About a hundred and one times everyday, I’m hit with unexpected images propelled suddenly from the most random nooks and crannies of my own brain. You know, that teeny chunk of grey cells suspended in a slightly bigger piece of mush that is my head. In my sleep, they have a fancy name: dreams. But [...]

Ngồi buồn tiếc một khúc dây
Posted in Friends, Random, tagged friendship, thơ, Vietnamese on Friday, 28 March 2008 | 2 Comments »
Khác chi đi tiếc tẹo mây trên trời…*
Khúc dây cũng không dài lắm. Mà vẫn tiếc. Thói đời vẫn vậy, nhảy xuống rồi mới biết giếng cạn, đúng không?
Thôi đổi chiến thuật, từ nay ta quyết định ngồi chường mặt ra làm cái giếng. Nông sâu chả biết. Ai thích thì cứ nối dây. Người [...]

I’ve been in a constant state of mild irritation for the last few weeks. “Thanks” to our lovely piano! It’s the highest E-flat key (or D-sharp if you’re so inclined, such split personality!) that somehow got a little stuck, I don’t know the hell why! Every time it’s played, it wouldn’t bounce all the way [...]
I want a dog. Or a baby. Or both.

Everyone’s been commenting on how clucky I am / appear to be. Oh yes, they’ve been on about it for yonks! And I am well aware that my behaviour of late, no, of always, is just short of darting around the yard going “cluck cluck cluck when oh when will my eggs hatch?” and then [...]
A bookworm’s dream
Posted in Language, tagged alexander mccall smith, Amy Tan, books, bookshelves, library, reading on Thursday, 20 March 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of these days, the bookworm in me is going to be spoiled and pampered with:
~ Every single book by Amy Tan
~ Every single book by Alexander McCall Smith (this is gonna be quite a collection, but I will have all. ALL is what I will have!)
~ Every single book by any other author I [...]

Từ hồi mở hàng em bờ lốc mới coóng này mình chưa tương lên bài nào tiếng Việt. Tự an ủi có múc được vài quả thơ từ blog người khác qua, đồ chôm nhưng cũng coi như có hương vị quê nhà. Một phần vì tính mình hiền lành ít nói hay mắc cỡ [...]
Một nửa

Một nửa
[Trần Ngọc Thanh]
Em bây giờ còn lại một nửa thôi
Một nửa kia đi lạc đã lâu rồi
Chiều vụn vỡ một nửa em sụp đổ
Nửa bầu trời lạnh một nửa trăng soi
Một nửa kia lại đi tìm một nửa
Em hanh hao với một nửa hao gầy
Một nửa níu tháng ngày trong ký ức
Nửa lạnh lùng [...]
Why it’s good to drive on the left
Posted in Heart, Random, tagged driving, relationship on Thursday, 13 March 2008 | 3 Comments »
On my way to work this morning I had another light-bulb moment**. I suddenly realised why it is better to drive on the left side of the road, like the Aussie & British do. (Nope I’m not taking sides here. In Vietnam we drive/ ride on the right and in Oz, on the left. So [...]
Good old Eagle Oil
Posted in Family, Health, People, tagged aromatherapy, Asian, Eagle oil, Family, Vietnamese on Wednesday, 12 March 2008 | 2 Comments »
This entry is about that famous green oil that is a household name in most, if not all, Vietnamese families. I wrote a line of two about it in one of my old blog entries, can’t remember which one now. Today I saw this on “Stuff Asians Like“, and this is a response to their [...]
More blogs about blogs, and “whitened” Asians
Posted in Blogs, People, tagged asians, Blogs, stuff white people like on Tuesday, 11 March 2008 | 4 Comments »
I just finished the previous entry about my love for blogging about blogs. And here I am again, doing exactly that. It’s just that lately I’ve been hooked on this blog here:
Stuff White People Like
The name is pretty much self-explanatory. Absolutely hilarious and so true, so true! You all should hop over & have a [...]
Random rambles- Amy is happy that her good friends are happy! Yippi Yippi YAY!
- Amy intensive dancing felt sooo good after a short break! Can't wait til MLX, woo!
- Amy Simple wish list: 1 - a ripe, juicy, fragrant mango for each day. 2 - there is no other wish.
- Amy Escalating exchange rate makes me itch for only one thing: OVERSEAS TRAVEL!
- Amy can't even feel the lack of sleep due to staying up till 2 with Harry (!), exept for occasionally dosing off at work. but staying up till midnight for an essay is such an ENORMOUS strain!
