Quay qua bên phải, rồi quay qua bên trái hơn hai tiếng đồng hồ rồi mà tui vẫn ngủ chưa có vô. Chết rồi !!! sáng mai thức dậy rồi sẽ ể ỏi, đôi khi còn nằm nướng trên gường thì không hay cho mấy... Thế là tui viết vài hàng để coi con mắt tui có thay đổi gì không ?

Hôm trước mạ tui đi shopping ở chợ Cồn Đà Nẵng, Vietnam. Mạ tui ghé ngang qua hàng áo quần rồi mua mười cái underwears. Bà bán hàng đếm "1 2 3 ... ... 8 9 10" rồi bà bán hàng gói lại đưa cho mạ tui ...

Khi về tới nhà mạ tụi lại mở ra xem và đếm ... đếm đi đếm tới vài lần thì cũng có tám cái ... rồi mạ tui phàn nàn " Ôi chao ôi !!! tao mua mười cái quần xịp, mằn răng mà hắn đưa cho tao có tám cái, làm ăn buôn bán kiểu như ri thì chỉ có cách mất khách hàng thôi "

Honest is the key to success in business... Nói tới đây tự nhiên mắt của tui liêm diêm ... Tui phải đi ngủ, khi khác tui sẽ nói vài điểm yếu kém của tụi ngoại quốc về business của họ ...

Di 13 oi, if you’d written in English, you would have slept after a couple of sentences. Let me try to translate it this time.

--- o0o ---

I rolled to my right then rolled to my left! I’ve been tossed and turned for the last couple of hours and still couldn’t sleep. Darn it, I’ll be tired tomorrow morning, but if I'll just sleep in then it won't look too good. Well, I'll try to write something and see if it changes.

Few days ago, my mom went shopping at Cồn Market in Đà Nẵng. She stopped by a clothing store and bought ten pieces of underwear. The salesperson counted them before her, then wrapped them up and handed her the package.

When my mom got home, she opened the package and counted … then counted again for a few times, but there were only eight pieces in it. She complained, “Oh my goodness gracious, I bought ten pieces, but she only gave me eight. If she keeps doing the business this way then she’d lose all the customers.”

Honesty is the key to success in business… At this point, my eyes feel tired … I've got to sleep. I’ll talk about some of my unpleasant experiences with foreign businesses some other times.

Kiss and Slap

A cute young girl, an old lady and three guys were on the train. It was dark when the train passed by the bridge. Suddenly, the noise of the kiss and slap happened.

An old lady thought," Young people today are so obvious."

A cute young girl thought, " Why they kiss an old lady, but not kiss me ? "

A first guy thought, " If the train pass by the bridge, I'll kiss again."

A second guy thought, " Who dare to kiss me again, I'll slap that person harder."

A third guy thought, " If I know someone slap me, I'll beat that person to death."

Accident

A girl hit the guy's car while they were driving. A girl got out of the car quickly and said, " Your car and my car are damage, but both of us are fine. This is the chance for us to get to know each other." A guy agree with the girl.

A girl continued and said, " Wow. How lucky it is ? The cars are dented, but the bottle of the wine is still good. Let drink. You and me cheer up."

The guy sipped a few wine and gave the bottle back to the girl. The girl put the wine away.

The guy said, " Why don't you drink?"

A girl said, " No, I am waiting for the police coming."

I change[1] my mind and I don't want to talk about someone else's negative[2] business right now. Do they[3]make it better if they know it? I think the purpose of this website is sharing/learning English or whatever it is, so I try my best to type in English. The topic diary[4] is a daily written record of personal experiences and observations.

This afternoon a blond lady kissed me on my cheek instead of said[5] "Hello". I guess she is kind of [6]friendly person. [7] She also kissed everybody that she knows.

When I got home, a little two years old boy, my neighbor son, looked at me and smiled all the time, and then he kissed me on my cheek before he went to his home.[8] Wow !!! I got two kisses today. They make[9] me less stressful, and I forget[10] the sadness. I still don't know how to figure out how to make my life better.

BearLacLoi, Thanks for translation. Sometime, I have a hard time to express in English that why I type in Vietnamese :)

imsofa,
I will hug you if I see you in real life :DWho know[1] I may see you around in Đà Nẵng. Long time no see. How is your love life treating you?

Yesterday, I got up at 11 A.M and I[2] went to the mall. I stopped by the Express store and bought a blue blouse. The reason I bought this blouse is because I like the inflate neck that will cover my flate[3] chest :D Then, I stopped by Planet Smoothie and got a cool blended smoothie. I love the smell of the peanut butter from it.

Today, I stopped by the club house and played poker haha I didn't win, but I enjoyed playing it. This game makes me feel trembling[4]with excitement.

Right now, I am neither on[5] the mood to learn English nor to cook. Yes. Yes. No. No. I have to go order some french fries and coke.

[Babie Lisa]

This new[1] baby was born, and a fairy said, "Whenever this baby cries and call someone's name that person will die." When the baby turned 3 years old, a[2] baby said, "Mommy." Next day, a[2] baby's mom die. One year later, a[2] baby turned 4 years old. A[2] baby said, "Grandma." Next day, the grandmother die[3]. One month later, the baby said, "Daddy." The father felt sad. He thought that he will die next day. He went to a club and got drunk. He got home late. Next morning, he woke up. He noticed that the guy next door, his neighbor, die[4]...

[1] Suddenly, the noise of the kiss and slap happened -> Suddenly, they heard the sound of a kiss and slap.
[2] The ... same problem as the last one. You have to be able to distinguish between "the" and "a".
[3] Why did they kiss an old lady
[4] and not me?
[5] dares
[6] who slapped

Dad & Mom

Bear and Steven sat in the coffee house and had a conversation.

Bear said, " You should find a girlfriend that look[1] like your mom. So, your mom will like a[2] girl."

Steven took Bear's advise[3] and searched for a girlfriend. Finally, Steven found a girl who look exactly like his mom.

Steven said," You are right. My mom is very happy and like this girl a lot."

Bear said, " That's good. What is the matter now ?"

Steven replied, " Nothing. The thing is that my dad hate[4] this girl."

[1] that look -> who looks
[2] the
[3] advise - is to give counsel to someone. advice - someone's opinion or suggestion. So in this case, you'd want to use advice.
