6:38- Woke up at 5ish this AM and couldn't get back to sleep, so here I am.  Phnom Penh's Road 271 is alive with car engines and horns,  and from the sounds of it, many more folks like me have begun their day.  What is this day going to bring?

9:13- Must refresh on concepts to share with TLL on building a climate of reading. A climate of reading entails motivation and discipline.  For instance, you must make efforts to build time, structured or not, into your daily existence. From waking time to turning in for the night, you could reflect on various forms of reading you do and for what purposes: leisure, information access, reflection-editing, skimming/scanning to get a view of the text or merely spotting for a particular piece of info.  What next? ... How do participants share their reading discoveries, or is that even necessary? For the fun of it, shared reading could further encourage everyone to pick up new and different book/passage titles from one's favorite genre.  Shared reading likewise serves as forum for advertizing a variety of articles, stories and other passages.  Results could be the start of lifelong reading habits, excitement and text-driven enthusiasts!

3:40- Noticed the new issues of BHG and Southern Living.  Am wondering what's inside of the two mags, but must not get into its pages just yet.  It would be a special treat to wait til later, when day's demands come to end, and opening the fresh-smelling magazine pages unfold new ideas to browse or adopt, project-wise!

5:25- Off to unwind at Raffles ... Singapore's elite, colonial  hotel in the midst of all modern booming establishments in the city of Phnum Penh!
