its been a while since i last blogged... but im kinna bored so im try and blog about something

so last weekend i came back to birmingham ^_^ yeys! came back on friday around 3! so met up with mohan, since no one was freeeeeeeeeee, decided to meet up at aston uni so mohan could show me aroundddddddddddd. TONS of asianss!! its alot smaller than cardiff.. though im not surprised since cardiff is so spread out~~ they have there own subway in the GUILD! (omg its so weird to me hearing GUILD.. since im used to calling it the SU). so had the tour.... the business school has hairy glass hanging from the ceiling =S. After the tour we went to woktastic! this is actually been the 6th time i've eaten since returning to cardiff... i had ramen this time! which i didnt have the other 5 times i went.. but seriously... if anyone wants to take me to a japanese restaurant in the next couple of weeks... i will punch their face in.... getting bored of the menu.....

The reason i went back to birmingham last weekend is cos my aunt from america is visiting us for the week, the last time my dad saw her was more than 20 years ago when my dad visited her in the US. This is her first time to meet my mum and me and jess. Shes so short, and has an american accent; shes much older than my dad.. i think by around 10 years i think. I think shes adorableeeeeeeeeeeeee. I feel kinna bad for only getting to stay for the weekend, she arrived on saturday morning and i left sunday afternoon. It would've been nice to hear all the stories about my dad and my uncles and learn abit more about my family.

My aunt whose name is kim, she left vietnam when my dad was only 14, my dad had 6 other brothers and sisters, kim was the oldest... she practically raised all her brother and sisters since my grandparents we're too busy... kim actually said that my grandmother "didn't know how to look after children".... im unsure on all the details, but she left vietnam.. with an american soldier and they got married and had 2 kids... I HAVE HALF AMERICAN COUSINS!... they're really old now anyway.. ones chris and the other michelle. Chris is actually married and has 2 little girls.. WHO HAVE BLONDE HAIR!!.. I HAVE BLONDE RELATIVES!! .... its weird they dont look asian AT ALL!!... Kim has lived in the US for so long she prefers talking in english, where she lives theres only one other vietnamese family around, so its hard to keep speaking vietnamese when there isnt many people around who'll understand you. Anyway.. she divorced her soldier husband at some point.. then got married again... but got divorced again.. so shes single and living on her own now. i wish i could've stayed longer, have no idea when i'll get the chance to see her again, i wanna meet my cousins too! i doubt she'll take another trip over here, shes getting oldddddddd; but i hope we'll get to go to the US and visit her soon! my mum actually wanted to go to america last summer but my dad said nooooooooo... he wants to go to vietnam first. I think we're going this summer... hopefully..., my dad hasnt even started applying for the visas though he said was gonna get them done since the start of the yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

This week has been pretty busy.. since i didnt get any hmwk done over the weekend, and monday is a full day and then we had the physics social pub crawl in the evening, got home at 2:30.. i think...... had absinthe for the first time... wasnt very exciting.. though i finally had that Margarita slush puppy thingy! it was colddddddddddddddddddd
Tuesday night was the japsoc halloween party, it started at 7:30.... cos i was too lazy to pay.. and the money was really for the food... and i didnt want to eat there.. so i just joined late. MAN there were so many asians... but i didnt bother to talk to any of them, just had fun with the friends i already have, wasnt in the mood for meeting new peoples, and i probs wont see them again since they're mosty jap and business students. Went to a club after, live lounge.. stuff happened there which i wanna forget about... lets say.. im traumatised.... and will never go to any other jsoc event ever again...
