This was a very memorable day for me. April, 2010, was a low point for me. Everything that could go wrong did. My students knew it as well. When Joy and Long gave me a surprise birthday party, I was surprised. They put a lot of effort into it. No other student has ever done this for me. They are still two of my favorite students.
I miss those days teaching ICT at AIS. The school was at its peak then, now it is struggling. Still, I have fond memories at this school.
Below is the original post from April 19, 2010:
Last Friday was my 38th birthday. I went to my IT class at the American International School and was surprised to find two of my students, Joy and Long, had prepared a surprise party for me. Joy had made me some pasta with spaghetti sauce, sushi for the entire class and brought a huge cake. Boy was I glad I skipped lunch that day.
Thanks Joy and Long! This will be a memorable AIS moment for me to reflect upon in the future.


Lol at “big belly” and “handsome”. Those words usually don’t go together in the West.
🙂 Yeah, I agee…
You’re the IT guy at AIS? Ahhhhh, I know you! You and I share a mutual friend, Linh Trieu. She used to be your coworker, I guess. I think the school I used to work at was trying to hire you some time back. haha, that’s funny. Small world.
Hi Alex: I met Linh at APC back in September.
