Water Festival In Cambodia

Bon Om Thook (Khmer:​ បុណ្យអុំទូក), the Khmer Water Festival, is a Cambodian festival celebrated in November. Every town and province joins in with the celebration but the place to be for Bon Om Thook is Phnom Penh. For three days, workers from every province join with the city's residents to celebrate by night and day.

The river comes alive with fireworks and flotillas of brightly-lit boats and the moon rises over the capital.

The full moon which coincides with the festival is worshiped by many households. The highlight of the festival is a series of boat races. These take place over three days and honour the twelfth century Khmer naval victories achieved under King Jayavarman VII.

Bon Om Thook is ancient; having its roots in a time when the Angkorian kings would test the fighting prowess of their warriors by holding competitions. The races were a form of training and a means by which the king could choose his champions. 

Ork Ambok​ (Khmer: អកអំបុក) is named after the rice dish which forms part of the Bon Om Thook ceremony. Rice is fried in the husk and then pounded with a giant pestle. The husks are removed and the special rice mixed with coconut and banana. This traditional Khmer dish is sold throughout the festival: Orm Ambok, Sampheah Preah Kae, and Bandaet Pratip

Sampheah Preah Kae​ (Khmer: សំពះព្រះខែ) is a ceremony in which salutations are made to the moon. After the Sampheah Preah Kae ceremony people gather at a pagoda at midnight for Ork Ambok

Bandaet Pratip (Khmer: បណ្ដែត​ប្រទីប) begins around 7 pm with illuminated boats taking to the water. Each boat represents a government ministry or state institution.

Memorize Day

Start Term 21-08-2010 => End Of Term 18-Nov2010

It like a dream one term had gone. We just started the term and the term finished. I think the time gone very fast, it didn't wait us. Do you agree? How hard you are trying? How much can you get?

I got many thing, experience, knowledge  from this term. How about all of you? 

I knew all of you are the first thing I got this term. You know when we were study how hard we worked together, and how fun we had together? Just close the eyes and think about this. I think that all of you may remember it. I didn't want to be away from all of you, but how can I stop the time? I can't stop the time but I just want to keep our friendship and relationship with all of you. If we can't study with each other, but we still  friends with each other. This is the second thing I could from this term.

From this term, I got many experience. Nobody always perfect and nobody always right. Everybody afraid bad and wrong. If you never wrong, how can you find right? It's similar to study also. I got many bad and wrong when I was studying. But I try my best to get right. 

Every teacher want their student to get the knowledge but they can't help us 100%. It is depend on us also. If you don't help yourself, nobody can help you. I'm a person that hate homework and assignment, but the teacher gave me so many assignment to do. Why teacher gave us a lot of assignment? Because the teacher want us to got the knowledge. If you don't do it, it doesn't matter. The more you try the more you get. 

This evening, teacher gave us many advice. Those advice were good for us in the future and some people may thing that it wasn't important. I didn't know what they think. They think that their parents can feed them forever? 

Finally, I'm very happy to know all of you and to be your friend. I think this day is the memorize day that I should remember wit all of you. I want to write more than this, but my English writing still weak. I hope  next term we can study with each other again, and thank you for your reading.

Any Mistake Please Forgive. Thanks Before Hand
