The First's in your life

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The First's in your life

Post by Duncan »

Life itself is a first and depending on if you are looking forward or backwards it can be both long and short. So recently I had the opportunity to clear out one of my garden sheds, for a intended garage sale. The two boxes in the far corner had been sitting there unopened since 1995, covered by junk and protected by several webs of redback spiders, and I knew those boxes contained books and photos of my first marriage so they were not very important. The wooden boxes, which were old beehive supers, disintegrated as soon as I touched them. The white ants had long since had their meal and moved on and the only thing holding the top to the bottom of the box was the difference in gravity.

Now I would not expect everyone to remember their first words they spoke, or their first steps they took, maybe their first day at school, if you ever went to school, but you would remember your first job wouldn't you. And your first car you owned, and your first girlfriend, and as much as you may want to forget it, your first marriage.


After opening the first box I realized how valuable the contents were, as they had photos of some of my firsts

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

my first moto... a kreidler flory 3-gang... it was the state-of-the-art thing you could drive around on, by 15, with a max speed of 25km/h (officially).

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
