About me - Introduction

My name is My Linh Tran, I live in Hamburg, Germany and I was born 1995. Years ago I had a blog (www.mlt-chess.blogspot.com) about my chess adventures. But after two years I stopped. Now I have much more time again and I would like to introduce you to my world - not only to my chess world but also to all the other stuffs I do (e.g. Poetry Slam) - That's why I chose the title "My Linh Adventures". (Some of my friends only call me Linh, one of my favorite nicknames is lingling)

German Post

I had an inspiration, but its German. Sorry, guys!



Die Augen klein und über dem Kopf ein Heiligenschein. Es tropft tränenreich und die Knie sind weich. Die Hände gebunden, es wird nichts umwunden und niemand ist wirklich verschwunden. Und trotzdem bin ich visual, physikalisch also völlig kahl. Der Körper eine Existenz, mein Geist absolut begrenzt.

Slam the Pony // Cancelled

I had to cancel my performance because I'm sick with a cold. So I thought, it's better to take a break. Probably my next performance is on 6th February 2015 at the "Digger Slam" - you hear from me soon.

Spontaneous idea

You’re my inspiration,
my door to the world,
you’re my book of love,
my „I never want this to end“.

But all these words cannot describe how I feel tonight. My mouth is going up and going down, thousand letters left my toungue. The sound of my voice, lovely and calm. ´Cause my thoughts about you, they make me feel so fine.

Back in down town!

At the moment I am at the house of my parents. Sometimes I have to visit them, I'm a good girl... Or sth like that. Haha! I also have to teach my girl group. Today 5 hours and tomorrow 5 hours. The chess lessons were going very well. My pupils are telling me that they really learn something in my lessons!!!! They make me feel like a good teacher again. That's awesome! :-)

Oh, dear pupils...

Yesterday I had a performance at the Culture House 73. It was an under 20 Poetry Slam. I wrote a new text a few weeks ago and I thought... mh maybe, why not doing this on this very cool event "under 20 Poetry Slam" - So, now I know why I shouldn't. My new text is about the hopes and the meaning of life. About the fears to live... It can diverge, it's up to the people, how they interpret it. Unfortunately, yesterday two classes (9th or 10th grade) fill the room... and four of them were chosen as a judge.
I have to say that I didn't perform this text exactly like I wanted, but it was my first performance I got the feeling that the audience was inattentive. They were comparatively to Poetry Slams without classes in a state of agitation. This made me more nervous and I think they didn't understand my text. Not the bad points, but the atmosphere and the feeling they are not interested sadden me. Especially, the text really says what I feel...
Well, it was a bad day and now it is fortunately over. I will do this text with an audience without classes again and I am sure, they will appreciate it.

... Ps. I hate pupils even more now! hahaha :-D
