During the Tet holiday (the traditional new year festival of Vietnam), I got a chance to go back to my dad's hometown called An Lac village to visit relatives and old neighbors there(the name 'An Lac' means Peace and Happiness in English). It is a small village located in Hung Yen province which is 60km far from Hanoi capital. Rarely do I go to this place (really, 'once in a blue moon' since my grandma was dead). 5 years went by and I returned to the old hometown with a (not) comfortable feelings.

Tet holiday - Love it!

Friday, 16. January 2009, 11:23:34

The traditional Tet holiday is coming and I begin to be fed up with studying. When people are busy preparing for the Tet, I have to go to school. God! Despite this, I still tried to attend classes (even) more enthusiastically than ever - I'm good at pretending maybe :D

Today is the last day at school. Yahoo!!! I, on behalf of our class, presented Mrs. Annie with a couple of "Chung cakes" - the traditional cake of the Tet holiday in Vietnam. She beamed and said that was her first time tasting this food. How lovely she was then! Hope that the cakes haven't got sour yet :D - just kidding!

I am at the coffee shop on my university campus now, relaxing with music and chatting with friends. Feel good! Tomorrow I'll go volunteer at KOTO - I'll write about it later, it's an NGO - then come home the next day. I miss my family a lot ... a lot ... miss my grandma, my parents and also my pretty pets. I wish I were home now to hug them and gather together for dinner.

I am looking forward to the Tet holiday. Right after going home, it is certain that I will have to do all the housework like cleaning the house, washing and cooking. Despite that, I am happy to do it for the perfect Tet holiday. Wow, I love it!
