Drawing the Future


We all have a little dream of what we want to become; a doctor, an artist, a director, a happy married man, a beautiful bride, a marine biologist, a delicious chef...
We all dream and draw out the most perfect image of the future, yet knowing that the dream may not be true.
But, what does it bring? The dream is a rough draft, a sign of hope, and a small guide line of your own future. Surely, your childhood dream and the real you of twenty years after is different or at least for most of us, the dream changed to suit our life. That doesn't mean that you have failed yourself.

The world is not perfect. You are not perfect. I am not perfect. We all have our own flaw, but trying hard to get where you are in the future and setting a high expectation upon yourself is how way to success. The road to there is never easy. In fact, it is incredibly tough and at every step of the way, there is a sharp knife waiting to kill it - your dream.

I am nobody to talk about the dream and determination and setting high expectation. I have no idea how to succeed your dream. But, one thing I do know is that the imperfection makes each of us perfect, because without this imperfection, there is no point of improving, no point of setting goals and no point of trying hard.

Whether it is you make it to the end or not, make sure you try hard enough, dream high enough and don't  stop.

Happy Birthday to a Sixteenth Years Old!


I had a two-days fantabulous birthday!
First day was pre-birthday/special day with Eunice! And so I went into town at 10 am, waited in Paris Deli. I ordered a mint frap and just like old time, I sat and draw. It was nice, really nice to be doing something that inspiring again. 

Eunice arrived and we had such a long talk about everything we've been missing out on each other. God! So many things had happened! I miss being here with her mucho mucho!

YESH! We went to a Jap restaurant and has a super duper cool lunch!

Guess what we made when we got back to my house? Oooh! Japanese dinner! So there were maki sushi, chicken and mushroom teriyaki, inarizushi (tofu pouch and mushroom), omu rice, chawamushi and miso soup. Me, my sister and Eunice were the headchefs and we were AWESOME. My family loved it!

Longer talk needed that night and we went on talking until we really needed to watch "How I met your mother". Wait! Let's not forget the AWESOME GREENTEA ICECREAM WITH RED BEANS INSIDE!

Did not wake 'till 10 and we had an awesome breakfast - Banh trang cuon thit heo (Dry pancake roll with pork) and for me, there was an extra ice cream :D

Anyway, then we went into town and met My Linh at MOF!



I went back with my mum and the entire family including my uncle and aunty. We had a wonderful evening at Movenpick hotel - Iki restaurant. That cake up there was a beautifully shell-shaped tiramisu and maccaroon that my mum and sis bought for me. And I am telling you the dinner was amazing!




Happy Birthday to me! I'm officially 16th!

Eyes Wide Open


Requested update from Eunice :) I don't often post any photo of me up but seriously I am out of photos sooo you're stuck with my weird face this week!

I came to school today.
Yes and I'm so overwhelmed by all the love and hugs from people. It's great to catch up with everyone.

Thanks to Sally, I'm finally going to send out my UCA application. Wish me luck! Going to get my visa again tomorrow. Wish me luck on that tooo!

A beautiful monday in Saigon

It's a beautiful monday in Saigon.
Sprinkle of rain, soft breezes, quiet Saigon.

Eunice and I once again, planned to meet at Paris Deli.
At the last minute, Eunice called, asking whether it is okay to have Megan drinking tea/coffee with us. Of course I wouldn't mind!

I was running late, and when I did arrive, Megan, as the sweet and wonderful person she is, gave me a hug. And Eunice, as the funny and odd person she is, rubbed my head (yeah RUB MY HEAD...!)

We had a long-practically-non-stop-conversation and lots-lots-of-laughter, accompanied by some stopping for bathroom time...

I longed for this kind of conversation to happen (well, of course Eunice always do this to me... but in any case, this is different) It went on for 5 hours. The thing is, it's not the kind of boring listening exam. It was a perfect one where you sit back on the comfy chair and sip a hot tea, being just yourself and completely relax!


I've been terribly sick these past couples of day, but today, today has been wonderful.

Where life has taken me
