Hello Saigon

It's been a while since the last time I blog. I'm just too lazy I guess but maybe when I start blogging again, I can be a part of the OLD me. Oh I miss the old me so much. I just don't know how to get it back.

Enough of that.

View of Saigon from the plane. Look at the river. Beautiful.

I've been here and there this year. One of it is VietNam. When people asked, how's VietNam? What's nice there? How's the food there? What? Where? When? How? Why? and the 5WH just can't stop reaching my ears.

Our room

VietNam is very popular of their history, especially the VietNam war in 1959 - 1975 *correct me if I'm wrong* and how the won the war.

So mostly people will visit the Củ Chi tunnel. A tunnel that we built just to escape from the Americans and they even lived in there. Eventho they were villagers, I guess they're more creative than an engineer. The tunnel is complete with ventilations. I think they're cool!

The petite tunnel. I stuck in there 

Ok, that is one of the tourist attraction.

Most of the lady go to VietNam just to shop. I can say the price there is better than Bandung especially when you're looking for cotton material. It's like crazy when you go to Bến Thành Market. You just don't know what to choose because you feel like you want all of it and you'll end up buying more than you have budgeted. LoL.

Let's go to Bến Thành Market

Some of it

Just don't know which one to choose

Other than that, the readymade baju kurung is so cheap. You can get RM 55 a pair with full beading. Usually they sell back the baju kurung in Malaysia at a very high price. I once found the baju kurung same like mine cost about RM 300. Krazy!

Bye Bye Saigon. Till me meet again.

Surfers Paradise

I've promised my fav buddy for blog posts since I'm such a lazy bum to complete writing the post. I swear I have few incomplete posts in my draft and I had no intention to complete that. *slap me!*

As everyone knew I went to Gold Coast for vacation with my family. But dad wasn't been able to follow us. He was busy and he was on probation and until now he still is. SO just have to say good bye to dada!

So we flew to GC and cramped our arses in the plane for 8 hours. The flight wasn't pleasant. Up down, shaking here and there. OK turbulence. And I can say it's quite bad coz mom slept all the way to GC.

We reached GC International airport in the morning and started our Day 1 in GC.

The transfer send us to the hotel and we were as free as bird. Then only we made plan where to go.

The view from our room on 33rd floor

My hotel situated at Surfers Paradise Boulevard. Next door is Centro Surfers Paradise and they have Woolworths and nice shops and Hard Rock Cafe. The beach is only 3 minutes walk from the hotel.

We were tired when we arrived there. So we decided to jalan2 along the street. The have shops like Cotton On, Valley Girl,MNG, Billabong and also the DFS Galleria. *close eyes* Remember jalan2!

The first visit was to a Haunted House. It's the biggest 5 floors haunted house. I think it's not very scary but it's very interesting.

Electric chair

After that, we visited the beach. OMG! I'm in love with... the hot guys oh NO, the beach! The beach is very beautiful. the waves, the sun, oh it made me fall in love.

I LOVE THE BEACH

Day 2 was awesome. We went to Warner Bros Movie World. The rides : Superman Escape, Lethal Weapon, Batman, Wild Wild West are uber cool! Do you know that superman escape accelerates from 0 - 100km/h in 2 seconds? Wowwie right. And if you said Batman is just the same as Solero Shot, you're wrong. It went up and down so fast.

Superman Escape

My blue monsters

Antique car

We spent the whole day there.

We love to play on the beach

Day 3 was amusement park again. We went to Dream World. The park is bigger than Movie World but I think I enjoyed Movie World more than Dream World. But somehow, the ride, Tower of Terror II are awesome. The ride move reverse in very high speed up the tower and went down again. Mom said when the ride's take off, it sounds like the flight to take off.

Tower of Terror II

Mom loved this ride

Face paint $5 each

Day 4: we didn't go anywhere but we went for a ride in Aquaduck. Aquaduck is a bus that travels on the road and water. We went for cruise along the river which have all the luxury houses by the side.
