Rainy Christmas in Melbourne
Hi guys, how are you doing? It is Christmas and there are shower and ice rain outside right now in my area. I guess God wants to bring Australia some snow It is strange to have ice rain in Christmas but it helps cooling down the temperature which I really like in these hot summer days. Nevertheless, it is sad when seeing the rain in a holiday. Today I have to go to Phở Hùng Vương in Footscray to have brunch with my classmate-housemate Eddy because most of shops closed early yesterday and we could not buy noodles for our usual meal. Anyway, eating out sometimes, especially Vietnamese food, is good and I enjoy it. I had a Huế Beef Noodle at that restaurant and it was okay. However, I would recommend Cố Đô restaurant, another Vietnamese & Chinese...
Entry for December 11th, 2011
What’s up, buddies? It’s me for another weekend blog entry. It’s getting colder outside even though summer is already in the town. After nearly 5 months living here. I could see that the weather in Melbourne is not stable at all. In fact, it’s keep changing with few raining days, low temperature follow by some other sunny and dry days. However, I wish the weather will be a bit of cold on Christmas. That’s would be better for a holiday. I just finished my presentation for Strategy intensive Saturday class and everything was seemed to be fine. We, as a group of 3 members, present a business case study about Starbucks in the US and give the company some analysis as well as recommendations for future actions. We answered all the...
Early December bad news
Well, it’s just the beginning of December and I’m pretty busy right now with my stuff at school and real life. First, this is a freaking busy week for me with group assignments due all the time. Personally I like to do individual work which I could spend and control my own time and idea for it. In addition, I take all responsibility for my outcome so no regret after submitting the final version. One thing to be added is that I don’t want the conflicts between team members to increase very single day. Well, I have been taught some techniques to solve conflicts effectively in school but I’m sure that in many situations, those methods are just crap. This week I have to carry out a presentation and report for intensive Strategy class on...
It’s December
Once again, it is going to the end of a year. It’s December already. People say this is the time for holiday, happiness, family and the loved one. Going around the streets you’ll see the Christmas atmosphere is coming with happy smiles on faces. I will be off from the school for about 10 days to enjoy doing assignments at home while friends are coming back to their hometown with their family Anyway, intensive courses could reduce the time and living cost so it is a trade-off. I’m nearly finish the half way back to home. However, I guess I will miss Melbourne a lot. This is such a peaceful and interesting multicultural city to discover. I plan to go to Sydney and some other places when completing the program but still have to see if it is...
Spring/Summer Semester
Hey, it is me again. How are you guys doing now? I guess that some are fighting with the final exam and the others are enjoying break time or organizing stuff to go back to their hometown. It is definitely not my case because I have completed the first week of my Spring/Summer semester at the time of writing this entry. You may think like I am a hard-working student or crazy enough to take this term but actually, my course is an intensive program which will be finished in one year. That is the reason why I need to take 3 semesters per year. However, I missed 2 classes in the first week as the result of being lazy and sick. This would be never happen again in the next week, let’s try and see Another thing that I need to share with you is that we will have...
Melbourne Cup 2011
Today is the day of the Melbourne Cup which is celebrated on the first Tuesday of November each year in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This carnival will happen in Flemington Racecourse that is not too far from my area. Known as “the race that stops a nation”, there would be definitely a lot of people attend this public event. I am impressed by beautiful ladies with gorgeous dresses and colorful flower hats. I think this day is also known as Ladies Day with the fashion show and competition by Myer. Others are also heading for the Racecourse because today is a holiday for most of Victorian citizens. I tried to organize time to buy some stuff but all the sellers are going to Flemington so that I have to wait until tomorrow. I guess that they are quite...
I’m back
Hello, I guess it has been a long time that I have not written anything for my own blog. Now I’m back with a brand new look website and hopefully new weekly entries about my current life. First, all of my articles will be written in Vietnamese (as my first language) or English (I am still learning and improving it everyday). Second, you could read and leave a comment without having to register now but I have included a form in the right sidebar for anybody who wants to have a personal account. Third, the About and Contact pages are also created for your information as many people want to know how handsome I am and how to connect to such a cool guy like me. Another interesting function of my new blog is that you can like and share with your friends about my...
