Hanoi day 2

Day 2 should deserve a title of it own cause there are so many checklist in a day. The most promient is the task to test the SNAKE! Yes i had finally accomplished snake challenge. We met up during lunch at my hotel and set off to a deserted location quite far away in seeking of the legendary snake meat. And that shop is popular in hanoi. We were presented 3 option ranging from 1mil or 1.2mil or 1.7mil for the king cobra. We chose the 1mil $60 sgd equivelent.



Preparing snake is a long list but i guess i can wrap up by post a video. Which helps to speak a thousand words.


Before the snake parts are out in dishes you got 3 items out. The beating heart, red blood and green bile which surprising is a very nice green looking liquid. 

All in all i can't really taste anything thru all the snake disk except the snake fillet ginger fried. The snake meat is tender but not too grewy and it tast better than it looks. 


The mid day is hanging out with sandy and her husband at a cafe just beside the duck rides. 



At night i took tracy motor and ride her to the famous lake. It takes a lot of courage being pillion behind me. Somemore the vietnam crazy jam and traffic. Moreover tracy front brake was not respondsive. Tip riding inn vietnam is you gonna be decisive. Make your intention clear, the rest is up to the experienced rider out there to give way to u. Ignore traffic light, ignore traffic direction. Just follow what the front rider is doing. I am impressed with myself doing things so out of the box. 


I praying for coconut worm. The restruant called and told us that the worm had arrived. We went down and i got to try out the exotic live coconut worms. 


The komodo dragon is not for feast. Display but is a live pet. 




The coconut looks hard to swallow and for a hardcore exotic food eater. I do face some problem stuff the wriggling worm inside my mouth. My first try i got too gentle with it and it bite my mouth when it is on my tongue. I split out the whole muthufucker. I attempt to bite off the head first but the body is so chewy i can't split it apart. Plus the body liquid just spirt out like a bad ass. After seperating the head from its body. It still wriggle there for 1 hour. 



We finish at 11:45pm and they have to ride back on the empty street 1 hour away back home. Poor things. 



Hanoi day 1

Just touch down airport and i am angry with myself for not checking in luggage caused me delay and additional cost to post my item back to singapore. My expensive facial form and the 5 toothpaste gonna be quick post back to home. 

It is the 3rd time i go oversea alone and expect some people just turn up at airport to fetch me. And this time like previous 2 time. I moment i exit arrival somebody is here welcoming me. So lucky. 


Tracy still have to work so sandy was tasked to accompany me for day 1. I headed to hotel then exchange some money and off to get my duck egg first. Followed by the rooftop to have a tea break. 



Hotel i booked thaison and i do not really like the place even it has a rating of 83 on agoda. Bathtub too small and cramp. Lobby kinda smell funny. The sliver lining is that the staff speak english and extremely funny and friendly. Got a free upgrade to superior room. 




Street food is good and tasty if you can reqlly overlook all the cleaniness issue. I think they are better than thai. Maybe personal preference. 



Rushed thru 3 place of interest. First we went visit the first university of hanoi and i am surprise to find that the teaching was in chinese. A lot of pretty syt at the uni taking graduation shot. Second place is the famous lake at the center of hanoi which was rumoured that a sword was taken from the emperor by a turtle to the sea dragon lord within the lake. A lot of couple taking wedding ahot near the lake. 







Dinner for pho cuon and stop over at a random themed cafe and then head to the famous night market similar to bugis street. My impression of night market had further detoriate due to repretation and imitation of stuff. Absolutely nothing to buy at all night market. 


Pho cuon is popular in hanoi. Hcm had their version in rice paper. Both are nice in their own ways. 



Unlike HCM where u can party late. Hanoi is very strict with crefew and all stire closes latest by 11pm. Police will be on patrol. 

Wheat a nice restaurant at raffle place

After 2 tier 3 run. I am at my bottleneck. Comm scheme had changed to stirred some sentimental within dso. All ntb runner including me was at a loss. Had not been working much for the past 2 weeks. Lost my momentum. I am planning a getaway to rest my mind. Compliance leave and boss agreed to let me go for 7 days.




I love this picture taken with my z3 compact. Actually it is really a very wonderful phone. It took low light shot perfectly.




Smor is a Swedish start up serving food out of passion. The boss say life is not all about earning money.




She suppose to bring me go try the salad at ion but we sort of change to raffle place as i would like to bring her to try "wheat" a healthier and taster choice. I say all food wasn't cooked. I misrepresented. It was pre cooked.




Thanks clp for posting for my camera effect. Z3 compact had a function to defocus background. Can i spot the difference between the 2 photos?

Her red hair just got more red. She remind me now of fire phoenix jean grey from marvel. A class 5 mutant. Strongest character among marvel hero.

Changed comm scheme

This quarter is good job. I hit comm on the 6th and hit tier 3 on 10th of Sept. One of the better performing months. This month ended with 100 Ntb 290k, 450cc approval and 70% credit shield. I had gun down 2 quarter with tier 3 and I had been loving the money. With these rates, project income per quarter will be 35k and annual can hit 140k. This is where I want to be. Where I am going to head towards.

Unfortunately at the best time they decided to fuck up the comm schemes. They had made changes to requirements for hitting tier. No longer base on 200ntb per quarter but 18000credit per quarter. Another words you have to comm in 6k every month without considering credit shield. The impact is yet to be seen but that will impact greatly on the way I carry my sales. I thought I wun wun eat beehoon Liao.




Just like these image taken with z3 compact. I am as blur as the photo.

I want a jesery


I want to buy the 皇家马德联那 shirt. Foot ball jesery. Who want to buy for me as birthday present? 


Booth today is just empty at kallang wave. No mood to fight for all the dso. Just spend time mingle with each other talk about comm, mis, numbers, dso to politics like terrorist talk and cnn news on the isis. -_-''


Yesterday iphone 6 lunches at paragon but i still can't get any pre order so even if with money i still don't get to buy my iphone 6...


Its a selfie with my new hair style. Short and neat.

Meltzzz x 100

Clp after 2 years

Now my one week is six day work week, 12 hours per day looking for new to bank customer and credit cards number. 1 off day per week still have to look for loan. This week is lucky. Got to close a 176k plus 85k, got a slim chance to hit 300k this month with 100ntb. Due to lacking of cards number, manage ask me to sell 4 + 1 hence my shield comm should be relatively higher. So looking forward to this month good result. 

The weight is on my shoulder. Manage asked me to run for cf. No reason to reject as it mean better booth and benefit. But pressure also cause me to outbreak rashes. 


After like 2 year after we broke off, surprisely we still hang out as good friends. Many things changes. Attitude to life, mentality and mindset, well we saw so many differences since last time we known each other. 


We do what we normally used to do. And that is to eat. We both love eating so much. 


Heehee. See any difference 2 years later?


Bing bing abacus gold ring ($600) down another unlockable item!


Burberry spec ($460). Down another collectable. 


Rolex sky dweller is so awsome. When will i have the money to acquire this beauty? The effect of wearing this gem is unmatched. Very striking indeed. 

I recently took up prutential saving plan. Lock down 25 years. Withdrawn max 75% after 2 years. And get back $3.6k every year for oversea funding. One stone 2 birds. Good plan. 

My flexi plan is a monthly $500 saving account locked 25 years earning a compounded interest of 68k after 25 years!

Or you can choose to withdraw $3600 per year maximum for oversea expenditure leaving $1400 in saving account that earns u interest of 28k after 25years. Seem interesting. Signed with amelia whom i met 4 years ago. Got a free gift in return of my choose. Opened item! Yeah. I got birthday gift this year liao :)

Try batman and love it

Everyone is getting a rolex. Its a good investment as the watch can really hold values well. If you are lucky you can sell it off at a premiere or appreciated value :)

Furthermore. It is an investment that you can wear and enjoy. Like what i always smoke my customer. "Don't ask me why yes, ask me why not!!!" Okie i know i am talking crap but my customer buy it. Dunno why? I think there is a kind of attitude to selling. An aura and mojo if you like to call that. 



Everyone is laughing at me for over priced daytona but they do not know what i had up my sleeve. Literally. 

Daytona secondary function serve as split timer for seconds recording. They were designed for car racer. I find it reletively useless for my lifestyle. GMT 2 secondary function is a dual time zone made specially for pilot at least it is of some function to me when i travel oversea. 

We had the benefit to try out all sort of rolex before buying because there are too many collegue having rolex watches already. 


GMT 2 half gold is very striking. It is really very nice too bad gold don't look good on me. Thanks axel for the shot. 


Jonathon fong had GMT 2 batman day and night. I love how the blue matches my polo t. However i do not know if it is nice wearing corporate white shirts. 


I do not like the green hulk submariner which is water resistance designed for diver. Useless function again. I am gonna give batman a try. Primiere watch retail at 12.5k at hourglass. 2k above recomended retail. Thank jun kai for the green hulk shot. 


Classic, date just with diamonds on jubilee chain is nice too. Thanks gary phua for sharing. 

Boss want me to run for champion forum. This quarter i am on track for tier 3. I think already hit at 2nd month. Gonna buck up on loan. 9 months no joke. But running mean more comm and more money. Mean can get batman sooner :)
