Tôi thấy thằng em tôi ra hè ngồi hút thuốc

Nghe khói thuốc thơm mà lòng xót xa…

Tôi sẽ bảo nó: “Hút đi rồi chết sớm”

Nó sẽ lầm lì “Ai mà chẳng chết”

Tranh luận, sẽ chẳng đi đến đâu, vì trước đây tôi cũng từng như nó

Tôi im lặng, mà lòng xót xa, vì con người ta không hiểu nhau

Không hiểu nhau! Không hiểu nhau!

The flight is at 10:30AM and luckily the waiting lounge is wifi - covered

So what’s on today?

VN becomes member of WTO

And nuclear and corruptions and politicians’ promises

And crimes which are most read

And the speaker saying something in Vietnamese, English and Mandarin

And me.. sitting here typing and waiting to join the queue… several minutes left

What are you doing on a Saturday afternoon?

You’re sitting in a cafe, listening to a female singer whose voice reminds you of Joan Baez.

You’re sitting in a cafe, watching members of the Linux user community chatting via IRC, and hate yourself because you don’t understand some of the things they’re talking about

You’re sitting in a cafe, trying to configure Joomla for your site, and find youself going nowhere. And that’s only Joomla, save Typo3!

You’re sitting in a cafe, your parents are hundreds of miles away, your siblings are struggling with life, your dear one is working and your friends are busy

You’re sitting in a cafe, and time is going by

The first time you say ‘Thank you’ to the public bus driver, it’s difficult. The second time it’s easier and the third time it’s already a habit.

The first time you give your seat to a lady in a public bus it’s somehow difficult. The second time it has become a pride

The first time you kiss your sister in her forehead it’s difficult. The next times it’s natural.

The self has the strength of a wild beast but it’s far easier to tame and learns very fast. Lucky for those who want to, and are able to tame it

My mom wants me to be humble all the time..

But I’m more than surprised to se myself listed in the company’s nominations for the year’s service award.

It’s funny, as the examples listed in my part are mostly other people’s efforts, and all has happened long ago. Aya I’m happy to get my share of the credit anyway…

Will try to remain in next year’s list !

I’ve just bought www.wikisolutions.net

That’s it. The name says it all

Today one of my friends says ‘Let’s stop procastinating’ and another comments ‘It’s a good advice’
…

Imitated from Mr Còi:

Your Power Level is: 75%

You’re a very powerful person, and you know that all of your power comes from within. Keep on doing what you’re doing, and you’ll reach your goals.

Last weekend I relocate to another house, even further from the city center

I called a relocation service and asked the truck driver to bring 2 porters who helped the brothers to safely finish everything within one morning.

The sucess factors:

• It is a project-based operation. All parties understands and agress to the scope of the work. The sooner they finish the job the sooner they get the money and have a rest
• The project was well-prepared. My brother has spent the whole week packing things into boxes and bags
• Sufficient  budget. The drivers and porters are happy with the money, no bargaining at all
• Members in the team are new to each others, so everyone is kind and fair.
• Expertise. It’s the porters who had the idea to use a rope to lower most of the packs from 2nd floor to the ground and save a lot of efforts.
• Safety manager. It’s me

And that’s it. Now it takes me 45 mins in the bus to  reach the city center!

Tôi mới được người bạn share cho một báo cáo của AMR Research ở đây. Báo cáo có tiêu đề ‘ERP Doomsday scenario: Death by SOA?’

Một bài viết đáng để đọc, đặc biệt cho những người làm ERP hoặc đang xúc tiến SOA , nhất là ở VN nơi mà mọi người đang hô hào ‘đi tắt đón đầu’ và đang trải nghiệm những khó khăn bước đầu của việc triển khai ERP

Có rất nhiều thông tin hữu ích về thị trường ERP Vietnam trong chuyên mục ERP trên WEBKETOAN

Chúc tất cả một ngày tốt lành!

I love the pavements in the center area of District 1 where one can walk very easily and safely. Everyone is smiling, including the motobike drivers who always try to offer me ‘motorbike’, ‘massage’ and ‘young ladies’

This evening I have a walk from Notre Dame to the end of Dong Khoi street, have some fun playing games with these motobike drivers - who think I’m a Chinese - and feel myself sweating and heating from the quick paces

Central Saigon is beautiful!
