At my worst

At my worst

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
