"Romeo & Juliet" during Math class

Was rushing from Biz library to Science for my GEK1517 Math class. Was late for 20 minutes due to heavy traffic. Entered the class and found a very sweet melody from "Romeo & Juliet". Teacher was playing "What is a youth" on YouTube. Everyone was listening quietly and enjoyed the song. So did I.

 
Need to mention that the same theme melody for "Romeo & Juliet" has another title and lyric, "A time for us"

 

Today we were supposed to review for the midterm so teacher reduced workload and entertained us by playing a few pieces of movies and songs from just about Romeo & Juliet. The class was not as boring as it had been, and I was quite relaxing. Later finished the Math class, and I left the class, singing on the way to dance practice.

Today was quite a productive day. Still got a belated birthday gift today. Thanks, Celine.

Autumn

It was so cold this early morning and a breeze woke me up when the Sun was still under the sea. It was just like an early autumn morning in Hanoi: Very quiet, cool breezes travel into every single house through all possible ways. However, leaves don't change their dress into yellow or red-brown outfit like in Hanoi or Northern Vietnam. Singapore leaves remain stubbornly green and no gentle breeze can take them out from their homes for a date and traveling around like in Hanoi. Hanoi autumn is charming. Great delicacies are served during the season too. Missing "cốm". Want some "ốc nóng" and "chè Huế", too.

I had some green tea, listening to Vivaldi "The Four Seasons" and viewing works devoted to autumn:

"Days of Autumn" by  Nguyen Van Duc

"Golden Autumn" by Levitan one of the most famous (depicting Russian autumn)
