'Hidden' trip

Thứ 3, 23/10/2012. Project làm phim cả interview. Xong lựa phải stuntman. May mắn sao anh cùng nhóm liên hệ được ông mà đóng thế bà nữ hoàng nhảy từ helicopter xuống hôm Olympics. Chuyến đi từ tờ mờ 3h30 sáng bắt train tới Henley-on-Thames. Cả lũ mệt rũ. Nhưng cả 3 anh làm nhóm cùng đều đẹp trai, giỏi giang, tháo vát, lại còn rất chiều mình. Sướng thiệt là. Kiểu kí sự bằng ảnh điện thoại. Đầu tiên là 4h sáng ngồi mốc mỏ ở station, xong mình mua YanYan cho các anh ăn. Không phải nói, ai mà không thích YanYan thơ ấu chứ (đứa nào dám không thích, chị cho cái bạt tai liền). Xong tay xách nách mang chạy lên chạy xuống 4 lần tàu, nghĩ mà hoảng. Vì tin tưởng có mấy anh to cao liền nên tới giờ mình vẫn không biết mình đã đi tới đâu và chuyển ở những ga nào, bữa đó chỉ chăm chăm chạy theo các anh. Tấm cuối là chỗ café phỏng vấn ổng đó. Btw, ông này tính hay mà làm mấy trò dị lắm, bạn nào rảnh thì tìm thử coi, Gary Connery nha. 

* P/s: Nhớ có cái project và cái sự tiến triển nhanh hơn tàu lửa này và cả bạn cùng nhóm quá tuyệt vời mà mình có thêm tí vững tin vào cái sự học hành chật vật. Mặc dù bây giờ lại chật vật tiếp, nhưng mà tôi sẽ từ từ mà tiến thôi. Mới phát hiện ra là làm việc với các bạn giai thật thuận lợi hơn biết bao. 

night.

...too tired to speak

too tired to finish a line

too tired to try

too tired to live up for all the ideals of life

too tired.

(just a few isolated words)

please don't listen to the wrong voice, don't follow the wrong road, or even if it's right as they've always said, just don't

Photos taken on the first day in Dalat (without any retouching). Second day already and more photos coming. And going home tomorrow. And photos of happy awesome days in Saigon will come soon too. Or at least, let't pray a little patience and mood for me. 

By the way, just got the CAS statement and hoping things gonna go alright. Some more fun in Hanoi hometown is right ahead and yes, Kingston upon Thames and an uni life is waiting for me. Too excited to see all these things coming, but missing Saigon at the same time. Feel like it has became my second hometown, or it actually already is. 

Notes written in Vietnamese would come soon cause too many things to say but too little words to type. Not even know what's so wrong with me. God bless us all.

Coffee time with Grandpa in Dalat 

"Don't you ever wish

You were someone else?

You were meant to be 

The way you are exactly.

Don't you ever say

You don't like the way you are?

When you learn to love yourself

You're better off by far.

And I hope you always stay the same

'Cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change."

Wanna say this to myself and so everybody else: 

"Don't change. Be yourself. Keep faith. And live aloud." 

Just simple as that, but how many of us can really do? 

a not-so-normal tuesday with a long-time-no-see friend and several words for life getting just better and better

I guess, in the end, I still fall in love with something simple but special. I mean, ok, you're thinking I'm talking nonsense after a while disappearing from this social life, But really I'm just trying to make sense of all stuffs happening around here and there and on my mind. 

Photos below taken by me and lovely sissy called Lan Thu on a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon. Um, it had been our first met since summer 2008. Yea, almost 3 years have already gone. Great friends spare great time and I love that always. Thank love for a great day. We're gonna have much more fun when I'm back and yes I promise, darling.

Just got back to facebook world. Of course, everything happens for a reason. I just eventually got bored of blogspot, well, for that moment. And yea, I do need a social 'face' while joining uni very soon (to make new friends) and keep contact with friends and old friends, right? Anyway, I'm not planning to get rid of this awesome space - I mean, this blog - quite yet. Thank those who do really watch and read my life here. I appreciate that very much. And for so, I won't turn this off any soon.

Reading some Vietnamese books, "Banh mi thom, ca phe dang" by Ngo Thi Giang Uyen and "Cao gia, gai gia va tieu thuyet diem tinh" by Duong Thuy. Ok, sorry for not typing Vietnamese properly because of the shitty Vietkey on my laptop. These books are kind of the right type for me now. I don't even know what type it should be called. Probably, something easy to read, easy to think of, easy to deep in with and easy to absorb the final attitude. All cool. And yea, I've started listening to Vietnamese music too. I mean, not the normal type that written by Trinh Cong Son I've always listened to, but the commercial ones. Yea, don't even try to criticize me or laugh at me. That's normal. We all get bored and boring. Joking, I hope not.

So going to Saigon tomorrow morning and haven't packed up yet. I know, I'm like the queen of laziness. I will have fun, of course, I will. And until I get high mood, well, high enough to spend a little time on uploading more than tons of photos on blog, I will read books, listen to music, think positively, love myself and enjoy life to the max. Oh, and of course, stay healthy. Good plan. Now, have to start packing up my stuffs or else I will have to wake up at 5 in the morning.
