Day: November 21, 2010

  • Reality Sunday!

    Managed to wake up early for karaoke with cousins today. And spend somemore unnecessary money in the flea market =_=" *urgh* Declared bankrupt!

    Came home and thought I could rest awhile then went to transfer picciess from Serene, but ended up Serene did not call me and I need to help my cousins on their Europe - Britain trip itinerary.

    Had a quick shower and went off to meet Ying Wei for dinner, catching up, and also movie!!~ 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1' is AWESOME!!~ well, I'm bias in this sense. So watch it for yourself and decide. ^_^

    Tomorrow is the first day back to work. I hope I don't screw up anything. *sigh* more picciess on Vietnam will be up soon after I get them from Serene!

    Buenas noches!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

  • Vietnam Day 4

    Time to pack and leave HCMC! It's so fast. I really had a good time here. However, due to some issue and unforseen circumstances, I miss out sightseeing to Notre Dame Cathedral and otherssssss!!~ *booohoooo* Ooooh well, maybe there's some other time I might have a chance to revisit HCMC again. Who knows? ^^

    Today is about shopping in Behn Thant Market. Nothing much to shop also. Or maybe I'm just not in the mood..............

      Babe's shopping bag....

    Vietnam food for lunch.......

    all the shopping bags.....

    So tiring!!~ Then we were discussing about ZoukOut. Should I go?!? I'm so tempted to go, but I'm so broke...... Hahahaha! I'm so contradicting.

    That's all for this trip...... Till next year.....

    Reached home around 10ish 11pm. Talked to my cousins and aunt about what happened in Vietnam. Chit-chat-ed with my cousins until I fell asleep. Hahahaha! We're going karaoke on Sunday! *yey* Off to bed now!

    Luv,
    *rachelle*

  • Vietnam Day 3

    Woke up right on time! *yey* I guess I have my minimum sleep eventhough it's at 4.30am. Hehehehe! Breakfast and then Mekong Delta for the whole day. ^^

    yes, all cash!

    right outside out hotel....

    the view from above....
    the market place....

      Vietnam serves the best coffee ever!

      Babe with hangover....


    the building in the middle of the field are the graveyard.... people in vietnam prefer to keep their love ones nearer to them...

    boat rideeeeee!!

    yes, this!

      mini green apple....

    decor purposes....


    relaxing on the hammock after a 5 minutes of cycle...i think less than that, coz i can't stand the motorbiker keeps honking us....

    boat ride...

    Just love to play around with lomo style

    Babe had a massive hangover....

    Beeeeeeeee!!~


    ~row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream~

    Mekong Delta was an experience. I just realise Vietnamese have snakes as pet instead of normal dogs and cats. *hmmmmm* Maybe for them is normal. Hahahaha!

    Reached back Saigon around 8pm. Went for dinner and going back hotel for shower and rest before meeting Dennis for drinking session. ^^  The waitresses there are so friendly.....

      Dinner time....

      Drinking time.....

    I joined Dennis alone as the rest had their own plan. Real time blog : it's now 3am and I'm so smashed up, I puked and I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time I puked. 1 guy, 1 gurl, 1 bottle of black label! Sicko!

  • Vietnam Day 2

    Lateeeee!!~ Feel so bad that the whole bus to Cu Chi Tunnel is waiting for us. *yawn* I'm stonning @_@

       
    Breakfast at the hotel.....

    The tour guide is talking about the condition and history of Cu Chi Tunnel. We're gonna crawl inside the tunnel!!~ (while I'm stonning) How freaking long have I not commando crawl?!? *urghhhh* There goes my elbow and knee. Ooooh no! Should I say there goes my tshirt, jeans and shoe! Ooooh well, my first and last time, just an experience. *yawn* I think I'll just sleep for the 2 hours there.

    It's so embarassing! I'm the only one who sleeps like when the tour guide is talking. Hahahaha! When we reached Cu Chi Tunnel, we were given a video to watch. It's about the history of Cu Chi, the war and whatsoever. It's quite interesting, but my concentration doesn't last long until I feel sleepy again. Hahahaha! =P

    Ok! I'm all sweaty and yucky after I walk like.......... Less than 500m I guess. Hahahaha! Claustrophobic! My perception on Vietnamese - tahan lasak! They are really creative in creating traps and all. *wow* I'm really amazed. Ben, a newly met Singaporean guy in the tour to Cu Chi Tunnel, and Hao decided to try on shooting. Ben had an AK gun while Hao tried on MK16. Serene and I?? ICE CREAM!!!!~ while listening to the noisy gun shot sound. =_="

      Traps.....

      A guy actually manage to get inside the hole

      from USA

    *sweaty & yucky*

    more trapssss.... different kinda traps

    After the tiring Cu Chi Tunnel, we had a more relaxing tour at the War Remnant Museum. It's so sad to read and see the pictures of all the war Vietnam had been through to get their independent. How they were tortured and killed, even after they got their independent, the side effect is still there. How sad is dat......

    Lunch first before visiting the museum...

     

     

      We paid to get in but actually no one check!

      Emo portrait...

      Bombs

      Bullets

    Then, we're back to hotel for a nice shower and wait for Mark's arrival. Skipped dinner as I overslept again but more drinking! ^^ *weeeeee* Danny is so cuteeeeee!!~ Can't wait for him to come over to Malaysia on December. ^^

    Oooooh yeaaaaa..I can't believe I actually danced with the gay couple. Hahahahaha! It's like total random-nessssssss!!~


    The guys..... Mark - Hao - Niko (from Greece)

    The gurl.... Serene & *moi*

    Hao is somewat there already...

    GO....

      GOING.....

      GONE....

    Reached hotel around 4ish. Gonna sleep already as the next day is another early day to Mekong Delta. ^_^

    Luv,

  • Vietnam Day 1

    I actually remembered all this in my blackberry as I don't have roaming nor internet access =_=" Well, I'm blogging through my cellphone now. Copy paste from what I write to this entry, so the alignment might be out.

    Here it goes, Hao's brother send us to KLIA to board the flight to HCM. When reached there, after checking our all Arrived at HCM around 4ish. Hotel sent a pick up for us and we reached hotel for a rest.

    Serene babe & *moi* waiting for departure

    Hao & *moi*

    In the plane waiting for take off

    Reached the airport which i find it kinda quiet

    Top selling products....Hats and helmets...

    Walking to the place we stay

    Reached!


    Isn't as bad as we thought a backpackers place would be. Highly recommended!

     

     
    The view from our balcony....

    Typical us, we can't wait for the awesome-ness we went out to search for food, but to our despair. All is written in vietnamese language that we don't understand. And worst of all it's raining and we're carrying umbrella. Everyone stares at us blankly like we did a criminal offense or something. But we finally found out that it's really against the law to carry umbrella especially when you're riding a bike, but it's ok for pedestrian. However, they are use to wearing a raincoat so it is still weird for people to carry umbrella =_="

    We can't find any local food that we can read in english or maybe chinese, so we ended up having burger in Lotteria =_=" lame I know, but I really don't dare to order food I can't even read! I'm not sure is it a local fast food or something, but it does taste good ^^

    Our first meal cost 324,000 Dong... LOL!

    After dinner, it's the search of bars and clubs. We decided to go Apocalypse Now Bar, and people said it's pretty near, as in walking distance. So, we walked around for like, I can't remember how many hours. The, we decided to take the cab. Hahahaha!

    Go 2 Bar, we're gonna visit the next day when Mark arrived

     
    We visited The Opera House, but it's closed. So, we only take a couple of picciess outside.

    Q Bar..... Another bar we're gonna visit the next day ^_^

     

     
    Walked pass a Chinese restaurant with cool funky Octoberfest huge glass!!~

      And finally, went back to the club.....

     
    Before and After!!

    The club is awesome!!~ not to mention the waiter, Danny is cute. And I met a sweet American guy, whom should I say partially Irish!!!~ *weeeeee* Mei Ping is so gonna like him. Hahahaha! And he speaks a little Spanish! *yey* However, no picciess as it is with Hao and god knows when will he pass it to me..... =___="

    After all the dance and booze, we went to look for more booze in 24-hours-mart. But we can't seems to find, so we just sit by the park and have a long chat. (Total random-ness). Hao already went back to hotel with a GURL!!~ Bahahahahaha! We're so happy for him.

     

    Okies, it's already 5.30am. Time to sleep as tomorrow will be a super early day. *yawn* Sweet dreamz, peepz!

    Luv,
