LONG BUMPY BUS RIDE
that goes no where.

Just back from vietnam
an unforgetable trip.
This si the clique of mine for the vietnamese trip
not including some of the 3/1 boys

Whats the most memorable place?
For me, Agent orange center.
Agent orange is a chemical that america used in the vietnamese war against vietnamese
It is really sad cos it causes the later generation to get affected also.
The radiactivity all that.
It is really cruel of the americans to use this weapon, affecting innocent lives

Agent orange center take in children under 12 that are affected by agent orange, and also orphans and child that are abandoned.
This is a place that is supported solely by charity no other sponsors
Those children is either brain cannot funtion properly or do not have limbs like normal children.
I guess everyone who went thr have mixed feelings?
Being happy playing with the children but also wondering why it is this innocent childern that are suffering.
This children do not even have a chance to live a healthy live.

Going thr whats most satisfying is being able to see them smile and enjoying themselves
We bought some biscuits,rice, and some other basic neccesty over.
At the end of the whole trip everybody even take out money to donate.
It was quite a big amount , USD101 DONG1 300 000
I thk everybody was touch with the sight they see?

Ltr when you see the pictures,
ou would see the floor full of biscuit crumps.
This is all bcos they couldnt even eat properly, some of them you would even have to feed them
they dont have hand like ours, when we want to move to our right,then we can simpl move to our right
We being born with a healthy body and brain, we shld actl make full use of it.
Complain lesser , learnt to appreciate how bless you are.Live your live to the fullest
Full of crumps on the floor, agnes giving biscuit to one of the boy
This girl actl have what we called "glass bone" . We could not even hold her hand.And imagine she have to live her whole life on the wheel chair, how much she have suffered
Haha i actl ask him sit on my lap to take photo. He shift his butt closer and closer to me and when he want to get on my lap he actl have difficulties, i help him up and we took this photo.
My favourite photo at agent orange center.(:
Sitting in th middle of all the children, it was such a enjoyable time.
When we came, the place suddenly fill with so much laughter, does it come from agnes?!Lol haha.
I hope they were happy when we came
You see the boy with the twist, he actl like the camera alot.haha
when he see the camera he will always jump in for a picture.Cool huh
Twist everyone. (:
Another with the boy on my leg. The other just jumped onto my leg when he sees the camera.
Haha
"The biscuits are good!Bagus"

Okay this is the end, this is just A place we went, lots more to come, stay tune.

IMAGINING YOU AND ME

Okay today is the 16th alrdy,
it is vietnam 10.30pm, singapore 11.30pm
I am alone in the hotel now, my roommates have gone to another room
11pm here will be the lights off time, so i dont have much time to blog

My roommates, Filbert and Cheng Zhao
We are in a 3star hotel, i guess it is good enough for a school trip
We are here in vietnam, with many motorcycles around us whereever we go.
Crossing the road was almost a mission impossible for us.
There aint traffic lights for pedestrian to cross, but thr are zebra crossing.
Thr is zebra crossing but nobody follows it.
So we are basically jay walking everytime with motorcycles dashing across.
This trip have been tiring,interesting
We have to buy our own drinking water and put in the hotel.
Vietnam is not similar to singapore in any way,
their tap water cant be drink.
So whrever we go we only can purchase bottled or can drinks.

Let me teach you a new word.
'one' in vietnam - "moat'
'two' leh - "moat""moat"
Haha lol kidding


Lets sum up wht i have been doing here,
going to musuem, visit to handicapped centre , having dinner on cruise, sampan ride , horse ride, coffee tasting .
Yeah in the bus, something funny stupid happened
The road was bumpy in vietnam, we are taking a bus ride back from mekong.
Then thr was this hump, and i guess the bus go to fast,
so the ppl at the last row, their butts flew in the air.
And bcos i was sitting in the middle sit with no support infront i nearly fell off my sit.
So everybody shouted. And we got all the attention in the bus

A recent incident,
we just went for our dinner at a classy place,
thr was lots of red hair ppl thr so it shld be considered high class?
Argh who cares, back to topic
Thr was this waitress who serve our table
It is a table of ________ guys,
so yah you shld know what happened
We are pratically courting the waitress the whole dinner.

If you havent notice,
thr is wireless in the the hotel,cool right?
Although its 3star but it alrdy have all the thing we will need.
Kay it is past eleven, bye

"Moat mumdai loil bao niu?"
