SURPRISED BIRTHDAY GIFT

SURPRISED BIRTHDAY GIFT

July 06, 2007
I don't remember when was the last time someone bought me a bouquet of flowers


But what a surprise! It's really BIG surprise to me that someone gave me a bunch of roses, the type of rose I like the most. Honestly, this is the second time I've received flowers. The first time was when my partner gave me a bouquet of lilies to thank me for partnering with him for his dance performance. 

I got into his car but didn't notice anything strange. He covered the roses by his shirt and asked me not to put my bag on it. I was wondering what's wrong with him today? Why he is acting weird? But then, after he asked me to hang up the shirt, I saw a rose bouquet and I still asked "Whose these roses for?" I was so surprised and happy to know he bought this for my birthday.  


Thank for the sweet surprise, my dear!

LETTER TO DAD

LETTER TO DAD

June 17, 2007
Dear Dad, 

 Today, the whole world is celebrating Father's Day but you probably don't know. I miss you so much. Looking at my friends who are celebrating and giving best wishes to their fathers, i'm jealous and sad because this time, nobody gives any wish to my Dad (I don't know whether my brother knows anything about Father's Day since this day is not known in Vietnam). 

 Each time, missing your daughter, You only can only look at a small photo in your tiny mobile. You won't be able to read this letter, but I still want to write it anyway.

   If only I were at home now, I would wash your hair, give you a massage, cook a good meal for you. I love hugging you and kissing on your cheeks even now I'm no longer a 5 or 10 years old little girl. I still remember every single memory we had. The first day I entered school, learning how to write first letter in alphabet, Mom was busy at work, you took a day off from your work to stay home just to teach me how to write nicely. Until now, if there is anyone gives me compliment about my handwriting, I feel thankful and proud of it so much. 

I miss the time you stayed up whole night to help me answer my math homework and woke me up at 3am just to explain to me the answer. And the time I first had my period, you advised me what to do to protect and to take care of myself. I also remember your tears at the airport when you waited so long to see me walk out the Arrival hall. You were fearful of bad things might happen to me. 

 Now, I've grown up, I can survive on my own. I can go out to teach people, but to you, I'm forever your little girl. You always respect my thinking, talk to me as a friend regarding any important matters in our family. You made and taught me to be a strong, independent and smart woman and I really thank you for that. 

 Dad, but you know, living alone in overseas is not easy, especially for a young girl. I've encountered many problems throughout these years when I'm far away from you. Many times, I swallowed my tears and dealt with all the problems alone. I didn't want to tell you because I know you wouldn't be able to sleep. I didn't want you to worry about me.  

 On the occasion of Father's Day, I only want to wish you a good health and stay happy always. You look younger and more handsome when you are happy, you know that? 

 Happiness is shining through your eyes, i can see it. I will try to make you happy always, I promise. And you, please don't ever cry when you feel miss me so much. 

 I'm going to call you later when I finish writing this letter to you.

 I love you!..

TIME WILL TELL

TIME WILL TELL

April 20, 2007


Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally sunk, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Right then Wealth was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?" Wealth answered, " I'm sorry, but there are a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."

Then, Love asked Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please!"
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love asked, "Sadness, can I go with you?"
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."

Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you!"
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.
Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was from an elderly person with beautiful white hair. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask what is his name. When they arrived on land he went on his way. Love realised how much she owed the unknown helper.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

 Knowledge smiled and answered "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

2007 NEW YEAR IN KUANTAN

2007 NEW YEAR IN KUANTAN

February 26, 2007
I felt so lazy. I opened my blog a few times, but didn't feel like writing a new post at all. It seems all of my friends are busy with their New Year celebrations, and I'm alone in my room. I miss my family. I couldn't go home to celebrate Chinese New Year with the family this year because I couldn't afford a flight ticket. I didn't want to ask my parents for money as I knew, they already had so many things to buy for the house during the New Year already. 

 I spent 1 week at my friend's house in Kuantan to celebrate Chinese New Year with her and her family. It was a great time for me as I felt like staying in my own house. Everyone in the family was so friendly that made me feel really comfortable. I went to visit their relatives, helped them organise a BBQ party, we went to the beach near their house and went to the temple to pray for luck. 

Especially, I had a chance to meet up a few Vietnamese girls who got married here with Malaysian men. They are really happy. This New Year, I received a few ang pows (lucky money) from some people that I didn't know them before at all. What a good luck to start a new year! And here are some photos that I want to share with u on that day I went to the beach and temple with my friend's family.



Sometimes, I realise happiness comes from small simple things. What about your New Year celebration, did you have a good one?
