Master Yun: Address To Prestigious Guests, On The Opening Night (29 October 2018)

(My address to the prestigious guests, on the opening night of "The Crown of Prosperity and Elegance -- The Feng Shui Art of Master Yun Long Zi", 29 October 2018)

First of all I would like to express my fondest welcome to our Guests of Honor, Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi and His Royal Highness Prince Tesso Sisowath of Cambodia for gracing our Grand opening of my Seventh art exhibition “The Crown of Prosperity and Elegance”.

I was a little smart Alect when I was fixing the date of the exhibition. I thought if I can fix my art exhibition on my birthday eve and my birthday, then we don’t need two celebrations and it will be easier for everyone.
But I did not realized that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the late King Sihanouk.

Princess Buppha Devi and Prince Tesso did not say anything but just agreed to my request to come. Her Royal Highness has also brought along the Royal family: Prince chivanarith, Prince Veakcheravuddh, Princess chansita and Princess Reaksmey to Grace my exhibition. And her Royal Highness has to rush back for the palace rituals and ceremony tomorrow.

I am truly humbled by the great love, thoughtfulness and affections shown to me by the Royal family of Cambodia. 

And of course, I am in lost of words for the gifts that Princess Buppha Devi is so graciously and generously giving to me tonight.
