Oi~~

I have been falling sick recently and frequently.. Resting on the bed and writing some notes here to kill the boredom..

.
.

12

Don't say 'twelve', say 'mười hai' instead :D

'Muoi hai' is the number for completion in things like schooling.. months..

'Muoi hai' reminds us of our last year in high school, of memories..

'Muoi hai' 'Muoi hai'..

..uhm.. I like 7 indeed :))

Talking about number, we, Vietnamese use numbers more than names to call someone, and place 'sis, auntie, uncle..' before that. Ex: auntie 7(th), uncle 8(th)..

For elder to call younster is 2(th), 3(th)..

[Extra: Well, of course nowadays we don't use numbers to call people often, we use name - of course - but we still keep 'sis, auntie, uncle..' before the name. But not in my (mother-side) family, lol, we only use name/number to call, not even add any prefix, lol, this has been very annoying for my grandpa (father-side). We don't use it so often that if we used it, we would feel so... distant. Ha-ha-ha... Of course strangers will feel .. strange and somehow disrespectful, but it's not.. >.< Now, having people older than me calling me 'sis' makes me feel so.. old.. ~No.......... Bcuz they call me 'sis', I have to use 'lil sis/bro' (em) to call them back... which... makes me feel... older.... @.@ 


Because in my family I don't call my little sister 'em' and she doesn't call me 'sis' as well, we feel like friends.. Should I tell them to not call me 'sis'? :-S 


But hearing sisters/brothers calling 'anh Hai/chi Hai' sounds so sweet~ hearing only, cannot apply on me~]
