wow, many things to clear on the last day of the week and also last day at work coz next week will be on holiday again.
this is the 2nd year after i wrote Ka Touch, i still miss the moment i wrote this story. the first which allow me to start is the title. i don’t know why i won’t write the story if i don’t get the right title or the title i like. Ka touch is a name which allow me to complete a short story due to it own title.
this year i will send my short story - a family for Nou Hach Literary Journal,
not to win the contest but to contribute to the Khmer literature.
i hope i can go and visit Royal University of Fine Art,
in mean time, see you around the week or in next two weeks,

congratz again Bong. I absolutely love your writing and this one in particular. Keep up the work and let keep us informed of the story. I also love the picture (cover) of the book as well.
Fantastic work! I am sure we’ll be able to see more Khmer literature works on the Web.
I read your novel “Ka Touch”. What i was so sorry was the man were attached by car.
hmmm how can i get that novel when i am so far away!
Great job, Khmerbird. I wish I could do the same someday ‘coz lately I am so interested in Khmer literature too.
thank everybody for your encouragement,
K1,where r u actually? the world is always open,wherever you are … i can send to your door!
Bopha, glad that you want to try … i still have few women role that i don’t really know how to build the background and improvise the their actions and feeling..
If you want to try and i can propose you a role.
what do you think?
hmmm such as?
Thanks for your kind Khmerbird , rite now i live in Florida. All the best !
Khemerak Baksey,
Great short story! I like it. I don’t want to spoil the ending. So, Kawn (the husband) ’s profession in the city is some job I wouldn’t be proud of.
What to read that story? No matter where you are. Just have the Unicode installed and click on the link below here.

thank you vanak for your comments,
yeah you are right, his job is not a right one. he shouldn’t choose it. but in a way i just want to tell that sometime we need to do what is necessary to do, even it is not a right thing to do.
i still keeping asking myself if one day i would be able to write a real story about gagnster,
coz in fact, the original title i planed to put it: Phnom Penh Gangster. but it doesn’t work much for me to write about black story.
in my list i still want to write a black story, maybe one day!
Bopha, i got two women roles:
first woman is a young pretty one, but so decided. one day she decided to go and sleep with a man for the very first time in her life. coz she like him and believe in him. she doesn’t care much how he is going to act back but she got no regrets.
the second one is a protocol woman, born in a rich family. she never got a boyfriend. and one day she accept an arranged marriage from the family. she realized later that her husband married her not because he love her, but for some business purpose.
both plays the same important roles in the story,
which one you prefer to take?
Both roles are far from my images. When I first read your offer I thought I just could not make up my mind to choose.
I can either write them both or not, but as my first challenge…I’ll choose the second role. Okay, if we start to write, I just have to understand the story background too. Where to start?
ben i am glad that you accept to take the second role. I have wrote you an email.
