New Day: New Beginning

    Wonderings

    My experiences of living, and thoughts about life

    • Book: not too interesting

      I looooove bringing books home from the library. The act has an exceptionally satiating effect on me. It’s known that women go shopping after a mental breakdown, emotional breakup,  or when they get dumped (in any order). I devise myself a better way to recover from such disaster by going green. All in the name… Continue reading

    • Bordeaux

      I’m starting to think of Bordeaux as my second home. After all, it’s where my best friend lives. You would think best friends look alike, think alike, act alike. But noooo. She’s curvaceous, I’m flat. She’s practical, I’m romantic. She acts mature, my kids are still reminding me to act my age. She’s from the… Continue reading

I started the countdown one month back. And when there was only 1 week left, the anxiety took over and I was operating my… Continue reading

    • Need a break

      I think my health is not improving. It’s in fact sliding. The last few weeks have been hectic and stressful. We went to Seattle to visit a dying aunt and meet up with a newfound cousin. 3 days later, we drove down to San Diego for Hung’s high-school reunion. 3 nights, partying and drinking in… Continue reading

    • Bèo dạt mây trôi

      This weekend, we celebrate Eric’s birthday. He grows up, I grow old. Time flies. Only memories remain … On his real birthday, we went to Pro Bono, a small cozy italian restaurant in Palo Alto. Today is C’s last day in the States. Since SW, I made a point not to be closed to any boy/girl/friend… Continue reading
