lol random post from sandy beach resort, danang, vietnam! ok la, im just randomly having the urge to blog cos of my forced-cut-short post before i left sg on mon due to oversleeping >.< hope that i wont get too fed up trying to type on this keyboard which i'm not exactly very familiar with.. now that i'm more free, i think it should be good that i do more updating of my blog. it seriously needs a new face le, just that i'm ultra lazy to go find a new blogskin lol. anyway, the first 2 days here at danang have been not too bad. the resort's pretty cosy, we got upgraded to adjoining bungalows close to the sea, so have nice cooling sea breezes, food's quite alright, and having a 11hr long full day tour awaiting tml haha. went to danang city han market today, quite typical of any market, with first floor fresh and dried produce, and the second floor with shoes bags clothes and all the whatnot. interesting slice of life in vietnam la, i would say. too bad i didnt bring my camera, but hope my siblings and my dad did capture some images of the place though. seldom get to see the rows and rows of flower and fruit stalls. bought some jambu and dragonfruits. big and really sweet! haha. apart from the freakout incident when the first jambu my bro bit into, he inspected a worm slowly climbing out of the fruit. what's worse, he showed it to me, which caused me a phobia of every bite of jambu i ate after that >.< afternoon went to hoi an ancient town, didnt really get to see much la haha, went to tailor make formal pants to prep for work next year though. not cheap leh here, but probably because we went to a rather renowned shop. it had like 2 storeys and loads of sales assistants and stuff. the variety of cloth just for men (which are all in shades of black, navy, grey, brown) is astounding enough le, wait till u head over to the women's side where they offer cloth to make vietnamese traditional dresses. it's o-m-g. lol. after that took SUPER long before we found some decent restaurant to have our late lunch cum early dinner. mum, bro and sis had pho (not too bad haha), i had cao lau (some dried noodle thingy), dad had some chinese rice.
louis vuitton handbags shared vietnamese fried spring rolls (those transparent rice paper wrapping kind) and shrimp on sugarcane. quite an interesting variety of rather authentic vietnamese food la haha, i would say. now im just waiting to try the vietnamese style sub! saw a couple of stalls, but when i really wanted to go buy and try out after the meal, all just suddenly vanish into thin air >.< what a disappointment. i hope i get to try it before we leave loh! and vietnamese coffee, loads of ppl telling me it's gd. well, see fate lol, see if i get to try these 2 things out over here.. looking forward to tml's day tour. though i think it'll be rather tiring loh, leaving here at 8am and coming back abt 11 hrs later. omigosh. prob need to turn in early tonight lol. hmm that's all i have for today i think, shall go fb a bit then better get off liao. im advised to use the comp for a max of 30min but im prob going to hog it like for 2 hrs lol. but aiya, no one using anyway, all making use of the free wi-fi here, which i'm like soooooo envious of ppl with laptops or PHONES THAT CAN ACCESS INTERNET right now. this is so motivating me to get my 7-11 bought 98 buck non-camera ns army phone out of the way and introduce something iphoney or blackberry-y. but sigh, the fact is i dont have it, so i'll have to make do with hogging the lobby computers for 2 hrs at one go lol. no privacy lehhhh. while my bro and sis can so totally lie on their beds in the aircon bungalow >.< enjoying eh. okok no use getting envious. my time will come =D
