On the following day,I had a day off school.It was a rainy day.While I was playing with my sister's son,a policeman called me.He asked me if my motobike number is 0605.I was very suprised.I couldn't understand why he asked me that question.When he saw the motobike which is put in my house,he laughed:" You put another one motobike"."Oh my goodness".I ven couldn't imagined that I could do that.By the true,although I drive motobike for 3 years,but I hadn't remember my motobike number yet.And when I went to the police office,I realized that there is very little diference between my motobike and another one.At that time,I felt very embrassed.

I am usually careless; therefore, I encounter many embarrassing moments. On the fifteenth of this month, I went to my evening English class. I left my motorbike outside and entered the classroom. When the class was finished, I rode my motorbike home. On the following day, I had a day off from school. While I was playing with my nephew,a policeman came to see me. He asked if my motorbike’s license number was 0605. I was surprised. I couldn’t understand why he asked me such question. When he saw the motorbike that I rode home last night,he laughed,“You mistakenly took someone else's motorbike.” “Oh my goodness,“ I thought, “I can’t imagine that I have done that.” The truth is that even though I have been riding my motorbike for the last three years, I have not memorized the license number yet. When I came to the police station, I realized that there were few differences between the two motorbikes. I was quite embarrassed.

Mid Autumn
One of the most known events in September is the Mid Autumn Festival. This is the day that the moon shines the brightest during the year. Although the day is celebrated rather joyously among my oversea friends in Vietnam, I ended up spending the night quite lonely and quietly. The day brought back many childhood memories. I thought about the shiny red lotus paper lantern which I could only own one in my dreams. We were very poor back then that my parents could never afford to buy us those lanterns. Instead, we made our own lanterns from used milk cans, notebook papers, and our creativity. We didn’t get to have moon cakes, nor Oolong tea. Those were substituted by the less expensive commodities like homemade yucca cake (banh khoai mi) and homemade warm soybean milk. We used to live in a top most floor one room apartment with a big terrace balcony. So while others marveled the moon from the ground, we had the best seats where the moon shone brightest and closest. Those were the happiest days of my life. Tonight, as the moon still shines brightly above from outside of my window, I still can smell the blended aroma of the yucca cake and the soybean milk my mom used to make. I still remember clearly how to make those simple lanterns which we enjoyed so much.
Another night slowly passes as the moon continues to shine. The older I am, the more I treasure life, knowing that for each moment passes by I can only go back to revisit them in memories. Look out your window and capture the moment! Have a wonderful Mid Autumn night, everyone!
