Fuck you gary. Please wake up ur idea

Aftevietnam trip, back to work life. This is the last quarter for the year. However if were to consider champion forum then it is the second last quarter. I had a good chance of going but will have to focus really hard. 



Shit. I missed my tab 3 challenge by 1 card. Fuck. I am so close to taking home the visa challenge. Fuck duck. 

For this quarter they took away sop but need to hit 50cc a week to avoid going back office 8:30am everyday. The comm scheme is stupid and the corp card is a joke. 


Need to take selfie as proof working at the booth. After all the ntb fighter went sleeping due to the comm scheme. I felt one by one is waking up the fucking idea. I start feeling the pressure which is good as i need them to run for CF. it is a japan expenses all paid trip. Please gary. Wake up your fucking idea. It is a hard to come by chance to visit japan for free. You fucking duck. You are so close and why you always like to give up half way. You had a very good chance. Fuck u gary. 


I am playing game during office hour where people are doing 10ntb that day. I can't keep on doing this anymore. I had promised to work hard for work after vietnam. Please keep up my own promise to myself. 

Hanoi day 6

Good things do come to an end and i had my fair share of entertainment. Winter breaks in and i had to be back to topical singapore to focus back where i had left. 

Overall, this is one of the best trip i had since a ling lonn time because of the carefreeness of this non agenda trip. No designation no goals. Jusr follow our heart and travel where our heart wanna go. What is bring back from this trip is good things doesn't need to be luxurious. Every little happiness is hidden around you. Most importantly is that you are with the people you love. 

Live in the moment like walter mitty which i watched on silkair. Daydreamers should take actions cause life is about courage and going into the unknown. 

Many things were left unsay and undone. Make me regret not watching walter mitty before the trip to inspire me to live in for the moment. 


Had to really thanks sandy for being such a sweet darling taking care of me like a little baby. Don't let me forget the "easy dai kuan", the handyplus, the money management, the itinerary, peeling of pomelo and all sort all sort. 

Thanks tracy for pointing out to me things that comes easy goes as easy. The hug at the airport is priceless. Never wanna let you go. 



Wish i could have taken a longer leave. 


Dunno when have the chance to get together, 3 of us...

Hanoi day 5


Today is a long day, so much to talk about. I think this could be one of the most memorable day, though not in a good way. 


We took 2 motorbike and when into motorcross mode. Jungle and off road bashing. 


The terrain is a no joke. We had to climb slope with gradient and bash into jungle. Basically we are all over the place searching our point of interest. I did not know if all this effort is worth it for the trouble. 


We had to stop over to ask local direction and everytime we ride pass the local, they will stare and take photograph at the 2 urban ladies in party outfit. They are just too out of place here. They were rare sight for the local. The island seriously had a more men over women population. 


Journey up to the cliff and the road is not kind to us. Lots of humps and holes made me impress with vietnamese that there are no place a motorbike can't take you to. Give them a bike, they can give you a world. 



The view on top of the cliff is astonishing. Breath-taking i mean literally. My heart skid a beat when they run up the cliff as it is so close to the edge they could fall down to the cliff. I just felt nauseous as tye strong wind blew our us. The legs are jelly as we are really walking too close to the edge. I think i am having acropohbia.  


Trust me when i say that the photo can't do the scenary justification. The view was simplity stunning. You need to skill and courage to take any better shots. 




These are some shots that tooks us a long time to take according to sandy's requirement. Everytime they change position i just feels nauseous. They are sitting on the edge of cliff. Women can risk anything just to retain their beauty even if it is just split seconds. These photo justify the hypothesis. 


For me i just prefer a selfie don't need to be breath taking beauty shot for retaining my beauty. God bless me that with none to begin with. 


This shot is call 天涯海角


Topo the map for our next destination. But before that, let me take a selfie. 


I avoid taking on the cliff as it is too dangerous. The beach looks more gnetle. Well can post for a shot. 


This is a fucking work of a sand bubbling crab. It has tonnes of them on the beach covering hacters of land. This crabs are disgusting. I feel naesous looking at them. If you are the same with me you are suffering from trypophobia. Fear for pattern. Now the beach doesn't sound that safe anymore. 


Heading back to base back to hanoi. Took boat then cab then bus back to hanoi. The bus driver conned us up and then refuse to bring us to the destinated location. And they drive so fast and horn non stop and sway around and against the traffic. I am so scared. Today i had the guts of mine almost came out for this non stop excitement. 


We had to be drop off on a highway and walk back by foot. Assholes. 

The 2 kind soul still brought me to have my dog meat as promised although they try to avoid eating dog meat. Thanks 





Exchange rate is $1 16,600 dong. Hence 370,000 dong is around $23sgd. This feast is able to feed 5 pax. So dog meat is quite cheap in vietnam. Its had a strong after taste like mutton. It is a love or hate realtionship. I am the latter. 

Hanoi day 4

Today suppose to visit some place then go back to hanoi but the man who provide wrong information to the boat location and timing screw us up big time. We woke up at 6am but supposing to catch the 7am boat to iceland but we was taken to the wrong harbour which will not be operational till 2pm. Screw up. We had to take a 2 hour bus ride to another harbour. 



Halong was surprisingly a more colorful and vibrant city compared to hanoi. Took some really nice picture. 


This is a crop from a paranoma shot. I just love this shot. So many things and tell so many stories like that. Okie la. I a bit overthink things. Around 12 noon we take off in one of the boat to iceland. 

Okie. Now i realise i am not going to iceland. But goingn to an island. I see. 


That is a sky view taken outside our new hotel. The hotel are newly built and all facilities are working nice and renovation done up. 



In this island which is restricted to foreigner. I was told not to speak a single words to the local. Something like shutter island. When some local speak to me i just ignore them. Sandy explain that i am a viet named minh. her brother and i am mute with some mental problem. Ask them not to speak to me. Lol. 


We rent 2 motorbike and ride our way through the jungle to the mini harbour. It is like going thru an island to another smaller island. There were told to be stone look alike again. 


The boat stop over at an island. With only 3 of us. Not counting the driver. We started to cam whore. 




All the stone we took resemble some kind of animal. For you to excerise ur imgination. 



For the sun is setting. The sky gets really dark after 6pm


Head back to hotel to get our seafood dinner then head back to base to rest. 

Hanoi day 3

Day 3 woke up at 6am and prepare to go halong bay which will be 4 hours drive away from hanoi. Recommended by the locals and clp so its on my top list although its expensive. 





The bus trip took so long we watched huo yuan jia and god of gambler 2 movies and i listen music and sleep so many times in the bus. 




Inside the cave is just some artifical lightning and i don't really know how to apreciate the nature wonder. 



Thanks sandy for being the tour guide and ask me to randomly crash into other tour group to heard what they say. End up i crashed into a japanese group. 


On the boat they brought us around the ocean to see some stones that the local said represent something. Just like the one printed on vietnam dong. The actual stone the actual spot where they took the picture for the notes. I don't find it fantinating to me. 


The stone above is said to be a man and women kissing. Well you need to use a little imagination here. Well they say our imagination is limitless. 



Me and tracy tried kakaying to some hidden spot like you need to pass thru some hole to reach them. We found the zao cai mao in one os the holes. 


Can you see the "cat" with its tail??


The setting sun is nice but only near evening. 夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏。



At night they promise to bring me seafood because we skid lunch on the boat because it is just simply too much. Too expensive. 1kg fish is 750,000 dong. The 2 kg fish cost us around $100 sgd. crazy. 


Its too late we had to lodge at halong. Went shop some nation for tomorrow. They stuff my bag full of combat nation like as if we were refugee.
