Will the "Top Kill" Procedure Work?

Watching CNN.

BP has began its operations to "top-kill" the massive leak.

I hope it works.

If not, I cannot imagine the damage to the environment.

The Heat in Hanoi

It is really hot in Hanoi these days.

Last week we had 40 degrees. It is presently hovering around 35 to 37 degrees which to me is too hot for comfort.

It is so hot that Pooch kept on "asking" to come into the house.

I am told that we can expect the weather to get even hotter as summer gets under way.

Oi troi oi, they said, in Vietnam.

Not good.

I need airconditioned clothes.

Natania Speaks

My little princess is growing up well.

She can be quite a handful at times but one thing for certain, she is hilarious.

Let me share this story.

It was late in the night and I was trying to put her to bed.

And I began this conversation:

"Nat, go to the toilet and clean up", I said.

"No, I do not speak English. I speak only Chinese", she replied with a smile, feigning ignorance.

I was speechless. It was such a good rejoinder that I sat on my bed and starting laughing.

Priceless.

Will be tough for me in the future when she grows up.

Return to Blogging

Been too long. More than a year now.

I think I will restart my blog.

Holidays!

Next week is Spring break!

Will be bringing the kids and Nicole to Hoi An. Our first holiday within Vietnam.

Hope the weather holds!

Nat and Ian

Both Nat and Ian are down with a flu bug.

Nat has cleared her fever phase but Ian is in the midst of his fever phase. Around 38 plus degrees and no appetite. Hopefully this will clear very soon by tomorrow.

Nat is almost back to her usual self - mischievous and precocious - I can hear her from the second floor shouting at Pooch!

Which is good.

Hope Ian recovers soon. Miss his usual self.

Winter again in Hanoi

Winter left us almost three weeks ago.

But it has come back again with a vengence. The temperature has fallen back to the teens. It is wet everyday and as you can imagine, mud everywhere.

According to a news report, it is because of a passing storm. Hopefully it will clear up soon.

If not, we got to break out all the winter wear again!

On the flipside, Pooch is happy as she can spend her time in the house since it is too cold outside.

Happy dog.
