Good evening Saigon!



My daughter turned 2 today. What a special day for this special little girl of mine..and how miserable I am to be thousands of miles away from her on this special day. sigh..I hope she doesn't hate me for being away so long this time. And more so coz I'm not with her to celebrate her birthday. I do hope she understands and forgives me for it. And I do hope to be lucky enough to be able to spend future birthdays with her. Even when she's 30 and I'm errr..a 100? :P

Anyway, I'm in this lovely city of Saigon..taking in the sights and sounds of the streets from my overly big hotel room at Sheraton. I can get lost in a room this big! I'm here for 3 days, on a survey at one of the plants down in Vung Tao. I hope i spelt that right hehe. I can't wait to get work done and over with so we can get on to the fun part -- SHOPPING! From the hotel, I can see rows upon rows of awesome shops to be explored, bargains to be made! so exciting! I just hope the guys I came with don't mind chaperoning me while I work the shops.. I'm not berani enough to go on my own. But, worse comes to worst, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do rite!


Ok, gotta hop in the shower now. Meeting the boys for dinner in half hour. I'm kinda looking forward to trying the famous Vietnamese beef noodle or pho while I'm here. Not sure if there are halal ones though. Anyway, maybe I shouldn't be too adventurous in picking my dinner tonite as we have an early morning call tomorrow for the plant meeting..the cars' coming to fetch us bright and early at 6am! yikes!
