Saigon oi!

I received a Christmas card from my best friend - Eunice today - Christmas eve!
I have had such a stressful time since I came back to Saigon last Tuesday because I'm studying up for my scholarship exam. I'm going to try and ace that Geography scholarship. I really need to. So, I'm gonna try my very best to get it. I'm also taking one for Art but I have less to worry about that than this.

Anyway, lately I haven't had time to blog partly because my laptop charger broke and I constantly have to shed time to do hw first before using it for any other purposes. Here is a review of my week!

Last week, I was going to work with my mum everyday to observe her work (well she let me come and help with the shop she is opening) I was actually learning quite a bit just listening, helping write email in english etc. So I went to Vincom with mum for work and I met Nicole! Omg It was the best thing that has happened to me all week. I had lost a lot of numbers so I couldn't really contact anyone and I thought most of friends would have left by now either temporary or really really left. Meeting with Nicole gave me an uninvited little farewell party that they all made up for Ali. I finally convinced Joshy to come and see me too and that made my day!

We had fun scaring Ali and had 2 sessions of bumper car, and then i gained myself another invitation to Ali's bday party :D Met Vy there. She seemed as awkward as I was which makes me quite comfortable actually xDDD hahaha I did managed to make new friends since most of my friends are now gone to some other places already. We went out later that night. I had quite a blast! :D

This week, I was determined to meet Harith and go to Ala Mezon because there is a live jazz performance thing i found on the internet. So we met in Fahasa to buy drawing pencils before heading off. I didn't know this was my opportunity to make friend with Lam Anh (she lives near my house too :D) lol we then invited Jimmy. Yup got on a taxi, gave the address, driver dropped us off at a random place behind Ben Thanh's market and told us to walk there bc it's only a few minutes away and he can't get in. We got off but realised that he must have mistaken it for another str so we got on another taxi and went back to Le Loi str to find a mass of ppl killing each other to take Christmas pictures. We had to get off the taxi and follow the driver instruction to walk to Ala Mezon.

What a crazy night right? I got scared to death by this fake awesome superman. Why on earth would anyone do that? leave a superman at a table, on a floor, by himself!?!
The music after all was quite enjoyable. I had a great time with Harith, Jimmy and Lam Anh.

Despite the quiet and loneliness of having almost all of my friends all over the world somewhere, I am having a nice time back home in Saigon.

Merry Christmas everybody!
