Home Sweet Home...

Never in my life i felt so happy to be home...finally got back home yesterday night...and the airport was so tense as Louise Khoo was to arrive at almost the same time as i do....well, the last two days in Vietnam carries the most dramatic scene among the 5 days when we were there.....so, the 4th day....we had a 2 and a half hours drive to some place to see "Halong bay on land" .....well, that place is really sth like Halong Bay, the different is Halong Bay is in the middle on the sea whereas this time, the place is on land....we had a small exercise to see the oldest temple they have in Hanoi, went for lunch...and bump into a fellow camp mate...right.....the world is so small again....then we board onto a small boat which takes 2 ppl at a time....and we had one uncle and one aunty to help us to row the boat...of course, i helped....well, the scenery was really good....it was awesome!! it's a 2 hours ride....one hour to go in and one hour to come out...we pass 3 lubangs and finally reach into some place where some other ppl surround and ask us to buy things that we dun need.....wah!! like movie lerr...they surround us....luckily din rompak us....haha!! after good 20 minutes only they start to row the boat back....well, me and my sis got bored so we had some music played...and we play " Can I have this dance? " not bad wered...with the environment and love song...it's totally perfect....then, the aunty on the boat started to bring stuff out and "force" us to buy...siao wei....we told her we already bought it somewhere....but she still insist....finally, she gave up...and her facial expression is totally different compare when we first board the boat....she like pissed off....fine....that's not only that....when we have like another 800m before we reach the shore, she started saying "tip"....at first i thought what vietnam language she's talking bout...when she gave that money gesture, i only realise she was asking for tips....well, it's not like i won't give....cuz the tour guide told us that we had to give 20000 for each person....so we already prepare the money long before...actually we wanted to give more than the amount required which is 40000 to 60000....and she literally forcing us to give her money 800m away from the shore!!! who knows if we give d....she not happy with the amount she she ask us to swim back the shore...and when we din give it to her, she keep repeating "tip....tips...tip..." me and my sis were getting so bored of it until we dun care bout her...my sis even help to row faster....haha!! and my some aunty actually shouted across the river asking us to give 50000....i was like...OMGosh!! softer larr....so loud...until the aunty like..." faster....50000...." wat the....i almost go crazy k....never in my life ppl ask money from me till like that....before we got down the boat, i gave my sis 60000 to give it to the aunty....and since she was asking for 50000...when my sis took out the money to give it to her, she kept 10000....the aunty saw the other 10000, she tug my sis baju and demand for that extra 10000....my Gosh!! where got like that one....siao....i know they row till very tiring...but dun need like that kuar.....in the end, even before saying "thank u" , me and my sis quickly jump of the boat....my sis was so angry until before the boat stop, she step off and almost fell into the water....haha!!

Right after we got off the boat, we head straight back to the town....even my mym's boat also encounter the same situation...haha!! before the 4th day, if ppl ask me wat so interesting bout vietnam...i will say the "Honking" music and the dust particles floating in the air....but now...i will say this is the most interesting....well, on the way back...we were caught in the jam for almost 2 hours.....siao d....and we were listening to ABBA song....the CD pratically repeated for 3 times...and another CD was repeated for 2 times.....guess for now...i won't listen to ABBA for the moment...haha!!! had buffett in some restaurant, and went back to hotel...we went back to the hotel as early as possible because that night...Hanoi was hosting the final football match between Vietnam and Thailand....and Vietnam won....they were celebrating like crazy....whole night they have disco with some song that i dun understant at all....siao....luckily me and my sis were watching "At World's End" so our volume practically covered the volume of their music....

The last day...can't wait to go home...if we were to stay there any longer...i can go crazy....like my sis says...." if we stay here another few more days...when we go home...we need to go see psychiatric..." was so happy when we step out of the airport...had a nice dinner....obviously, not goreng to perfection....
