Good Day Vs. Bad Day

In My Life on Monday, April 3, 2006 at 9:25 AM

Today has been a good and bad day for me.. Which part of the day do you wanna know first? The good or the bad one? Let me begin it chronologically then..

The previous night my family and I went out for dinner at Master Suki Chroy Changva.. It was a lovely dinner. Everyone seemed happy. All the food ran out at god’s speed. As a matter of fact, it is once in a blue moon that my whole family can go out and enjoy ourselves together.. Other than those days, everyone is busy working. But, who knows what were about to happen following this nice meal? At 2:00 AM that night, the food began its action.. I started to feel some pain in my stomach and sth sour was rushing up my throat.. A moment later, this uneasy rush made me throw up twice.. I really feel sorry for my mom. She had to wake up the middle of the night coining me and taking care of me.. I love u, mom! :) U r always sweet and caring…

Later in the morning saw my good news coming.. Mr. Chau Sa, Public Affairs Officer of the US Embassy, called to inform me that my Fulbright application to the University of Hawaii has been accepted. He said that the Fulbright board had allocated more fundings for Cambodia, and that I should not worry about my chance of going.. It’s very likely that I’d be going, owing to my status as the first alternate candidate. Apart from that, I also got a ring from Sister Louise of 0the English Language Support Unit, Royal University of Phnom Penh. She has been contacted by Boston College, another school of my choice, to give an assessment of my qualification. I’ll be meeting her tomorrow. Wish me good luck, please!

Well, despite all the hard time I had early in the morning, today was not really as bad as I thought it was…
