Chi Lan's wedding

Last weekend, I attended sis Lan's wedding. I was proud to be one of her bridesmaids at the gate crashing and also emcee for the wedding lunch. I have known her for over 10 years and I consider her one of my best friends. We both came from Vung Tau and studied at the same high school but she is one year my senior. We came to Singapore together and enrolled the same batch at business school. I recall she visiting me at my dorm in the early time we first came to Singapore. She was in my room at PGP, chitchatting for a while. She mentioned about the difficulty getting a loan to buy a laptop. Suddenly, her tears dropped, I was speechless at that moment but I truly knew how she was feeling. We were both U20 young girls stepping out of our family's protection to live and study in a foreign country. The preliminary stage was so tough in adapting to the new culture and the rigorous studying schedule.

8 years have passed, I was on the stage of the hotel's ballroom as the emcee, watching her and the groom hand in hand walking along the aisle. I was crying inside seeing her contented face and happy smile. She is a beautiful, smart and kind girl who deserves a long lasting marriage. I know at last she has found her man who treasures and loves her and from the bottom of my heart I am so happy for her.

Sorry Blog

Dear Blog,

I'm heartfeltly sorry that I have abandoned you for almost half a year. I admit that I am not a prolific blogger but 6 months is such a long time. A number of events have come to me encompassing work and personal life but I haven't managed to write down anything at all. Reminiscing about what has happened, emotion has already gone away, only facts remain to be listed down.

(Anyway, I feel a bit ashamed when I am actually opening my calendar to recall what has happened since May)

May 2014: went back to Vung Tau for a week vacation. Most of joy and laugh was when I played with Bi. Bi is always my favourite and I miss him each day literally, his chubby cheek, cute voice and amiable acts. Undoubtedly, children are endless sources of happiness and joy to me. I do pray I will have such a child like Bi.

It will be over!

A week has passed since that night but I have not got time to write down things happening @ Pump room on Good Friday. I only managed to reach home at 10ish almost every day for this week and Work sometimes just piles up like shit.

This is the first time of my life that I've gone through those feelings... thinking about someone impossible I know it for sure. I feel guilty for my own thought though I did not do anything wrong. I'm just an ordinary girl, I live my life by rules and values but heart is just foolish. 

I start believing in fate. Any second or any route can take us to different path of life. 

It will be over sooner or later. Things left behind will become memories.

I keep reminding myself. Looking ahead with my chin up, good things are soon to come !!!

Bad days

Sometimes it really hurts ...

Daddy back home

Daddy and I checked out hotel room this morning ( we stayed in Concorde hotel for 3 nights) and went back to my small stuffy room. I wish time passed slowly so that I could lengthen the time with him. Each minute is precious though I slept until 10 ish while he was suffing net. I was not fully awake listening to daddy telling fairy tales and jokes, which reminisces about my childhood when daddy had to lull me sleeping.

After a full lunch, I was tired so i took a short nap. I embraced daddy resting my arm accross his belly. It was such a peacefull moment. 

I miss Daddy so much huhuuu :((((

Pressure from Dad & Mom

Writing for Daddy

Daddy is snoring like a roaring buffalo. He must be tired as I have been dragging him to go shopping in Orchard malls. He had to wait for me, holding my bags and paying for my shopping. His daughter is very annoying and difficult to please :((

Daddy is getting older and older. It really hurts me inside to see his white hair and sagging skin. Though daddy is always proud of his smooth and roxy complexion   without applying any facial product (opposite to mommy)

Daddy kept nagging me to return to hotel earlier to chat with mommy. After a short dialogue about their nephews' stuff,  daddy raised his voice, mommy was sulky and hang up the phone. No surprise to me the only thing they don't have common voice is anything related to relatives :)

Xuân Quỳnh

Đã xa rồi căn phòng nhỏ của em

Nơi che chở những người thương mến nhất

Con đường nắng, dòng sông trước mặt

Chuyến phà đông. Nỗi nhớ cứ quay về

Đêm tháng năm hoa phượng nở bên hè

Trang giấy trắng bộn bè bao ký ức

Ngọn đèn khuya một mình anh thức

Nghe tin đài báo nóng, lại thương con

Anh yêu ơi, hãy tha lỗi cho em

Nếu đôi lúc giận hờn ânh vô cớ

Những bực dọc trong ngày vất vả

Làm anh buòn mà em có vui đâu

Chỉ riêng điều được sống cùng nhau

Niềm sung sướng với em là lớn nhất

Trái tim nhỏ nằm trong lồng ngực

Giấy phút nào tim đập chẳng vì anh.

Một trời xanh, một biển tận cùng xanh

Và gió thổi và mây bay về núi

Lời thương nhớ ngàn lần em muốn nói

Nhưng bây giờ chỉ có sóng và em...

1A TR2454 Tigerair

As one of the last passenger (as usual) checking in the flight to KL  with Tigerair, I asked for the front window seat and my request was fulfilled by a very nice and warm smile counter lady.  I got 1A seat unbelievably. 

I was feeling drowsy due to 4 hour sleep last night and then was sleeping for 1 hour flight. 

Shopping at KL was fabulous due to lower MYR/ SGD. Unfortunately I did not plan to shop here so I only exchanged SGD200 for MYR530. On the first day, I have spent MYR1000+ to buy 2 Zara dresses, Ninewest shoes, Harrods teas etc. Broken now!!!

Such a getaway from Singhell, I feel relaxed even after a whole day on the streets. Time to sleep :)

 On board

Hello KL

Night in the sea

I spent the evening at the hotel bar drinking, singing and dancing. ( need to mention I switched off my phone) It was so much fun with the young bartenders and the kids singing old english songs.
I drank a glass of Chile red wine and another mint cocktail recommended by the bartender. As usual, my face turned red and my eyes were swolen. Back to the room, i found out my whole body was red too but the color was unevenly spread out.
I have managed to type some words here before I go to sleep. I'm leaving the glass window opened so that i can hear sounds of the sea and waves crashing down. It is such a peaceful moment as if the sea mother is embracing me. I'm sure i will have a tight sleep tonight.

Meditation at the beach

After swimming, i wrapped 2 layers of tower to cover head and body and sat crossed legs on the stone border in front of the sea. I tried both closed eyes and open eyes meditation and the latter seems to worker better to me. Sounds at the beach are always appealing to me, screaming winds or splashing waves beating against shores, etc..
The actual time for a fresh and empty mind may be counted by seconds but at least I have tried. My mind is still wandering back to the story.

6 Feb 2014

Blogging in front of the swimming pool, my mind is such a mixture. Coincidentally im taking a day off at this Ho Tram resort to dwell about what has happened. Finally I'm taking risks, i want to be adventorous and now im paying for what i have done last night. I have no excuse at all as it is all my fault. With a strong will, i know i will not ever repeat my mistake. But i do have a difficulty answering another question: if There were a chance to change the past, would i still do the same!

I couldnt imagine how much it has affected me today. I allow myself 1 day only to recover, leave it behind and move on. I acknowledge my sis' saying: on my path of life, i may get some dirt and I need to brush it away. 

Tết 2014

Tết nam nay dc ve tu 29 den mong 10 tet. Ve ít thì choi ko da, ve lâu thi oai oi la oai. Lam ji cung bi mang, di choi thi dien thoai bome reo inh oi.

Năm cũ fai luon tu nhu la ko lap lai nhung ji đã qua n do not be stuck with the past. Vay ma thinh thoang lai wen khuay di mat. Hic hic nhu vay la than kinh chua vung dau do, need to try harder and more disciplined.

Chieu nay di dao bai truoc ngam mat troi lan. Bien ko chi la bien, no la mot thu ji do rat lon lao voi minh. Uwhenever i am back to the sea, my mind is just as empty as a blank paper. Taking a deep breath and the sea is embracing me ~~~
