The year of the snake!

Vietnamese new year was nice! At first I was very nervous, but having Mary and Hanna there made me a bit calmer because then I could talk to them and also my "brothers" were there.
The celebration was fun! I really liked the dragons performing. I forgot to take pictures of them... But I really like dragons!! hehehe! And last year was the year of the dragon, and I suppose they were "chasing away the dragon for the new coming year" or something. I don't know, cause I don't speak Vietnamese.... But it was pretty and fun! They also had competitions, like singing and modeling. And different  shows from Vietnam, singing, dancing and such. And the food!!! I have no idea what I was eating!!! Haha! But it tasted good! :)
A slightly edited photo of me at the celebrations.
The reason I was nervous about going there is that in Vietnamese (Asian?) cultures you don't tell your parents about having a girlfriend basically until the day you are getting married or having children or wen it's getting really serious. And Asians talk... Allot! And I wanted to try not to appear as his girlfriend (even thou Mary told someone... But I think she was a friend of them all...) and I thought he was joking when he said his sister and mother was there but he DIDN'T!! Being told about to the parents is a big deal! So yeah, I was nervous... I was there as a "friend".. :) (My own choice!!)

Then we went to k-pop party. It sucked... The DJ sucked, the bar sucked, the place sucked (Looked like a prison, an old movie theater) and my head hurt and I was really tired and then my feet hurt because my shoes was killing me... I danced to the stupidly mixed music like a crazed baboon, couldn't take it serious.. Haha! The most fun I had at that party. Baboon.... And of course being with my lovely darling twin sister Liss!!! But I feel bad for making her day a bit bad, since I wasn't feeling that well... SORRY SIS!!!! <3
Partying after a week of sickness isn't the best idea I have ever had.... But at least I was sober!

Now I'm back home and I have hugged Daughter so much she is now officially sick of her mother! And now it's time for sleep. First day at "work" and kindergarten in a week tomorrow.

Pai pai!! // Teri <3

Chúc mừng năm mới!

Happy new Lunar year!!! *Confetti and flags* ^_^

I wanted to celebrate new year and our 6 months anniversary with Panda yesterday (Saturday). Wanted to go shopping (Just to do something together) and then having dinner at a restaurant. But it all went bad.. He was in a bad mood because of family affairs and it got me in a bad mood and the whole day was in a bad mood... Then he said we should make dinner at home instead and we did, but ended up arguing instead of having a nice meal... We had a quick talk (After me having a temper fit!) and I think both of us got some things to think about.
I spent the night thinking and well... I still don't know what to do....

And I bought my self a new phone! I needed one and I wanted one. I bought an Xperia tipo. It was cheap and it's quite good. Now I can text ALL my friends and they can text me for free, thanks to some app I couldn't have on my old phone. It's fun with all the apps! I downloaded an app where you can learn the basics of different languages, like Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and German is the ones I downloaded! I haven't learned a bit yet.. Haha! I have such bad memory!

Oh and by the way... Panda and I made up of course! I'm amazed how he can still love me after all my temper fits! But I think (And hope) he get why I'm a bit upset... It's always on my mind, all the day every second. I know it's very selfish of me not wanting him to go... But I can't move with him even if I would love to move to Germany too! Go with him... I would love to...
Ja, ich mag Deutschland. Es ist, wo meine Familie Ursprünge sind. Ich würde gerne dort leben für eine Weile.
And I like speaking German even thou they would totally laugh at my pronunciation! xD I'm still learning!!!

This Saturday we are going to Viet new years party and k-pop as I have told before. And SHIT I'm nervous!! But happy to know at least one Swedish girl will be there too! haha! I won't be totally alone! I'm afraid people won't like me... Will treat me weird or think I'm bad for Panda in some way... I feel pressured to look good, act good and talk well. And I don't speak Vietnamese (Yet!? haha!). One week and I'm already preparing and planning. This feels like something big for me. Well not as big as meeting his parents. If that day comes... Wow, I will faint a few times a day before that! haha!

Now I will go play with my phonie!! Learning some basic Viet! haha! Yeah right.... I'll try at least.. ;)

Pai pai!! // Teri

Xin chao!

God damn that Candy Crush Saga game on Facebook! Addictive game....

I'm such a bad girlfriend... (But I think many would do the same thing!) Not supportive at all... Just crying and screaming, "Don't leave me! I'll do anything!" But if he want to go.... He will go... And I have to let him go... But until that, I'll try to be a better girlfriend!

Apparently we are going to celebrate Vietnamese/Chinese new year the 16th of February, going to a private party full of Vietnamese people. A bit scary actually... But he almost begged me, so I have to go! haha! I have a feeling I will feel very lonely, even if there is SOME people I know there. Well he promised not to leave me alone for very long moments. ;)
And then there will be k-pop all night long. K-pop club (nonstop) in Stockholm, right after the Viet new years party!
"Dress nicely" he said... -___-' What's nice in Vietnam? haha! I have to go shopping.... And get my nails done!!! :O And dye my hair!! Wow the pressure.....

I have such a strong pain in my neck and shoulder right now I feel like crying. And I always manage to carry heavy stuff or play too rough with the children, like today, I threw one kid over my shoulder... Big mistake! I can't even carry my handbag!!! If it doesn't get better in two weeks I'll go see a doctor. Maybe...

Today I got a call from my landlord! I will get a new refrigerator and fridge and new cabinets in the kitchen!! *Yeay* Finally! I have lived here for about 7 years soon and nothing is new. I will also get new wallpapers soon, I hope! haha! I will feel even more happy when the apartment is fresh and clean. Not like now, like a dump.. Wallpapers coming off and looking hideous...

Time is ticking, I have to take my soar neck and go to sleeeeep.....

Pai pai!! //Teri
