Vietnam Trip 2008

I'm back from Vietnam!! (Cheers!)

A lengthy and wordy post. Alt+f4 or click the cross at the top-right hand side of the page if you don't want to read :)

Friday
Departed from Singapore, the plane food isn't very nice, but i eat it all anyway. Went for tea-break in Vietnam at Pho 2000, ate beef noodle and i finished up all the noodles though i was very full, the bowl was very huge. Aftermath, visited two museums for history of American-Vietnam war. Watched water puppet show by the Vietnamese, very interesting and unique! Checked in the hotel, had dinner at the hotel. Can't stand the people smoking in there. I was so pissed off when i saw this man smoking, i don't mind him smoking. But he freaking smoked in front of his daughter/grand daughter. I really feel like giving him one tight slap. He want to die, it's his problem, what for implicate a young innocent child? Had reflection and off to our room. Chatted for an hour and went to bed. Had i hard time sleeping and i counted sheep, lol! & i swear the traffic there is very very very scary. The motorcyclist drive as though they're road is theirs!!! (Inserts msn's angry face) Dangerous yet fun. Hahah.

Saturday
Woke up at 7am (Singapore time), washed up and went down for breakfast. Went to visit a museum and handicap center which those handicap people craft boxes, pictures etc. And the material is very glossy! They used the egg shell to make those shapes and i think it's very interesting. Had lunch and headed off to Hguyen Hien High school. Went into the schl and everyone were like looking at us as though they never seen strangers before. Lol. Went to the hall (i think so.) Inside have table and chairs for us to sit! :D It's very good la, 'cause it won't make our leg cramp after sitting so long, not like Singaporeans, sit on the floor except for teachers. Hahah. I think Vietnamese high school are very nice! :) Even though they're technology aren't better than us, but they're really very friendly and approachable! Watched the performances, very nice, as in the singing. I think they're singing are very nice! Real voice somemore! Better than us Singaporeans, (in my opinion). One more thing, they still feel so hyper at 5pm! While us Singaporeans will be dead beat at around 3, 4plus. LOL. Had dinner on a cruise! There's a nice performance by a girl that won't be burnt even the fire touch her. Wow! Went back to hotel, group discussion, reflection and off to our room. Tired, slept.

Sunday
Woke up at the same time, washed up and had breakfast. Headed to Mekong Delta, 2hours trip there. Reached, a short boat ride to another island. It's a kampong area, bought the coconut candy. Walked, sat on this horse! :D Sat on the carriage that the horse was carrying. Haha, but the horse really very pityful ): I see the way the horse run and move, really hurt my heart. Just imagine if the horse was me, and carrying 4 to 5 people. ): Really felt very sad. Saw a lot of rooster! Lol, when you look the rooster from far, it look very nice. As you get closer, you will feel like running away. LOL. It look damn scary la! Especially the head, eyes! O: It make me feels like the rooster is gonna eat me up. LOL. Had honey tasting, i don't really like it, maybe not my type. 'Cause the honey is handmade honey by them, i think the bees? o.o! Had huge snake and bees photo-taking. Some went to take, some didn't. I didn't, and i hate bees, scary -.- Aftermath, went to have a short boat ride. About 4 people to a small boat. Headed to big boat and lunch at another island. Lunch is totally fabulous(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) No words can explain how nice i feel about this lunch! Totally delicious, but i don't like i'll have another chance to eat those food already. ): 2hours ride back to Ho Chi Minh City. Had coffee tasting, i don't like it, maybe 'cause it's bitter. But it's still bitter after i put sugar! Hahah. Bought items for the Orange Agent kids for donation and went for dinner at local restaurant. Nice chinese food but too much food in potion. Went back for group discussion, reflection and off to our room. Chatted awhile and went to bed.

Monday
Woke up at the same time, washed up and had breakfast. Had 1hour ride to Orange Agent center. Visited the kids that are affected by the American-Vietnam War. There's one girl which caught my attention, the small little girl on a wheel-chair. She's very cute yet she has fragile bones and very skinny. It really hurts my heart so much to see those children who has deformities and physically handicap. Some of them don't even know how to feed themselves. My heart really break so much. Went to CuChi tunnel after that. Visited those bombs, weapons, traps and crawled the tunnel that the Vietnamese hid. The tunnel is very small and dark, i really wonder how they live in there. Had a hard time crawling in there. Lol, i actuallied bend down to walk instead of squating and crawling :\ Headed back for late lunch and visited the post office. Lastly, Ben Thanh Market to shop! Very satisfied for the thing i bought :) Bought two clothes for my little cousins and myself. LOL! & bought a cap for Shihui :D The lady con 3$ from me for the clothes i bought! Damn pissed. Went back for group discussion, reflection and off to bed. Didn't had a good sleep ): Had one stupid nightmare. Lol.

Tuesday
Woke up 1hour earlier that is 6am. Washed up, brought our luggage down to the lobby and had breakfast. Went to Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP). Went to look around and the machines are very fast and cool! Then those workers there very slack, just need to wait for the machines to do everything. LOL. The box cover are very nice, as in the picture! :) The quality of the paper is very glossy kind. Headed back to Singapore, the plane food for tea-time (?) is very nice to eat! Hahah, finished it up all, including the bread! Hahah. Dad and Mum fetched me home :) Unpack everything, bathe, use lappy for awhile and went to bed :D

Didn't took much photos but i did took the picture of the horse!! :D Very cute, really! But i'm lazy to transfer to my lappy and upload it. Shall do it next time. Hahah.
Didn't you realised? I wasn't really happy with you all. I can't stand the thing when you PS me and ignore me. Please, i'm not invisible. How many times i asked you before you reply me huh? Since when did you realised you PS me? You didn't. I sat with you only 1 time in the bus. That was the first day. You don't really know how i felt that time. If only Shi came, i really wish Shi came. You really disappoint me, i tried not to bother, i tried not to think as it wasn't the first time. But i'm really losing control, i sometimes feel like saying it out. But i don't wanna destroy this friendship. I'm afraid to trust your words again.
I miss Vietnam, i think Vietnam is really a cool place! Especially the traffic! Hahah, totally scary. Really must close your eyes and walk. Lol. Nearly got knocked, nearly. I will really miss this 5days and 4nights (: I don't really wish to come back to Singapore initially. Hahah! I hope next year will have again, hahah. And i know it's a fat hope. Heheh.

P/S: The coconut candy taste like rabbit sweet to me! Except that it's chewy. Hahah!

P/S/S: Vietnamese students are pretty and handsome :) :) Really very friendly! :D
