Okay guys, sorry for late update. It's been months since my last post. I have plenty things happened to me at sem-break that I'm glad to tell you all about it.


About the result for my 2 last assignment in previous semester. I got CR for the article and HD for this web blog. It is not a bad result for me but I still think I and my team can do better with the article. About the web blog, I'm very happy with it ! My first HD in this major and it's just only my work even it just merely reach HD. Another thing I want to say is that I enjoyed with writing the web blog because it is quite similar with a diary. Also, it is convenient to check back things because I often forget things easily haha xD. So that is why I will continue to develop this blog. Maybe it can be important for my portfolio or CV in the future. I also need to train my writing skill because I rarely write since I came to this school. I started to forget some spelling for certain words.


Okay so what happened to me in the sem-break ? Well, I'd say my life in sem-break is quite mundane. I have nothing to do except playing League everyday. I tried to make myself busy in that time but it really not enough. I tried to learn the chorus dance in Dope - a BTS's song - and try writing by my left hand. I learned the dance chorus but the left-hand writing was disrupted because I lack of motivation so I haven't got that skill now. I thought it would be beneficial my brain since my brain was right-dominant since I was born. Learning to use my right-brain can help me do art-work or other similar stuff. I also try to learn more about some great man who contributed a lot to this world. Einstein, Edison, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Bruce Lee, Nicola Tesla, ... but in the end I just feel the same. I bored. I realized with a limited environment, it is harder for anyone to develop themselves, especially me. I can't talk to anyone who is better than me at home to improve myself. It is ridiculous! Now I realized I'm just like any other people. I'm not some geniuses who can study on my own and become a great man. Life is harsh, isn't it? Lucky that I have a better condition comparing to other people. The only sad thing is that it is not in the sem-break.


So, life goes normally until Tet holiday come. My mother and me have to work crazily to clean the house. If you are not Vietnamese, you should know clean your house in Tet is not like other case. You have to clean EVERYTHING in your house, including tables, chairs, stair, floor, doors, window, ... To sum up it is exhausting as hell, even though my mother did most part of it. We just managed to finish it in the last day. Hmmm about my feeling when Tet comes, I'd say nothing special. I like the decoration of my city in Tet and that is the only thing I like. The weather isn't changed and that concerns me alot since the global warming is becoming more severe, and I will never feel cold in my city as I used to, too. 2 days after, I take a plane to go to my hometown alone. Since my father booked the ticket, the process is quite easy for me and I came to my hometown without any big trouble. I spent 6 days here. It's been a long time since the last time I visit my hometown, Nghe An, I'd say about 7 or 8 years ago. I was small back then. Giving out everything in details would be too long so i will narrow it down a bit.

In first day, everyone was so surprised because of my return. I think the happiest one is my grandmother. She was the one who looking forward for my return the most. They had a big party, or celebration? ( it is hard to give out a proper work for this, basically many people come to my grandmother's house to eat and chatting and it is for old people, mostly). Everyone said too many things about me in that night. Because I will be the headman of this big family. It is a big responsibility for me and somehow I was stressed about that a little bit. After that, people went to karaoke. I only sang one song because my siblings want to sings too much that they don't want to make concession to others xD. It's not a big problem for me anyway. Second day, I went to visit my ancestor tomb in Ha Tinh. My uncle explained to me some main thing about my ancestor and my big family. I wonder if American people or British people care that much about their ancestor xD ? Well, I felt lack of sleep in that day so I slept a lot in the bus. I see my grandfather's brother, too. When we back to Nghe An, it's already night so my siblings want to play President card game ( I heard it was called like that in Wikipedia, not really sure.) The stake was really small so I accepted. I lost a bit in the end xD because one of my siblings is quite good in this. Third day, I went to my grandmother's sister to visit her to have a celebration for her longevity. It was tiring. I got headache because I can't sleep in the car. I go until the afternoon and play cards with my sibling when I return there. I won a bit, taking back my lost from previous and have some profit too. It would have been bigger if my brother become like a god and win everything so easily that I have to quit to preserve my profit. At night I stay at my grandmother home to play with my siblings.


Fourth day, nothing big happened, I spent my day at home with my siblings, there is one uncle of mine who know face reading and read fortune through cards xD. I was really curious as same as my siblings so I asked him to watch it for me. Details I will keep in secret xD. My brother have some friends come and visit his house to eat. It was hard for me because I really cannot eat much. I'm not familiar with those foods so I eat only a little.

Fifth day, I went to karaoke with my siblings. I can sing a bit more compared to the previous one. It was quite fun to be honest. There are nothing really big happened in that day. Sixth, I stayed at home all day and watch my siblings play card at night. It was fun xD. Nothing really big happened except another big eating.


Seventh, I return to my city in early morning. I had a conversation with my grandmother before I go. The back trip is quite really irritating because I sit next to a fat man and he vomit in the way back. He also take my place to put his hand on and it was really uncomfortable. I think it is too long so I will have a put other in a second part which I will make later. There are so many to write about xD. Sorry you guys once again for late update.
