POWER RANGERS SWINE FORCE!! (named by YANA-that's a good name!) LOL.and this is Yun Xin's Favourite photo. =) we're the coolest right!!

So, I shld start. got on SQ,wich is like my favourite airline,HAHA, was overjoyed. First day was boring,Consist of lots of City tour. this is what i saw on the bus on the actual first day.


StreetSellers. They are EVERYWHERE. Not to mention the traffic too. the traffic there, i declare, SUCKS LIKE SHIT. firstly, motorcycles are EVERYWHERE.every corner,every small gap u squeeze in u can see a motorcycle.there is so much until it seems like a motorcycle is an average vietnamese's most prized posession. SO, back to the Street sellers. THEY ARE so persistent. they can do anything to get what they want.MONEY. We were in the bus when i took these Pics,and these three Vietnamese came up to the bus when it halted to a stop to persuade us to buy. the auntie is actually telling me to buy her three cowboy hat for 50 000 dongs. i pity them, but i couldn't buy them.teachers won't allow. next was the girl. she wanted to sell postcards,but then again,we can't. &&& the uncle, OMG, he was chasing the bus when the bus made a turn at a congested place full of motorcycles. Selling what?? u see for ure self. the third picture.

Move Along, to actually another streetseller. A Flower Girl. She met me at the Vietnam Notre Dame Cathedral, AND MY She was following me everywhere.seriously. Too bad i did not listen to Kenny,not to make eye contact. but i did. and she persuaded me like mad. i rejected her like GAdzillion times but she still perservered in making me buy her flowers and chewing gum. i ran in all directions away from her she still followed. i got sick and jumped into different cliques to loose her. BUT it became worst. when i got close to Isabel, she accused me of some thing That it may go like this!

Flower girl: buy flower..flower can?
me: NO!!! [and i shunned]
Flower girl: please very cheap. {she grabbed my hand}
ME: i shrugged and ran near to isabel, evangeline and Yun Xin.
Flower Girl: AYE buy! buy flower for ure girlfriend! [pointing to isabel]
Me: :O NO! she not my girlfriend!!
Flower girl : yes u walk with her!
ME: NO! {aside} seriously man....
Flower girl: then u buy for her! [she pointed to Evangeline]
Evangeline: shunned with ;O face
Everybody: ~Laughed~
ME: [running away] No, that's even worse! NOOOO!
flower girl: no you no buy flower for ure girlfriend ure girl friend will sad! she will cry.
Me: i no girlfriend LAH! she is not my girlfriend!
Kenny Our Guide: ok lets move on to the next building.

LOL. i lost her in the post office building. XD

she looked like this.

Its that little girl. not yun xin ( with the DSLR slinged on her.) its that girl with FLOWERS!!!
She got Yun Xin to buy a flower on the second day, when we were going there to take a picture or pass by there for A Cyclo Ride. i dunno.
BUT--------- see this, i bought it in the end. :(
this is me and her, after me buying it.Yun Xin was teasing the her that i'm her Boyfriend(it starts to get lame) and that explains her face -u can actually see her saying no halfway. wanna know why i bought it? this picture was taken when i was about to go on a Cyclo ride ( a ride in a trishaw around Vietnam Ho Chi minh.)U SEE? She's EVERYWHERE!!! i actually dunno that she was behind, it was a guy who took this pic not me myself (DUH)
and i abandoned her before the cyclo ride. she couldn't follow me mah around HCMC.
BUT then when i got back, after like, 2 hrs of ride or more, SHE WAS STILL THERE!!! like waiting for me. I slapped my forehead and couldn't take it.coz she accused me of having a girlfriend again. so, i bought it for 20 000 dongs. -.-

SHE never appeared again after that.

After this went to this rice making thing,
SAW THIS REEALLY funny words inprinted on a lighter sold in a shop:
Words, that seriously,don't make sense at all. XD i was cracking up like nuts. XD
Then,got to the Cu Chi tunnel. i don't want to write anything academical here so as to not make this post boring. LOL, i bet ure getting bored,:X
THis is a pic of me getting out of a dugged out Tunnel 3m underground and 30m long by the Vietnam soldiers of 1974. cool right!!!

This is a picture of everybody i took inspired by Martin the river sparrow When we were heading to an old weoponry firing range.so nice right!!!

Well, Cu Chi Tunnel was a bore after a while, We spent lots of time in the bus,retarding LOL! and yunxin camwhoring,Evangeline always caught sleeping with her mouth open wide.hope it caught a fly( YUNXIN, if u are reading this, i think u get what i mean.that fly.XD)

ANOTHER TING THAT SHOOK ME BIG TIME IN VIETNAM:

The Orphanage. Go Vap Orphanage. i went inside,with a 3 years + doctor set in my hand thinking that what children are we gonna see.the tour guide,Kim, described the children to an extent that i actually felt hesitant to meet them. but, i did. i went with the flow, and went into something like a conference room. at first i was already expecting kids oreadi, but no there wasn't. it was a speech by the superior caretaker there,and she said that that day was birthdays of 8 orphans. a big cake was set and the eight orphans came in. they were happy, and looked happy. we didn't eat the cake though,and went off to meet the deformed and ill with genetic disorder infants.i was still holding on to the thing, deciding who to prize it to.as we went into the infant-care room, the infants were all deformed. the first baby i see was a baby that has emnormous toungue that couldn't fit in his mouth so it stuck out,with saliva dripping all over.i was omg. he will be so cute and normal if not for just that thing. then we headed around, i didn't actually notice smell,(the teachers said that we were good coz we didn't react to the smell) of Vomit induced by the infants.i knew it. they just can't control the flow. i was so sad for them. i actually got that heavy sinking feeling whe i actually saw each and every one of those poor things.i actually could breakdown if i was a girl, but i couldn't. some infants are tied up to their beds coz they can get fits anytime. some had really big heads that they could not move a muscle. it was so miserable to be there. the feeling was so bad that i masked it over by thinking positive and a smile. i waved at some,but they just stare, the look of pain in their eyes.Then we visited the second group, those with down syndrome, but could move abt. i played with some and some came to snatch my doctor set, but i felt that it was just not rigght to giv them.they will either destroy it by snatching against each other or choke themselves with it.

Then we got to meet the third group.the group that was fitter, but nowhere better in conditions. When i got into the room, a girl probably at the height till my mid thighs, came towards me and a few energetic boys too. the all eyed on the Doc set and pushed the girl behind. i tot that was bullying as the girl was shoved to the back.i rejected the boys and went for the girl. i said hello, she pointed at the doctor set. i smiled and gave it to her.we ripped the packaging apart and played with it. she did not answer me when i asked her some things. thats when suspicion sets in,This is her, Chiao( pronounced like that) and her Full name, Pin Chiao.

i suspected she was autistic. coz she was drop dead cute, (to me maybe) i don't think she has a disorder. but, she reacted to her friends. so i tot she was death and asked lots of people abt her.nope, she wasn't - she reacted to her nurses call when her nursed called her. Then i was confused. i sat her on my lap as sheplayed with my doctor set i gave her. i asked the nurse. She told me the details. i was Shocked. SHE CANNOT TOK> She's mute. i looked at her she stared back with curious eyes. i hugged her. and then played with her friends ball together. When it was abt time to go off, i think she can sense that,coz she suddenly broke from my solace and went to the playing ground to join in.But, sadly nobody played with her.she was all alone. i sat there waiting for her. she came back to me for god knows what reason, but two boys was blocking her from getting to me. she got a little cross, and actually wanted to breakdown. And - she groaned.like a small innocent,sweet groan with a little discomfort as she squeezed through the tangled legs of the boys. She looked helpless, so i spread my arms to recieved her. she came and hugged me. i felt like a father or something man, i dunno, lol, it was like happiness that couldn't be described. When i went off, she broke her attention and played with her doctor set i gave her. Pin Chiao and ME.

I hope she rmbs me, and if i got a chance to go back to vietnam again, i will visit that same Orphanage again. And probably Pin Chiao, All grown up. =) I would buy a better thing then, than a dumb Doctor set.. X( but i think and also hope someone will adopt her.she shld live a better life.

To all those in Go Vap Orphanage, My Heart goes out to all of YOU.
Other Days, Starts to get boring, LOL lots of bus rides, i don't wanna write abt all,But i'm goanna tok abt the highlights,

ON THE Fourth DAY: went on the Mekong river Cruise. Mekong river, the most popular river in Vietnam. Ate the most softest coconut meat in my life. it was nice on a boat, eating it.

Then went to some shops to eat. bought Honey, and it was my first time i had the courage to touch a bunch of poisonous BEES:

I LOOK like a beekeeper ain't? LOL.

Other THAN that, the last day was boring,just a little tour around the presidential palace.the flight food was worst than the arrival flight here, and i got home wishing i could relive the moments in vietnam again.

WOW. it was so great.if next time when i get another chance to travel with groups of friends,I'll Definitely 100% join. Anything.For everything.

Here are just a few of pictures i took, pics of me and my friends that i usually go with in Viet.The Mafia Gang, With YANA featured as Godfather. LOL ! thats a good Pose!

Calvin and me, the one that is quiet but lots of things are going on in his mind while he is, till an extent that he will burst out into laughter 5 mins after my joke.

Me and Yun Xin, The high ones sometimes, when there's sugar rush & members of the PRSF...XD

Martin the Journalist and sometimes loves to Bullshit, ME, Isabel and Evan.
