THE MOURNING OF MY AUNT

My aunt's name is Ming Ouk. She was death on Friday, November 17, 2010 at 8:05pm at my brother home, Vuthy, where's located near the Orussey market, and she was burned on Saturday, November 18, 2010 in the morning.

When I got a bad news from my parents who have taken part in the second day of mourning of my aunt, they were preparing to leave Phnom Penh to Sihanouk province.

Recently, I called to my younger brother, Lon Nara, living in Phnom Penh to tell him about it, but his phone turned off, and I sent sms to him and Tek Thyro, my cousin. Thyro replied me that he not yet received this news from brother Vuthy. I decided to send mail to him because I know that he was busy with his interpretation at the province. Luckily, I got his replied mail in the evening, and he told me that he will join the Seven Days Ceremony.

On  Wednesday, November 22, 2010 I left my office to take part in the Seven Days Ceremony of my aunt at my brother at Orussey market. When I arrived there, I saw some of relatives and some other people that I have never known before were sitting to listen to the Buddhist's sermon from a monk. 

I was sitting next to my brother and listen to the monk who was preaching. When the sermon was ended, all the listeners and I left the room and were sitting outside.

About twenty minutes late, we all have food such as Cambodian noodles and breath with curry. On the table there are eight people. Some of them are my relatives and my brother Bora. We were talking about new technology which was found by him. While we were chatting, I saw Tek Thyro. He also took part in it, too.

I left my brother home at 5:15pm, and I went to the parking car at Orussey market to get my car. I really didn't want to leave it earlier, but I have a duty to do it means I have to come back my office and join the meeting until 7:45pm.
