Em biết

Có những điều trùng hợp thiệt ngộ. Đang lượn lờ trên blog world thì thấy bên chị Zen post cái bài thơ ni. Hồi đó nhỏ Đào chép gửi tặng mình, nó đọc trên báo Tuổi Trẻ thì phải. Thư nó gửi từ hồi năm 98, nghĩa là mình mới qua đây được hơn một [...]

Who’s Danny Katz and why do I HEART him?

He’s a columnist for The Age and a few other Australian newspapers. The guy is an absolute genius, with a wicked sense of humour and an amazing knack of observation. He’s so funny that just hearing his name makes me burst out laughing. I think he even beats David Sedaris, Helen Fielding, and Marian Keyes [...]

Two types of people

Those who can’t wait to peel off that thin protective film on the screen of their new gadget (watch, mobile phone, GPS, etc.). And those who just have to leave it there until it becomes all scratched and bubbled, and the edges curl up and turn an icky grey from dirt.
Me, I’m type 1. I’m [...]

Festive mood

So this month I’ve made a new “end-of-year” resolution. Because you can never have enough resolutions, can you? They’re there so you can break them, and then make new ones. That’s the whole point, is it not?! Anyhow, so mine is: this year I’m going to embrace all seasonal celebrations, I’m going to get right [...]

Coordinated

So last week I:
Went dancing four nights. Fun.
Peddled my butt off on the strider at home in front of the telly. Fun.
Went swimming twice. Fun.
Accidentally kicked my heel at that stupid, creaky, squeaky, 200-year-old revolving gate at the pool on the way out. Am now LIMPING! Have massive bruise the size of Tasmania on [...]

All I want…

Well. You know my family don’t really do Christmas. (More about this in a later post). But it’s hard not to say “For Christmas, I’d like to get…” when everyone else is banging it into each other’s eardrums, and buzzing around like a blue-assed fly trying to come up with thoughtful, unique, one-of-a-kind presents. Which, [...]

One person

Yes, I know quite well that there is so much more to life than just that one person. But then… just that one person would add so much more to life!
~sigh~

Randomity

You know what one does when one’s got a huge pile of half-baked entries in the Draft oven, all of very interesting topics (or so one thinks)? Well, my guess is that, one would leave those there and start afresh on a new, useless piece of scattered words. One without a backbone and serves definitely [...]

Technologically challenged

Yesterday I had to reinstall Windows on my desktop because this  stupid old thing has been playing up too much lately. After twiddling around for half a day, including (but not limited to) backing up all that useless crap in the hard-drive, and dissecting the CPU to evict a whole big fat family of dust [...]

Mùi biển

Tự nhiên dòm thấy tấm hình trên blog một người không quen, hình biển đâu đó ở Việt Nam lúc bình minh. Chắc Nha Trang hay Vũng Tàu hay một nơi nào khác mình chưa bao giờ tới. Cảnh biển thì ở đâu cũng na ná nhau, ở Hạ Long, ở St. Kilda, ở Santa Monica, cũng nước cũng sóng cũng mặt trời lấp ló lên khỏi đường [...]
