Health update

The headache is almost over yet my body temperature still remains high. When I woke up this morning, it was 39 census degree. Living alone and being in bed with a flu is really worrying.
It’s 38 census degree now, the medicine works.

Although the website seems to be down, it’s not. Here’s what happened.

H1N1 Updates

It came finally; and no one likes this fact. The influenza created such a heavy atmosphere on campus. Students skip their classes. Many people wore a mask today. The school is about to be closed temporarily until next Monday, as far as I know.
People start to panic about the situation. For the first time in [...]

photography vs writing

I have a terrible habit, that I pay too much attention to the technology gadget in hands. That habit, of course, is not something to be proud of. Just want to say that I shouldn’t have any piece of technology in hand, otherwise I may get addicted.
This is also one reason why I don’t have [...]

Never say never

Some things we don’t talk about
Rather do without and just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of, together all the while
You can never say never
While we don’t know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before

The tight cap

I find the school’ bandwidth limit unreasonable. This afternoon, I downloaded the OpenSUSE DVD which is 4.3 GB big. However, the total bandwidth allocation for each student is just 5GB per month and it’s obvious that I only have about 500 MB left for the rest of the month (or maybe I exceed the bandwidth [...]

Entry for a regular day

It has been over a week since the last entry. It seems that I’m starting to get the sense-of-writing again. Unfortunately, I don’t feel so comfortable to write in Vietnamese anymore. Maybe almost a year studying at an English speaking university caused some negative affects on my (written) Vietnamese.
These days, especially after moving the new [...]

July updates

Last Monday, I got the official result of the courses last semester. Yeah, it’s not bad at all and I’m pretty satisfied with the scores. The new semester is going quite well so far except some personal issues.
I have moved to a new house which is just 10 minutes walking from school. I started to [...]
