05/01 Dubai Day 3: I Wanna Buy Land in Vietnam
The 3rd day started off with visiting some of the local popular tourist spots. One of my favorite, was the visit to Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island off Dubai full of luxury apartments, hotels and yacht docks
Ascending one of the view tower in middle of Palm Jumeirah, the view was simply breathtaking:
Simply breathtaking isn’t it, Em Yeu?
As I looked across the marvels of the landscape, it reminded me of the video and photos you took on your last trip back to Vietnam. The streets, the lands, the sea. And the house that you sold.
Em Yeu, do you still remember how we have talked about buying and investing in land back in your homeland… I can still remember you once told me that we can start off with a small one that cost around 40k…
When we talked about buying land in Vietnam at that time, to be frank I was very excited, about investing in Vietnam, and accompanying you whenever you go back to Vietnam. I really liked that idea. It was really one thing that we can do together. It was something that I want to do with only you…
That was when I regretted not keeping enough savings in my own bank account. One thing I have not told you before, was how much a spendthrift I was. I often treat friends to meals, I often lend money to friends which I seldom asked to take back, I spent a lot in games etc
Cause all along I always thought it was enough to just set side money into my joint savings account with Elsa. As long I can keep some savings in our joint account, I thought that would be enough…
Over the past 3 years ever since we spent our past savings and bought furnitures, electrical appliances and renovated our new house, both me and Elsa has a total of over 40k in our joint account before I hand everything to Elsa and closed the account cause of our divorce. Our arrangement ever since we were married, was to save up 1 – 1.5k each month into the joint account, for all our household expenses, bills and vacations, until I start working in grab…
I always thought it would be enough, as I never expected to meet you Em Yeu… I have never prepared for you to appear in my life…
My original plans was to get my health back into shape for a few months through grab, before I go back to my real work… but since you appeared, I wanted to stay with you, and hence continued working in grab until now… I believed you already knew that you are the only reason I have stayed in grab…
I still have the video you sent me when you are on your way to your Vietnam house…
I have not thought of going to Vietnam at all my whole life until I met you… and ever since I met you, that became one of my dream – to know your family, your 3 best friends, your homeland, and your childhood etc…
I want to know everything about you, and be part of the rest of your life…
Although right now I have to start to earn money all over again after I gave everything to Elsa, buying a land in Vietnam shall be my biggest dream from now on.
Please wait for me Em Yeu… I’ll stand up on my own again and come for you…
