I had a dream today. I cna't really remember much of the contents, but charlotte was in it, wearing a black dress. She kept popping up wherever I was and pointing a gun at me hahahaha. Like at one point she was saying, "I'm going to shoot you in 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
I went to khanhche's birthday lunch today instead of arief's house visiting thing! :( He's really horrible at planning in the end only ruth, charlotte, katrina, christian and I came hahahah.
Then we went to gloria jean's and sat around. Charlotte was talking about how she used to severely mistreat her dog when she was a kid, locking it in a room without food, water or light for days on end, and kicking it and stuff. And katrina got soooooo affected haha! She couldn't look at charlotte or make a sound and she was tearing up. Charlotte also told us about how she used to be a horrible looking kid. She had this gash at the side of her forehead, she didn't have four of her upper front teeth, her fringe was uneven, her hair was really awkward at the sides, and because she used to be even darker than she is now, her headscar was this like white blotch. One time her mother made her wear a blue dress and apparently she looked like a boy in a dress HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
I honestly honestly was in absolute hysterics. Katrina insists I thrive on (other peoples') misery and misfortune hahahaha
And thinking about it, I kind of have to agree.

She and I were discussing how we generally feel better about ourselves in hcm than in singapore online afterwards.
Like I used to HATE my tush since it's all curvy and people in singapore do not appreciate fine ass! And now I'm just like, HUR HUR. Everyone in singapore's just like STICKTHIN and it was mucho disheartening! And besides, most of the white kids here are naturally bigger than me.
And I feel smarter here since most of the kids in school are just there cos they're rich (in the case of the local viets anyway).
And I feel richer even though I was actually richer in relation to most my peers in singapore, since here I generally cab everywhere and I eat in restaurants all the time and I do things like go to muine during a school holiday since my friends can also afford to do so.
And I'm given more freedom here. I stay out alot later cos I can always just grab a cab when I need one, whereas in singapore the latest I'd get back would generally be 11 since that's when public transport cease operations and cabs are SO OVERPRICED in singapore that only international/rich kids without available drivers use them.
And how I don't have to live in some claustraphobic high-rise flat.
And how I'm more popular in school here (though I WAS pretty well-known in tanglin anyway since I was the councillor who did the national pledge on fridays and wasn't a lian). Like I mentioned before, everyone knows my name in bis!
And I'm prettier! Though maybe that's just cos I'm growing and thus have shed most of my loserish habits and bad hair.
And I seem to have grown here alot faster. Like I never used to do the things I do now. And I wear nicer things and have cooler friends. Okay not cooler, but different from the singapore variety.
Even though I look better than most people in singapore while the eurasian/western population here generally look better than I do :( And the church I go to is kinda competely in vietnamese; I just go to show sisterly support.

So I don't think I regret moving to saigon at all :)
