The days you are most uncomfortable are the days you learn the most about yourself

My visa is unsuccessful and rejected, and 15 days left in Melbourne. BANG. My company faces financial crisis and relocates to another area. 

He said looking my smile seems quite not okay these days. I was about to give up everything here, and I told him God must have a perfect plan for me. Vietnam is the place he wants to send me to, indeed. 

“You told me I need to work hard and encouraged me to stay strong, and now you cannot even keep this spirit for yourself…

Doing master and stay here with me…” 

Hassle falls into me but it is still good 🙂 It would be kinda insane to start things all over again, but I definitely will reach there and make you proud. 

 

Small notes 🙂 

1. teach me how to play chess, and I know you tries to make your moves less wise. 

2. I don’t have time for DNA and philosophy books, why don’t you tell me in verbal :-ss 

3. I now learn your own language   “smj uri rq”

4. I now got a translator and narrator for Sherlock series 

His name is JD

Have you ever met someone and all of sudden you feel like to talk to them?

This is my highlight of the week. Bach and I stopped at Hungry Jacks for a supper after work. The topic for that night was about future, after graduate life and settling down in Australia. Bach concerned about his future plan, and being under a hectic week with tests made him be even worse.

An old man passed by and he was playing with his ball. The story was all started with the ball, which was bounced over to us. Bach then picked it up and brought back to him. I awkwardly asked him

“where have you just been?”

and was looking at his cap with the words “The Doctors” on it, another question popped up

“are you a doctor?”

The old man did not hesitate to response to such my lame questions. Then he welcomed his 2 new friends by asking what are we doing.

Our night have been enlightened by uplifting stories from that man. He told us about his son, who successfully got into med school in Fremantle after having 2 attempts, how he got over with his back injury and how amazing it was when he met his old friend after 30 years being disconnected.

I saw on Bach’s face at the moment, he felt motivated. He kept holding that man’s hands and said thank you for making him feel better. He learnt how to catch his future, followed his goal since then. Kindness overload was at the max when he gave us his contact and invited us for a brunch this weekend. He wants us to show him our CVs.

This is my first time that I get such a great opportunity. I know it would be more important for Bach as it is just so the right time when facing many uncertain choices.

Beautiful things still happen in life 🙂

The Fault in Our Stars

4 Apr

The book I am currently reading on. The movie based on this novel would be coming this June and I am eager to see it. It is all about cancer fighting and cheesy love between two teenagers. John Green who is the author, does not tell us a story as desperate as other cancer stories. All of his words optimistically motivate and encourage readers for some reason. 

Best quotes from the book 🙂

“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.” 

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.” 

“It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.” 

“Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence”

My keyboard tells me to type something about one little boy now. Okay I guess some words for this guy do not take too much space here 😛

I first saw that cranky and lanky one when I was working in the restaurant. I just randomly called out loud “hi em” without asking your age and all I got back was a turning-away face. I could feel you were not pretty much interested in this short, old and chubby me. Regardless of your ignorance and childishly arrogant, I still kept the smile in front of you, and did giggle whenever you were about to talk English with customer. Even I felt burst out laughing when you tried to be a leader with commanding voice. I thought we would have got the distance what was happening back then. We saw each other whenever we could work again. 

Then it turned out the sisterhood has been popped out from the middle of nowhere. Same commuting route could be the chance for getting to know you more. I got an accompany together waiting for bus every week. The 2nd year boy from the deep down inside got himself a young hearted, and a bit cheeky personality. I told him any silly thingies I randomly thought of, he hid his mouth and had a pert laugh. I didn’t know since when I comfortably told him about my past relationship. He just listened to the person who was still not yet over her depression, still hold the memories tight.

This boy can talk for over an hour straight when the topic is everything about science, astronomy and academic related. I admit that sometimes I don’t get all what he said, and wants to move on another topic, however, this sister has to keep herself being patience and give chance to the professor-to-be having a mock lecture.

I even like this boy more when I was having a new happiness (could be). I told him almost everything about that and be a love consultant. I am thankful for your advice and care sincerely. Then, he is the one taking me out of the unexpected mess and overcome troubles. You said you can lend me shoulder to cry on, but I realized I need to be bold and get you to see how life could hardly knock you down. 

The time I know you not long, but not too short either, you have been an amazing friend that can put a smile into me. There are still a lot of things I want to share to you, as in my mind you are still a kid. I am looking forward for the best happening to you as you are truly deserved more than that. I love to witness how far you are going to achieve and can see the bright smile again and again.
