Vậy là đã xong rồi. 5 năm. Không ngắn, không dài.
Nếu 5 năm mà như vậy, ko dám nói là thành công, nhưng tự hào. Tự hào vì mình có lý tưởng để theo đuổi.
Cũng nhờ nó mà đã giúp mình trưởng thành hơn theo 1 hướng khác. Những con người tôi gặp, những kĩ năng tôi đã dc học, những nụ cười và niềm vui nho nhỏ tôi nhìn thấy càng làm tôi gắn bó hơn với cái công việc này, cái mà nhiều người hay gọi là “ăn cơm nhà vác tù và hàng tổng”.
Ngờ đâu Trại Đoàn Kết là trại cuối cùng của CLB.
Có lẽ cuộc đời mình gắn liền với đoàn, với đội, với tình nguyện.
Ai biết được.
Coi hình trại đỡ nhớ
Còn đây là clip cầu mưa, có lẽ là cái mình nhớ nhất về trại
(or how I said it in Vietnamese, funnily, Việt Nam dza^m)
That was an unforgettable trip. 2 weeks, 35 people. Quang Nam province. We live, we sleep, we work together.
Everything is far from the usual and comfortable lifestyle that we have everyday. We gotta wash our own clothes. The water is not that clean. Sometimes it ran out of water while you’re showering. You have to queue for bath (girls), or showering under the sky (guys).
You have to walk with sands in your slippers. Mosquitoes are just everywhere.
We taught English to Grade2,3,4 pupils in a primary school. The kids are as sweet as angels, making my heart so moved. They’re just so eager when we came only at the second day.
One thing I came to realize after the trip is that the characteristics of non-V are much more apparent than V. Their habits and lifestyles are more standing-out to others. Like Dyvia and Letch with 30 minutes meditation every morning. Or Jia Loon with the (kind of) weird habit of eating, and sticking with his laptop while everybody is hanging out and playing. Xiaojun very straight-forward person, speaking out what she doesn’t like, etc.
The more I think about it, the more true it is. When you write to someone, you tend to pick some unique things about him/her to fill the conversation. and I found myself easier to spot that of non-V than V, in general.
At this age in time, everybody is complicated. No matter how simple their faces and actions show, you’ll never gonna know what’s inside their minds at any point in time. Sometimes they look good, they act good, doesn’t mean they’re internally good. This has partially killed me once, leading me to the stupidest decision ever in my life. If only I could have learnt this lesson 6 months ago.
Sometime I felt angry/uncomfortable with people being careless about common hygiene around, then I remember Jayanta saying “It’s all about initiative..”. He really made a good point, somehow made me feel relieve with my thought.
We formed “Dep Chieu” group, with 4 members Binh, Lan, Ngoc and me. I didn’t know they used to have negative thoughts about me before the trip. Once I know it, it’s all about miscommunication and misperspective, I didn’t do any bad at all (phew!).
I miss Dep Chieu Quang Ngai with his cute and fun-laughing body, can’t stop laughing by just looking at him.
I miss Dep Chieu 38 with “Úp mặt vào mông King Kong” phrase, which transformed into thousands of versions.
I miss Dep Chieu 40 with the stupid pig conversation with me, always end up with a hifi, or “mày về ở với dế đi” that kind of sentence.
Don’t know when our group will reunite again. I’m gonna hug all of them and sing our group song together. sigh..

Truyện hay, nhẹ nhàng. Không ngờ chị của thằng Huy viết truyện hay vậy. Dạo này hâm hâm thích đọc những truyện như vầy
===========================================================
Chiều. Những cơn gió se từ từ lan tỏa khắp các con đường hẹp và dài. Đây cũng là lúc mấy quán nhỏ bên bờ hồ bắt đầu đông khách. Gã nhấp một ngụm cà phê đặc sánh. Cánh hoa tim tím từ đâu bay vào, lượn lờ như cánh bướm rồi nhè nhẹ đáp xuống bàn. Gã vừa nghe kể một chuyện tình thật lãng mạn và nó đang thấm vào gã như vị cà phê đắng thấm vào đầu lưỡi.
_ Ái chà, có khi tình yêu cũng đắng như cà phê đệ tử nhỉ?
_ Ai lại đi so sánh tình yêu với cà phê! Sư phụ có nghe cả trăm chuyện tình cũng không thể lãng mạn hơn được đâu. Làm ơn thôi bắt đệ tử kể chuyện cho một người khô khan như sư phụ nghe đi!
_ Sao lại không chứ? Cả hai đều gây nghiện, đều làm người ta phấn chấn hơn và nếu thiếu nó thì khối người sẽ không còn tỉnh táo nữa!
_ Đệ tử thì thích tình yêu giống như một ly kem ăn trong lúc lạnh thật lạnh. Lúc mình không cần thì nó xuất hiện, cũng thú vị lắm phải không sư phụ?

Lượm từ forum VNC trong lúc đang học bài thi. Nhớ hồi đó trò này khá phổ biến, và rất thích hợp cho on-stage game (game mà có 1 thằng MC đứng trên sân khấu tổ chức cho nguyên đám ở dưới chơi áh).
1. Ông bụt ở chùa bùi cầm bùa đuổi chuột
2. Ông Lê nin lên núi lấy nước nấu lòng
3. Buổi trưa ăn bưởi chua
4. Con lươn nó luồn qua lườn
5. Nồi đồng nấu ốc, nồi đất nấu ếch
6. Con cá mòi béo để gốc quéo cho mèo đói ăn
7. Chị nhặt rau rồi luộc em nhặt rau luộc rồi
8. Lúa nếp là lúa nếp non; Lúa lên lớp lớp lòng nàng lâng lâng
9. Lúa nếp là lúa nếp làng; Lúa lên lớp lớp làm lợn no nê.
10. Luộc hột vịt lộn, luộc lộn hột vịt lạt, ăn lộn hột vịt lạt, luộc lại hột vịt lộn lại lộn hột vịt lạt
Mình còn nhớ 1 câu khá độc, nhớ chính xác là nghe dc câu này ở đâu vào thời điểm nào luôn!
Một ông bụt mặt mọc một mụt mụn bọc
Mai thi.
2h sáng, nói học bài mà không học, nó ngồi đọc truyện linh tinh. Lại là những mẩu chuyện về tình yêu. Dù biết đó là những mẩu chuyện đã dc văn chương hóa, lòng nó cũng cảm thấy nhẹ hẳn đi, đầy cảm xúc.Dạo này nó hay có cảm xúc vậy lắm. Thấy hay hay. Trước giờ nó đâu có vậy đâu.Hay là nó trở lại như trước kia rồi?
Get this from a friend, it made me feel.
“When a GIRL is quiet … millions of things are running in her mind. When a GIRL is not arguing … she is thinking deeply. When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions… she is wondering how long you will be around. When a GIRL answers ”I’m fine” after a few seconds… she is not at all fine. When a GIRL stares at you … she is wondering why you are lying. When a GIRL lays on your chest … she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a GIRL wants to see you everyday… she wants to be pampered. When a GIRL says ” I love you ” … she means it. When a GIRL says ” I miss you ” … no one in this world can miss you more than that. Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person …. Find a guy … who calls you beautiful instead of hot. who calls you back when you hang up on him. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who … kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
I spent a little time doing this picture today. Actually, this ideas has been in my head a few months back, but somehow I can only do it until recently.
These are the people that have formed my life. I enjoy every little moment I’ve spent with each of them. It maybe brotherhood, friendship, or love. To some I really feel they’re members of my second family. And to some, I used to want/have been wanting for my future family 
The order is really random, except for some region. If you haven’t got a chance to know them, let me introduce to you…
Just talked with sis L about her relationship thing, she seems to cheer up now.
I really don’t know why I can cheer up people’s problems quite well, but I can’t solve my own problem, I’m losing the girl I’m in love with.
I don’t know whether you really meant that or just pretend so, I just assume that all this is just a test you want to try on me. Why? Because friends don’t do this to each other, especially good friends! I also remember the time when you said you’re not ready and asked me to wait until May. I am.
Things are getting a little better these days. I kinda twist my mind and force my thoughts in a more positive way, still, on the same thing. Now that thing, instead of pulls me down, becomes something I’d have to fight for.
Besides, I’m recently in love with this woman Susan Boyle who stunned everybody on Britains Got Talent 2009 show. It was just 7 days after her video uploaded on youtube, and the hits jumped to 20M! The news even called her “The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell”. For those of you who don’t know her, this is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
However, that didn’t inspire me as much as these videos do. Check them out yourself

Some times others will not like you or what you do. Just keep on pursuing your passion

Not feeling well, mentally and physically. I’ve been bothered by the stomach thing, and that sleeping disorder for so long. I hate it! Makes me not eating well, not sleeping well, and oversleeping.
This is the worst semester I’ve ever been through in NUS, even if the NOC offer counts.
Suddenly saw a quote from Dr Randy: “Brick walls are there for those who don’t want it badly enough”.
I thought we would be to each other the same way as last time. I was wrong.
I’ve seen, through my life, people around me changing their attitudes, either worse, better, or controversial. Never ever has a change in a person affected me this much… I think about it everyday. When it comes, I can hardly do anything, I really hate that!
I know I’ve done something wrong. But I have never expected this huge change in our behaviors, to be exact, your behavior. Please tell me that it’s the stressing exam time that has changed you, and you’ll be changed back to normal when it’s over. Please!
Among these 2 years I’ve been here, you’re the one I feel most comfortable talking to. I don’t know why when we talked, stories, one after another, started to come out. How many times we stopped talking just of because running out of time, but plenty of stories left.
But look at you now. You didn’t reply my SMS. You didn’t even say bye to me when you left the library, something that a normal friend of mine did, and I really appreciated that. You didn’t tell me early when you left for that trip. You’ve changed the way you talk to me. Stories stop coming out of me; and you did nothing to fill the void, either.
All these, say something.
I know that I’ve done something wrong, I know it was wrong. And I really regret doing that. I have no right to ask anything back. But I’ll just keep asking, and hoping. Can I have my old YOU back, please?
