Any brothers here know the meaning of moi ban den?

My guess is "I celebrate my bd already. I invite friends come"....

The word moi can be found here:
mỏi | mòi | moi | mọi | môi | mồi | mỗi | mối | mời | mới

mời = to invite (VERB)

Bro, now you are consider one of the expert in TV here in my opinion, dun disappoint me. U must set good example by checking DICK-tionary Must be Hardworking nhe!

Hi Jackbl. Thanks your advice, but I am not an expert la. After traveling too much, now I forgot even the most basic tieng viet. Surely I checked the dictionary before I dare to ask any questions here. I also thought about the translation you offered, but I just felt it was not correct. However, after a second thought, I think you are correct. so pai sei to ask such a simple question here...

HCM City to collect car fees
================================================== =====

VietNamNet Bridge – The city authorities on August 6 approved the Tien Phong Technology Joint Stock Company’s project to collect fees from cars entering the city’s hub.

The area for fee collection surrounds the following roads: Ly Thai To – Nguyen Van Cu – Chuong Duong Wharf – Ton Duc Thang, roads along Thi Nghe canal – Dan Chu construction site – 3/2 road – Le Hong Phong – Ly Thai To. These roads belong to Districts 1, 3 and 10.

An electronic fee collecting system called Electronic Road Pricing will be installed on these roads.

HCM City authorities will collect car fees as a method to curb traffic jams during peak hours. It will become the first city in Vietnam to do so.

HCM City plans to apply Singapore’s ERP system on a trial basis. This system works in the following way: drivers purchase their cards at banks and charge their cards via ATMs; when their cars go through ERP points, fee-collecting transponders on their vehicles will automatically deduct money.

If the cards don’t have enough value or the cars don’t have transponders, cameras at ERP points will film the cars and send the pictures to the control centre.

This technology is said to easily control cars. ERP systems can be fine-tuned to requirements of any time of day.

managed to guess some, but without the punctuation and with so many missing letters / words, difficult to guess entire message until KT post the above.

"Yesterday sleep no see your sms, morning just see, sorlie, you do what, got work or not?"

Did she mention a "kiss" (hon)at the end of the sms? as I never see hon used to khong before.

Strange news in VN!!!!

Woman reportedly pregnant for nearly two years
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – Nguyen Thi Chien, 25, in Hiep Hoa district, the northern province of Bac Giang has reportedly been pregnant for nearly two years.

Chien’s husband, Duong Van Tuan, 35, claimed that his wife has been pregnant for 21 months. He explained that his wife saw doctors the first time when she was over three months pregnant.

Doctors examined her and made an ultrasound scan, saying the child was a boy and very healthy. They calculated that she would give birth in early September 2009.

The woman had no labor pain on the days that doctors anticipated. At a local hospital, doctors examined her again and told the family they must wait because Chien has not begun labor yet. The placenta clung to the womb, so they couldn’t perform an operation, which could cause hemorrhaging.

For two months afterwards, Chien still have no sign of labor pain though she still felt the child move. When she was 11 months pregnant, the couple went to the Central Obstetrics Hospital in Hanoi and doctors still said that they must wait.

“I have been waiting for my wife’s labor for nearly one year. But I can’t wait anymore because the fetus is 21 months old already. Doctors at the Central Obstetrics Hospital made an appointment for us on August 20 to decide on an operation, but I’m so anxious, I will bring my wife to the hospital tomorrow,” Tuan told VNExpress online newspaper on August 12.

Dr. Tran Danh Cuong, chief of the Central Obstetrics Hospital’s Obstetrics 1 Ward, said this is a very weird case. He stated that no child can live for over 45 weeks in the womb. “No doctor should let a woman be pregnant for 21 months,” Cuong confirmed.

VietNamNet will bring our readers updated information about this case.

Billionaires in online games
===================================

VietNamNet Bridge – Today, the value of a character in the online game “Vo Lam Truyen Ky” (Swordsman) may reach a billion dong ($55,000).

At a recent competition among Vo Lam Truyen Ky players, the bonus for the winner was a virtual “Mystical World” ring, which was priced at 700 million dong of cash ($39,000). According to players of Vo Lam Truyen Ky, a computer game based on Chinese stories about the world of martial arts, anyone who owns this ring will be the champion.

The virtual world of Vo Lam Truyen Ky is weird and funny to “pagans,” the name given to those who don’t play Vo Lam Truyen Ky.

This is a story about a 60-year-old gamer. He always wakes early to play Vo Lam Truyen Ky. One day he had to go to the countryside where there is no Internet. The man still woke up early and made a phone call to his son.

“Son, help me send Hong That Thu (the name of his character in Vo Lam Truyen Ky) to the Dao Hoa Island,” he told his son.

"Which Hong That Thu, father?” the son answered.

“The beggar with nine bags. Remember to buy eight bowls of rice soup for him and let him eat the miraculous drug!” he told his son.

After a long period of playing Vo Lam Truyen Ky day and night, Hong That Thu in Vo Lam Truyen Ky, the old man’s character, has become famous. This character is among the top ten fighters who owns special tools which enhance his martial art skills. The total value in cash for this character and his equipment is around 20 million dong ($1000).

However, to reach this level in Vo Lam Truyen Ky, the man had to pay a high cost. He played the game from the early morning to mid-night, spending nearly 2 million dong ($100) a month on fees and several additional million dong a month to buy virtual weapons and to hire other gamers to collect virtual weapons for his character.

One year ago, Vo Lam Truyen Ky players were impressed when a character named Hac Dieu purchased a weapon called “Vo danh gioi chi” at the price of 250 million dong ($14,000).

After that, a gamer named Excarvator paid 270 million dong to buy a weapon called “Toan thach gioi chi”.

Recently, a rich man in HCM City surprised the Vo Lam Truyen Ky world with his character named NoaMi, which owns weapons worth around 1.2 billion dong ($63,000).

At the first auction of virtual weapons in Vo Lam Truyen Ky, the price for the “Toan thach gioi chi” ring was fixed at 78 million dong ($4,350). The price gradually increased to 150 million, then 240 million dong, and its present price of 500 million dong.

One of the most famous characters in the world of Vo Lam Truyen Ky is CuWay, which is owned by a “big boss” in HCM City. The man paid 280 million dong ($16,500) to buy a weapon named “Lang nhac vo cuc huyen ngoc boi” for his character and over 100 million dong for a virtual hat called “Trang bi hoang kim Thieu lam phai.” It is rumored that the man has paid nearly a billion dong to buy weapons for his character.

Outsiders may ask themselves why gamers would be willing to pay a billion dong for virtual things in a computer game.

To earn glory in the virtual world, perhaps!
