Class of 1981 picked up a stray cat, Phan Hoang Vu. It's such a warm feeling to see our friendship coming alive. Despite almost twenty years apart, we chat just like seeing each other yesterday in class. Our conversation flowing around the globe seems no border in between. An insight from the stray cat, Phan Hoang Vu:

See my life and love me more!

After school, I was forced to the shitty countryside to work hardly as a mechanic, then a driver, more exactly a bulldozer operator. This hard work taught me alot but also took all of my friends away. I had not seen school friends any more but rude drivers and road builders. You all know that the unforgetable time of suffer could change people a new guy. Me too, TD or MT would not believe that I swore all the time like a pander. But they would love me more if they knew what I did to support my big fam until I awoke. I would 've died in the remote area full of mines and wild grass if I did not come back home, dying of malaria.

It seemed that I dropped my Romance somewhere while wandering from rubber plantations to old battle sites. I have been missing everyone who loved my Romance even now.

In 1987, I started my life again by joining English evening classes that changed my destiny. You knew English was the only subject I was keen on. Out of job, accompanying to Malaria virus, I had to work all kinds of works even handicapchildren teaching until the tourist boom occured Vietnam in 1989. First, waiters, second, receptionist and then Tourist Guide. I travelled alot, learned alot and absolutely lost all of my friends.

Dear friends,
That's why I am glad to hear from you. And of course it will be more happy when I see Shorty Top now a strong man, or see Thinh a DOM . I will be in the US some day to see how you all changed.

With all of my effords, I've changed my life. I love my past, it's worth to live. If I had a second life, I would do it again, and this time I would not loose my Romance. promise! Tell me your hard life too, I love to hear all. Thinking of you.
