10 months ago, I made it to become a university lecturer, apart from another full-time job offer for a hotel pre-opening project that together brought me so much joy in my career and life.

The Moon or the Sun
I like the idea of open ended questions. Those questions that seek for answers with more details, information and thoughts. In my opinion, the answers given by a person who answers an open ended question can tell a lot about who they are. I am just no longer satisfied with survey and other yes or no contexts. Life is much more complicated than that.
Déjà Vu
It's just fastinating sometimes that we encounter unexpected things in life: unexpected people, unexpected gifts, unexpected events. I've caught myself in the middle of all the happenings in life - for most things that have been falling together just how I wanted them to be and there are things that are not. I went to the office today and started working on my ongoing projects. Half a day went by, and after just a few emails being sent and a couple of tense conversations I had at work, just like a blink of an eye, I got a phone call in the middle of the day:
Women’s Unstoppable Journey
The first two months of 2023 have been nothing short of a roller-coaster, but I've been enjoying the ride. thanks to having lots of support from everyone around me.
My EMBA Journey
At times I am approached by one person or another, asking whether or not an MBA Degree is really worth it. The truth is, the more you live in this life and the more you learn, it's just not that simple to give a yes or no answer to any type of question. In other words, the answer to most close ended question would rather be: It depends!
Year of the Tiger in a nutshell 🎀
Honestly speaking, I don’t know what I’ve accomplished in details over the past 12 months. My short-term brain only allows me to track back to what happened to me 6 months ago.
Keeping score
To me, life is a series of events, and it is an art of progress. We all want to be more successful on our own terms, this is why we have been keeping score so that we can achieve our own goals, whether it is about money making, obtaining an education, or finding the love of our lives.
Happiness is (not) my cup of tea
Things are easier said than done. I hear people keep saying that all the time, that you should be happy, you should be smiling, but I personally think, if you always must try to be happy then it will also become nothing but stress. Having said that, I thought I’ve learnt to enjoy all the little things in life. In fact, I believe you will need some constant practice and certain effort into maintaining your state of happiness.
Camellia’s Tea Room
I was told to be quite easy-going when it comes to my ability to drink. I don't get addicted to any type of beverages but rather to have a sip or two when I am happy. I like to make coffee and enjoy a great cup of coffee, but if I get to choose then a cup of tea, perhaps, any kind would be my drink of choice. I like the idea of drinking a cup of tea that makes me feel more calm and relaxed.
World-wine Women
Merry Christmas! This magical Christmas, I decided that I wanted to become a world-wine woman and I was lucky to be invited by Aimee - Chairwoman of Business Women Saigon to attend a private talk and wine tasting. To make it even more memorable, we have recorded this event and make it the first episode on Beyoutiful Vietnam’s YouTube Channel.
