Took train to Hai Phong

Today we are on our way to explore Hai Phong. 2 hours by train ride from Hanoi. Train ticket cost us 115k dong / person. Jackie looks for excited like a baby with grapes and green mango on train. Surprisingly that the train is air conditioned with power plug and toilet at each cabin. We are assigned cabin 14 and we had to walk quite a bit to our seat.




What is fun is the climbing up the train like immigrant like this. The train ride was not very fast and I believe is around 50km/hr. That why it will takes us 2 hours to reach Hai Phong which also take 2 hours if you are riding motorbike.


Tracy was kind enough to lend us her bike for free. Due to the bike is without insurance paper and mirror so it was not advisable for us to ride to Hai Phone on motorbike. We will have to temporary park our bike at MaI Bima Leathercraft shop while we are away for these week.


Yesterday night we brought Sandy and her 3 daughter to Hanoi to enjoy chicken feet. Jackie was damn enjoying the chicken wing as she say that the chicken is full of favour as it was breed on the top of the mountain somewhere in the north Vietnam. You can come here as we highly recommend it.

Night cyling and CLP bday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!



Been waiting for so long, you are finally 18. Well you are legal already.... to do a lot of things :) Like drinking, clubbing and of course taking your class 2b license. Woke up late today due to extreme wear and tear from night cycling. I never have been so mental drained. Went out at night to west mall to eat Thai Bali. Sucks, not nice one. Dinner was paid by CLP $60 plus!!

After dinner, I super full and bloated, wonder around west mall and saw a big big open space theater. Like Ge Tai like that but playing movie instead. So we decided to join the hundreds of uncle and auntie sit down there watch free "IP Man". Very unique experience and so sweet sitting beside your darling. Wahaha. TMR still got startek, will go and watch if I still got the strength after IPPT test.

Okie, let's talk about Night Cycling 2009

Image taken and uploaded by Ethan, our friendly photographer cum driver cum first aider cum MaMa Tiam uncle. Many thanks..

Me and Yong Sheng go help out BE do lorry driver. We like driving the whole day from 2pm to the next day 8am. Super tired.

CLP was my V-comm for the night, duty is to keep me accompany and not die of boredom. We just talk cock and play with N82, ipod all the way.


Yong Sheng took the above picture with his 2.0mp camera on his Iphone. Edited with in build application (photoshop) and end product was impressive.

While we sit around killing time, took some more pictures.

Best Zichar at Commonwealth crescent

So tired. Instant drop dead on my bed as soon as I got home yesterday. Fatigue. Woke up around 12am. Watched Paranormal Activity which I downloaded on Funshion. I set up a conducive ambient, switches off lights and put on earpiece on my 21" inch LCD, hoping to get chilly as comprised my the thriller. They claimed to be the scariest movie in 2009, with the petty budget of 11,000 dollar. However, it failed to impress. Other than feeling nausea, it jolly well wasted my 90 minutes of my busy schedule.

My window 7 conflicted with most of my program, including explorer and funshion. My lappy is as good as a piece of 1.9kg metal, that I spent most of the time hitting Alt Ctrl Del. I hate the (not responing) error.

Lilian asked for coffee session today and I rejected her. Such a good friend yet I can't really find time for her. This semester is crazy. Assignment pile sky high and me getting impossible to concentrate.

Brighter notes, I meet up with Elis they all, to try the Singapore best Zichar at commonwealth crescent. The butter pork rib is luscious. The cheezy butter power on top is heavenly, goes well with rice and even better on the pork rib itself. However I find some other highlight a little over rated. Drunk Cockles specially were over priced. But on the whole, cheap. $58 for 6 dishes for 5 person. Each paid around $12.

Elis insisted us to take photo with a Polaroid camera in front of the signboard and in front of the full housed crowd. Very embarrassing. I was surprise that the film cost $3 each and amazed she consider this obsolete technology as a passion. While majority races with technology and upgrade for digital camera as can can take unlimited number of shot, some minority will find it not appealing to join the major. They chooses to be unique and revise old and obsolete technology. Clearly, my line between unique and useless are drawn very clearly. Polaroid camera faced out for a reason. Expensive, inefficient, slow and bulky. What's so fascinating of carrying a Polaroid camera? Does it looks cool? I think I need to charge up my ercisson 388 :)

Sentosa Trip

I was rather pissed about some blog mocking us about our club's efficient. Okie. I give you benefit of doubt. Before I got any solid evidence, I going to spare them my vulgarity. Nevertheless, I already start hating them. I will by all mean bitch and bad mouth about this fucking club that mocked us. Since you all had started the fire.

Don't be complacent about your current position. You think you had done so well yourself that you can start commenting about other ppl. You don't know the situation so please don't act like a smart ass and start saying things that will mislead ppl of our image.

I will not go on more about this until I know the whole picture of the story.
I shall post some of the happening during my 2 week break.
I very appreciate Simon for his 'efficient' in sending me this picture. I expected that he will send it to me on a later date :p


Okie.. K boxed with the 'sister' 2 day back and enjoyed ourself till very later lah.I had my K lunch.

Followed by arcade and beer session at a coffee shop.

Today

Went to Sentosa for our bonding and pre pre pre recce. Believe it or not, this is actually the 2nd time I went to Sentosa.

Benson aka Bakali showing off his well built chest.

I like this picture the most.

Well, I don't really feel like writing anymore. I got an I and E event tmr and I am super tired now. I gonna stop here.

mix and splash com meeting

First day of holiday I thought I could concentrate on my Cabal. Turn out to have a so called "urgent" meeting. Basically telling me that M&S camp is going to postphone. And the rest of the time all of us just chatting away ghost story and 'tele-tuby'.

Felicia laughed away when I mis-pronoun a word. I was trying to say "I tried my best to..." but in the end I say "I tried my breast to..." okie lah. blame myself for not having enough practice speaking English. So paiseh..

I took a picture outside society club house. Nice ~

After meeting, some of us went to Botak Jones to eat supper. I ordered lame chop. Ya, cost a bomb man. $12.50 for the tiny winy lamb with excess fries. I want to eat bigger portion of lamb instead of fries lah. And almost 40% of the lamb is fatty meat. Threw them away. Wasted.

We da bao and eat under the void deck. Sibei casual loh. But interesting lah.

Later we ordered some beer. Simon is training to pour the beer without the foam. He took like forever to pour it to half way mark. Haha

Heineken. My favorite.

My butterfly effect

After one year in NP. Today is my first time I speak in front of a LT. Lol... par par sia~ but okie lah.. not so much of a butterfly in my stomach. Anway I joined Toastmaster Club as a CCA. Basically its a speaking club where they train and increase self-confident for public speaking. I am looking forward for their first meeting and so on.

Its always good to face our own weakness and tackle it in a positive manner. Though I am a slow learner but at least I am hardworking and persistence. The tutle will win the race one day right.

So today Div 2 meeting so fun. A lot of them turned up as compare to Div 1. I am not complacent here okie. Just feel awesome so many manage to turn up. I seriously think that we are the soul and heart. Whether they turn up for the next one, more or less depended on how interesting we make the meeting to be. Wah, talk like a pro sia :)

Very rush for this sem. 2 major event coming up for me. My I&E event and society Mix and Splash. I voted for this dame gorgeous T shirt lah. Designed by guo an (president)

I had a strong interest about this topic "butterfly effect". I do not know how to describe that but for those who know what it mean right, ya.. I am very into this topic. Something about cause and effect. Like if you never broad this bus, what are the effect and future of you compare to the effect and future of you which had boarded it. Maybe the more I explain the more confusing you are. Anyway.. today I watched "butterfly effect" for the 6th time. OMFG. I basically can recite the whole narration of this superb show lah.

Definitely a 10 thumb up for it..
"A gripping, supernatural thriller that taps into the turbulent nature of past, present and future. When a young man learns he can change the nature of his painful life by replacing his memories, he accidentally transforms the lives of everyone he holds most dear - with chilling consequences.

As his new existence spirals dangerously out of control, he races to discover the single event from his past that will save his life and reunite him with his one true love."
