Reviewing Application Software: WorkTime

Review:
           WorkTime is software that can track or tells you about how many time you have spent on doing something, and it can collect any different activities that you have done on your computer. For instance, when you activate or start using your computer, and click start on its button of a WorkTime software, a clock begins to tick, and drops down menus for you to differentiate your time among separate projects or activities. After all, when you have done your activities, it will report a window showcases everything on your computer. Plus, you can also view your productivity three different ways such as through the calendar, a spreadsheet-like grid, or a bar chart.
           Moreover, by using this WorkTime software, you will find many different reports looking at overall data analysis, program utilization, and how long you focused on a specific project. However, it can make your computer a little bit slow, because it runs all the time you turn on your computer (when you click start on it). Also, you can have only 30 day for using this program after you have installed it, because this program is 30-day trial period.

I will try to test it more and more later. The reason I choose to use this software is that I am a student, I can´t manage my time well. As a result, I need it to help me in order to manage my time properly.

Therefore, I really need it because it might help me to manage my time with all of my works easily. Also, it can track all my activities on my laptop, as well.

Review Application Software:  Small Business Trends

Khmer New Year


       ( This is a picture when Cambodian go to the pagoda )
            Khmer New Year is a traditional new year day in Cambodia. It celebrates in April or sometimes in March depending on a day in the calendar of each year. It always celebrates 3 days in a year. During these 3 days, all Cambodian always go to the pagoda and bring some foods for monk. They can go not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon, as well. Some people like to go to the pagoda in the afternoon, while some of them usually go to the pagoda in the morning. Moreover, in the afternoon and evening they prefer to play popular games or go for a walk instead. On Khmer New Year many people who live in towns or places which are very far from the capital city, they often come and visit the capital city because on that day in the capital city is very happy and has a lot of fun activities to do. In contrast, many people who live in the capital city prefer to go to their hometown or visit another cities or provinces instead. Because they think that they live in the capital city every day so it’s just the same activities and not so interesting for them, while people who live in another province think that it’s really interesting. All Cambodian really love this traditional holiday and they always enjoy their holiday on that day.

My Lovely Pet



            I like pet. Especially, dogs. In my house has a lot of dogs. My dogs have different kinds of each other. Some dogs are small, big, short, and tall. Moreover, their body hair colors are not the same too. Some dogs have black body hair; some have white, some have brown, and some dogs have a mix color body hair. When I see all of my dogs, I never feel lonely, bored, or tired. However, I always happy when I  see all of them. They are very smart, lovely, and they have a good behave. For example, when I am eating something they never sit near me. However, when I am alone and do not do or eat anything they always come and play with me. On the other hand, sometime they do a terrible thing too. Sometime they defecate in the house and make the house messy. When they do like that I’m very angry, and I want to hit them, but when I want to hit them, they always run away from me. Sometime they make a putrid smell in the house, but I think animals do not know and understand everything like us as a human, so they cannot do everything perfectly as we need. However, I still love them because when I play with all of them, I feel very happy and never feel lonely.

My first week at Zaman University.







            My first time at Zaman University was on 12th Tuesday, October, 2011. This  time was very important to me, because I needed to get some information from this  university. When I first came to this University, I was very interested and excited, but I was a little bit scared too, because I thought I was a  new student and I did not know about the University’s rules, especially I had never known anyone in the university before. However, surreal; it was different from my thinking. All of teachers and all students in the university were very friendly and kind. They explained all things that related with Zaman University to me. My favorite subject is the Integrated Main Course, because I truly want to be the best in academic English. I think that I’m a lucky guy because I have the chance to study the skill that I want, and especially I meet a lot of  professors with a qualify at teaching. I hope that to be successful in my major and become a brilliant student.

Bayon Temple





Bayon  temple is a popular temple in Cambodia.  Because  it  was  made  by  Cambodians  without  using  any  machines,  and  they  used  only  stones  to  build  this  temple.  The  importance  of  this  temple  is  that  it  has  a  lot  of  meanings  in Cambodia’s  culture. Bayon temple is the spectacular central temple of the ancient city of Angkor Thom. This temple is located to the North of the famous Angkor Wat temple. This temple was designed with many towers and on the top of the tower it has 4 giant stone faces. One facing outward, and keeping watches at each compass point. This wants to show the power of King JayavarmanVII that he was the only one person, but he can control everything in Cambodia. That is why he built this temple with the 4 giant stone faces. Bayon  temple  is  the  good  place  to  visit.  It is a touristy place. This temple has views with Angkor wat temple, being the favorite monument of visitors. The Bayon temple is in Angkor Tom and it’s the second most important monument to visit in Siem  Reap after Angkor wat .  It is amazing with its design, architecture and decoration. The temple is simple magnificent. Of course, magnitude wise less than Angkor Wat. It is famous of its giant stone faces.  Moreover, it is a touristy and good place to visit. If you visit this place you will know that it’s related to Khmer's history and beliefs. It shows about  how Khmer people are great and be able to build that kind of monument. Everybody is wondering about it. In addition, many tourists come to Cambodia to visit and see it with their own eyes; they enjoy doing some research about this temple and be surprised. However, the surrounding and the tall towers make Bayon temple a bit dark flat near sunrise and sunset. So it’s the best way to visit Bayon temple when there is a plenty of  light, and that time is at 10 A.M to around 4 P.M which most visitors prefer to go. To  sum  up,  Bayon  temple  is  the  best  temple  in  Cambodia  after  Angkor  Wat  temple.  It’s an interesting temple in Cambodia, and this temple is really important for Cambodia’s culture.
