I am so grateful with her , it was her who bring me to this “A Journey into Joy & Peace”.I admire her of her selfless in serving others, her hardworking , her humble etc etc ..
I always think to myself, we are all human beings if others can do it , so why can I ?Nothing is impossible …
I started off myself in helping on the fund-raising by selling off the 2nd Charity Art Auction and Exhibition ..When I first sold my first piece of the charity vouchers and followed by the second piece .. I feel so glad , happy and blessed that I am finally able to help so many people in needs ..and thankful of being given a chance , an opportunity to me to practice love ,caring . helping for the needy although it’s a hard work .

The true beauty of life is not about how happy, healthy or successful you are, it's about how many people are happy, healthy or successful, because of YOU!!!

The children in Cambodia has a brighter future, because someone from thousand miles away is willing to take a step ahead and make a difference, and inspire others to do the same way to make this world a better place.

This is what I call "Unconditional", giving without asking for return.

I thank Honey for being a caring, loving, committed, responsible and beautiful woman, her love is just like honey, enriched hundreds of lives.

I'm, very honored to be her friend.

Message from founder of Honey Child Development Centre


The 2nd Art Auction & Exhibition on 15th May 2010 has been so successfully organized. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has jointly made this event such a great success.
I was so excited and too happy on that night until my mind became blank when I was standing on the stage even I was accompanied by Owen, Mandy, Belle and Adrian. Thank you so much to Owen in guarding me to start my speech but yet my speech was incomplete. I wish to say more but I was too excited.
So many thoughts have come to my mind that night. My eyes were well with tears when I look at the crowd, looked at our lovely celebrities, all volunteers who has comes and the warmth feelings inside Penang Village.
I was thinking of my dad who I wish he can be with me in this wonderful event. He has once against me into art. He told me that ART cannot make a living, ART cannot make money. Now, he is so happy and proud of me. Art allows me to give my time and sharing my artistic skill with the Cambodian children. With ART, I’m having lots of happiness that money couldn’t buy.
On that night, I missed my dearest grandma deeply. How I wish she could see me standing here, but she is no longer with me now, I can’t share my stories and happiness with her any more. But I know that she is looking upon me now and smiling. I remembered once she was following up with me on my 1st Charity Art Exhibition, I will never forget her sweet smile when she was listening to me. I missed you, Ah Poh!
Missing my grandma, I am now recalling that I had once organized a small skill charity & exhibition at my art centre in the year 2007. The small fund was raised for Maha Karuna compassionate home located at Taman Midah, Cheras, KL.
In this journey of giving, I received so much. I received so much of joy and happiness when I step into Colors Of Cambodia. I could see so much of sweet smiles in return when I gave away the party pack to the school children. I received lots of friendship from everywhere, I received lot of new lessons in life to learn. Along with what I have gained and it became a great opportunity to organize this meaningful event.
At the same moment, I’m thinking of Cambodian children bare foots, their innocent eyes, their living and life, I learn to appreciate my life better. This journey into joy & peace is to create awareness and the joy of giving in the lesser children. The underprivileged children of Cambodia learn that they too are in the position to give. By giving away their art pieces, they receive care, attention and monetary assistance in return. This also becomes a good opportunity to educate our local children to be generous and to help others in need by sincerely contributing their skills and efforts in the form of arts.
So much to share and so much to tell and no words could express my appreciation to everyone.
A very BIG THANK YOU to all of you who has jointly holding my hand into this journey, and may all of us be blessed with blossom of happiness and peace.

Love, Joy & Peace

Message from General Advisor


Joy and Peace to All,

Joy, Peace, Happiness, is all creations of the mind. They don’t depend on outward conditions. They depend on INNER conditions. It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy, joyful and peaceful or otherwise. They are what you think about them. (Dale Carnegie)

This 2nd Charity Art Auction and Exhibition is held to raise much needed funds to benefit 2 worthy causes i.e. Kinrara Metta Buddhist Society Building Fund and Colors of Cambodia. Both these organizations are harbingers of Joy, Peace and Happiness.

All beings are interconnected. There is none who come here on their own. In this journey of LIFE let us sow seeds of happiness, joy and peace to others far and near, seen or unseen, friendly or unfriendly.

In GIVING we RECEIVE. How so? We receive inner peace and happiness which leads us to a healthy mind and body. In giving and sharing we receive gratitude and blessings. In giving we receive many happy smiles and pure rejoicing of countless mind and hearts. In giving we receive large doses of Positive Energy directed towards you in unseen waves. And the list goes on………

With folded palms and joyful heart I thank each and every one for giving with joy and peace.

Message from founder of Colors Of Cambodia



The staff and I at Colors of Cambodia greatly appreciate the efforts of those in Kuala Lumpur who have helped make this event possible! We believe art is an important form of communication that develops the mind and imagination, and induces a love for the world!


As a child, I spent hours and hours drawing, exploring and creating. My future started then. The Colors of Cambodia project is an attempt to give to children this same opportunity… an hour or two or more every day or week, playing, with art, letting the possibilities grow.


There is a potential greatness in Cambodia. I see this in the eager bright eyes, and innate artistic ability of the young. The Colors of Cambodia project is our way of helping the children of Cambodia find their own path to a future of fulfillment.
