Shmily at National Stadium

Before the match

Vietnam vs Singapore

AFF Cup

Shmily at Changi Airport

It's ten minutes to the boarding time and I'll fly back to Vietnam for a short holiday trips of 8 days after more than one year. I don't know why but I have no special feeling. I think I feel more comfortable here in Singapore. Ha ha. You might not agree but after more than three years living here, I feel like at home when I'm in Singapore. Anyway, I'm going to meet my friends again later and it's supposed to be a lot of fun. Yeah!

Study for exam

Despite the difficult final exam, Shmily still tries to be as optimistic as possible. The picture was taken when he sat in the basement of Com1 to study for the papers. The landscape outside is very nice.

The golden fish

Whenever you got angry with me, you used to come here, sit down at the bench and look at the golden fish. Now I wish if I can find you whenever you are angry with me, as before...

Sleeping Shmily

Feeling sad and lonely, Shmily decided to sleep to forget all the sorry moments. He wished if only he would never wake up...

PGP and the harbour

This is PGP and the sea port looking from the 10th floor.

Debug forever

This evening I help Sophie debug her project and it seems that the task can never end. I've been waiting for her to cry but she still hasn't cried for me to see. Ha ha

Tea with old SaS people

On the occasion of Grand Launch, we 8th Start-up at Singapore people gathered together for a warm tea while there was a cold rain outside. It has been two years since we last met. I'm the only person who gets fatter after the long time, unfortunately. I miss Peter and Christina but they were not with us tonight. Good night!

Blank mind after the exam

I've just walked out from a certification exam and it was so intensive that my mind went blank. Now I'm going back home, after which I'm delivering another talk on the same topic!

New vending machine

There's a new vending machine at the old Soc1 building. Yet I still never forget where we were together. Time flies so fast.

Rain in Singapore

It suddenly rains heavily when I started to go back home. I like the cool air when it rains but definitely don't feel happy being outside in the rain. I have an umbrella in my bag but I hate using it. Thus I get wet finally.

Out of noodles

I'm running out of Vietnamese instant noodles soon and was waiting for a new supply.

Coding day

This morning I went to Com1 to code with Ren Zhi for his 3266 project and in the end he suggested taking this photo before we went to Mc Donald for lunch. He liked my phone K850i very much.

Business canteen during peak hour

There are long queues of people in front of every stalls. No matter what cousine you choose to eat, you'll always need to wait for a very long time. Anyway, I cannot change my lunch time, right? Horrible!

SunRay

SunRay is a small hardware box running Solaris system. It is the standard platform used in Sun Microsystems office for all Sun employees. The employees can have the flexibility to switch to any SunRay in the office without losing configurations and documents.

As an intern at Sun, I also have access to SunRay. In the picture is one of the SunRay which I used to work today. You can see how small it is. The 20.1 inch monitor, the Unix keyboard and the optical mouse are all branded by Sun. It's a nice working environment I have to say. If it didn't take me half an hour to travel to the office, I would come there everyday.

Shmily in Dental Center

I didn't feel well for the last three days. Finally I discover that it's because of a wisdom tooth in my jaw. I'm really nervous. I pulled out one wisdom tooth last year and it was so painful that I couldn't eat anything for two weeks. Moreover, the charge for pulling it out in Singapore is from 150 to 400 dollars, too expensive! I wish I can wait until December when I can come back to Vietnam and mom can take care of me when I'm too painful to do anything. However, I think the tooth just can't wait to grow, and even if it can, it will spoil the whole holiday of mine in december. Poor me!

Sleepy in lecture

CS2250 Fundamentals of Information System. It is a very cold and sleepy lecture. I just want to go home and take a nap.

The power of OpenSolaris

I got this tattoo from Sun and I love it. It looks as if you had a mysterious power in your hand and when you open your hand, you can utilise the power. Yes, it is a power, the power of OpenSolaris! I want to buy an inkjet printer to print my own tattoo. It's really cool!

The trail behind our paradise

Since then, you started to know I love you...

The spot has gone!

...and Shmily gets back his handsome face and confidence. There's still a little mark at that point though.

The spot!

Oh my god! What's this? The doctor said it was getting better so just let it be but I can see it's growing bigger and bigger. It not only makes me feel uncomfortable but also makes my face ugly. I hate it and it hasn't disappear even after one week. What the hell! God bless me...

Shmily at Sentosa

The ocean awaits you! Come back here and we'll play together at the beach. I really feel missing you. Without you, the beautiful beach becomes meaningless...

Mr. Coca

This is the vending machine at the old SoC1 building. Each time I'm waiting for the bus here, I often recall those days when we were still here. I like coca and you do, too. You like the apple flavour and thus I bought you one although it's more expensive than others. We shared the drink and felt very happy. When you come back here, I'll take you to those memorable places again...

Shmily returns

Today I will come back to PGP and this is a view from my block 12 towards the harbour. Beautiful!

The memorable bus stop

... because there were too many memories there.

The way to the bus stop

Dear, do you remember this path? You used to see me go to work every morning. I can never forget it as well as the story you often tell me about. When will you be back? I want to see you at the bus stop every morning, again...

Behind the paradise...

... is a small road leading to the bus stop with lots of trees. Can you recognize this place, dear? We were here, together.

The Silver Cars

My dear,

I still remember the first time you came to Singapore. You told me joyfully that you like silver cars a lot. I gave you a smile back because I thought you were so childish and your smile was just as lovely as those actresses in the Korean movies I watched. And now, whenever I see the silver cars, I think of you, I recall the happy time that we had together...

Soon after you left, I was kicked out of the paradise where we were together. I took this picture in front of the new house, on the way to the bus stop. There's a car park with a number of silver cars. If you were here, you would like it a lot.

I'm moving back to the old place but without you by my side, it's no longer a happy paradise with joy and laughs. I miss you. So do the pigs and crabs...

Sun Microsystems Pte. Ltd.

I've just come back from Sun's office. It locates in the Central Mall building and occupies two storeys 6 and 7. Well, it's a quite nice place I have to say, splendid, large, modern and tidy. That's also the place where I'll work for next year.

After one year joining Sun as a campus ambassador in Nus, this year I get promoted and take over the coordinator position from my previous manager, who has just graduated. The position is challenging and I'm still struggling a lot. Hope everything will be fine.

My black shoes

Do you think they're new shoes? Well, they look quite new although I'm quite sure that they should be more than one year old. The reason why they don't look their age is ... well, you've probably known, because I seldom use.

I hate shoes because they make me totally uncomfortable. Together with T-shirt, shoes make me feel extremely hot. I thus will sweater a lot and it doesn't look good at all.

I'm going to change a new more comfortable shoes this time when I go back to Vietnam. Although I might not look so great with the new shoes, I prefer to go for comfort when it comes to be a whole day in the office. Splendid shoes simply don't work.

The happy trail

Also known as the trail of memories, the path was used as a shortcut to Nus. We were here once upon a time and both of us love the romantic scene here with a lot of trees along the sides just as in the fairy tales.

Esplanade

Sweet memories but there're still two more years to go after the wish hasn't come true.
