Yay! Its national day and I'm one of the lucky people who have the chance to watch NDP with a very centralised seat!! *waves Singapore flag*
I love the The Black Knights segment the most! Esp Black Knights 5 and 6 =)
Its drizzling heavily. I love Singapore ok? Haha.
Parade! One of my favourite segment too!
THE BLACK KNIGHTS!!
Love is literally in the air!
FIREWORKS!
Special thanks to ongie for the "Invited Guests" tickets to NDP 08! =)
Side Note: Singapore got into finals for the table tennis female team! Wooo! Its another Olympics medal after 48 years! *waves Singapore flag again* haha
Not as fun as uc and I miss uc very muchhh! And theres this woman who scratched my face during the sentosa beach games! GRR.
Met up with primary school classmates, Jia Pei, Wei Sheng, Nickerson and Dickson! Been a year and a half since we last met. Nice catching up with dinner, last minute mahjong session and supper. And we realised we've forgotten to take any pictures! Haha.
Went to Excelsior Hotel for Dim Sum Buffet! The whole restaurant is so empty and Dim Sum was yummy! It was so yummy that we were so full and wenqian can't even bend down to tie her shoe lace! After that we went shopping at Marina Square, surprisingly, I bought nothing. =)
I want Dim Sum Buffet again! I think it will be a long time before we can go again cos school just started!
I am really amazed and impressed by the Cuchi tunnel and I even went in to experience it which I have to duck walk the whole time I'm in there. I wonder how those people in the past lived in there.
Dad coming out from the tunnel! There's also reunification palace where the north vietnam and south vietnam used to hold meetings and all in there. Its some sort like the korean war. Theres also the war museum where they pictured the sufferings of the people during the war. Its really depressing to see how people are being tortured and being disregarded as human during the war.
After which we went to watch water puppet which is well-known in vietnam. Its really interesting and beautiful. They are really good at controlling with the strings. Its much better than puppet shows.
Then its to Mekong River! The one same river I went to in Cambodia! Haha. Walked the trails, ate fruits, drank honey that tasted like longan, see the production of coconut sweets and took a horse ride and sampan boat ride. So kampong lifestyle. Haha.
Oh I've to mention, the Chinatown is so messy and crowded and scary. Cos people just push anyhow with all the heavy stuff that they're carrying. Haha. We also went to Ben Thanh Market the Beef pho and ice dessert is really nice although the level of hygiene is way below standard. Theres also this "cooking beef on roof tile" dish at one of the hawker.
Its a happy trip. How i wished theres just an extra day to walk around the central square and do some shopping!
The xing fu nu ren! HAHA
