i feel so estranged from the world these days.
no idea why.
i getting real lazy as day goes by (as can be seen i don't update my blog that often).
started embarking on holiday assignments..it make me realised how unprepared im for A's. i feel like some shit now. i need to drill all these concepts into my head before school reopens. how am i gonna do it?! The most unbelievable thing is im having a chemistry paper on the second day of school i guess, and i know nuts about it! till now, i have not lay my fingers on any chem notes yet. im panicking yet doing nothing about it. someone just slap me please.

distressing issues aside..

hongkong was definitely more than just eating and shopping.
the casino in macau was an eye-opener for me.
yes, i gambled and lost money. it was damn depressing. the more i wanna win, the more i lost. i gave up eventually least my parents go bankrupt. it wasn't that bad after all as i met my casino boy, he brightened up my lousy night. seriously, he did.
i can't help behaving like a small kid in Disneyland. although it was really small and the rides were limited, meeting mickey and friends was good enough for me. i love pooh!
the rest of the days were more or less spent on shopping and more shopping.
that's about it.
photos will be up soon.
off to bed now.
goodnight world.

somewhere we went wrong.

without realising, one week has already passed.
have been tied up by preparation for cheer farewell party.
it was a pity i couldn't make it to the party with the cheerleaders as i was away in Indonesia attending some boring gathering/dinner. It didn't matter as shopping has already compensated that.
I still can't kick this bad habit of mine: last minute packing.
just finished packing for tmr.
i will be away in HK till next weekend.
another round of shopping!& eating!
spring cleaning soon, otherwise the new batch of clothes wouldn't be able to fit in the wardrobe.
alrights, gotta sleep soon.
morning flight tomorrow.
till then,
tata.
goodnight <3

I'm back from Vietnam for almost a week and I must say this is really a meaningful trip which i will never forget in my life. I'll just let the pictures do the talking instead of making this post too wordy. I took a total of 630 pictures, but I'm not insane to upload them all. Those being posted are just highlights of the trip. Enjoy (:

Janelle and i figured that this should be part of the Mekong river.
Braided streams.meanders
this is the school that we went to salvage. the courtyard is always flooded
the drains are all clogged.
canteen.
a typical classroom. they happened to be learning Pythagoras theorem.
the students.

i thought that the first boy from the second column was cute
so i decided to take a close up of him. he is indeed cute.


most of the teachers wear their traditional costume to teach.
the goal post that we fixed for them.
this happened after lunch. zZZ
we were bored because everyone else is napping.
this is how we all looked after a day of hard work.
Our masterpiece.





the students there were really friendly. there was this girl who passed me a note when i was scrubbing the floor and it says 'Forget me not, my name is Hieu. You lovely, good day'. i felt so touched that i don't mind scrubbing the floor for them a thousand times.

The Orphanage
seriously, the kids are so naive and adorable. i don't understand how come their parents can just abandon them like that.

My baby.








she kept clinging onto me like a koala bear.







the people there are quite fascinated by cameras.








i think Vietnamese girls are hot.
that's Mr Wong behaving like one of us.


Cu Chi Tunnels











we were in this position throughout the entire route in the tunnel. it's really tiring and i suffered muscle ache due to that.




upon realising that actually all cameras have multiple effects, i've decided to try this for all my pictures.

Jon loves close-up shots.
that's Mr Yip





spot Janelle.




the girls.
that's melvin. i took it as i was really bored in the bus.
This is how Vietnam is like.

this is the nicest and cleanest shop that i have came across so far.


he is my gay partner. Kah kiat
th yogurt was really cool, good and tasty.
amanda: we're the craziest room-mates ever.
