"The rest of the week (Day 4-7)"

These past few days have been unproductive. We were in our pyjamas the whole day; eating the food we brought from Brunei and taking long naps.

Yesterday, we had an orientation which took about 2 hours of our time. It was an introduction to the Fpt University, presented by Mr Keng and also 'How to Survive in and off-campus' by Columbus, a Nigerian guy who is one of the member of Banana Team (ala Student Representative Council). It was very funny yet informative. We also get to introduce ourselves and played a classic game called "2 truths & a lie". We pretty much know each other well way before the orientation. I've been observing the people I'm with and found that it's a mixture of different types of people; loud, religious, funny, shy and of course, there's me. We pretty much get along with each other. Some are friendly and some are otherwise but who doesnt love me, right? Its hard not to. Haha!

After we finished with our short but sweet orientation, monumental thing happened as one of our friends suggested us to order this halal food from Little India (a mixture of Malaysian, Indian and Chinese cuisine). It was heaven! The food was amazing! You could taste home in your mouth & the smell of the food we ordered was filling our head with the ambiance and the environment we remember of our home. I had a chicken tikka masala, chicken briyani and Chinese fried rice. I have to say I am loving the food. The price was reasonable and the taste was nearly the same in Brunei. You dont know how happy and hyper we were that night.

The next day, which was today, was living hell. We had to wake up early in the morning - around 6am, as our schedule for today was to visit the Brunei's Embassy. We had to meet him in the morning due to that he had to meet and host the visit from Brunei's ministers to Vietnam. The ambassador was Husney's uncle so I took the chance to actually meet and talk to them so I can ...you know... Hehe! We then met the wife who was very friendly. They were so chilled. They even took selfies with me! :)

Apart from that, they served us Bruneian food- food that we actually missed eating: Nasi Lemak, Cucur Udang, Mee Mamak, Daging Rendang and also this scrumptious Lemon Cheese Cake. I would like to thank them for pampering us with these delicious food. The ambassador and his wife had the chance to talk to each and every single person in the room, making us feel welcomed.

It wasn't long till we finished everything. By 1, i found myself lying on my bunkbed in my room, feeling restless. & Yes, the aircon is finally working! I kinda pity the girls who were trying to sleep every night, listening to my crazy exorcist snoring. If its werent for them, i would stuck in this room sweating my ass off.

I once said, "its a part of human nature!" to which they replied, "more like Satanic's nature!"

......& tonight, my victims will be a Chinese and a Japanese guy, who I like to call, my room mates.

Good night!
