Here are the list of 27 things I think I’ll try to do before graduation. And you should do it, too!
Some of the things on this list I’ve already done or have been doing, some are not. But of course I’ll try to do as many as I could throughout the rest 3 years of my university life.
Here we go, straight from point 1 to point 27.
Prepare an elevator pitch that sells YOU.
Ask yourself: “What am I living for?” and try answering that in 1 sentence or 2.
Don’t try to please everyone. There are so many bad and jealous people in the world. If they hate you, let them. The more successful you are, the more people hate you.
Get into a relationship. College is the best time for a relationship. When you’re in it, don’t think about how you 2 are going be in future! (But don’t get into 1 just for the sake of not wanting to be single)
Make friend with a professor; see how you can learn from him/her and how he/she can learn from you.
Sometimes, send someone you love a postcard, even if he/she just stays 1-minute walking distance away from you.
Keep a logbook. Paste it on the wall and fill in daily. Imagine looking at these 5 years from now? Continue reading →
Yet another the day at work, i dont know why i couldn’t really focus on the work in the afternoon. I kept distracting myself from other stuffs.
One day all children arrived today. Probably take me around 1 week to finish the book. must keep moving, cant let loose. must try to apply GTD to get them done. Must push yourself, can’t keep relaxing anymore.

Đi xem 1 trận ice hockey, ôi mẹ ơi hay chưa từng thấy, trước giờ cứ tưởng ice hockey chán lắm, ai dè nó hay vậy, hoàn toàn bị cuốn vô trận đấu. thật xứng đáng với đồng tiền bỏ ra (cũng ko mắc lắm haha). ngồi trên khán đài mà mơ 1 ngày mình trượt băng giỏi như mấy thằng cầu thủ ở dưới… Continue reading →
I cannot stress enough how much i love stockholm. it is a total different experience. or is i because i didn’t really enjoy this much during the time i was in singapore. that might be true. remember back in singapore i hardly do anything crazy and totally random. here i do that really often. and life is really happening. couldn’t count the time laughing together with the guys-gang.
omg i totally love it, i dont know how to describe mby words. buy i love it. i love it. i love you, Stockholm.
I took a drinking competition with Shiv during his birthday party yesterday, I don’t even remember why I took up this thing). Extremely fun party (or is it just me?). After drinking 8 ot 9 cups of Bacardi, was a bit loạng choạng and started to feel high (yankai: he doesn’t need to get drunk to get this high)
and the fun began from there.
The non profits that get maximum funding are the one that don’t need them. The ones doing sincere work are good at their work and bad at raising funds.
9h sáng, mặt trời vẫn chưa tỉnh. Nó nhìn tới nhìn lui, chả thấy ổng đâu. Chắc là lại bị mây che mất rồi. Mà với cái điệu này thì ko biết đến 12h có ló ra kịp ko nữa.
Ngồi trên xe bus đến chỗ làm là thời điểm nó thích nhất trong ngày, đặc biệt là khi được ngồi 1 mình nữa. Cây 2 bên đường lá ngả vàng dần. Lá đang rụng dần. Nhiều cây lì hơn chút vẫn đang cố gắng níu kéo lá lại. Rồi vài tuần nữa mày cũng trọc hết thôi, nó nghĩ.

Tuyết rơi.
Đang đi bộ ra station thì tuyết rơi. Nhìn thấy tuyết rơi, tự nhiên thấy hay hay. Lấy máy ảnh ra chụp mãn nguyện, mặc kệ nó đang đứng giữa đồng cỏ mà mới vài tuần trước người ta còn chăn bò.
Kể cũng lạ. 30 phút trước tuyết còn rơi như mưa phùn, vậy mà 30 phút sau trời lại nắng chan chan.

Huy: …
“Work hard. Be nice to people, always be nice to people“.
She moved on, “When I was an chemist employee, I’m nice to everybody. I fetched my colleagues to work almost everyday, and I had to work up at 5h in the morning..”, she continued with other examples about keeping a smile, being the last person to leave office etc.
A hand raised “Were these things about being nice to people for a purpose? Is there a case that the person felt s/he was being made used of?”, I asked her.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as people find you nice, they’ll treat you well back“. Continue reading →
