Thật ra là sáng giờ đã học bài ôn bài từ 7g rưỡi sáng thành ra bây giờ 7g rưỡi tối thiệt tình cũng ko muốn học gì. Nhưng mà bài còn nhiều, thành ra viết nhảm để trình trệ cái công việc "thanh tao" sau đó.
Nói về điện thọai di động đi ha. Mỗi con người là cái đtdđ. Cái khác nhau là đt thì bị hết pin, bị vô nước, bị hư. Còn mình thì bị phải đi ngủ, bị stressed, bị tùm lum cái.
Bây giờ tụi mình đi mua đtdđ đi. Tại sao phải mua đt? Tại đt hư hay chỉ vì mình thích đt mới? Con người ta có cái tính thích đồ mới, đồ lạ, đồ khác với cái mình đang có. Nhưng mà mua đt về, sẽ thích nó, sẽ yêu thương nó, sẽ giữ cẩn thận hay lại luyến tiếc cái đt chưa hư mà đã thay. Cái này ko biết đc.
Thay đổi là để cho những cái gì tốt hơn. Ko phải thay đổi là để dậm chân tại chỗ. Cũng ko phải là để cứ ngồi thừ ra đó nhìn lại cái gì mình đã có.
Đi đọc báo nào.

A basketball afternoon with kids
Sunday, oh Sunday. After finishing those macroeconomics issues, I was so sick of revision that I couldn't take it anymore. I took the ball and went to the park. I thought I just needed some shots to refresh my body again but things normally don't really work as we have planned. Neither did today.
I met a big guy from Serbia, third year Economics and Finance. We played some hoops then he left and I stayed. A few kids started to come by and make some shots. To be honest, it was really really nice to spend such time like that. I watched them throwing balls up to the basket, laughing, keeping scores with each other and even some dodgy score keeping, i.e. 1 then 3 then 6 *smile*. Kids. I also showed them how to make a good shot. It felt great to know that I could put my 10-year-experience not only into the matches but also into these kids.
Standing there, looking at and playing with them, I wondered when I would stand there as a father and they'd be my kids. I will take them to the park every weekend when it's sunny. We will stay at home playing together when it's rainy outside. I will cook for them, wash the dishes and take every single one to bed. It sounds a bit surreal, doesn't it?
But then, something came up and pulled me back, "where is my wife?". I don't know. I'm not even sure if I can ever manage to get married. How is she like? How many kids are there? Am I a good father? Hundreds of questions showered me from out of no where. It was, nevertheless, such an amazing feeling to give some thoughts about my future family, playing with kids when I totally lost track of time and directions.
That's what we call a peaceful day and spending some quality time. =)

Happy birthday to you, big boy.
Hey boy,
Happy birthday!
How have you been? We haven't talked to each other for quite a while, have we? Since you left for the US with your family, we only talked a few times via Y!M and mails. I miss you lots.
I can't believe that everything seems like you were sitting there hearing me talking about English and girls *laughing*. I'm such a bad brother ain't I? I still remember that you didn't only come with English, you also asked me tons of things, from physics to biology and even girls. Yeah, again, girls... Not proud of it though. I mean, you just gave me the feelings that I had a brother, you know. I often act like a big brother to the others but had never been a real brother to anyone in the family. I really miss those days. I taught you how to play basketball, how to download songs, how to finish a game and other funny stuff. And you, you taught me how to be really patient, especially with you.
So, birthday huh? 1995-2010. You must be 15 right now. It's still the age when you should be protected and cared by your parents although it doesn't work out really well. I'm so sorry about that. However, it's not easy to tell you what to do any more is it? Hence,
- Work hard. I know you're very talented. You just haven't realised yet.
- Be happy no matter what is going on. Be cool. Don't be shy.
- If you have a girlfriend by now, don't let it distract your studying ok?
- Right, all the best from me.
Remember this big kid?

A random Saturday out
I went out today. It's literally "going out", out of my room, of my flat and of the campus site.
I went to town since Saturday is always my food shopping day in the week. I'd been actually down town yesterday, and hence there was no point taking a long walk again. It was, I thought, just a good excuse to skip the dull revision morning.
I was walking really fast, up and down, forwards and backwards. The way I walked is almost at the run extreme within the walking-and-run continuum. My head kept flashing all the moments I'd been through these days and eventually resulted a blank mind. It's just a good way to refresh our body, you know, and a good way to exercise without balls and hoops too.
I bought something for mom. I'm still looking for some for dad and my cousin, who I consider my younger brother. It just feels right to buy them something as a small gift by my tiny savings from such limited weekly expenditure.

Commitment
If you want it, get it.
If you love it, want it.
If you like it, love it.
What if you don't know whether you like it? Cling to it.
Looking at those who have just been accepted for their internships, I start to wonder again. This time, I can't make an excuse that you normally go on internships after finishing your second year. Neither can "working distracts you from your studying".
It's time to ask myself where I wanna go and what I'm gonna do. Will my efforts pay off or will I find out that I'm trying in vain?
Keep working hard.

It's a long time ago
It was the summer a few years ago. He was still a kid, probably just finished his 6th or 7th grade. A friend of his dad came to visit. The man stayed in the room on the upper floor, literally above his room. He didn't mind at all. In fact, he was too busy with his meaningless days, playing video games, watching TV with only 2 channels and those sorts of things. He, consequently, didn't see the man that much. It just didn't make any sense to him why his dad had vegetarian food when the man was there, and of course so did the man.
One day, the man came down and saw him playing video snookers. The man sat down and watched. He said hi, stood up and was up to the kitchen to make sure the rice was ready. The cooker was making some noises as a result of the fact he didn't dry the bottom of the pot. The man asked where the noise came from and the kid told him it was because of the cooker. The man came down to the kitchen and saw the cooker. The man asked "so this is the cooker?". "Yes" - replied the kid. He was wondering why the cooker amazed the man.
Later on that day, the man went out and came back with a simple sponge cake for the kid. "Thanks a lot" - the kid said and was so happy. At that time, he was growing and always felt hungry. It was a normal sponge cake, the kind of 2,000 VNĐ at that point of time. When his mom came home from work, he brought the cake with him up to his mom's room and told her the man bought that for him. They tried it together and he realised it wasn't a normal cake. It was a cake from the vegetarian restaurant, which is in fact a small shop people come to, stay and eat, or leave with some takeaways. Now he didn't like the cake much since it was a bit too bland for him. His mom said "Poor the guy, he doesn't have a lot of money. Did you say thanks to him?". "Of course I did, mom". His mom went on "he is just a toys seller from central Vietnam. I don't know where it is exactly but he's a friend of your dad. It's really kind of him to buy you this cake."
He was thinking of what his mom said for a while and went on telling her what he did that day, which was nothing.
A few weeks later, the man left and headed back home. He found out, the kind of toys seller his mom meant was the kind with the bicycle and toys behind or even those people with only racks walking across the streets, struggling to earn 500 VNĐ, 1,000 VNĐ or even come home with nothing everyday...
