2009 Vietnam trip: Class reunion ... but it is not my class

Yeah, it is a pretty picture but it is NOT MINE !!!

:D




It was Sunday morning after a great Saturday, I was laying on the floor to watch TV and waiting for having lunch with my family.

My younger brother was on his computer and in a sudden he turned around and asked me "Are you going to the class re-union ?"
"What the heck are you talking about !" I replied.
He continued "You promised your teacher friend that you would go with her ... and it is today at 12:00PM".
"Damn, i forgot about that, i be damned".

So i grabbed my phone and tried to call "my teacher". She did not answer the phone. Who would after i stood her up twice. I sent her 2 messages to ask her if she would call me back because i even forgot the location too.

She called me back after 30 minutes, she told me that i would not need to come. She was angry and really sad. I apologized to her then told her that i would be there in 45 minutes.

I took off in 3 minutes after telling my parents that i could not have lunch with them that they. They were not that happy but i did not have time for that. I turned on my "rice based GPS" in my mind, switched it to "shortest path mode" and cranked the gas of my bike. In the next 10 minutes, i got stuck in a traffic jam. I had plenty of experience with this kind of situations so i quickly turned around and picked another route. Damn, it would cost me an extra 20 minutes. So i called my teacher again and told her that i would be a little extra late.

I got to "Binh Quoi" then called my teacher, she went out gave me the ticket to get in. I did not recognize my teacher was a bit not happy. I was acting cool (lucky me). She took me to the table and introduced me to a bunch of her friends. I knew several of them and many others looked familiar. It might be i hung out at her school so much when i was in college so i met all of them before.

I really enjoyed the food and talking to new friends. I could feel my teacher's voice was a bit different but i was thinking she did that because of her friends. She was still very mad.

We finished eating and started some group games. I got a ticket that required me to bite an opposite sex partner. Hahahahahaha, i loved this kind of game. So i turned to my teacher and armed for her ear. Wow yummy. No, i would not bite it, but just wanted to scare her a bit.

I got a phone call from another friend of mine, she was asking me if i could stop by her place because they had some business ideas that i could join and work with them. I asked my teacher to come with me, and she agreed to come. We took off after the whole group took several pictures (Hey, i am still waiting on seeing those pictures ...). After 5 minutes driving on the road, i realized that my teacher was tired, so i told her to go home, i would race to my friend's place myself. I told my teacher to drive home careful after i told her that she looked lovely. Yes, i started to feel more attracted to her since the moment that i armed for her ear. She did look very lovely.

Well, i was a bit late and every people left. I took off after a few minutes chatting with my friend.

I started to think more about my teacher. I think i like her more now. Damn, was it my destiny ?
