Andrea joins CIA Football Team

Our role as parents is to provide everything that our children needs, so when my daughter Andrea told me that she wants to join the school’s football team, I never had a second thought on allowing her. Despite of being the only girl in the all boys team, her determination’s not moved. I really admire her courage to be good if not the best in every activity that she is into and I hope others will be inspired to follow her examples I am so proud of you baby! Special thanks to Coach Ken for the photos and continuous training of the CIA Football team. Tweet This...

Family Sojourn in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Malaysia Truly Asia! That is how I am going to describe my family trip last 30 April-2 May. We have waited for almost a year since Boss Nick booked our tickets to Kuala Lumpur as a gift to the family and finally the long waiting is through. Together with Manang Lucre, Pong, Andrea, Aaron, and Aiken, we all packed our bags and headed to one of the first world countries in Asia. Knowing that we have very limited amount of time to stroll around the city, we decided to visit the places that will be fun and exciting for the kids. When we landed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport-LCCT, my cousin Taj Mahal was already waiting for us at Old Town Coffee Shop. It’s such a blessing to have someone we know in the city for we managed to save a lot of money...

Sihanoukville, A Perfect Destination for Beach Lovers in Cambodia

Last weekend, all the staff and teachers at Cambodia International Academy were treated for a 2-day beach fun at Sihanoukville, the top notch beach destination in Cambodia. The trip started at 7:30 with a bumpy bus ride matching with ear splitting Khmer music which made most of the passengers delirious on the way. I felt actually sick within the first hour of the travel and I kept on praying to survive without puking in my place, well I guess you can imagine how I look all throughout the 4 hour ride. Arrived at 12 noon, we all headed immediately to our hotel rooms to place our bags and soon we went to the seaside for our lunch. Occheateal Beach is the best place for swimming and seafood. There are plenty of cottages for everyone to rent and food is not...

Boat Race at CIA Campus

Before we started our school year, we had a good understanding that our lessons must be incorporated with local Cambodian traditions to help the kids get a better understanding why these traditions are celebrated. During November, Cambodians look forward in celebrating Water Festival where millions of people gather in the city to watch the colorful boats and fireworks at night. And for our school activity, Teacher Chris Frost of Grade 10 and I agreed to conduct a small boat race for our students. What’s interesting here is the boat must be powered by a dishwashing liquid. The students were stunned when they learned about this and most of them thought how this will work. Here is the criteria for winning: 1. The boat most be no more than 150 mm. 2. Students...

Korean BBQ

We’ve been going to a new restaurant called Korean BBQ for quite some time now. It’s located at the top floor of Sovannah Mall and they have different types of meats for grilling. You can choose from plain or marinated pork, beef, and chicken. They also serve seafood for those who are not into meats and a hot pot mix for those who loves soup. This place became an instant favorite because it give the kids a chance to enjoy the meal by simply cooking their own food. Kahit mejo natatalsikan na sila ng mantika, sige pa din I’m thinking of buying the same cookware because the one they have in the resto has a combined grill and pot in the middle. I wonder if it’s available here in the city. Anyhow, I think I can place an order at Ebay and ship...
