There I was, sleeping like a baby log. Then I heard laughter that made me awake. My mom told me to wake up and meet Co Utt (since she came at 1:00 in the morning and I didn’t get to meet her)! I woke up eagerly and jumped out of bed like I was jumping from a skyscraper. I brushed my stinky, ugly teeth and brushed my hair and acted like I woke up minutes ago. I came outside and hugged her like I was hugging a big squishy bear! Sadly, I’m the same size of her. She gave me presents from other people and from her. She passed me this “chinese” dress which looks like a sister of the ao dai. It was purple and had beautiful glitters on it. I wore it right after I got it!
Then my “chinese-acting” dad saw me. Oh the torture started! He started wearing this hideous suit with this over sized black coat and then slide on his 70’s looking glasses. He took a long time pampering himself that Co Utt just told me to take about 3 pictures before he comes out which I predict will be an hour later! I went out and I was like freezed to death! I stood on the homemade bridge my dad made long ago, and then she took one picture of me standing on the bridge. Now I didn’t smile really big because it seems like the wind froze my mouth to expand. I was about to run after I heard a silent flash but then she told me to sit on the bars of the bridge. I was very sad, SO CLOSE to escape from the
coldness. Another flash happened, I stood up then she told me, “NO NO! One more picture, ok?” I felt like I was gonna die in the inside. The coldness was running through my body. It was like 30 degrees outside and guess what? The dress has short sleeves and shows a lot of skin on both legs and arms. (let’s include the face, shall we?) So after the OFFICIAL picture of me, I ran with the wind inside!
As I got to the house I felt the warm temperature defrosting me down. It was like in a hot tub but without water! Then I took one step and FINALLY my dad came out. Oh lookey now! He gets to have a hat, coat, and scarf but me?! Ugly costume but good warmth! I should’ve done that! But Co Utt gave me a break and let me stay in the house until my dad’s done taking pictures. She called my name and I ran in my black dress shoes. I took pictures with my dad which was taking forever! BUT it finally ended just after 4 pictures! Hooray! I ran inside and changed into my warm pajamas in under a minute. Well, that’s my freezing story for you. Have a freezing Chinese New Year/Tet!

You look very pretty in your Chinese dress
d(^-^)
My aunts sometimes make me pose for pictures, too, but I try and run away when they aren't looking (^w^);
Where was Dan when this all happened? Did he get to escape?! (>ロ<)
Talk to me more, okay? I miss you very much!!! o(ToT)/~
Amy (not Ami) (^ー^)/
Hello Hotvit
I have admired your father very much. I dont know when I will have the honor to meet your 'Bo Sy'. He is great a human being without hatred and no bitterness no grudge or even no vengeful against the tyrants.
I read "Bo Sy'Di" and I was moved deeply to know your family predicament after the "giai phong".
Please send my regards to "Bo Sy" and tell him that I wish Bo Sy and Mme Hao (his wife) all the best and they will live as long as 110 years!
