???????????

Do you think it is appropriate to share negative news, i mean bad news in our blog...
If you think it not good, stop right here dun continue reading this text.

Well, you all sure know that in last weekend, Phnom Penh held the annual water festival along the river side in front of the royal palace. No difference from any other year, people from the countryside poured in the city which made travelling difficult to make. But it's not the point m gonna tell you guys. Do you know that this year's water festival was more auspicious. Asean boat race was added. Ok let's get right to the point. ON the first or second day of the celebration, a terrible thing had happened. I was sad when watching this dreadful news on tele. 5 singaporeans were killed/drown in an accident. While rowing the boad along the river near the Phnom Penh Port just for fun after the tired competition, 22 singaporeans with boat were suddenly pulled into the river by the powerful TEK KUOCH (dunno what to write in English, you guys can help) because it was near the port. Among the 22, only 17 were saved.The rest were missing and their bodies were found the day after the accident after a searching compaign using more than 10 boats and 3 heli was made all day and night. A mourning ceremony had been held in Calmet Hospital where the bodies were carefully kept. Some senior officers and Ambassor of Republic of Singapore were there as well.

U see? This one is a very sad you. It sadden me lots. I am so attached with Singapore, I remember how happy my trip was in Singapore last two years. Often times I wonder why such thing happened when everyone was enjoying the celebration so much. Why????? I'm really sorry for the victims' families and relatives. M afraid that they might have bad impression that Cambodia is a dangerous place. OH??????

Don't carry too negative perception. It was a terrible accident; did no one expect this to happen.

The word Tek Kuoch, i think in English they said twisted water or sth... Not sure...
