Well, nothing really when I write. But I have problem shouting F*** you. And this allergy cost me $400 dollar. The offer was I would be paid the amount if I was happy shouting all the dirty words in Vietnamese, probably for a fantasy game that had something to do with Vietnam. Some other nice exchanges are 'I'll send you to hell, filthy animal', 'Skin them, put them in the dirt', 'wave goodbye bast***'

And there's a long list of things that I am tired of:

- Seeing naked men at the gym

- Seeing odd things staying the same at work

- Hearing people shouting at their kids (not that I don't do it from time to time)

- Seeing people put their feet on seats on the train

- Hearing about lack of discipline at schools in the UK (is there such thing as discipline any more?)

- Listening to health officials in Vietnam refering to the cholera outbreak as 'acute diarrhea' for fear of being shun by foreign tourists

Not an exhausted list though.

Keep well!

- Does mum love you?

- Does she?

- Do you love mum?

- I love you, darling!

- Do you love mum?

- I do.

I lied. Shouldn't have but I did. It's too complicated to explain to a four year old about relationships. But I'll try next time she asks.

But my lie cost me nothing.

Another lie this week cost one of the most celebrated men in the business world his job and millions of dollars. Like Bill Clinton,Lord Browne is a genius but his sexual intelligence is probably below average. He lied in a statement to court that he met his boyfriend in a park. In fact, they met online, via an escort service site.

And where do you think lying would most likely to occur? It's apparently in the workplace. I recently heard in radio programme that something like up to 50 per cent of communication at work involved some level of deception. Astonishing, isn't it?

In other news:

1. Dan learnt the phrase 'crying over spilled milk' on Friday. He bursted into tears when he realised that a picture he drew in his golden time (a kind of reward for kids who behave) was left at school.

2. Both Dan and May fall in love withFun Radio

3. Dan kept asking Dad who he loved most. Not satisfied with 'I love both of you' he asked:

- What colour do you like?

- Violet.

- No, you can't like violet, it's a girl's colour. What're other colours that you like?

- Blue.

- OK, so you like me most then. My uniform's colour is blue.

4. The local election results showed that the Conservatives won almost 50 per cent of the vote while Labour got just over 30 per cent. I fear that Labour will soon lose power at national level as well.

It's all sorted. The flowers, the gift, the card. To my ex. From my kids. Her birthday is a day before the international women's day (if you know what day it is).

I've been feeling oh so calm these days. I take each and every single day as it comes. And my ex's anniversary somehow reminds me about the love that died a premature death. No post mortem examination was carried out and I am still 50 per cent unsure about why it died. But I am sure that it's over for sure.

And I have this new refrain for 'Over and Over'

Over and over it's really over

Over and over it's truly over

You see the light of peace in my eyes

You see the calm, you see the pride

Nana Mouskouri - Over and Over

And here're another two songs that tend to bring back memories of lost love.

Boulevard - Dan Byrd

When The Smoke Is Going Down - Scorpions.

(Can't find a quality version on youtube.)

...

Here it is finally

It's a nice surprise that both of the later songs were posted on youtube by my country(wo)men. And the quality is excellent.

I remember translating this song and jotted it down somewhere. Can't remember where though.

Chỉ khi em đã xa anh mất rồi

Chợt anh bỗng thấy trong lòng đớn đau

Và anh lại tới nơi ta hay ngồi

Như anh đã tới bao lần trước đây
