-Keep on moving up!
- Life can be stressful when you are trying to balance a job and studies. Here are some ideas from other youths on how you can maximise your time.
1. Try to find work that is similar to your studies.
This way, the things you learn at each place will improve your performance at the other. Bel No Echana Jasmine, a chemistry student at the Royal University of Phnom Penh who also works at Western University, says, “I study chemistry and I work in a laboratory in Western University. Therefore, I can improve my skills in chemistry by knowing how to manage a laboratory, and I can get some experience by practicing whatever I study in class at my job.”
2. Get a job that requires a foreign language.
These days in Cambodia, applicants in any field of work are more attractive if they can speak a foreign language. Even if you have to do a job that you don’t really like, try to get a job that will allow you to practice a language such as English. “I work in Ilink International School as an English teacher, but my major is Khmer literature, so I have difficulty speaking. However, I can build my experience during my part-time job by learning how to teach English.”
3. Find a part-time job doing something positive.
Rather than just making some extra money, try to find a job that is involved with an organisation that is doing something positive for Cambodia. It might be a school, NGO or a socially-engaged company. “Before started my part-time job, I didn’t know what happened or what developed in my country, but now I can participate in the society and meet lots of people and take on more responsibility,” Bel No Echana Jasmine says.
4. If you have to miss a class, make sure you do the reading.
If you are trying to juggle work and school, you will occasionally have to miss one or the other. “Although I study two majors, I can manage both of them by occasionally saving my time by avoiding the lessons and reading at my house.” While Lift does not encourage students to miss class, it happens sometimes, and when it does, you can save your exam scores by hitting the books.
5. When the weekend comes around, take a break.
If you try to be super productive all the time, you will burn out at the age of 30 and go crazy. When you have some free time, do not feel pressured to do work. You have earned some time off. Sit down and watch a movie, read a book, or go out with your friends. You deserve it!
It is the first story, i feel absolutely astonised!!!!!!
-Please use your language
While a majority of people in Cambodia say that Khmer literature is in a bad way, few people are doing anything to stop its demise.
In order to fill this void, the Nou Hach Literary Association, the Association of Nagn Sab Brus and the Association of Vocational Training of Rural Poets have created the “Competition Poetry Programme” to strengthen literature and literacy in the Kingdom.
Khem Chan So Ah Haing, director of the Nou Hach Literary Association, said that the number of entrants in the annual competition has been increasing, and that entries are diverging from traditional styles of poetry.
“Old poets liked to write only about love. In contrast, today’s generation of poets write more about theory and innovative methods to resolving societal problems,” he said.
Por Savorng, who has won second prize in both the poetry and short story writing contests, is now a coordinator of New Sun Printing House.
“I entered my poem in the competition because I wanted to show my great achievement to humanity and reveal to young people the social impact they can have through poetry,” he said.
Khem Chan So Ah Haing said that the competition receives 400 poems and 200 short stories each year, adding that entries should expose personal views, show a strong vision and have an effective conclusion.
This year’s competition will be open for poetry and short story entries until March 1. Stories should be brought to the second floor of the Buddhist Institute, which is located next to NagaWorld Casino. Each candidate can submit one short story and one poem. Short stories should be limited to five pages and poems should be under 15 pages.

Clear your skin and your mind

Most young adults are very concerned about their face, and acne in particular. But have no fear. Lift has asked Dr Thay Kea, who specialises in skin diseases at the Phnom Penh Skin Clinic, to share his expertise on why acne happens, how to chase it away and how to keep it at bay.
Why Acne comes up
Hormonal Acne: This type of blemish is the inevitable fate of both girls and boys who are hitting their teenage years. This acne is created by angtrosen, which are small bubbles that appear on your skin and go away after some time. Some people want to use powder to rid their faces of this acne, but it is useless to do this. Powder can actually create more acne. The best thing to do is to keep your face clean and let the blemishes go away by themselves.
Drug-related acne: Acne can be accelerating by taking pain killers or steroids, which make you want to eat more food. While these drugs may have benefits for pain or fighting disease, it is likely that they will increase acne.
Sun-related acne: Sunshine can make your face form more oil and make you have rougher skin. Staying out of the sunlight, or wearing oil-free sunscreen can not only help prevent acne but improve your complexion in general.
Stress-related acne: Being stressed has been shown to cause acne, even among older people who don’t usually have acne problems. Touching acne also makes your problem greater and more painful. To prevent stress-related acne check out Tith Chandara’s article on this page and learn how to manage stress and take care of your mind and body.
How to protect your face
There are plenty of things you can do to protect yourself from acne, and most of them are quite natural and only involve some slight behavioural changes. You can protect your skin from sunlight by using hats or shirt-sleeves. You should not use powder mixes or creams unless they have been specifically prescribed by a doctor. Furthermore, you should not eat greasy food, which will surely make your skin more oily and increase the likelihood of an acne break-out.
Getting rid of acne
If your face has problems, you should go to a clinic that specialises in skin care. Otherwise, you may make the problems with your face more serious.
Keep your dirty, oily fingers away from your face and follow the drug or lotion regimens laid out by a doctor.
You should not use cucumbers, honey, bananas or other fruits on your face. It is better to eat them so you will have more protein and vitamins in your system to keep your skin fresh and your face beautiful.

Rising in the kitchen
There are many success stories in Cambodia that begin with poverty, and Lach Chan Hok’s life is no exception. But the path that he has taken out of the provinces has been particularly difficult and surprising. Today, Lach Chan Houk is a well-respected pastry chef and food designer for NagaWorld, but as a teenager he had no job, no father, didn’t have money to go to school and was addicted to drugs. Lach Chan Houk’s life turned around when he met people from the Mith Samlanh organisation, which works with vulnerable urban youth.
At first he was resistant to giving up his drug use, but he thought that if he continued, he would never have a chance at a better future, so he went to Mith Samlanh for assistance. At the organisation he decided to study how to work in a restaurant, doing things like cooking, mixing wine with food and other skills related to the service industry. According to Chi Vone, superviser of the cooking programme at Mith Samlanh, the organisation provides many skills for orphans or young children who do not have the means to study at good schools. Therefore, the organisation teaches students under 24 years old to work in places such as salons, restaurants, tailor shops and so on. Of all these jobs, the skill that really attracted Lach Chan Houk was designing food, especially breads and pastries. “I worked in the FCC along the riverside, and one of the chefs who worked there taught me how to design new bread in strange styles,”
he said, adding that he spent seven or eight months studying this skill. Later, he applied to work in NagaWorld with the support of the director and staff at Mith Samlanh. As he talked about his first day on the job, a smile spread across Lach Chan Houk’s face. He said that he never thought that he could reach the point in his life when he could work in a modern place like NagaWorld. He currently works at night making many different types of breads and pastries. Some specialities of his are moon cakes and kazoo cakes, which he said are unique from other types of cakes. Looking back on his life, Lach Chan Houk said that drug users should stand up and fight the drugs and refuse to let themselves be dominated by their habit. He said it helps to find something, like baking, to be passionate about and proud of.
