God has heard

Alo Alo! :)

This week has been great. Work has been a breeze plus some nice clouds and wind.

Since our Supervisor didn't have ANYTHING for us to do at all, we (nat plus me) decided to just go and station ourselves at some places to learn the operations/kill time.

SO, i figured the office stuff would be boring, i moved myself outside, to the security desk where customers collect their goods there and inspection is done. I LOVE IT THERE! okay, other than the smoking which gave me a few asthmatic problems, everything is good. I love it. The people there are a crazy bunch. The Security guards, store assistants, and Customers, and Drivers, and Porters. Love love love them all.

It saddens me to know that only when we're leaving Vietnam, then we start to really know every single Porter. Because i love them all (especially... HEH HEH HEH.). I feel like now, those whom we aren't that close to initially are slowly opening up. And they joke and play with us and ask us to eat with them at meals.. they let us try their food. They make me drink their tea with them, and taught me to shout "Jiam Feng Jiam!" when i drink tea. They listen to my MP3, they take my lonely planet and attempt to learn English. They are so.... them. <3

Today Nat and i went shopping, Clothes - yes, but the highlight of the day was... STATIONERY. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HAPPY WE WERE WHEN MOST OF THE PENS COST ABOUT 40 cents. MY GOODNESS. WE WERE ON A FRENZY. At one point NAt was carrying so many pens in one hand, she couldn't hold another. And some man gave her a basket to put her pens. but the pens look quite... obiang. BUT WHO CARES. THEY WRITE WELL AND THEY ARE CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. :D

After we FINALLY walked out of the bookshop, we were all groggy and so tired because of the Adrenaline rush we had buying pens.

Anyhow. Next friday's my 19th. and somehow. All the Porters seem to know, Plus the Security Guards. and they keep reminding me about it. Funny. They would say, "Genevieve, Moey Sao, Hey-pee-Birt-Day!" Of course, Genevieve sounds more like.. "Cheh lee fee" :D Totally love it. And someone called me one day and said in Vietnamese that he'll be going to the Warehouse on the 16th to celebrate my birthday! AH!! i'd better not get my hopes up. My aoratic pump has no room for disappointment.

Okay. I miss Singaporeans tons. Okay! Tam Biet! :D
