DAY 6 .
Monday, January 12, 2009
Srry ah , my cam the thingie a bit spoiled so i no mor photos =( . Yahlah , so juz a short reflection bah . Day six should be the orphanage one... yea. I could remember it so clearly because i remembered that Mrs Wong said on the bus,"The main point of this trip is CIP so we would like to have more time at the orphanage." Or smth along that line. Not that I got any objections or what. haha. At the orphanage i must say i really spent a great time there. Initially i thought it would be so dull and boring.. like,"sian orphanage ah. aiyo." but my thoughts changed when i played with the children, one child even climbed out of the... bed-secured-cage-thing-bed, then ran towards me and banged me from behind. o_O. then he fell down. aiyo. but very funny also, the part where he knocked into me. woooo i like. then i played with the children at the play-room..idk what that is called so srry. they play with me until i very happy. i make balloon also until very happy. didnt see children laugh till so happy for a longlong time le. the only thing i hated is the friggin mosquitos that bit me. THREE / FOUR BITES SOMEMORE. maybe five. around there la. IRRITATING MOSQUITOS. like that time when i JUST entered the Cu Chi Tunnel, not even iside, i just entered that area... A MOSQUITO FLEW ONTO MY ARM AND TRIED TO BITE ME . heng i see and MASSACRED it in time. i feel happy. it had blood inside. human blood o_O. yea overall it was very fun. then somewhere around that day we went to the day bazaar. oh ya. the air in vietnam is beyond godlike that day. hahaha. i feel that we should be given more time, + given a better place to do our shopping. nothing much to buy... k then we went to the airport. the sandwiches were a bit weird but okay. then the flight home... i rly miss vietnam xD. i played Pokemon Gold on the plane. hehheh......... -KokShin Day 5
Thursday, January 1, 2009 the day started on a low note as some of our friends had to stay in the hotel to rest as they were not feeling well nevertheless, the rest of us went ahead as planned to the Mekong Region we had to endure a 2 hours bus ride, and also a short boat trip to the destination  a view from the boat our destination - Mekong Regionwe got the chance to taste their fresh tropical fruits, and also some local snacks   honey tea and some preserved fruits brave dave!we also sat on the "sam pan" back to the jetty from deep in the island the river was filled with dirty water, filled with mud beneath  a "sam pan" stuck in the waterswe had lunch at the Trung Luong restaurant, where we were served with 2 special dishes we've never come across in Singapore they are the elephant-ear fish, and also sticky rice ball  elephant-ear fish From this big to ... this small...after lunch, we went to the war historical museum, where we learnt about the war era in vietnam  entrace of the war historical museumwe saw the harsh conditions in which they lived in, but which they managed to cope with in this museum, we were also treated to a water puppet show it was rumoured to be a form of entertainment for the emperor in the past i do not really understand the performance as it was all in vietnamese what i saw were only fishermen and water creatures swimming around in the water but these puppets were actually controlled by puppeteers underwater  sea creatures plaing hide-and-seek fishermen on a boat the puppeteers! Next, we travelled to the handicap centre to visit them they were busy with their own handicrafts despite their disabilities, they are still able to work, which is truly commendable And lastly for the day, we ate our dinner in a restaurant named "Red House (Singapore)" it is said to be the only Singapore restaurant in Vietnam some of us thought that we were in for a treat, with crabs and other seafood however, they were not served instead, some well-known Singapore dishes were served, like fried rice, sambal "kang kong", etc we even packed food back to the hotel for the sick students we dragged our tired bodies back to the hotel for a debrief, and also a final preparation for our "item" at the orphanage in conclusion, Day 5 was the day where it was fun-filled with programes i learnt many new things and it was an eye opener for some of the programmes i really enjoyed myself that day |
