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.

A Country Life

It just life for these kids.

It is that simple.

We all live a different lifestyle.

We all grow up in a different place.

We all get used to the things we 

So don't feel too bad for the quality of life for these people because I'm sure as hard as it is, they also love their hometown! But of course, I think it really would be great too if we can help improve their home.

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!

Floating on the River

God! How long has it been since I have actually written anything or posting anything up here? I miss it!
But, since it is my Easter's holiday (off school!) and I am back in Vietnam, I am posting something here again!

Dots in the Sky

We all think that we know who we are but, when someone praise a question. We are most likely to be unable to answer.

"Everything has a beginning, right?"
"Yes, I agree."
"Do you believe that the world is created by god"
"No"
"Well, then do you believe that matters just appeared out of nowhere to create the universe and then us?"
"Not really"
"Where is our beginning then?"

There, you are stuck inside your own question. We all think we know who we are but we really don't. We are on the pathway to find our origin, ourselves and our purpose, avoiding losing ourselves somewhere along the way.

Life is harsh on us for a reason, just like your mother was harsh on you to teach you right and wrong. Don't let it suppresses you, step up and take the chances.

Finding the Lights

You know that feeling when you watch a really good movie and wonder whether your life will ever turn out that way?

It's always those really good movies that makes you think of who you are, who you've became and who you are going to be. I am still on the mission of finding who I am. I am still someone who is looking for myself. I don't know who I am going to be. I don't know if I should try the thing I want to try. I don't know what the future hold for me. But then again, I am always moving forward. No wonder most of us think of the future, plan ahead and follow plans.  It is true that your plan can change and be altered when you truly find who you are. One decision can change everything.

We complain too much about our lives, going on about bad things that happened but do we really appreciate what life has given us? Bad things happen - C'est la vie! But don't forget, good things happen too! If we can all learn to love ourselves and appreciate the small things we do everyday. Life would be so much more fascinating, exciting and wonderful.

It is scary to not know what to do but you've got to try and put yourself out there. Easier said than done, yes but do TRY!

Make the most of your time! Live like you have never lived before!

C'est la vie!

I got back to London two days ago. Gotta say, I really miss Saigon already.

Sometimes, life is just life. Terrible things happen and there isn't much to do about it, except trying to move on.
