Today's flattering yet inherently creepy incident: while I was standing around the BP compound gate waiting for da eun and khanh, the gate guard said to me," You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met." (in typical local viet twang)
Since I wasn't actually paying much attention to him and his prior attempts at engaging me in conversation anyway (I was fiddling intently with my phone!), I was just like "Hrrmm" ahah.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

And now you see what I mean when I insist I attract the strangest folk.

Geez I really can't wait till I leave vietnam for a developed country for uni!

And this one's for when I feel down/lonely/self-loathing: my mommy's interior designer friend thinks I'm going to break alot of hearts ahahahaha yayyyyyy!

In other news, there's still something wrong with my comp/connection. Except now, in addition to not being able to access hotmail/windows live, I cannot get into my facebook apps and attach files to my bismail!!!! :((((
I never thought facebook apps were such a hook! Nowadays I can't even be bothered logging onto mine 'cause there really isn't that much to do now that I can't deal dope on the streets or burn people.

DUDE. There was a parent teaching conference some time last week (jueves was it?) and both ms bee and ms anna told my mum I was succinct! Again! Except this year, they're insisting it's a bad thing, that I very often don't write enough to get full marks.
It was funny how they were both trying to be all tactful though. Both of them said roughly around the same opening statement:" Chia Lynn... has the ability to take the meaning of about a paragraph of text and... channel it into three words." And my mother, being my mother, was just like (to ms anna only)," You mean, she's terse. She doesn't write enough because she's lazy! She doesn't want to write more than she has to!" And ms anna was nodding enthusiastically at my mother's interjection :(
I can't help it if I don't want to expend more words/force than necessary! That's just a waste of effort loh. I'm totally trying to write more though. For the catalase bio practical I got 6/6 for the conclusion and evaluation part!!! :))))
Ms rena was really nice about espanol to my mum though. She was extolling my enthusiasm at work and responsiveness during lessons (though half the time I end up bemoaning the fact that she doesn't pick me in class for questionanswering/reading to hanh). I was particularly impressed and somewhat grateful that she'd noticed and praised me on the looking up and defining of words/tenses we haven't covered in class and using them in my diario entries :)
And I'm super happy that I am for once doing well at a language that isn't english. I just feel so... accomplished! My failure at chinese be damned! I feel, for the first (or second) time, like I'm not lingually challenged or anything.
