  • Mood: Dazed
  • Listening to: Marcus Intalex Soul:ution Radio 08/02/08
  • Watching: D.Gray-Man 76!! Akuma no tameni!
  • Eating: PHO!!!!!
  • Drinking: too much rice wine... :/
This is for those of you wondering what I've been up to for the past month... it's kinda disjointed, but hey, shouldnt all the best things in life be disjointed as well as free? This way, you can have a fulfilling life without chasing those blighters down! :confused: ^^;

DAY 1: Step out of the airport terminal to a rockstar's welcome; realize that foreigners don't come here often to work... :giggle:

DAY 2: realize that persistent tropical haze in ho chi minh city prevents all flights out... situation looks dire

DAY 3: Finally recover from strange time difference, eat so much food I don't eat at all the next day

DAY 4: don't eat at all but drink. A lot.

DAY 5: eat so much food I don't eat at all the next day

DAY 6: well, you get the picture by now...! :D

DAY 7: get bicycle, get laughed at by passers-by on motorbikes

DAY 18: get motorbike, get laughed at by passers-by on bicycles

DAY 8: get introduced to Pho, most addictive noodle soup ever created :drool:

DAY 9: find out company is buying its first 'legal' software... after 15 years

DAY 10: learn first chinese word!

DAY 11: Owners of Pho shop now know exactly who I am & who I work for... learn that the waiter's sister fancies me! :paranoid:

DAY 12: realize that all coffee in vietnam is made with condensed milk; panic for first time

DAY 13: Go to spanish architects' conference, speak spanish in vietnam... go figure!

DAY 14: have first stomach ache problems, cant figure out why but overdose on pills anyway

DAY 15: mystery forces move my fridge & unplug my toothbrush

DAY 16: fridge moves again, hire local shaman to exorcise it

DAY 17: become an instant millionaire at an ATM, realize it's only about $60 AU! :w00t:

DAY 19: person nearby finally realizes I've been sucking the speed from their wireless network for the past 2 weeks... busted!!

DAY 20: learn first vietnamese word!

DAY 23: get sunburnt badly at vung tau, swim in pristine yet highly polluted waters :lmao:

DAY 24: start of 4-star hotel schematic development at work... 4 days to prepare!! :fear:

DAY 25: owners at highlands coffee now know me as a regular too, start making house calls

DAY 26: challenge colleagues to a rice wine drinking contest and win... but lose motor function 30 minutes later!

DAY 28: recover from rice wine, though strangely remember every sobering detail (and the phone number of some guy named Binh for some reason)

DAY 29: after giving a 45-minute presentation to hotel clients, they then demand a 1000-seat restaurant as well... :faint:

DAY 30: stomach problems die down... maybe the alcohol killed it! :dance:

Cháo from Vietnam!

well congrats! I think getting real life experience in the industry is important...thats what im thinking of doing before I do my masters. But its all fate I think.

So who are some of your favourite architects?
~a1106047:icona1106047: Feb 6, 2008, 9:47:14 PM
kinda both... as much as I love adelaide, there aren't many job opportunities here... hence the moving part :D

Sex is like math: Add the bed, subtract the clothes, divide the legs, and pray to god you don't multiply. :giggle:

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly :hug:
~Catherine-Supernova:iconCatherine-Supernova: Jan 4, 2008, 7:58:45 AM
i just want to say that your work is most impressive and that i admire it. i use almost all the same programs you do, but obviously i still a lot of learning to do to improve ;)
