110607 - 120607 Day 9 and 10
This week's lecture will be dealing with doing business in Vietnam and some of their business laws, which really pretty reminds me of AB103 as there are many similarities. We were made to discuss in groups and present some questions to the class for the first time.
In the afternoons, we went to Bo De Pagoda for some social work. It’s actually a monastery which takes in some orphans and there are only nuns around. The condition the kids live in are really dilapidated. We can see flies in their room, bad kitchen condition, and I think at least 5 or 6 kids have to squeeze a room. But yet they are living so simply. Simple kampong games we played with them like skipping rope, badminton, japteh, soccer can just make them so happy. And they are damn hyper too. Some people taught them songs, how to read ABC, and the girls can really carry babies damn well. They are all so ready to be mothers. Lol. I told them I got no affinity with babies. And true enough, when Jasmine passed the baby to me, the baby wanted to get out of my arms within like 10 seconds. Resigned to it manz. But anw, hope the kids do enjoy the happy moments these 2 days of our short visit. We cant do much seriously, but even if it's a few moments of happiness, they shd be contented.

And our Prof J.Lo actually met us there today, so unexpected to see him there and my group asked him some stuff regarding out upcoming project. Gonna be a lot of work into this project but I think it should be very fun doing it. There are 4 people in my group, Phung, a Vietnamese from CS, Zi Liang from CS and Bao Chern from ACC also. And last night, I went Zi Liang's room and we had some really fun game of Bridge. Damn hilarious and fun playing cards before we got down to some discussions on our project theme.We had our dinner at the monastery and suddenly it got super stormy and damn windy. I haven experienced such weather for so long. The rainwater kept splashing into our dining area while we were eating and we had to shift to a safer place. A stormy and wet vegetarian dinner indeed. Tmr to friday we are going to this place called Friendship Village to do social work. Hope it will be fun and meaningful. It’s still pouring now while Im in my room. Gonna be a nice night to sleep in again :)
