The words NOI CHUYEN have been discussed by bro AdGuy. Why u didnt take note of his posting?

[creeve]

lol... all i remember is that she don't understand english at all, hence automatically switch to tv mode.

i did read the last few pages where a lot of posts are made regarding "noi chuyen" etc. i did understand that, as she always say in her messages that she enjoy talking "heart matters" with me. i'm just thrown off by her using "chat" as english word and refers to it as "noi chuyen qua vi tinh". i remember "nhieu chuyen" by heart because another girl i spent a lot of time with always chidded me "nhieu chuyen".

i'm just curious whether "noi chuyen qua vi tinh" got any special meaning as i was thinking "hum sup" in my mind.

looks like really have to buy you beer liao. lol...
