[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What [/FONT][FONT=&quot]a terrible weather!! Although it not too cold but the small rain made the road became really muddy and wet. Who want to go out in this kind of weather! Of course, Bingoers is the exception, and today, we had an extremely fun of meeting . Let me report a little about it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To prepare a little bit for today meeting, 2.45pm, I and Mr.Huy were the first and second person attended at Bingo. Right after that, Mr. Ha came really early today, not like usual . Then, Bingo became more and more crowded with a lot of new and old members. It will be fun today .[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The meeting started with introduction part. Ms another Hong Anh made it became great fun when she told everybody that she didn’t know him/her and he/she had to introduce (even our president). Right after that, we had a small game about flower. 14 type of flowers was showed in the screen, and we found its name together, then we worked in team to macthing each type of flower with it own meaning. After about 10 minutes all the groups enthusiastic discuss, argue, and almost is… guess , 3 answer sheets were completed. Group 1 with 5 mem: Mr T, Mr.Ha, Mr.Minh Duc, Ms Hong Anh and Mr. Cuong – a new guy of Bingo, was the group finished earliest. However, I think that this group guessed all, because of the fact that all of their answer was wrong . Group 3 of Mr Huy, Mr Hinh, Mr Toan and 2 ladies: Ms Dung and Ms Mai, was the second group finished this game with the score 2/14, however, this group cheated because starting earlier, therefore, out! . The last was the group 2, with the [/FONT]attempt [FONT=&quot]and careful of Mr Kien, Mr Hai, Ms Chau, Ms Hang and Mr Viet Duc, this group also got the score 2/14. Anyways, a round of applause for the well guess of Bingoers . Thanks Ms another Hong anh for giving us quite much knowledge about flower. After this meeting, we should think carefully when we want to give someone flower .[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Next, we moved to the discussion part. With the attended of Mr Vu Duc in group 1, Ms Thuc Anh (without Mr.Minh ) in group 2, Mr Gia in group 3 and Ms president + assistant (reporter) move around, the number of Bingo today was up to 20 people! Outside was raining and look like a little bit cold, but in Bingo at that time, it was really warm and even noisy . A lot of stories were told, many experiences were shared, I can’t remember and write down all of it. All in my mind at that time was the laugh of everybody, the discussion between Mr T and Ms Hong Anh (fake), Mr Hai and Mr Viet Duc about change gender (specially Mr T), Mr Kien when he was 5, the story about fake snake of Ms Mai… The atmosphere is more and more excited.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Today, after meeting, not anymore game as usual, we hold a small event to celebrate international women’s day for all Bingo’s ladies . For starting, as a first gift for ladies, the rhythm of a Chinese song named “đồng thoại” resounded from Mr Minh Duc’s ghitar in warmly welcome of everybody. Mr Vu Duc is also able to play ghitar, but because another Hong Anh said surely that it was noise but not music, so we didn’t had a chance to listen his performance . The most important part, 7 roses was taken in turn by 7 gentlemen of Bingo and was gifted with the best wishes for 7 beautiful girls of Bingo today. Mr Huy was the first person had this honour and the name on the first rose was Ms mai. Then, Mr Ha (today became Mr Minh “fake”) gifted the rose to Ms Thuc Anh. After that, Mr Cuong gifted the rose for Ms another Hong Anh and Mr Gia with Ms Chau. Next was Mr Kien with extremely romantic wishes for Ms Dung , Mr Hai and Ms Hang – a girl had same name with his ex (is this destiny ). Last but not least, our president, Ms Hong Anh xd was gifted the biggest rose by Mr Toan . For the end of meeting, all the man of Bingo (in fact it was all Bingoers ) sing aloud the song “My love” together with the ghitar and drummer – Mr Ha . As the last gift, all the men here volunteered to pay for all the ladies’ drink. Bravo for the gallantry of Bingo’s guy!![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hope that all Bingoers had a joyful weekend. Especially Bingo’s ladies, wish you all have a happy international women’s day full of love, flower, gift and best wishes. [/FONT]

nice

what a "crazy" day, I totally lose my voice now . Welcome back Mr Thanh!!!

ok, i lose my voice 2.
it was very surprised to me to see many members last Saturday. especially too much female members. Most of them are single, i guess. The lady sat next to mr Kien made a strong impression on me when she won the game Call Name, i will pay for her drink next time, if i have enough money , Though the negociation with Mrs Manager of the coffe was not successful, our bingo team still had emotion to enjoy Saturday night by going out, It was a little big party with too much shellfish, oyster, and wine ofcourse, I am still drunk now . After the full meal, our Bingo players continued the dancing and singing part at Juaguar Karaoke, too much nice songs with Minh's terrible voice, and Kien's also, sorry I have to say that , but i like the interior there , and also the electric and music devices there, may be we will come back some day. Come back lately at 10pm, and I lose my voice, i swear to myself never go out like that again

swear to yourself never go out like that again?? i don't think so
anyways, thank you for your report

[FONT=&quot]Another Saturday came and although was a little bit cold day, it still nice one to go out . And perhaps due to the echo of the international women day 8/3, ladies at the beginning totally outnumbered men. And we – the organizers of the club[/FONT][FONT=&quot] anxiously asked ourselves “where are our sweet guys now?” Luckily, after a few minutes passed, such lovely guys finally appeared and kindly joined us. Especially, after nearly half of year disappeared, Mr. Thanh, our former president, and Mr. Tien – the man who had before told a romantic love story that really impressed Bingoers, especially the girls, came back to Bingo today. All in all, thanks to many newcomers today, the atmosphere was really buoyant![/FONT][FONT=&quot]
In the warm-up activity, we worked in groups to work out “How someone feels” in some certain situations. Group 1 included 4 members: Mr Dung, Mr Thanh, Ms another H.a and two newcomers: Mr Linh and Ms Thuy Trang and and the talk of this group was mainly around the crazy idea: becoming a spider girl as it came to the question C: “[/FONT]: “You suddenly wake up in the middle of your dream. You turn around and see a spider as big as palm on the wall near your bed...” In group 2 we had 5 Bingoers: Mr Tien, Ms Hoa, Mr Hai, Ms Dung and Ms Hang looked very excited at “dìm hàng” Mr. Kien and that’s why this group was a little bit nosier than the others. Group 3 with the attendance of Mr Vu Duc, Mr Nhat Minh, Ms Hanh, Ms Giang and Ms My Anh, seemed to be the most hard-working group and finished this activity earliest. Bravo for Group 3!
Move to the next part, we discussed in more detail about Feeling. With the enthusiasm of Bingoers, the atmosphere was completely warmed up and became even… noisy (you might find it from outside our room ). I (Ms. Trang) joined in Group 1 along with Mr Gia who also took part in Group 1 due to coming late as Group 1 was closest to the door. And the main topic of Group 1 was “how do you feel when you see your boy/girlfriend go out with another girl/boy?” After this question, we surprisingly found that Ms Hong Anh and Mr Gia are really violent because they intended to use acid (Ms H.a) or even to beat (Mr Gia) to solve such a situation that they were assumed to be in .
The meeting finished with a small but interesting game created by Ms another Hong Anh in which a player and a character will be chosen out and the player has to ask 3 yes/no questions to find out who is the chosen character (the player does not know the character of course). We had 3 players in this game: Ms president Hong Anh, Mr Thanh and Ms Hoa. In the end, although it was the first time she participated the club, Ms Hoa was the winner with intelligent questions and found exactly the chosen character for her turn: Mr Thanh. What’s a clever lady (but according to Mr. Kien, a little bit tricky)!!!
It was something about our meeting on March 10th 2012. Hope that you all enjoy it. See you next week Bingoers!
