Lemon story

When I started on studying the first class at six year-olds, my father was admited to be a post-graduate and must get to Czechoslovak for 4 years. I was very sad because it would take a long time to meet him again.

Because I'm first-born in family, my father love me so much. And when my mother born my sister, she was at taking care of baby so my dad would put me to sleep by melodies which he made himself "Sleep well, my sweetie".

At the time he was off, I couldn't express how my feeling was. It was a sunny day in the summer; dad held me in his arms and took leave of me by a kiss before going up the airplane. I gave him a fresh lemon and said "When being tired from working, you squeeze a lemon to feel better."

Day after day for 4 years, dad was writing to our. In every night, when we (mum, my sister and I) had finished off taking a meal , mom would read dad's letter for our. In these letter, dad didn't said about the lemon that I had given to him.

After 4 years, dad has come back along with the withering and unchanged lemon. He said to me that he hadn't squeezed that lemon; what is more, he put it in the most solemn place in room at Czechoslovak. And when he was getting tired because of working or studying, he just come back to the room, looked at my lemon and lost all tiredness. Once, a cleaner saw the lemon and indeliberately throw it to trashcan. Luckily, when going back to the room, dad didn't see the lemon so he asked cleaner and got it back at the time.

I really forget about the lemon that I had given to dad when biding farewell to him. I'm getting moved when I know he brought the lemon along for all of 4 years and that is the most encouraging for the working and studying in a long time at forgein country. Up to now, when I got married and had kids, I feel his love more than and that was a lesson about family loving for me.

Correction for "Writing practice in 5 March" post

I have had some corrections on my Writing pratice on 5 March post. This modification based on my questions on alt.usage.english newsgroup about grammar of that post. So it's modified version of post. Thanks Peter Moylan for helping me.

These days, banners and panels have been hung out with printed greeting on them. International Women's Day is comming ...


I'm used to think the 3 February street in my city is the "student" street, a street reserved only for students, or the "flower" street because there're people selling flower there every day, even it si not a holiday. It might be a way for these student to earn their living. Going along the street, I wonder whether anyone could gift a rose these girls.


I remember buying a flower from a female student at last Women's Day. She was stunning and had a nice eyes, they were black and bright. She came from the country and became a freshman this year. She sells flower to support her study.


In these busy days, we often hear about many luxury of rich people but they are not aware of rural families whose children would like to become university students. Nevertheless, the poor people must provide for their family back in the country while at the same time continuing their studies.


This morning, while going along the "flower" street, I tried to find the young girl with the bright eyes. Would she continue be a student or drop out in order to help her family? I wish I could meet her, and buy her a bouquet for Women's Day.

I'm used to think the 3/2 street in my city is the "student" street, a street reserved only for student, or the "flower" street because there're people selling flower day by day no matter it's at holiday. It might be a way for these student earning their living. Going along the street, I wonder whether anyone could gift a rose these girls.


I recalled that I bought a flower from a student girl at last Woman Day. She is stunning and have a nice eyes, they're black and bright. She came from countryside and have become to a freshman in this year. She sell flower to support her study.


In the busy days, we usually hear many luxury party of dudes but they are not aware of the beggarliness of families, rural people whose desire could become a student in the university. Nevertheless, the poor people must provide for their family at countryside as well as continue learning.


This morning, going along the "flower" street, I try for finding the young girl who have the bright eyes. Would she continue be a student or leave off it to go to help her family ? I wish I could meet her to buy a bouquet for her at Woman Day.

Report on 29 Feb 2008

Today was nice. I wasn't hard at it although there had been a lot of report defects (bug). I have been well aware of SQL Reporting Service so I can fix it easily. In the team meeting, Buu said the firm have been being a winds of change as of now: the whole company operating structure will be changed. The outsourcing service have only two levels for managing: director and development teams (PM is representative).

With new model, PMs will manage everything about project and his team such as financial reports, budget from client, development processes, keeping up with customer directly. It sound great, huh ? Actually, that operating way have been no new in other software companies in the world. Anyway, it should be started off, better late than never.

Our Program Manager (Du) have been leaving off work for 3 months (unpaid day off) and he will decide to go back or retire after. Anyhow, he's good guy and I still got on with him.

It seem there're many things to be done from now on like get TOEIC and MCTS certificate, pass final exam in English school, improve programming skill, .. Ok, let kick off and enjoy your life.

1. My own room
When I was Being a child, I wanted to own a private room. A place where I can do everything but no one complains of anything. And when I was 20 year-old, the idea of owning a private room had been being my desire. I wish I could have private room within 1 a year. God, would you hear me ?









2. A powerful computer can run every program and a laptop



I usually use computer all day. In the morning, I get up, open pc, and then leave it out untill to midnight. The strong pc will help me a lot of thing such as stronger processing, larger HDD's storage, faster HDD's processing. And the laptop is usefull in case I need a computer in somewhere else (in another place). Would you hear me, God ?



3. A good salary to earn living for my family



My parent are too old to get money for family, my brother's too yough and I need to help them. I need a good salary that our family didn't worry at finances, so they will enjoy their living as much as they do. Would God hear me ?

English world

"I want to be good at English, so what thing I need to do ?". This question always go around in my mind, make me worry about family and career. But why I had that thinking ? Why is it English but nothing else like business knowledge, experience of life or our ambitions ?. Oh, if we're in a century ago, English is nothing. But now, we're living in the world whose number of language is two at least. These're English and your language. Clearly, we use our language to communicate with countryman and English for the rest of the world. By that way, we can learn many things from the ocean of knowledge on the earth.


Yes, you can see the important of English for our. Therefore we ought to catch English skills as much as possible. We must practise four basic skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening at least. Why did I say four basic skills ? Because there're serveral another skills like translation, specialistic English for medicine, economy or physics. So how do we exercise those skills ? If you already have been in perfect conditions like being a child of rich family or living in a country using English as second language, you don't have to think about this training. Since you have been exercising English everyday, and it's so good for you. So we go back to our conditions - a normal environment without English -, as my experience, we just frequently practise English at everytime and everywhere, in anyway you have. All thing you need remember is that you must try to use English as much as possible. For example, you watch a film with English subtitle and listen carefully what actor said and when you's listening, try to remember their English pronounce. Or you write an email for your boss or client, just use English. Or reading articles on the internet also is good practice. Maybe you see it's hard to do but there's a ground rule : you will be familiar to English if you use English continuously day by day. And now, I'm doing this way. Hope this help ^^


When I was going to to write this post, I didn't know what to write . And idea always occurs when I write a sentence out. Then this post have been created. It's so great, isn't it ?

I make some phrase italic to remember that there's maybe error in this

1st day in Luna Year

Those were the days

Hmm, it's sad. I should go game online a little bit. ^^

A tired day

I have a busy day yesterday. I waked up by her phone and it started shopping day. She bought clothers, shoes and towels ... for her family and I only bought a shirt (I isn't Bill Gates :p). Owing to her, I know some clother's, Pho 24 (32k/bowl, it isn't expensive, is it ?). We walked "wonder around" (I think this word is idiom) and have no thinking.

After that, I went to her home to install some software in her laptop. She will study abroad at Australia and her laptop need be ready to use at this time. Then we say everything about her school (in Australia), realty, friends ... It is strange and exciting when you're talking with person who's going abroad and you won't see her any more. I think it is life, everyboy doesn't go on a trip together. Maybe we're traveled with someone in 2 years and then said goodbye to make friend with another fellow-traveller. Do you think so, reader :) ?

I've gone home about 5:00 pm and being tired. I really want to post a writing but my body can't do anthing. Oh, there's still a point I want to say: Language (english) is a key to make you success. I know it for a longtime but not obey. Now I must force myself do this, I don't want to be a loser :(

Hmm, it's time to clean up for welcome Tet holiday. So I will see you next times.
