ytd was quite a mad rush.. met my lab partner in the morning and went back hall to complete the report, before coming out to hand it in.. lucky samson was nice enough to ask if i wanted him to dabao lunch for me, if not i was actually planning to go without lunch.. dad came to fetch me at 3+, i went home and immediately went to wash my clothes.. was really quite tired by then, since i slpt at 4 the previous night and woke up at 9.. anyway i got a shock when i saw the amt of stuff we were bringing back to m'sia.. though we do bring alot of stuff back each yr.. but this time it was like.. ultimate.. abt 15 bags i tink.. full of toys, veggie, chocs, cans and wad-nots.. our luggage only one bag lohz.. doink.. anyway while we were walking to the car (after loading evthg of coz), dad passed me the car keys and told me i'd drive to the customs.. i seriously didnt expect that lahz.. i got a shock loh.. and mebbe due to the shock, i did another shocking thing later.. sian diao..
while reversing out of the carpark lot, i crashed into the van parked behind.. best.. my 1st time i crash sia.. hopefully the last.. mum was freaking out, she told me to drive away.. but both dad and i saw that the driver was there lah.. doink.. drive wad drive.. dad went down to talk to him.. lucky i didnt crash into his car, actually banged into his license plate.. damn lucky sia.. duno wad's wrong with me.. argh.. lucky our car also nthg happen..
anyway, it started to jam like.. at clementi.. doink.. coz it was peak hr! i was having a hard time driving.. unlike driving manual cars, my right foot started to feel tired.. coz i was pressing on the brake like.. all the time.. and i can't take my foot off it! if not the car will start to move.. doink.. dad told me to go a diff route, but still jam.. we all damn sian diao.. i had a hard time moving out frm the side road to upp bukit timah.. not to mention it poured before and the roads were damn slippery.. and i never drove that route before.. *faints* we took like.. 40min to get to bukit timah.. crazy.. once on the expressway it was better.. though still alot of cars.. it took me abt an hr to get to customs.. was tired.. haha.. but happy to changeover with dad.. bleah.. long dist driving is not for me.. or mebbe i nv had enough slp lahz.. dad was real tired though.. he took more rests than before, and even had a nap.. he never took naps last time when we drove back.. i was slping most of the time anyway, and by the time we were back at my grandmother's place, it was a whooping.. 3am.. the whole house was awake, waiting for us.. oh man..
today i woke up pretty late.. it was noisy around the house, but im not bothered at all.. just had a really nice lunch.. always miss the duck my grandmother cooks.. its the best.. took some photos too.. the cat my cousin owns gave birth to kittens! haha.. but my cam batts died on me.. bleah..

ytd was quite an eye-opening experience.. didnt do much.. just had dinner on a cruise kinda thing.. wad really shocked us was the traffic condition.. survival tip no. 1 in ho chi minh city: dun cross the major roads, esp roundabts.. its crazy.. u think thailand and china are bad? think again.. when we saw how the hoards of motorcycles, cars and buses cross each other's paths, we were scared even though we were on the bus.. it was that bad.. they didnt care if its red light; they just drive when they see no vehicle in front of them.. anyhow change lane.. they honk like mad too.. scary..

was quite an experience today.. went into some forest and later underground to the tunnels that the soldiers built when they were at war with america.. seriously the hole is so small any decent sized american wouldnt be able to get in.. we went thru abt 100m of the tunnel and all nearly died.. me too coz i was in the absolutely wrong attire.. and trying hard not to dirty my clothes and bag, of coz i couldnt go down on all fours like i did during obs.. i was moving forward while squatting down all the time, coz any other position i adopt will see me banging my head, unless i lie on my belly.. doink.. so my thighs ached like no one's business after that.. there was a pt when we had to jump down too.. its so dark inside, if the person in front doesnt tell u there's a sharp drop, u will just fall and drop down.. its abt.. 1.2m? so it'll be disastrous if u fall.. anyway we were all damn sweaty after walking this 100m.. haha.. duh.. we had tapioca to eat after that.. nice! haha.. coz we were all hungry..
now we're at a hotel by the sea.. will go down to the seaside later.. yeah^^

last night after dinner we did go down for a walk along the beach.. it was really nice and breezy.. no lights.. so can see loads of stars.. v nice.. was going mad over the stars.. haha.. we walked quite a long way off.. got tired so we sat by a roadside stall selling coffee... they haf a lot of this kinda stalls.. those selling coffee will haf these tiny tables and chairs by the road, and the ppl will sit there facing the roads, drinking coffee and chatting.. haha.. so that's wad we did.. sat on the chairs which look like they're meant for kindergarten kids.. dad ordered a cup of black coffee.. mum and i didnt order anything but still had hot tea served to us.. there's a metal filter with a lid on top of a cup inside a bowl of hot water.. have to wait for the coffee to drip down before drinking.. dad couldn't appreciate the coffee, but mum and i loved it.. its really rich and aromatic, no milk, no sugar, yet its not v bitter! damn nice.. dad doesnt know how to appreciate black coffee lah haha..

the rest of the days.. nthg much.. climbed a hill though... had a huge statue of Jesus on top.. v nice.. nice view frm the top too.. sweated again.. bleah.. den whenever we got into any departmental store, i would go to the perfume section to look at the labels and smell the fragrance.. the labels all wrote parfum only.. doink.. its all pr2202's fault lahz.. haha..

ok nthg much liaoz.. hope everyone had a nice cny! hehe
