Breakaway!

11 hours more and I'm breaking free!!!

Life in SMU has become more and more... not a student life at all! Maybe because the motto of the university has always been something like "SMU is not only a school, it is a business school; and we are like a company doing business, not only professors teaching students... blah blah", the students here are getting more and more like those crazy no-life workers. Boring lives eh?

I hate mugging, that's one of the reasons I escaped from Vietnam and study here. And what I end up with is cramming like hell every time the final exams come. I'm not the mugging person type, maybe that's why my results are not so good so far?? (haha, blame blame, shame shame...)

Anyway, put aside those boring textbooks, 2 of my sis in SMU are planning for a trip to Bangkok next year. I'm excited!!!

You know, I always put "travelling" in the hobbies section of my profiles on different websites. I do love travelling a lot. And then one day a friend asked me:

- Sam Sam, it seems like you love travelling right?
- Yup!
- So where have you been to alr?
- Errr, lots of places... in my country...
- Ic... anywhere else?
- Errr... Singapore...
- Of coz la...
- Oh ya ya, I've been to Malay as well, but Johor only, not KL yet!!!
- ...

That was quite lame! It was like you were talking to someone who introduced himself as loved cooking and what he knew was only frying eggs!

It's even worse looking at my facebook profile. "I've travelled to 13 cities in 3 countries" (that is alr counted "Sentosa", "Jurong" and "Singapore" as 3 cities under the country Singapore!)... It's nothing compared to some of my frens around my age with over 100 cities spread across 5 continents that they have been to. I'm getting jealous :(.

Anyway, it's never too late to start anything. I always have a list of places I want to go to around the world in my mind, and maybe Bangkok can come first?

Dreaming of Neverland...

my personalities

human nature

Is there any real man dare to say he is not greedy?

It is easier to think about others' faults then yours. And ironically, it is far easier to accept your own faults then accept others.

So before opening your mouth to criticize someone, you'd better think about yourself. Don't say a person stupid while you're nothing more intelligent. And what's the point of raising questions about a person's greed, while you're trying to steal from his back pocket?

And don't blame your faults on others. Only those who have no self-respect do that.

way back into love

I wanna watch this movie so much!!! The song is damn cute.

All I wanna do is find a way back into love...

eyes closed 'n mind shut

I'm in bad mood today. Suddenly all the bad things in the past flash back. My head is in a terrible mess now.

For a moment, I hate myself. Really rarely do I think that way.

I take a cold bath to refresh myself. And I imagine me sitting in a cozy bar, listening to an angelically beautiful singer, flowing with her music.

And I think of lots of things...

I indulge myself in reminiscence.
I think of my beloveds.
I think of my friends.
I think of all my past relationships.
And I think of myself...

Sometimes life is too complicated to handle...

I deny myself from reality, beg my mind to take me back to my imaginations.

So that I can fly with my angel, get drunk by her music...

...and escape from this world, at least for a while...

I looked in the sky and there I saw a star shining so bright above
I closed my eyes and wished upon the star that I would fine true love
Someone who needed me
Someone to share my life
For a love that would be true
I would wait forever
So...no...matter how long it may be
I will be waiting
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
I believe wishes really come true
Love at first sight I knew it from the moment when you said hello
I hoped you felt it too, but we both so shy-how was I to know
when you reached for my hand
I knew you were the one
We laughed and talked for hours like I'd known you forever
Like...a...dream or something from a book
True love had found me
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
Noe I see wishes really come true
You just have to dream
Nothing's as bad as it seems
to be...believe me
Someone's waiting for you to try
There in the sky
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
You will see wishes really come true
You can't stop believing-wishes do come true
You gotta believe me (wish on a star) wishes do come true...

"...em chỉ là một đứa vô tâm..."

What is more effective in keeping you awake than coffee or apple juice? Being hurt.

Have you ever realized an irony: The people, whom you don't really care for so much, keep saying thanks for the small little good things you do for them. On the other hand, the people, whom you really care and are willing to do any small little things for, keep asking you "do you care for me?".

I still remember a time when I was in secondary school. I carelessly explained wrongly an exercise for my friend, but he kept thanking me for helping him. On the same day, my mum kept on criticizing me for being "insensitive and indifferent" because I didn't sweep the floor after dinner as I'm supposed to; forgetting about the previous night I put the blanket on her, worrying she would get cold.

I was hurt then...

It hurts me more when the people whom I really love and care for, come to me and say "T., you are just an indifferent person".

Well, I'm not the type of person that would sit down and describe how much I care for you. I just can't put that into words. I can't make a list of what I did that would show how much I care for you. I just do. If you realize it, I'm glad. If you don't, well... what else can I do?

People simply want more of what they already have...

And tonight I can stay up later then usual, even I don't drink coffee or apple juice...

...coz a person, whom I really care for, said straight to my face "T., you are indifferent".

My relationship IQ

Today I came through this Tickle "relationship IQ" test (well, can't deny that one of my time-killers is Tickle =)). The name made I wanted to do it, and the result was quite interesting.

Samuel, your relationship IQ is:


I'm quite surprised. I didn't expected my "r/s IQ" to be that high (though I alr know that I'm more mature than average compared to guys of my age, oops!).

Everything else is just correct, my conflict resolution skill is high, my acceptance of others is low.

But there's one thing I thought of after doing the test. Though I'm in a relationship now, and very satisfied with it, the fact is my previous relationships lasted not so long. Then what does a high relationship IQ mean? Does it guarantee that I will enjoy a relationship that will last for the rest of my life?

Well, just like what I usually think. Intelligence doesn't guarantee a person success, nor does r/s IQ to happiness.
