As you all know, on the 26th of May, the Physics department hosted a competition known as the Water Rocket Car Race. It’s a combination of the two highly enjoyable competitions from last year, Mousetrap Car and Water Rocket.

Whether it goes fast or slow, straight or curved, it all depends on slight technical differences that determines the winner.The entire school had been gearing up for the competition for a few days now. Everywhere you looked you could see students holding wheels, spray bottles, and pumps. Everybody was trying their best to make their car go straight and far.

struck everyone as they arrived at school was the heart-pounding music and the nice shades. It seemed like it was going to be a fun day. We had to wait a while until Mr. Merkin called all of us to line up to take photos of our cars and us. And then it was time to race.

He called participants class by class, each group releasing their cars and travelling perpendicular to the starting line.

“Not Again”. I was reluctant to join the event as I thought the process of making a rocket-car was too time-consum-ing and was just a rehash of past year water rocket and mouse trap competitions. However, my team and I man-aged to make a car in time for the competition. The com-

but I’m sure some of you have some ideas about who the winners are. Even if you didn’t win, I urge you to still join other competitions in the future for this isn’t just about winning; it’s about enjoying the learning process as well.

I would like to thanks our school and phys-ics teachers, Mr. Gurkan Cil, Mr. Davut Aslan, Mr. Enis Gokgoz and Mr. Mustafa Ozgur for organizing this unforgettable competition.

The race started at 1:00 pm as expected and the competition started with the 12th grades. Mr. Gurkan was instructing the competitors, class by class how to set up and start their car. During the race, we could predict the winner of the competition already because we could see a few of the cars went extremely far compared to the others. Finally, the competition ended and all competitors went back home with tired but happy faces after enjoying this fun contest.

I would like to extend my thanks to all 654 students, assistant teachers and teachers who joined the Water Rocket Car Race 2012 for making this competition the most participated in activity of any science activity in school history.

M. Gurkan CIL.

The water rocket car competition is about team work. Each member of the team must give ideas and work together. In my opinion this is a very good event for increasing co-operation with each other.

On the 26 May 2012 we had a water car race. Every car looked nice and some went -

ter and gas, but then one of the tanks didnt work and we had to re-adjust some parts. When we decided to show it in the competition one of the tanks still didnt work, so we had to release it by hand. Because of the low water capacity it only went 17m instead of 35m. Even though we didn’t win, I am still proud of my group and hope to make a better water rocket car for the competition next year.

By Sunly Lim 7-B

The water rocket car competition was very cool. I was very happy and nervous on the day. I liked our water rocket car because it was so big. The most exciting thing is we worked and painted it together. I enjoyed it because I got to drive our car.

I remember the water rocket car race day because it was fun. me and my friends made a big water rocket car but it didnt travel very far because of a small problem. But we still enjoyed it. I knew before that we wouldn’t win but it didn’t matter. To me it was important that everyone enjoyed it. I had never seen this before so I was very excited and I would like to thank our physics club teacher Mr. Mustafa Ozgur for letting us work on an interesting project.

By Vingou Norak Phal 7-B

It was an awesome activity. I really enjoyed the water rocket car race. We went to the dormitory together with our teacher to make our car and paint it. Our car was not very fast but it had a sterring mechanism like a real car! It looked good on race day and went a long distance. We really enjoyed this activity. We have lots of great memories of this day together with our teacher.

10-A tool a class trip to Malaysia and Singapore. On the morning of 12 May, we met up at Phnom Penh Inter-national Airport and went to Kuala Lumpur which is the capital city of Malaysia. We arrived at 11.20am and took a bus to Citin Hotel. After our exhausting journey, we had lunch and went to the KLCC tower. The next day we went to Genting Mountain. We enjoyed many new things and ex-perienced a lot. The day after, we went to Sunway Lagoon. The same day at 11:45pm we took a bus to Singapore. We arrived there at 5:00 am and we took a taxi to the hotel. At 10:00am we went to Sentosa Island. It was big and we were very happy. After that, we went to Marina Bay Sands and went to the cinema. We watched “Avenger”. After the cinema, we went to the bus station to have dinner and came back to Kuala Lumpur. We slept in at the hotel till 11:00am because we were tired and we came back Phnom Penh at 3:00pm. Thank you so much to our homeroom teacher and our assistant teacher for taking care of all of us.

Being in the 12th grade is tough. We will soon have to face the real world as adults. At the same time, we feel pressure caused by various factors like always waiting nervously for exams. 12th graders have to go through seven examinations. However, it was time for 12-F to put all those concerns behind us and rejoice with a three-day, two-night trip to Siem Reap following the first term national examination.

Around 6:30am everyone arrived and felt ready to wel-come the upcoming freedom, laughter and happiness. Of course, this was our first time in six years to be to-gether as one with nearly all the members of the origi-nal 12-F attending. It ended up being the most hilarious and wonderful trip of our high school lives!At 7:00, our adventure started. We killed time by watching a movie on the bus, listening to music and taking funny photos and videos. Even inside the bus,

we enjoyed every bit of our time and it seemed that the journey went really fast. At 2:30pm, we arrived at our destination -- The ancient and prosperous city of Siem Reap. We first toured the historical museum of Siem Reap. A staff volunteered to guide us through the whole huge, well-designed and sophisticated building. We felt as if we were taking a great journey back in time and learning some surprising facts about our Kingdom of Wonders. After that, we went shopping at the night market where we enjoyed bargaining and feeling free to buy whatever we wanted. The next day, we went to the Greatest Temple of all, Angkor Wat, one of the true wonders of the world and the golden heart to all Cambodians. We enjoyed taking photos of the temple and viewing the reliefs on the walls of the temple. We were very proud of the work done by Khmers in the Angkor Era. The weather was cloudy and a little rainy at first but started to shower when we arrived at Angkor Thom and

Bayon. Only about ten of us viewed the temple while the others stayed in the bus to watch the temples through their foggy windows since it was raining so hard. The ones who explored the temples eagerly searched for the dinosaur carving on the temple’s wall, which they had heard from many recent visitors. But unfortunately they could not find it as some parts of the temple were seriously damaged. So we returned to the hotel and relaxed for a little while and then went to the night market again for our last day of shopping. The journey was by far the best experience 12-F has had

together. We were really pleased with every moment of our trip. A big thanks goes to our chaperones, who ac-companied us and looked after us. Last but not least, to my dear classmates, this trip was the best not because we went to an amazing place although that was helpful, but more importantly because of all of you. Just so you know, time is always passing but my memories of you are never fading.

By Catherosette Meas 8-E

Generally, capturing photos is quiet enjoyable but when it comes to Biology photos it is even more interesting! Because we get to ex-plore the environment around us not just people. Even though they might be simple you will see how it is related to Biology in some way. Thanks to the teachers who organized this interesting contest that everyone would love to join, because it helped to improve student’s photo shooting skills and learn some extra things while taking those pictures.

This pink blossomed lotus picture was taken by me on my New Year trip in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It looks so peaceful in the water. Its color and its shadow on the water just look so wonderful and gor-geous. I like it very much. I just hope we all live in peace and have a beautiful life like this lovely piece of nature.

I visited the house of my brother’s friend with my brother. I saw something move on to a dead tree branch. It was a lizard. While my brother was talking with his friend, I took his camera and took some pictures of that lizard. They came out nice since my brother had adjusted the settings on the camera already… So a really big thanks to him.

This was the day we’d all been waiting for: Class Day! We had been planning this day since when we were 7th graders but at that time we knew we weren’t old enough to take the responsibilities, so we all patiently waited for 8th grade.

Months before Class Day, all of us were very excited even though we had a long period of time yet to go through. All of us had to put tremendous effort in making plans and helping out as much as pos-sible. Starting from zero, all of us were assigned what to do and we started to practise eagerly.Some practised drama; others Apsara dancing and organ playing. We had our rough times though. The problem was that we couldn’t really get together. When some of us were free others weren’t avail-able. So we came up with a schedule that everyone had to follow. But that wasn’t the only problem we had. Problems kept coming and time was getting short. But on the positive side we had each other. Teamwork played the greatest part of our success.

“Physics T-shirt design contest was a competitive and fun game. It was all about cre-ativity in designing a T-shirt picture. Having this kind of competition once in a while is rather refreshing for me. I take this competition as an opportunity to express your imagination and ideas, making them come to life. Not only do I make myself a T-shirt design, I get a chance to see other amazing designs. The main purpose of the design is “Physics” which seems quite general but it seems to be getting narrower as I think of it more. My design doesn’t really mean much because it is a doodle. I captured all the images from my mind and put them into one. The one thing I like about hav-ing this contest is that I have an opportunity to relearn old physics lessons that I had forgotten. By making competitions like this, students are encouraged to once again to learn subjects they’re working on and make them long lasting memories. Well, I think that is my opinion. Anyway, I hope you feel the same xD.”

Plants sustain the continuity of their species through generative reproduction either with seeds or through vegetative reproduction that uses suckers, bulbs, or tubers. We can observe these methods of reproduction in nature, but we tend to overlook how wonderfully these pro-cesses are carried out without any failure and, perhaps due to their small size, we underesti-mate the role that seeds play on the planet.

Many important characteristics exist in seeds. Seeds are equipped with all the necessary in-formation about the branches and leaves of the plant which they will become, as well as the number and shape of these leaves. Within the

Bees are the most important group among the insects that carry out the task of pollination. When bees are mentioned, most people think of the honeybee, but bumblebees also serve man-kind.

The reunion event was a great experience for me as well as for my former classmates. We had the chance to gather together after a quite long period of time after we graduated. I think it was a great event which was held on Sunday; which is usually the day where most of the university or college students have free time from their schoolwork. Almost all of my friends was able to join the event, however some of them who are currently studying abroad was not able be a part of this amazing experience. Personally, I would say that I was happy to be able to join the event; I had lots of fun with my friends; and it made me feel that the friendship I had with my friends will always be the same.

About 10 gen-erations were invited, that was nearly 20 classes and there should have been at least more than 50 Zaman graduates would have joined, somehow only around 40 students showed up. However, we still put on a great and fun show along with great food and desserts which were served for all of us. We sang, we danced, we played hardcore games and we all acted like there was no tomorrow. I al-most forgot the true meaning of happiness until I

know that I have not laughed that hard ever since July 2011. It was truly a pleasure that Zaman had showed deep concerns on graduated students and created such an unforgetable moments for all of us. I hope there will be more in the future and more student will show up.


By Sorida Prak 12-F (2011) 27 th of May 2012 was a marvelous reunion of the girls side generations ever. Even though not all of the classes attended but at least there still some classes came. The event lasted from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Our teachers had arranged us our lunch as well as games. We were enjoy-ing with pulling rope, dancing for chairs, sing-ing and lucky draw. Most of us got prizes back home from the lucky draw. We all got sweat to head to toe and of course running out of energy. It was an exhausting day but we had so much fun anyway that’s why we said the reunion this year was a remarkable event ever. I’ d love to express my thanks to teachers, assistants and all stuffs of Zaman International School for ev-erything they have done for us. At least we felt like we were in high school students once again

Reunion, if I think about re-union day of Zaman International School, I feel happy and I really want to join this event. This is my

again in Zaman International School, on May 27, 2012. I’ve met many different generations from the same school, which is Zaman International School. They were all happy while joining this event (Reunion Day); I also felt the same way as they did while play-ing with different generations. My friends and me played many dif-ferent kinds of games. Therefore, this is my greatest reunion that I’ve ever seen.


We had a wonderful trip to Siem Reap on the King’s birthday. There were 12 people who joined this trip, 9 students, our homeroom teacher Mr. Mustafa Akpinar with his wife and our assistance teacher. The holiday was so long, so we decided to stay there for 3 nights.The first day we met in front of our school and we de-parted around 7:00 am. We were supposed to go at 6:00 am but we were waiting for a late student. Mr. LATE… We were really excited. The journey took over 5 hours from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. We arrived there in the afternoon. Surely we were starving but we were tired more, so we had lunch quickly and everyone went to the rooms to rest in the hotel.We could not go out because of the weather. It was raining but the hotel was very comfortable with a large swimming pool. After resting for a while we found our-selves in the pool. And playing games in the room was a great challenge. The next morning, after having a good breakfast we went to one of the most popular and the biggest temple in the world, ANGKOR WAT. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was amazing, the view was so beautiful. We spent about 3 hours in Angkor Wat. After that we went sight seeing around the temple area and visited many temples including the Bayon Temple and the others. We took some pictures especially with

the elephants. We even wanted to ride them but it was very expensive so we had to give up that idea. Walking and taking so many photos made us very hungry so we went to KFC for lunch. After lunch we were so tired again so we wanted to go back to the hotel to have rest and we did.Every night we played various games together but to eat we had only noodles for dinner. However we did not worry about that because every night our homeroom teacher the one who always takes care of us, came and checked if we needed anything. If we were hungry he prepared noodles for us. Actually we had already been getting used to seeing him come and bring a bowl of noodles for us. It was absolutely so delicious. The third day we went to the cultural village. It was very beau-tiful and historical. We learned Khmer history starting from thousands years ago. We took some pictures and watched shows in there.The last day we decided to do something really exciting so we went to ride the balloon to watch Angkor Wat and Siem Reap and we did. It was amazing and very exciting to watch the beauty of Angkor Wat on a bal-loon. When we were watching Angkor Wat and around it we understood why it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

-lutely gratifying. Physics and math play a very important role in Architecture. Everything about architecture is based on calculations, precisions and if possible, extraordinary designs. The marks left by ancient architects are scattered around the world. What’s fascinating about these “Wonders of the World” are how structures that seemed hardly possible to create, may actually be right in front of your eyes standing strong and proud.

part of Architecture. It’s not only about the creative designs and imaginations that most architects possess. It is also about the tricky, complicated, mind-blowing formulas that are the keys of holding everything together. The shape and size of the building are also important factors in order to construct the building. Same goes forthe quantity of materials used like the amount of cement, sand, bricks, glasses for windows, etc. If all the calculations are wrong, the con-struction of the building will not be successful. Take Angkor Wat for example: Who would have thought that constructing

All in all, we depend on math everyday whether we’re aware of it or not. It ties us all together and opens up new ideas. For a career as an architect, “Numbers matter”. That’s the phrase that every architect should remember always. Nothing would be right in this world if it weren’t for math.

By ViriyaKeo 11-F Teaching is not a popular choice for Cambodian teenagers to choose because a lot of us have resented our teachers, at least a little bit. Even less popular is to become a math teacher. Because many students understand so little of math, they fear it.For me, choosing Math will be a risk because I do not know how good a teacher I may be. But I love to see the reaction on my

Math would then of course, be used every day in my life. I would need to research math problems and most of all, fun, interac-tive ways to make my students understand math clearly and to not fear it. There are simply too many interesting math topics that I would like to teach, ranging from algebra to sine rules, to name a few. Although being a university professor would undoubtedly pay more, I would rather be a high school teacher. So I

myself. Maybe when you hear the word “Psychology”, you might say it does not need math. However, it turns out that Psy-chology relies on math heavily.When wanting to be an Experimental Psychologist, math plays an essential role – statistics. In particular, many psychological tests are interpreted as numbers such as percentiles, averages, median and means. Additionally, if you’ve ever heard a state-ment claiming results are accurate within plus or minus a certain number, that accuracy has been computed using probability and statistics. IQ is measured mathematically, as well as child development and learning in humans and animals. For instance, a famous Psychologist Pavlov, experimented with dogs. Another named B.F. Skinner relied on math to determine and explain how well rats were able to learn. Psychologists also use math to make an initial diagnosis according to the patient’s age, their
