emily;

Wow, haven't been here for a long time. And by long time, I mean approximately a month or so.

Yes, as you can probably tell, I am back from my trip to "the homeland", as James Hong said. It was a crazy three and a half weeks, which I don't think I could possibly describe in a succinct manner. There were just too many aspects. Too many moments of sudden bliss, complete freedom, sickness, exhaustion and surprise. I don't think it was quite how I'd imagine it to be - neither worst nor better.

I missed Sydney. I missed my home, and the people that made it that way. And to think I signed up for a whole semester in another country in my fourth year of study.

Talking about university, I'm kind of worried. Why the hell did I choose combined law in the first place? I think the fact of being able to get in, may have completely tilted my reason and judgement. Come on Emily, you don't even know how to pay bills / anything about property, corporatisation .. and you chose law! What was I thinking ... I just hope I'll like it. Looking through the subjects on offer though, I'm more scared that interested.

Paul Azzi, I hope you have a great time in Newcastle, reaching the dreams which all of us were too scared to dream. Really proud of you :) I'm glad I got to see you all tonight.
p.s. Ben and I are going to ambush you at your apartment, crash there, and then watch the Newcastle Knights play their home games.

'Untitled speech' by Emily Lan Anh Nguyen


I lied to you. Remember how I told you I didn't care about what you told me? The stuff between you and other girls? Well, I lied. I do care. Not because you rule my mind, body, heart and soul, but because it is a constant indication and reminder that I would and will, never be enough for you. You keep telling me that you feel bad about the person you're becoming - about the choices you make and the reasons you make them. I know the person you used to be. There's no point apologising to me, and not doing anything. It's not about what you say, it's about what you do.
