So your friend don't go, you also don't go with me, right or not?

Precisely... especially when you cannot find W in the entire 29 alphabets for Tieng Viet.

My bad lor... As I cannot find a logical translation for "lun", I take it that she meant "luôn", which, now that I checked back my dictionary, can mean "often" (when used 1 time - luôn) or always (when used 2 times - luôn luôn).

Which means, she reply should read like this (?):

So your friend don't go, you also don't go with me often, right or not?

I didnt find the dictionary.. hihi.. so you just taught me a new word..

In the sentence, I think luon is used as a slang.. Singapore got singlish so Vietnam have Vietlish..

for example,
dung quen anh nhe..
don't forget me hor..

nhe is used as a slang here.. just like how we use hor..

also encounter VBs sms: Dung quen em nha..

nha can be house, but in this instance, its used as a slang..

Hope I didnt say anythg to piss anybody off.. just a 2 cents worth of vietlish..

o with me often, right or not?

When "luôn" appears at the end of the sentence, it is difficult to translate it into English, but it can be translated as "一直" in Chinese.

e.g 1 "Anh ko muon di voi em luon" (你一直不跟我去)
e.g 2 "O ben day muon an cai do ma e dau goi cai do la cai gi, boi vay nhin doi luon." (在這里我想吃奌什麼, 卻不知那些東西叫什麼, 只好一直餓著)

Just my 2 dong of advice.

Does Vietnam celebrate Chinese new year like SG does? I am planning a trip from 5th Feb (chu 3) onwards, will all the shops/discos etc or places of interest be closed?

Yes they do.

In VN it's called Tet.

Most of the people (girls) will be travelling to the countryside and wont return till about 1 week after.

（河内讯）2011是猫年，不是兔年？越南声称12生肖是越南人独有的精神产品，而不是中国的 。

距离华人农历春节只有20天，越南到处都是热闹的气氛，人人都在为新年准备。不同于中国、日本、韩国，根据 越南历，2011年是猫年，而不是兔年。

同样过农历新年为何生肖出现不同？有许多种解释，有人说，对越南人而言，猫比兔更熟悉，越南人喜欢猫，因此 用猫代替兔，让它成为第4个生肖。

也有人说，12生肖的故事有一个越南版，虽然猫没参加比赛，但因为猫是老虎的兄弟（民间把猫称为“小虎”） ，虎被选了，所以猫也被选入12生肖，居在老虎之后。

越南学者黄宫松宣称，经过长期潜心研究12生肖，证明12生肖是越南人的精神产品，而不是中国的。最重要依 据就在于猫年。

For gf/bx who easily lost their handphone, new model and consider cheap....

Bluefone enters the market
=======================================
VietNamNet Bridge - On January 12, CMC Distribution unveiled the company’s first series of locally-made mobile handsets under the brand-name Bluefone, which is aimed at the medium- to low-end market segment in Vietnam.

The five models are E151, E161, U121, U122 and U123 and vary in price from VND890,000 to VND1.3 million ($44.5 to $69.5). The products are assembled abroad and distributed nationwide through CMC Distribution’s network.

Of these, the U121 and U123 handset are being integrated with four SIM cards at a price of $44.5 each and the E161 is being integrated with three SIM cards at a price of $64.5.

Pham Hong Hai, general director of CMC Distribution, said the new phones benefited from mass and low-cost production from original equipment manufacturers in the world so as to provide local customers with a low price phone.

CMC Distribution is now also distributing Sony Ericsson mobile handset in Vietnam. With Bluefone handsets, CMC Distribution now joins domestic rivals such as ABTel company with QMobile handset and FPT with Fmobile who are competing for the medium- to low-end mobile market segments in Vietnam.
