Hello Tin,
Eventhough I had the chance to exchange with you all via the email when I was
still on the forum, seeing you all in such a gathering was really so
overwhelming. I hesitated, but my voice did vibrate with emotions when I first
feel comfortable to tutoyer again! Seeing you, I can't help but thinking about
Hung Lun and the class of 5eme. I think that was just because of the sudden
change in Hung Lun from a rather quiet, top of the class guy, to one that
became actively involved in a band and your appearance. You guys always wore
the same outfits. If my memory serves me right, both of you did some kind of a
gig in class that year(5eme) either during the rapprochement of the New Year or
end of the school year.
So much memories, I have never felt so comfortable in my own skin during the
events. Every now and then I also thought about those classmates who did not
make it through the war, those who are not fortunate enough to grow old with
us. Every so often, I did think about them. As far as you and Ngo Luong Chinh
concerned, we were all so glad that you guys have pulled through. At this age,
I learn to not missing things that I don't have but appreciate what little that
we have. The ability to see each other in such an environment, atmostphere and
settings, we are truely blessed!
I savore every moment that I had with you guys like every note and every word
that I sing in my songs.
Stay in touch!

Salut mon Vieux Pote Thien,
L'émotion est toujours très forte quand nous assistons pour la première fois
à ce meeting promotionnel "Retrouvailles JJR MC" .....
Les cheveux grisatres voire blanchis des anciens copains nous ont tous
émus....C'est normal, car nous sommes sur le bridge "Présent" et les
presque-quarante ans d'éloignement reviennent très forts et nous ont
fortement "secoués"....Oui, nous n'avons pas oublié, et nous avons
fraternellemnt "Link with our Past"......
Des émotions naturelles nous ont tous conquis "intérieument"....Oui nous
sommes heureux sans se rendre compte....Et c'est qu'après la séparation que
ces "events" reviennent nous "Secouer" avec Force et Vigueur....
Il te faudra un peu de temps pour "Les Intégrer" harmonieusement dans ton
spirit...Et "Go on to the Future"....
2 ans.....C'est long mais ce n'est pas loin non plus....et nos quarante ans
d'éloignement ?....mais il y a aussi des mini retrouvailles de temps en
temps....Why not in Paris!!!!!!!!
Mon coeur a vibré quand je t'ai revu....Toujours vif malgré "Less hair" et
"Bigger size" ....Mais Oui, tu n'as pas changé "intérieurement"....
Tiens bon, laisse "Digérer" naturellement" ce choc émotionnel de relier à
tonpassé, "Revenir" doucement à ton Présent, et "Continuer" peacefully ton
chemin d'avenir....
A bientôt
Tin

beso long! Do you know what two years would to our bunch? I just close my
eyes and not wanting to think about it! In two years, What would the world
become (without Bush)!? Our group pictures would feature more gray hair! My
grand-daughter would be close to 4! I hope that I would still have the heart
to sing and dance and capable to love. Two years is plenty of time for you
toget a GPS the next time you come down to the South here, the State for
lovers! I have been wondered how you took Phap into the Shenandoah valley
andstill found your way back out to get back home???!!!
