"Anyone, take me a mug of coffee!"- What? Would you fancy how large of a mug?"Just a large one. Wonder? You will then see."- Playful ! We'd see you drink many a jug.
"How if I'd have several 'many a mug'?"
- Oh, the Guinness Book would sure record 'you'.
"I don't think so, but maybe just 'my name.'
- Right. Only your 'name'. How funny of you !
"How -- pretty sure -- much would I sell my fame?"
"I don't think so, but maybe just 'my name.'
- Right. Only your 'name'. How funny of you !
"How -- pretty sure -- much would I sell my fame?"
- For nothing, 'Fame is not a game,' I guess.
"And 'tis just for fun, I have to confess."
- 'tis one of the Best jokes I've ever heard.
"Okay, its First Day, not second and third."

On June 2, one of my foreign friends, an Australian writer Carly Beth Nugent wondered how I wrote a poems/tales, if I wrote them in Khmer first and translated them into English later. This is an instance of my answers for this morning. Thank Carly.

Monghak Yong, it's something about waking up in the morning and strongly feeling like having a coffee, then suppose you were at a cafe and beckoned a waiter/waitress for a "mug" of coffee.

Monghak Yong, you're clever so you can guess well. Some of my students are now doctors, architects, professors, sub-deans of state universities, etc.

Monghak Yong, you must wonder a lot of things about me if you see me in person. I worked as a translator for the UN WFP (Cambodia Office, from July 2000 to November 2002) and I worked as news writer for more than a dozen of pro-democracy print media for nearly two decades. Some reporters know my name but not me in person. Some high ranking officials and politicians know me.

Now, I work as poet/writer/translator.
