Long time no see.

Yep, I perfectly know nobody is reading my blog anyway, so I can be absolutely sure nobody is going crazy because I seem to have disappeared, or wandering all over the world roaring my name, or maybe yelling at police officers demanding them to set up a big investigation to find out what has happened. Phoo. That's a relief. At least I haven't caused a world-wide scandal.

I know you are not at all wondering, but still I'm gonna tell you where I've been. I very much want to tell you I've been lost in a jungle, alone, with no food or drinks and that I had to live on dead mice and wild grapes for more than a month until I was found by a handsome caveman who decided to make me his queen. But, alright, that's a lie, and good students shouldn't lie under any circumstances. So this is the truth: I've spent the last few weeks at my desk, up to my eyes with homework and trying to make my test results look passable. And, I have to admit, it was awesome. I never knew homework could be so charming. Oh I finally found my love...

More good news: I'm now the biggest nerd in my class. Isn't it awesome? NERDITISM RULES!!!!!! (Yes, I know "nerditism" is not a word, but who cares???)

Now, if you didn't know that, my class is officially pacpen-ing and terrorizing all over Facebook. Go to Facebook if you don't believe me, and you'll see it yourself. Also, we've just celebrated our form teacher, Miss Van Trang's birthday on Friday 22nd. It was absolutely not what I had planned, but still incredibly fun. We played a lot of games, read some poetry, made up some new lyrics for some songs and had a big feast. In a word, it was silly and memorable. It's so awesome to be in a pacpen class, you never know what to expect!!!

And finally, I feel sorry (for myself  T_T ) to say I'm gonna have the craziest week ever. Five one-period tests! How am I going to survive? Yes, I have spent most of my time digesting the Olympic book, but still I'm sure I'll be dead. Anybody please save me!

I think it's enough for today. My homework is waiting! See ya!

Peace,
The Nerd That is Going to Die from Tests.



P.S: Sorry I don't have time to post pictures. Five one-period tests! Maybe next time...
Bye!

Good news and bad news.
I had my 6th swimming lesson yesterday and swimming is AWESOME!!! Two successive hours of swimming completely wore me out, but still it was super fun! Yesterday I even tried to take off a float (without the teacher's permission), it was harder to swim and more tiring, but I could swim almost 20 metres or so, and my mother said I was the best swimmer in our family!
And here's the bad news: The house next door is being repaired, and it has made an agonizingly bad effect on our house. Our roof was perfectly fine 3 months ago, but now it obviously need mending. 3 days ago we experienced a downpour late in the evening (well, actually it's a little weird to have such a heavy rain at that time of the day) and it was a disaster. All the walls got wet, the rain was dripping everywhere on the staircase, and the whole kitchen floor was in water. More awfully, I was at home alone! Well, almost alone, my little evil sister doesn't count anyway. I had quite a hard time dealing with the little pond in the kitchen while my sister was jumping and screaming and pretending to be scared.
More badly, my mother said there was nothing we could do about it, and the construction of the next-door house will still cause more damage. The only thing we can do now is try to survive until the end of the rainy season, which is, according to her, about 100 days away. I know, it sounds like a novel, right? Well, if 10 years later you go to a bookstore and find a bestseller book named "One Hundred Days of Rain", you know who the author is.
Scary thought: One day, my kitchen will be full of water, and we'll have to cook and dine while swimming. Oh my goddess! I like swimming now, but apparently not THAT much!

The first swimming pool in my life

It was raining all the way, so we got soaked even before getting in water. Yeah, that's a good joke. It doesn't matter anyway, soaked or not soaked, I was surely going to die.
However I protested, at last we got there. It was quite a big swimming pool situated near our home, and (thank gods!) it wasn't very crowded at that time. I put on my swim suit (for the first time) and didn't dare look in the mirror until my sister said I looked alright. Indeed I did! My mom said those flowers didn't suit me, but I guess she was only jealous because her swimming suit was not as pretty as mine. (Oh please, don't tell her I said that!)
Despite the rain, we got in the water and met our teacher, Mrs.Tuyen (my least favorite name!). First she gave us a bunch of floats to put on our back and arms, which made me feel like ducks. Then she told us to take a deep breath, then dive and make a lot of bubbles. It was quite fun despite the fact that you have to close your eyes underwater and therefore you can't see how wonderful your bubbles are. After that, she told us to hold another float and move forwards in the water, moving our legs like frogs. That took the rest of the hour, along with a lot of shouting, coughing, and even tasting the pool water (it wasn't so ill-tasting, by the way, but if you drink too much, it might make you sick).
The very moment I started to enjoy this frog thing, the bell rang and the teacher said good-bye. I unwillingly changed my clothes (oh I was so pretty in my swimming costume!) and went home. Well, the swimming pool wasn't so awful after all...
The worst/best part of it is that tomorrow afternoon we're going there again!

Hôm mùng 6 tết, vừa cắm hoa xong đã thấy bé chuồn chuồn xinh xinh đến đậu.

Viết bài này để chúc Quán trà xinh sang năm làm ăn phát đạt, chúc tất cả những ai đã, đang và sẽ ghé thăm quán một năm mới rôm rả, và nhất là sức khoẻ dồi dào để comment quán nhiều nhiều^^

(Chống chỉ định những trái tim khô cứng không biết rung động trước cái đẹp)
Hội hoa xuân 2010. Có lẽ không cần nói gì nhiều, chỉ đơn giản là đẹp. Không gian rộng mênh mông của hoa, hoá thạch gỗ và đá, bonsai, trà đạo, thư pháp, cá cảnh, tranh bướm, và cả nghệ thuật bày mâm ngũ quả.
(Đến cả cây me với cây dâu cũng thành bonsai được. Choáng nặng. Gì chứ cây dâu thì nhà bà ngoại tui cũng có.)
Đáng lẽ bạn chủ quán cũng định up từng hình lên đàng hoàng, nhưng mà chụp nhiều ảnh quá, rồi lại sắp xếp, rồi resize, mệt lắm. Thôi thì cứ xài slideshow cho gọn. Ai muốn xem kĩ thì vô Album Picasa của chủ quán mà coi.


Ghi chú: Ảnh này chỉ chụp cảnh, chứ không chụp người. Quan khách có nhòm thì nhòm cảnh thui, hôm nay người quên làm điệu, chụp ảnh xấu ghê lắm. (Nhòm cái áo ca rô mới toanh của người thì được :D)

Còn đây là một góc của đường hoa Nguyễn Huệ. Không lớn bằng, nhưng vẫn đẹp không hề thua kém. Ảnh chụp giữa trưa nắng chang chang nên không được đẹp cho lắm, quan khách thông cảm ^^

Khoe ảnh vậy thôi. Tiện thể khoe luôn quần áo mới. Đẹp ko?
Chúc tất cả mọi người năm mới xinh như hoa :)

Hôm nay bạn chủ quán.....................
