Gosh im dead tired and its 12.40 now. I just worked 12 hours per day, two times in a row. Im on noon shift tomorrow, so i could afford to stay up late today to update ! About my eye opening trip to Halong bay, vietnam.
Early morning, like say 7.30 we left for KLIA. The whole line of people are our group of people going on the same trip organised by Holiday Villa.
I dont go to the airport often, so yeah even the slightest of things i would take pictures of. =D
When we reached vietnam, my dad was surprised that the airport was not as bad as we thought it would be. But we havent seen vietnam just yet. The flight took 3 hours 20 mins.
It was freezing cold outside ! Like an air con when the wind blows. Below 18 deg celcius !
On the wasy to the hotel, We noticed that vietnam houses were built such a way that they had many storeys. It's said that the number of floors the house has is how rich a person is. But you dont see them carrying louis vuitton bags around.
Just when we taught we could sit back, relax till we reach the hotel, we were wrong. Because of the typhoon that hit vietnam not too long ago, the state of the roads there werent good. Instead of driving on the left side of the lane like we do here, their's were on the right side. But somehow drivers AND motorcyclist there dont get the picture, they drive as they want. The sound most frequently heard there are car horns. The lady in the picture is the chairman of holidaty villa subang which organised theis whole thing. In vietnam, it is not the drivers that look out for perdestrians, instead it's the other way round.
Half way, we stopped by some souvenir shop called ABC. (weird name)
Everywhere you go in vietnam, left of right, you're bound to see cows, and cows scream, beef noodle !! The first beef noodle we had at ABC was such a let down. The one we had back at subang was way nicer, but of course, beef noodles in malaysia are all adulterated to suit malaysian taste.
In ABC, there were people handmaking arts & crafts.
Finally, we reached the hotel at about 8pm. Did i mention that vietnam is an hour before us? Anyhoo, we thought the banner was suppose to be inviting us, but instead they're for some other korean batch tourists. But hey, they said we were the first malaysian group to stay at this hotel. Oh, and the hotel is also another holiday villa branch.
Why this hotel? Well, MISS UNIVERSE 2008 was held at this very hotel.
Candidates of miss universe 2008.
The back of the hotel, with a pool that no one would swim in cause of the freaking cold weather.
Night passes, morning rises.
My room is way up hill, which gives us the advantage of a fantastic scenic environment !
All i wanted was is to drive the buggie car. =(
Mommy and i !!
My family knows how to camwhore kan?
The hotel is really chines-y look but its breath taking sceneries are.................breath taking.
The view from my room.
Did i mention they had a beach?
The small - but - big - enough - for - me toilet.
If you ever get to vietnam, or any where else in fact, you gotta live like the citizens there, and what better place to go than the market?
There are 2 markets, the wet and dry one. The dry one sells anything you want, but mainly daily needs like clothes etc. This can be bargained to rock bottom, i bought a beanie for melvin and a belt for allen. Not just any belt, ARMANI AXCHANGE. why? cause it matches his cologne. BTW, RM1 = 5300 DONG. But they use american currency there too.
The vietnam kids are real camera lovers, mainly because they dont really get to be taken pictures of. But even the simplest things they can be happy over. Sometimes malaysian kids tend to forget that.
We also took time to visit the fish farm, where i can find fishes as big as my arm ! There are also a few dogs there, and a cat. The farm is practically floating right in the middle of the sea. Wonder how those dogs survive there.
The main part of this trip was to visit halong bay. And halong bay was titled one of the 10 heritage sites in the world. Halong bay has god knows how many islands,which actually just look like rocks like the ones behind of me.
i found the guy working on the boat soooo cute. He's short, (again) but he reminds me of the typical chinese basketball guys except he's hot and not skinny tall kind. If i could speak vietnamese, i would tell him," YOU WANNA COME HOME WITH ME? " i could even teach him to play ball just to fit in =D
cute kids on the cruise
Think weve got it hard? these people struggle to make a living everyday by just selling fruits. But they're not even selling it on land !
Top of the cruise boat.
Told you they were rocks !!
Mommy and daddy
Nothing fresher than seafood on the boat right?
Just out of nowhere when we were eating this girl or boy ( i dont know ) popped in my window asking for money, of course i didnt understand the language, but why else would he climb through my window right?
Next national geographic front page !
The total hours of the cruise were 7 hours. We practically took 2 hours just reaching land. Sleep time !
Night time after dinner we went to see a dolphin show, worth the watch, the dolphin's even smarter than me !! 
Seal !!!
Family and auntie Zen
POSERS !!!
with love, Wan family !
Kids in vietnam can play in street markets without game boys and play stations. They're only toys are each other.
We gotta learn from them =)
before i forget !
there was this HOT , and i mean HOT air steward on the flight back home, so i asked him if i could take his picture. After i took it, he gave me his number!!! i think he doesnt know im 16. XD
He's malay, and he said, " you stay in subang only right? give me a call when you want to get together or something "
if i were 21 baby, i wouldnt leave you hanging like that, trust me
Tạm biệt (goodbye)
