What is MizPee?

It's a site that helps you find nearby restrooms. Weirdest idea for a site that I have heard of. I can see it being useful in countries like Vietnam and nothing more. Will probably fail sometime soon. The site is being covered by Techcrunch and is located here.

New Genesant Office

Moving date is sometime in July.

Office and Gym in the same building? It doesn't get any better than this! :)

Things that Make Me Happy and Grateful

BT got accepted into VCU School of Pharmacy, and she's starting this coming August. All of us Khucs are happy for her, especially my parents. You should have seen their big happy smiles when they heard the good news. It's priceless! Best of luck in Pharmacy School. You deserve it!


HA has just finished her first year in Podiatry School at Temple and is now doing research at school. I'm just really happy and grateful that we're still together. It's almost three years! Can you spot her in this picture? ;)


and least but not last, my daily lunches. Thanks, Mom! :)

China Population



Some notes I took away from this:

  • The rest of the world needs to catch up to India.

  • How can 40% of China population fit in its cities?

Chu Nom

Found this interesting photo randomly at khongcoai.com. It's Chu Nom (traditional Vietnamese text). My favorite word is Nhan or Abstain (literally translated). What's yours?

How To Be a Good Boss

According to wikihow.com:


  1. Realize that management succeeds via the efforts of the workers

  2. Delegate responsibility and then trust your people

  3. Know your employees to know your strength

  4. Clone yourself - many times

  5. Empower your staff to make critical decisions, and don't second-guess them

  6. Create a clear chain of command

  7. Help them learn to work out issues without your intervention

  8. Deal with any problems quickly and directly

  9. Tell your staff how much you appreciate them - in front of customers if possible

  10. Show your appreciation by doing things for them

  11. Share your goals with your employees



So it's not easy to be a good boss, but don't we all want to become one someday? :)

Last Taping of The Price Is Right Today

I love The Price Is Right, and I used to watch it back in high school and college whenever I was free. Mr. Bob Parker is a great man. Thanks for the memories.
