Order me a Singapore Fling
The past 2 weeks at home has been a blast and its a poor feeling to be leaving so soon. Well Singapore's constant development simply meant that nothing was familiar to me anymore and its quite a shame to not have many things that you can feel familiar with. I guess its the same 'ol Singapore...nothing but consistent change...

People have asked what I had missed in Singapore and the first thing that would immediately come out of my mouth would be my friends... and there were 2 other things which I missed dearly, the angsana trees and the yellow/black Mynah birds.. Things which we take for granted

Happily Housed in Hanoi
Coming back to Vietnam however has been wonderful, its hard to imagine that it was Vietnam who made me appreciate Singapore so much more, but it's also my renewed love of Singapore that has given me a even greater love for Vietnam. Strange eh? Well I've been trying to get back into the swing of things however its been slow, and by the end of the week I had realised that greater trials are to come in relation to work... What can I say? I can only be thankful that I'm loving Vietnam more then ever...

ahh here's something thats been a minor problem...the neighbours living behind us has recently gotten themselves a puppy, an irritating, yelping puppy...mmmmn wonderful... It'll fit perfectly into the oven without much hassle, there'll be no need to carve it up too much... I l only need to empty it's chest cavity and gut it before i stuff it with breadcrumbs, cheese and onion stuffing....mmmmmmm.....yum....

Oh and my students were utterly delighted to have me back, and they amazed me with the way they were able to think creatively and work together as a group...not something that theyre good at but things are changing... Even Tuan (who at the beginning doesnt even speak a word of english) is now reading and speaking english and is even initiated to respond and give me answers... I am so encouraged...Well these are my blessings that keep me going especially when things get sticky and trying...

Lapping up my laptop
Yeah its pretty wonderful to have a laptop, its such a conivience...Im now at once of my fav hangouts, its a cafe located besides a lake thats near my place and its called Tien Dang cafe...beautiful ambience, free wireless internet, its a haven from the relentless traffic of hanoi with my hot lemon and warm tuna salad..sigh...so nice...
