Hahah, such a lame title. Anywho I and Debbie went to the zoo near my house today. It's been like 1685576464343 years since we last went there together. We used to have P.E classes in that zoo every week back in middle school and it was damn fun. I don't think the place has changed much. The animals were still scary and the cages, esp elephants's, still smelled like poopoo (awies >_<) My Dad didn't let me bring his camso we took pics with Debbie's cell and they looked clear so I just have to put 'em up ^^


Can you tell what animal he is? I tried to make him turn around but he just ignored me, even when I shouted "Hello, monkey", "Hey babe, look at me," or "Brownie, are you deaf?" like a freak T.T









This ostrich had a crush on Debbie, I swear, he looked like a idiotic guy in look. We were standing on this wooden booth and he started at Debbie with this goofy smile on his face O__O





Red parrot. She looked really cute. When Debbie held up her cell this one even posed haha.





Debbie and me : D We look real awkward bcos we were scared of the elephant, he loved to throw dust into us <_<



I want those. Well, I want everything there lol.





Cookbooks! I don't know how to cook but the food on the covers were so yummy so I couldn't but snap, snap and snap.









Excerpt from the books.



Today was fun but my feet hurt, all bcos of those stupid flip flops >_<
I'll post more pics next week when I get to hang with Debbie again.

Have a nice day my lovely people<333

Talk to me

Uni is coming on its way. I cannot believe it. Everyone said this summer of mine would last at least till mid Sept but now I only have less than 2 weeks left. My precious holidays!!!

Well I went to my uni this Tues to take pictures for my Student ID Card and to buy uniforms. I love the shirt but the ao dai is crazy. It's damn blue. Blue! I think I'll look 546416367683386 times older if I wear it. Poor me T.T Good thing the construction is nice and clean, and the professors are seemingly nice, or else I would be real sad now.

So the first week is to study about general rules applied at my uni, second week about credit (or whatever) and politics. They will also test our English, esp listening skills (screw me) and we'll have some more exams, all take place on Sundays. It's weekend, gimme a break please =.=

I don't know what to expect at uni now. I'm real shy so I don't think I will make a lot of friends. And what if I don't understand they say? Seriously, if you're in highskool or lower and you're clueless, you can take extra classes. But at uni, this is not an option. Well, I think there's no option at all. I'm so scared, help me!!!! Guess I'd better stalk some good upperclass students, maybe they can tutor me, if they're nice enough to do so.

Talk to me

I wish I could sort things out so my brain isn't exhausted like this. I took a lot of Ann's time today babbling about the stories I wanted to write in the future and she said they were cool. The only thing that irritates me is that I don't know where to start and how to let if flow like I want. If only I was a native English speaker and could attend some writing class, there wouldn't be so much trouble. But I'll write, no matter what. Ann thought Ordinary Miracle was movie-like haha, that's how I feel about it too. IF I could ever finish that fic, I'd turn it into a movie script and save it until Rachel became a real director. She hated crappy romance so I added a lil fantasy. Man, I'm dreaming big. But it feels good imagining that. I have to write After Love soon. By the time I'm done with this, my crush on Khai will be officially over. Oh and I'm working on chapter two of Some Kind Of Art.

I'll keep myself busy until school starts. I've wasted a lot of time already. Tomorrow Dad will go hand in the documents to the Uni staff. I want to go but it's too far. Jasmine msged me today saying she'd drop in on on Saturday. I'm supa excited. We haven't seen each other since my bdae T___T sucks a lot. The party at Linh's house is going well now I guess. Why didn't Dad just allow me to go? Geez. Thinh made a fuss over it telling everyone he wouldn't talk to me anymore. : P i dare you. Anywho, I wonder if Nhi is there as well. I wanna see her!!!

I'm listening to My Boo, this song creeps me out. Where does the whisper come from? >_<

Talk to me

Some pics I took today out of boredom. I tried so hard to make them bright, but failed : (

Baby Bino~~



He was so cute. I remembered he still smelled of raw milk when I first saw him<3


Him and his bow, with the disturbing Comfort bottle ><

Grown up Bino~~





Doing his weird butt thingy lol.


My lovely properties~~



Bdae cup Ann got me for my sweet sixteen. Dad got a Sept 15th, Mum got a March 2nd. Happy family : D



Ugly Frog!!! A present from Phuong ^^ he's holding the bookmark Nai sent me. It says "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've always imagined."



This is ambear! I adopted lil ambear from Bee<3 and that sweet lil blue rabbit's original Mom is Sophia unnie haha.



Books I got this summer, more added soon ^^ Me and Debbie are still hunting for Thirteen Reasons Why and I'm In No Mood For Love. And yeah, we cannot forget Calling Romeo *giggles*



Letters from Debbie. The handwriting is really clear but only she can understand what she wrote. If someone does, bet they will laugh their heads off. I miss writing letters to my loved ones T____T



Well that's it. Nothing much to blog today. The electricity was off til 3pm, it sucked.

Talk to me

Two first songs of my top 25 most played in Itunes : D

하루하루 - Big Bang
Leave
Yeah, Finally I realize that I am nothing without you
I was so wrong, forgive me

Ah ah ah ah~

My broken heart like a wave
My shaken heart like a wind

My heart vanished like smoke
It can’t be removed like a tattoo
I sigh deeply as if a ground is going to cave in
Only dusts are piled up in my mind
(say goodbye)

Yeah, I thought I wouldn’t be able to live even one day without you
But somehow I managed to live on (longer) than I thought
You don’t answer anything as I cry out “I miss you”
I hope for a vain expectation but now it’s useless

What is it about that person next to you, did he make you cry?
Dear can you even see me, did you forget completely?
I am worried, I feel anxiety because I can’t get close nor try to talk to you
I spend long nights by myself, erasing my thoughts a thousand times

Don’t look back and leave
Don’t find me again and live (on)
Because I have no regrets from loving you, take only the good memories
I can bear it in some way
I can stand in some way
You should be happy if you are like this
I become dull day by day (eh eh eh eh)

Oh girl I cry, cry
You’re my all, say goodbye…

If we pass by each other on the street
Act like you didn’t see me and go the way you were walking to
If you keep thinking about our past memories
I might go look for you secretly

Always be happy with him, (so) I won’t ever get a different mind
Even smallest regret won’t be left out ever
Please live well as if I should feel jealous

You should always be like that bright sky, like that white cloud
Yes, you should always smile like that as if nothing happened

Don’t look back and leave
Don’t find me again and live (on)
Because I have no regrets from loving you, take only the good memories
I can bear it in some way
I can stand in some way
You should be happy if you are like this
I become dull day by day (eh eh eh eh)

I hope your heart fees relieved
Please forget about me and live (on)
Those tears will dry completely
As time passes by

It would’ve hurt less if we didn’t meet at all (mm)
Hope you will bury our promise of being together forever baby
I pray for you

Don’t look back and leave
Don’t find me again and live (on)
Because I have no regrets from loving you, take only the good memories
I can bear it in some way
I can stand in some way
You should be happy if you are like this
I become dull day by day (eh eh eh eh)

Oh girl I cry, cry
You’re my all, say goodbye, bye
Oh my love don’t lie, lie
You’re my heart, say goodbye

I hate the lame MV but I love the song, the lyrics reminded me so much of To My Boyfriend, esp that "you should be happy if you're this" part. Every word of this matches perfectly with the story, I wonder if GD has ever read that.



Tangled - Maroon 5
I am full of regrets
For all the things that I've done and said
And I don't know if it'll ever be ok to show
the beast
My face around here
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear

Would you ever turn your head and look
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear

There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear
That you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful

You're just an innocent
Helpless victim of a spiders web
And I’m an insect
Going after anything that I can get

So you better turn your head and run
And don’t look back
'Cause I fear

There is nothing left to say
To you
That you wanna hear
That you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful oh

And I've done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up

ohhh ohhh ohhh yeah yeah yeah yeah

You better turn your head and look
See if I'm gone
'Cause I fear

There is nothing left to say to you
That you wanna hear
That you wanna know
I think I should go
The things I've done are way too shameful

And I've done you so wrong
Treated you bad
Strung you along
Oh shame on myself
I don't know how I got so tangled up


This is supa weird, I feel like I've somebody wrong whenever I listened to this song.




Michael Phelps got his eighth medal this morning. Awesome! This man is not human, I swear, he's a whale or something. In the breaststroke round his teammate was in third place, but he still managed to come first in the freestyle one, 3/4 body ahead of the second O__O I'm supa impressed. Well, he prolly deserved such sucess and admiration from everyone. I saw Grant Hackett in the victory ceremony of Men's 1500m freestyle too, he didn't get the gold medal, poor boy. I think he looked pretty cool when he gave his gf the bouquet he was given ; )

Talk to me

Look at this cute kid, the one who appeared to sing at the opening of the Olympics : D








But the truth is, she was lipsyncing. The real vocal voice belongs to a 7-yr-old girl who could not present because her front tooth was missing.




I don't know why they did that...ain't it cute a kid is losing a few teeth? They wanted everything to be perfect, I think, but it was not fair for the little girl T___T

Talk to me

Dedicated to books!!!!!

I finished The Truth About Forever two days ago, and let me tell you, it's awesome. I love Sarah Dessen's style. Her writting is really laid back, but it's not boring, on the contrasty, I couldn't close the file even at the few first pages she just talked about nothing but mourning. I especially adore how she depicted pain in such a way, truthful and lively, sad but not depressing. During the time I read it felt like listening to Yiruma, a weird comparison I know, but it's true, because it seemed sad and at times it made your heart lighter. When I searched on amazon.cm and found the summary, I was not really excited about reading this, actually This Lullaby sounded more delicious, more to my taste. But mang, this is so good. I guess the storyline is nothing new: grief and the progress of getting out it. It was how Sarah Dessen portrayed it through a teenager's POV that caused it success. Top 10 teen fiction or something like that, right? So, basically Macy's father suddenly passed away this one morning due to heart attack, the same morning she waved him off saying that she wouldn't run with him like always becos she was sleepy. Thinking it was partially her fault, and, not wanting to cause her family more grief, she decided to stay calm and collected, not even shred a tear at the funeral. Macy denied the fact that her great loss pained her so much by hiding it all inside and tried to make herself feel safe with an organized life: with a bottomed up mother who suffered the same thing as Macy, who always drowned herself into work so there was no time to think about her dead husband; a so-called perfect boyfriend Jason, to whom a simple "I love you" as an closing of an email meant he indulged his girl so much that she has become so clingy; and evenings that only contained ironing clothes and studying for SATs. Macy lived her fake life like that until she ran into the catering crew, where she learnt to open up again and realized what life really was, what true love meant, and the truth about forever was it's how you want it to be. I love how Macy fell in love with Wes. Maybe I read so many fanfics where the guy/girl was head over heels with each other just after a few meets that this case turned out to be different. Despite the fact that Wes had gone through what Macy experienced: parent loss, they didn't click away. She was shy and he wasn't the kind who was curious. But Sarah Dessen found a way for them to connect, and it was The Truth Game. The time when they played it was the best of the book, I mean, they talked about serious thing, still, their dialogue didn't lack humor or whatnot. Wes had his own way to confess his love to Macy too, very creative and lovely: a sculpture of angel and halo with wings. My heart was really thrilled when Caroline asked why it was the only which got wings and Macy simply answered "So that she could fly." because finally she knew how much he loved her. Cute hey? And did I mention that he bought her a pencil that smelled like syrup to make up for his scaring her, though not on purpose? I thought it was really sweet. I like Wes, not just for he was hot, but also for what he did: he didn't mind talking bout his awful past life, he was always by his crazy brother's side and he loved girls with flaws. God, I think I cannot hate any of the characters in this book, except Jason cos he's somehow like a jerk >_< Well, read on, and you'll find the truth about forever. Hm, why does this sound so much like an ad? O.O

Okay so moving on to Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. I'm not a fan of Princess Diaries but since there're free ebooks, I gave it a try. Something totally different from The Truth About Forver, it was very funny and crazy. My first impression of the main girl was she was a bitch, liar and betrayer. I wasn't being harsh, she was really a bitch. And her name was...Katie, right, Katie. She had a close friend called Tommy who once dared stand up to Quahogs - a bunch of football players who thought they were gods because the whole town worshiped them, which, our lead character, though having her boyfriend Seth as a famous Quahog, secretly didn't. After what Tommy did, he was outcast by practically the whole town and Katie, as coward as she was, betrayed him by ignoring him as well. So he moved out. Four years later he came back only to find Katie two timing and running for Quahogs princess. Katie thought her life was over because she assumed he was back to get his revenge. Then, surprisingly, he was the one to help her get rid of those bad habits, all resulted from her scare of making mistakes and looking bad in front of people. And what happened next? You already knew ^^ At first I didn't dig this much, but as I read on things were getting interesting. I love it the most when Katie made herself clear at the pageant, letting people know who she was what was she actually hid from the whole world but Tommy.






I'll write more next time. Just wait until I have This lullaby and I'll babble until you get sick of it haha. Oh and, I dreamed of Khai last night, we did talk, but all we talked about was his study and girlfriend. But he did smile to me, so I'm okay ^_^
