Regards from Vietnam!

It's been a long time since my last post. Reason : I'm in Vietnam. I din't have my lappy with me. So i only survive with whatever internet's available.
I've been to Hanoi, with the craziest traffic i've ever seen, Halong Bay, greatest wonder of the world, Sapa, it's just great. Then I stayed back in Hanoi for few more days. Met lots of new friends. Totally unexpected. My journey continues to Hue, nice town, hot weather, bad luck ( lost a bike, ended up paying 1mil ), relaxed a little in Danang, now hanging out in Hoi An, an ancient city, lots of tourist, have a little feel of malacca just without the traffic. Still a long way to go. Will try to post more updates where ever possible. Next up is Nha Trang and Saigon.

That's it for now...

I'm out!

Ahh.. Finally I'm out of this boring place for few hours. Momo's back in campus. So we went out for dinner in butterworth and movie in Jusco. It felt so good being able to get away from work and campus even for a while. Well Momo's leaving soon, so I guess next time there wouldn't be much chance like this. Or maybe yesterday night will be the last hang out, at least with him. I guess he found other things much more attractive and things are much better elsewhere. Wish him luck.
Anyway, went Chai Leng park for dinner then went over Jusco for Terminator. I guess I'm among the last few ppl to watch the show. Can't help it. Living in a remote area. Hehe. The movie's great but i think Star Trek is much better.

A little to complaint, I'm not sure if it's TGV cinema or technical prob. The show's suppose to start at 10.45pm but we waited for like 10 min pass time but still no sign of anything. Not even advertisement on the screen. So ppl were like complaining till almost 11 then finally things got started. Back almost 130am.
Bedtime..

The most perfect gift of all...

Here I am on this sat afternoon of a public holiday lazing around, enjoying the rain which have been missing in action for a while. A little backdated post which i should have posted a little earlier. It's my birthday! Hehe. i was back 2 weeks ago to celebrate my birthday. Counted down in the bus. It started of with a little bad luck as my bus sort of broke down on the way back. Delayed a little but manage to get it moving again and got me safely back home at about 730am.

I think the bus overheated

There i was in the middle of the PLUS Highway

There I am back at Malacca Sentral. Happy to see Mr Sunshine.

Spend a day at home and went out for dinner with family. I think that is one of the greatest things of all. Celebrating birthday with family members once a while is just great. I know it's great to celebrate it with a bunch of crazy friends in crazy ways, but somehow this is also great. So we went to have steamboat at Q Best SteamBoat Seafood Restorant. It's a pretty new shop somewhere near Kota Laksamana. Since it's new so it's pretty clean and everything looks decent. It's not all you can eat style. They count by per head orders and any extra add on. They use electric steamboat pots instead of the typical gas. It tends to heat up faster

The menu

Here comes the food ( look at those noodle like fish paste )


More food


Something to keep my stomach full


And a nice cup of sourplum juice



Everybody get movin' I'm starving


Waiting for it to boil


"Look at my fish paste noodles"


"I think i found something"


Ah.. Finally .. food

After dinner we headed back home. They bought a cake on their way home. Although I'm quite stuffed but till can fit a little. Hehe.
And.... ta da...

my little cake...


Sweet 14.. LoL I mean 24.. I tot I could fool everyone..


Forced to cam..SMILE


Here's one with the family.. What else could be a better present than spending my birthday with my loved ones. ^_^

Persuading and Convincing Sucks!

Here i am again. Been lazing for a while. Actually not really. Just busy with other stuffs. Work in the lab still continues. Been working up late for several days. Then the guys from Perodua stopped by last Friday to check on our progress and the works going on. Then had some discussion and QnA. I left a little early for work (parttime).

We threw everything out of the car and we mean everything. Poor car.

He looks bad.

Been working part time last weekend as Digi Promoter in Carrefour. Money is just not enough. Persuading and convincing ppl is just not my type of job. I thought it wouldn't be that hard but somehow I was proven wrong. I failed badly. Should i just stop doing that and just stand there for 8 hours instead doing nothing. Hmm.. maybe not. I might try take up the challenge again some other time. I must do better in near future. Somehow I think those skills is rather important nowadays and you just can't learn it from books. You have to try and fail and try till you succeed. Anyway, still manage to survive that 3 days. Haven't been working for a while made me so tired everyday after work. Wonder how did I survived last time from 9am when i step out of house and back at midnight. Any words or idea to success in this? Hehe.

Back again in campus after 3 days of hardwork. Did some work here and there in the lab. On the other hand, i was busy planning on my Vietnam trip. Yippie. I'm so looking forward to it. Still working on it with Teodore and some confirmations needs to be done and Vietnam Here I Come!!! It's just 2 weeks away. Wonder if I'll get to blog during my trip. Hopefully I can get to update it throughout the wholetrip when I have the time..
