VIETNAM :)
IM BACK :)I really missed Singapore a lot during my stay in Vietnam. Okay, well, it was enjoyable for most parts, but the food arent really edible (for me, at least). Okay this long (diary) post will be quite boring.... Day one; We woke up at 4+ in the morning to get ready,got to the airport at 7 and my relatives were there already. it was really hard to get a cab, if you're wondering why we took so long.. :( hmmm the plane departed at 8 and we reached Hanoi (capital of Vietnam) at 11.55am according to Singapore's time. The local time was one hour faster so technically we reached at 10.55am :) the 3 hours plus flight was really quite hard to endure hahaha most of the time i was just trying to force myself to sleep! When we got there we were picked by the hotel staff using a mini van. The next 45 min was just zooming past the city and it was really quite eye-opening. The traffic there is really beyond what you can imagine, having lived in such a safe and clean city. motorcycles just zoom past everywhere. There are hardly any traffic lights, and even if there are, only the cars stop. The motorcycles dont. So anyway, we checked in in the afternoon and went for lunch at a 'Newton Food Centre"-lookalike hawker centre. There was a wide variety of food but seriously, THE FOOD ISNT REALLY EDIBLE. except for the french bread. and probably the fried chicken. (my brother told me fried chicken tastes the same everywhere) Okay so anyway, after the unpleasant lunch, we went back to the hotel and washed up and then went for dinner as well as a walk around the Ho Kiem lake. That's about it. After that, we waited for my other aunt and cousins who came by another flight :) ~~~~~~ Day 2; YES, the day everyone was looking forward to! After breakfast, we took a 3hour ride in a small minivan to Tuan Chau island where the ships are located! PARADISE CRUISE IS REALLY AWESOME :)))))))))) not the kind of 'virgo" or whatever cruiseships where there are karaoke lounges and swimming pools on the deck though. Nevertheless, it was the best cruise ship one can get to take in the Halong Bay. The halong Bay is kinda like a lake, or sth like that, so the ship cant really be THAT BIG right? :) (okay photos later... im lazy to describe) yup we had a great day going out in a smaller boat to explore limestone caves with stalactites and staglamites (bleh idk how to spell :P) and then here comes the fun part!!!!!!!!!!!!! my bro, cousin and I decided to go explore one part of the bay in a KAYAK. the adults went in a vietnamese boat. haha the kayak could only fit two people but the three of us went tgt and I sat in between them. It was fun originally...... then my cousin kept hitting the back of my head accidentally with his paddle........ so i tucked in my head while on the kayak telling them to go "left right left right left ri........" AND THEN. one moment the kayak was shaking like nobody's business in the middle of the lake (ocean or rather, lookalike) and then the next moment, I saw the kayak flipped to its side. i was like, oh shit, and then i knew it. BSSSSHHHHHHH. we fell into the COLD water. bleah. it was really very very very cold. The instant I came in contact with the water I regretted joining them to kayak. okay well, i have to admit that i was the one who suggested the idea of kayaking ._. anyway, my cousin, having gotten his one star kayak cert, could flip the kayak over. thank goodness he could if not we'd be in deep shit :( haha when we capsized his slippers floated to my face and when i caught it for him mine drifted away and my bro swam to help me retrieve it. lol i was busy clinging on to the side of the kayak. and then my cousin climbed in first, followed by my bro, and then me. sounds effortless right? but it isnt, and you'll know it if you've tried capsizing before in OBS. okay after that I gave up kayaking and went to join my family and relatives in the vietnamese boat. i was freezing then haha the dip in the water chilled me to the bones. k then we had dinner and the smoked salmon they offered was really,...... gross. haha. day3; climbed 450steps up to take photos. it wasnt a hike. it was seriously just a climb. 450 steps of steep rocky stairs.. how nice is it!!!!???!!! O; then we left the cruise in the mid-morning and begun the 3h ride back to hhanoi. BLAH.... shall cut short the boring stuff. hmm okay then at night we took the overnight 8h train to Sapa, a mountainous region in north Vietnam. (okay bleh shall continue typing another day im tired and lazy now) |

Havent blogged in a long long time. I just finished reading somebody's blog. Well, it just made me feel more insignificant than ever, just like I've lost a friend. Perhaps we were already very different to begin with; perhaps it was that we have lost touch over the years.. talking to her made me feel like talking to a complete stranger. it's so sad isnt it, to feel this way when that someone used to be your close confidant. well, i guess this is how people grow distant. the sense of awkwardness simply compells you to shy away from the person. i dont know what to do to salvage the situation. its probably because both of us have changed, greatly, and we dont understand each other anymore. it's probably because both of us are seeking for different things/ goals in life, and we no longer have common topics to talk about. it's probably because she has made friends who are more worthy and share more commmon experiences with, thateverything else in the background fades away. life is just like that isnt it. sometimes i just wish that i hadnt known her at all. maybe that would make it better. much much better. because to know that you've lost somebody who had once held a special place in your heart is heartbreaking; and that's it: another best friend gone. forever.
