(followed by all the nonsensical poses Mat can think of. Why did we all listen to him?)
Lobby of the guest house. Apparently, we're the first occupants to be staying over!
The guest house is very inaccessible; surrounded by lakes (where
ppl go dating!), lots of trees and of course, countless
lembus.
We were very much isolated.
Our room! Pretty decent huh? but
omg the bedsheets...thank god for
victoria's secret!
Our welcome dinner, such romantic ambiance..Pity we could only eat fish, soup and bread.
National costume on 2nd day! Since we have no idea what Singapore's national costume is, little miss Huiyan wore THE kebaya...complete with gorgeous heels.
At night, we travelled to a professor's house for a lecture on traditional Vietnamese musical instrument. Yes, his house, complete with projector screen. The man is 88 years old, mind you. We had lots of fun singing along, though we couldn't understand a single word..heh
Day 3 was the dance workshop day! They taught us the cup dance..and by the end of the day, we broke 3 cups altogether..not bad! We had a very good teacher!
Once again, in the afternoon we travelled to the city, this time to catch the water-puppet show. It is soooo cute! Imagine puppets going fishing and little puppet boys playing in the water kampong style, flipping up and down!
By the time we reach the guest house it was still early and because of the unstrategic location, we were stuck there. Fortunately, they came up with something fun to do! Bamboo dance!
On day 4 we finally get to go on the Mekong Delta tour. First up, boat ride y'all!
Cg is holding ice-cream! We craved for coke, fried chicken and ice-cream while we were there! oh...and maggi too! ( Just so you know, the moment we touched down in Sg, we went to eat McD's!!)
We went to the coconut candy factory located at one of the islands!
Not for the faint-hearted.
We also went on a sampan ride. Seriously, a sampan for 4, no engine. Imagine how many sampans they have to move all 90 of us...
The gala dinner on day 5.
Your Singapore delegates.
With Malaysian and Brunei delegates.
With Yao, our arrow. I think she's the only person who could stand our nonsense and constant request. "we're specialll"...I love how she says, "Where's Osman??"everyday without fail...haha
After only 2 hours of sleep...we were off to the airport to bid farewell..hence the tired and can't be bothered faces.
This entry does not do justice to the whole Vietnam experience and to all the wonderful asean friends we made there, but at least you guys get to see a glimpse of what the 6 days was like for us. We took way too many pictures and if i were to go into detail of how we spent our days there, it would take me forever.
Hope you enjoyed this very very short entry. =)
