Chung bought me some juice This afternoon, Chung bought a cacao-coconut juice for me (it was foods that husked from fruit, I don’t know how to call this). Linh (who is my room-mate and Chung’s friend) had a juice, too. It’s what for helping her make up to a party last week. I told her not need to buy anything for me again and again. (Because I know she isn’t rich. Her family is poor, she has to take many part-time jobs at the same time from she started her studying at university to now. However, the store where she was working didn’t pay her wage). No matter what I told her, she still bought me something as a gift. I’m not close to her. We two are Linh’s friends. I can braid hair well. So, Linh said to everyone she met about my ability. Therefore, some friends asked me help them make their hair. I learned many hair styles on youtube. I can not only braid hair for other but for myself. Hihi. I learnt it in the summer holiday when I didn’t came back to hometown but stayed in Saigon (I helped my uncle look after his home while his family went to hometown). I design any hair style I like. My friends praise me at this ability. Hihi.

some old girls that I used to afraid and hate Oh, I still trembled when I rewatched photos of some old high school girls. I remember then she (named Ly) played unfairly, I did hate her strongly. There were a girl group containing 3 girls that were beautiful but cruel at the same time. I remember when we were in the same class at Mr.Hung (it’s out side school class), they sat behind me and told me giving my homework for them to follow. I remember 2 girls in that group slapped at each other in from of the class of Mr. Hung. I remember there was a rumor in the high school that they were going to abuse a certain girl. How terrible there childhood was! But, at present, they all looks pretty in those photos on Facebook. I don’t know if it’s because of technology camera. They went through many ups and down of life, but now, they’re still beside each other and be best friends of each other. That’s what I have high opinions for them. I heard that the friendship of gangs usually be closed like that. I think that they are no longer like when they was in high school. They probably don’t hit anyone just because they like as those years they used to. However, I can’t prevent chill going up to my spine everytime I look at these pretty faces. The memories about their cruel show up in my mind. They fought like they were boys. But, maybe, every one changes when they grow up.

Go to an English centre Go to an English centre I went to an English centre with Bich Phuong today. I wanted to take an communication course. On the way to there, we met Tim (he is a popular singer in Vietnam, he’s so handsome). He got off from his car. He carried his baby boy. We passed over him, but we stopped as soon as we realized him. Our eyes follow his figure until we couldn’t see him anymore. We decided to follow him. But we didn’t know where he went, so we had to continue our journey to English centre. When I get the address on the internet, I had to see around to find the name of this centre. I asked a staff, she told me this centre have just remove to the new place, so we had to go there. This center looked not professional. It was like a guard center than education center. However, this wasn’t where I want to find. They said that’s center in district 7 I needed. So I came back to home to search information about IEG district 7 on google. I called the hotline, then a man answered. He consult me about a course. There’re 10 weeks, 2 days every week, in the night. It’s interesting to listen what he said but it’s regret that the teacher s are Vietnamese, not foreigner. It’s not native. I thought I’ll attend this course after Tet holiday.

Forget Tonight, Tram and I intend to have “bún đậu mắm tôm” for dinner (I fell in love with this food, in spite of very hating it at the first sight, because it’s not cheap and I had to wait for a long time to enjoy it, so it has an bad impression to me). when the dinner time was coming near, I made a phone call to Tram but she didn’t answer. Then, she sent me a message said that she forgotten our appointment. Oh, I didn’t know if it’s revenge for me to forgetting the appointment with her the previous day. I didn’t need to angry with her, it’s only made me tirer. I could get something else to eat. I didn’t have to waste so much money on dinner.

Friendship changes Tet is coming near. My room-mates is going to come back home to enjoy Tet holiday with families. So, everybody discussed that we should hold a party before leave Saigon (the city where we’re living in). this year is the final year we stay together. Therefore, it’s happy if the whole room attend this party. Because, we don’t have much time left. All agreed to go to Thu Thiem canal, except Trang (She hasn’t spoken much recently. She decided stay at dormitory to do her paper). In fact, there are only 7 people go to the party tonight (total is 9 people). There were some people angry because Linh agreed to attend but change her opinions now to go out with her new boyfriend. I don’t feel angry about this. I think we all should go on a voluntary basic. It’s not necessary to make everybody stressful. It’s enough with only 7 people. And this stage is in graduate time, no one have free time, let them home to study. If they want to have happy time together, it’s able to happen here, in the dormitory. It’s not necessary to go out together. Base on my experience, every time whole my room-mates go out together, there’re always conflict. It’s not necessary to take a chance for conflict happen.

The man from California This afternoon, Phuong and I went to a park to talk with foreigners. But we met a strange person. He is from California. When we talk about Ho Chi Minh who was our former respectable president, his lip curls in contempt and he shrugged his shoulders unsatisfied. He didn’t respect Ho Chi Minh. Ok, it’s not matter. But why did he show such a attitude? He said that he just believed in God. He insisted on God create everything, God save human from faults. Everyone has something to believe, it’s good, but it’s none of your business what they believe in. you can’t say other is wrong and you’re right. It doesn’t work like that. You can’t oblige other follow what you’re thinking of. I told him I didn’t believe in any region but if there must be one, I’ll choose Buddhism. It’s because Buddhism is popular in Vietnam. He immediately quarreled me. he told me smoking is popular too, are you intent to smoking like them. He was so graceless. His words just like a kid’s. of course, I just follow what is right. Oh, I didn’t understand why he didn’t create a peaceful conversation but smell fire like that. He wasn’t polite. I told him Grammar was not as important as Vocabulary. Then, his lips curled again. I didn’t said grammar wasn’t important. So it wasn’t necessary for him to demonstrate how important the grammar is to me, because I’ve already known this. All of above, I hated his institute and the way he talked with us. Bich Phuong and I was boring. It’s not like I think less of him but just want him to give us some respect for our opinions.

Retrieve the lost thing Today, I went with Tu Anh to retrieve her lost purse. It was so far, at Go Vap district. The street was crowded at that hour (it’s when everybody came back home from work). We started off from 4:40pm but we couldn’t back home until 7:30pm. It was terrible. The street lead to that destination wasn’t like in a city but like in a country. It was narrow and deserted. It was more difficult to find out the right street if you don’t have your friend accompanied with. The way back to dormitory was more simple than it was at start. On the way back, she asked me if I’d like drink milk tea. I refused because I didn’t want to waste her money (she lost her money in the lost purse, there was only identifications left.). when I was in my room, I decided to buy “súp cua” in the place that is near to my university and it took me 10 minutes to go there. But unluckily, it was sold out. Linh went with me because she needed to go to ATM to withdraw a little money for an Korean exam fee. She is my room-mate. She had just had a boyfriend yesterday. She is one of the most intelligent in my room. It ‘s true. She can remember any telephone number despite of reading it once. She is so smart with multiple choice question. Because she can remember the answer once she read them. What kind of head she has? This afternoon, I went to a repair laptop store with Tram. I didn’t understand why she could make that damage to her laptop. It looked like anything, that’s difficult to describe. It looked funny. The fee for repairing is calculated about 600.000 VND. What a poor girl!

The boy I used to have a crush on. Today, I processed facebook. I see some friend’s posts that congratulate Hieu’s birthday. He is the boy that I had got a crush in high school. So, I was going to post a congratulation on his facebook’s wall. Thing I couldn’t believe is we’re not friends on facebook. Oh my god. We had learnt the same class in high school for three years. When we came to university, we sent message once or twice. But it’s fucking mess. I remember that I added him as a friend on facebook for a long time. Did he unfriend me or I did or he created a new account that I didn’t know. Oh, it’s faded in my mind. He’s all I love at then. I entered to someone’s post on his wall and typed: “it’s so bad. I saw something on facebook today. It turned out be your birthday. Happy birthday to you and add friend me, please. Although we had no conversation during 3 years, it isn’t matter. So, he accepted my request and some of his friend commented something strangely on his friendship status with me that I didn’t understand. Oh my life.

Award and scholarship Today, I came to school to receive my student award. I told my room-mates that they could be there at 7pm or 7:30pm. I had to get there earlier to prepare for the gala at 5:30pm. Yet I came there too early. I have been waiting for my room-mates for a long time. I was a little bit nervuos. The happiness for be going to receive award turn half down. It’s important to have friends beside you. If you don’t have any, you’ll be so alone in spite being bright. There were 108 students who received this award this year. I was in the top that receive awards the first time. When I was in queue to be going to receive award, I looked around for these familiar faces. I wasn’t nervous because of award but my friend’s present. This will be sad if there’re no one share this happiness with me. But then I saw some of hand waving, I jumped up like the children that was given candy. I ‘ve have thought how such a cute they are. Hihi. I had more faith in myself. After I walked to to stage and receive the award, I had some photos taking with my friends. Then they left back to dormitory, I turned in to the hall to watch the gala. It’s natural that there’re people that be better than good people. I was better than some peoples, but I also not better than many peoples. I was only get 745 for TOEIC but there were person that get 980. It was so amazing. Back to dormitory, my happiness is my friend found her wallet again. She was lost her wallet the previous day. The bad people only take money from it and left it in the market. There were some one that picked it up and posted some photos on my school’s facebook. It was so lucky. It was so glad when you could find out your lost things. She chatted with her friends all the night. Because of so happy, she laugh like crazy. I have just receive an English communication scholarship from English centre IEG. I thought it was free but I had to submit than half of the original price, it’s 1.165.000 VND. I didn’t know if I should sign up for a course. I heard some peoples said it’s a cheat centre. But in this competition time, it’s difficult to believe in these bad review. Maybe some other centre are people who review. It’s Ok if it’s normal communication but I don’t need communication for Toeic. Because I passed the Toeic test and don’t have any intention to test again.
