I am uniquely created - you will never find another me on this earth, just as you will never find another you.

I love anything except pork and flying roaches. I am a risk taker. I can travel in groups and be on my own. I can also take solo trips and be at ease with chatting up total strangers.

I have one love - Jesus - and many passions which include traveling, writing and capturing baboons at their cutest on my digital camcorder.

I hope to get at least one book published. My son is my motivator and fan..... I finally understand the meaning of the word 'fan'. My son, my avid fan, stirs up my passion in writing stories for kids, even though the story is still in pieces in my thinking machine.

Well, maybe if you read more of my articles and I get my articles rated higher, you will see my book on the shelf sooner - my own bookshelf for my son's eyes only perhaps!

After five months of being a homemaker and improving my writing skills, I have finally achieved, a few hours before 2008, my final goal for 2007 - to have an on line domain which I write articles to highlight beginning businesses in third world countries. My domain also enables business links for mutual benefits. This personal project brings under one roof my love for traveling, making international connections, writing, Educational Technology as well as social work.

As of March, I am the site steward for Seafood at Food & Drink > Cuisine & Food. In June, I accepted the role of Channel Steward at Food & Drink. I am glad to have been given an opportunity to serve the Helium Community in a larger capacity.

Blessings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus!

My parents always told me ...

I would be a great musician. Perhaps that will come true soon.

My childhood ambition ...

none at nine - my teacher told me to go sell eggs at the wet market.

My favorite memory ...

of my parents asking me what I wanted. I said a piano. Dad never kept to his promise. Mum did - not a piano, but a violin though we could ill afford it.

Why I write ...

to express my thoughts, as my legacy, to release the inner strengths

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

books and articles on writing, teaching, anything new to me

My first job ...

typing addresses of clients on envelopes on my eldest sister's manual typewriter.... I was paid $17 plus for completing hundreds of them.

My best moment ...

singing my favourite hymn at a choir audition to the piano playing of my choir conductor

My inspiration ...

God who has my name written on his palm, and my life written in the heavenly books

Travel > Asia Travel destinations: Villageworks Songkhem, Cambodia

1 of 1

Villageworks Cambodia is where you find Songkhem - a glimpse of hope for the starving poor. The souvenirs are the works of villagers. 'Songkhem' is the Khmer word for 'hope'.

Villageworks Songkhem brings a message that is entirely opposite to the Museum's. Situated just opposite the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, the souvenir shop is aptly named Villageworks Songkhem.
