First and foremost my friend Steve was moaning about not being mentioned last time. So here you go Steven. Welcome to the World of Blog Fame. Ha ha.
I've just been out with my friend, Kelly, and found the most amazing little shop. Basically it sells old Vietnamese paper stuffs. Photos, diaries, albums, books, postcards letters, that all at one time belonged to someone Vietnamese. There are some really funky old pictures that are definitely going to be sent to you people as Christmas cards!
Had a good day off today! Ate blue cheese, drink tea on the roof top bar of the Majestic hotel and then booked my birthday meal on a Saigon boat restaurant. So I shall update you with the drunk happenings on this weekend in my next blog. I'm sure it will be messy and involve a mental breakdown as I'm turning 26 which is now officially nearer to 30 than 25. Jesus.
Anyway what's been gwaning? I'm being stalked by the woman that set me up with the TV job. I have to do another scene but I keep telling her I need notice! She's pretty creepy and just turns up at my house expecting me to be ready to go. Very weird. She even rang me at work the other day and was like "we go movie now". I was like "no I'm at work." She said she could go and talk to the principal of the school and get me out of work. Err no you crazy women. Anyway I think she's got the idea now that I need a organisation. Idiot.
So I left you last time telling you I was about to embark on a journey to Mui Ne. What a lovely place it is! We chilled on the beach, hired motorbikes...yes MATT can drive a motorbike, visited the Fairy Stream, which by the way has no frickin fairies! Was extremely upset. It did however have devil children who when they asked for money Matt offered them 8,000 Dong - about 25p - refused because it was too little. Then they hassled Matt all the way to the end with Matt constantly saying "no, piss off" until finally they said "OK 8,000 Dong is OK"!!!!! Like it was a deal! I tell you, the children are evil here!
We also went Sand Duning (there's a video on my Facebook page if you haven't seen it) which is massively FUN. Sledging on sand seriously what could be more fun than this? I did recommend they needed a lift though because walking back to the top was a bitch!
On our last two days it rained intensely which caused there to be a river where the road was meant to be. Was pretty funny watching people on motorbikes trying to get through then falling over. One girl went under and I was worried for a second, but it was all OK 4 Australians came to her rescue. I decided then to pretty much swim across the road because there was a bar serving buy one get one free on cocktails. No river was gonna stop me getting to that.
There's also one amazing bar there called Pogo. It was chilled, had graffiti over the walls, hammocks, cheap drinks and best of all the sea crashed against the bar and sprayed inside.
So after our holiday came Halloween. Ahhhh my second favourite time of year, after Christmas of course! Me, Matt, Sophie and two other girls Kelly and Rachel got costumes tailored, OH YES. Four nurses, one doctor. Matt loved it. Although the difference between the English and the rest of the world at Halloween is clear to me now. Halloween for the rest of the world is a time to look hot. Halloween for the English is a time to put as much fake blood on yourself as possible! It's just in the morning it's quite hideous when you wake up and your face is red and actually stays red until you purchase some white spirit and shower in that.
Halloween at work was pretty funny. I think I scared my 5 year olds slightly with my syringe. Also all children could attend a haunted house on floor 5. It was basically a massive classroom decked out like a house. ILA went all out, smoke machine and all! When I was in there though the scary music suddenly stopped and randomly i hear "All around me there's familiar faces...". Yes they were playing Gary Jules (I changed this from REM because Mr Luke Sando Sanderson has just informed me I was wrong. Did you like that mention Sando?) in a haunted house. I was a bit confused as I started to think that maybe the Vietnamese think Gary Jules is terrifying? The kids were shit scared though. At least none of my kids chucked up like Zach's. Ha ha!
I have one child that is extremely weird. I have mentioned her before. You know - fringe plait girl. So the other day I come back from my break and one of the other teachers was looking a bit lost. I asked what was wrong. She said "some one has taken my post its of the wall". She had set up a game with the kids and some little bastard had sabotaged it. I was like ahhh boooo then walked into my classroom. I started my lesson and my TA shouted "Linh!". I realised then my this point Linh, fringe plait girl, was turned around looking out the window. I walk over and pull back the curtain and you guessed it...all the fucking post its were stuck on the window. Little shit. Anyway I gave them back and the teacher was like "I don't no how she got them, because they were up high." So not only had she just stolen them, she'd got a chair out of a classroom to get up there!!. Evil.
Another funny thing happened in class the other day. I told my Juniors (age 8 - 11) to write now body parts - one had to begin with S. So I was thinking shoulders...oh no. An 8 year old wrote SCROTUM on the floor. I started pissing myself laughing. My TA asked what it was and I kind of explained. I thought, it's OK because he won't know what it is. Oh how I was wrong. He shouted "Teacher, scrotum!" and pointed to his willy area! OH MY GOD WHY DOES HE KNOW THAT!
At least he didn't get it out and show me like some other kid did in this guys class.
I thought that would be a lovely note to finish on! :D
Goodbye my Sunflowers.
