rights abused. Although the victims have suffered differently, the pain and agony are tremendously unable to describe enough.

It's worth waiting for 3 days with the beautiful Stoeung Sangkeh's photo to bring us back there in spirit.
Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication to our nation and Khmer people. I sincerely hope you catch up with your sleep by now. Please take good care and look after yourself, Khmer people and Cambodia need you and your team.

Yeay Tep

Hmmmm!

How I miss Battambang, my birth place for more than a half century ago.
According to our late comedian "Lok Vingt Deux (22), son of Mr Trent deux (32), this beautiful home town is no longer be known as Battambang=the loss baton but he called Srok Batt Chhoeur with his mimic to Vietnamese accent. it was a very good piece of entertainment in the early 2000, reminding us of how time changed. He was much brilliant than any others who are performed these days.

I hope this song would bring us together to get back to the good old day.
