Hey
there! I used to put some about-me crap in here, but I don't think I like it
anymore and so decided to make some changes. Also forget about the password
box down there, I just don't wanna delete it yet.
Do you know who I am? Yes? No?
Maybe? Tell you the truth, I don't talk about myself that much. You know,
introvert bullshit. That's the way I was born, or grew up, I don't know.
Which ever it is, one thing I know for sure is that I'm not gonna change
now, or ever will. You probably don't give a damn anyway :-P
Couple of things about myself. I
was born in Hanoi, capital city of Vietnam of course, grew up there until
1992. I went to a elementary school named Thanh Cong when I turned 6.
Actually, my parents wanted me to attend school a year earlier with my
cousin, but the school rejected me because I was too little. Thanh Cong was
very far from my home, and so every morning my mom would take me to school.
It was a very long way, now I come to think of it, especially if you were
riding a bicycle. Because my mom worked in a university nearby, the idea was
that after classes I would go to her work place and spend the afternoon
there. Or if I were to take afternoon classes then my mom would pick me up
on her way home. I enjoyed myself, yes. Well, why not, right? As a child you
don't even care about anything, just enjoy the day as it comes. That's the
way I was.
Ugh... damn, I probably am going on
too much now... I might write a longer version later.
In 1992, when I was 10, we moved
to Japan, and I spent the next three years there. That three years were the
most important episode of my life. A lot had happened...
I got back to Vietnam in spring
1996, and attended Chu Van An Junior High, where I met 3 of my best friends.
We were in the same class all the way to high school, and would have
graduated together had I not gone to the States in my senior year. We still
keep in touch, and still are best friends today. I don't think I will ever
find anyone quite like them again in my life. I am grateful for having met
them, always.
I came to the US in 2001, a new
chapter of my life. Met a hell lot of people, interesting people. And the
story still goes on...
I believe as you go along the
road, there will be those who walk in and out of your life and leave
footprints behind. Those marks may be deep or shallow, may stay for always
or will go away, but they all make you the way you are today. So thank you,
yes, the one who is reading this, for being part of my life.
