We are living the last days of 2008, and just a few more days, we’re gonna be in a new year. In 2008, there were so many things happened to me, and the biggest event was that I could go to the US. Now, I’m still scared when remembering the interview, but it was just the past; everything is fine now.

What do I want to say? – Right! The most thing I was surprised when first put my feet in the US was their parking lots :) ) I can say it’s triple larger than Singapore’s and so 5-6 times larger then Vietnam’s (if it has any :D ).

Well, in 2009, I can’t go to NTH’s traditional fair and can’t be given lucky money; that’s so sad. However, I’m going to Las Vegas to celebrate the New Year Event, and I’m looking forward to it.

Happy New Year to Everyone!

Today is the Christmas day, and it’s also a special day to me. When I went to the church with my aunt this afternoon. I saw a girl who almost pictured everything about Dung. She had the same smile as Dung’s which used to make me be deep in love. I was stunned and speechless in a few seconds. I know that was just a coincidence, but how could it be like this?

What a miracle!

“What the heck is Rasputin?” – I know that some of you are trying to question it. Actually, Rasputin was a Russian monk, but people entitled him as a mad monk. He was  the most influencing person to the Russian king and queen in 1900s. When I was in 3rd grade, I used to hear a song named “Rasputin”, and I felt so excited with its rhythm. A couple days ago, I accidentally found it on Youtube, and so it recalled my memory.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she’d heard the things he’d done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

“This man’s just got to go!” declared his enemies
But the ladies begged “Don’t you try to do it, please”
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they’re not to blame
“Come to visit us” they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
He drank it all and said “I feel fine”

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn’t quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians…

Somebody says time is the best treatment; it helps you forget everything. Time will heal the inside-wounds, and help you bounce back to the normal life. But I didn’t seem to get it that way.  It has been 4 years, and I’ve tried to forget everything about you; however, it just seemed so hard. That’s so funny! I see myself haven’t changed a bit, still be a lame, naive guy. Literally, I went out with some girls, but ended up as friends cause I didn’t want to make it any further. I want to tell you that I love you; I want you to be next to me, but my dream didn’t come true. I’m still waiting for time to take my sadness away.

After all, the tests are over, and I have a smile on my face :D I’m start enjoying the holiday season ( a little bit late :) ) ).

Today I have a potluck in the Counseling class, and when talking to everyone, the girls said  that I was cute =)) Honestly, I don’t know why they said that, but they kept asking my email address and said they will write me, and I have to reply them. How funny it is.

Yesterday was a touch day; I went to the psychology class to take the final exam. That was the class that I didn’t ensure to get the A; however, I managed to get some extra points, so I would get A even only I did 25 right questions. The test was so difficult; there were so many questions in the textbook, but I hadn’t had time to look over. But in the end, I tried to answer as much as I can.

That afternoon, I got onto angel log to see my grade. I only got 37/50; that was quite disappointing. Nevertheless, I still got the A for the psychology class. Tomorrow, I still have 2 more final exams to complete, and then I will have  a whole month for holidays.

Cheer for the Christmas!

I would like to start a new blog with this entry – the first one. Honestly, I have wanted to have my own blog with my own domain for a long time, but it seemed so difficult when I was in Vietnam because of many reasons. However, it was just the past. Now I have everything to follow my interest. I  want to thank everyone, who helped me to build up this page, especially, Vuphuong. I also want to thank you, all of my friends, for supporting me all that time, and hopefully, you all will be by my side ’till the end.

Let’s start my brand new blog here! And let’s make this one the English version!
