We came, we saw, we ate!!

At Binh Quoi on 13 July 2007. Look at how much we ate! A good place to eat the local food. Since this is our 2nd visit in a week, we spent sometime taking pictures and more time eating! It's exciting to see how some food are similar like we have in Malaysia such as ubi ketuk (tapioca, cooked and mixed with grated coconut, sugar and crushed peanuts), siput sedut, and taufu fa. Others are mostly new to me, made from rice flour mostly like that chewy fried thing. Thana thought it was puri but then it turned out to be some desserts made of glutinous rice. Too bad I dont have the picture. Chewy but sedap!

The boss was mentioning today, "NO riding on motorbikes". Shoot! So how am I supposed to have fun then? Well the justification does really make sense though. It's dangerous and the insurance will find a way to find your fault if accidents happen. So no more motorbike rides for me...aisey!!

I have no idea what to babble about other than work. So hopefully the flowers will cheer up some of you! The picture was taken when I was at Kangaroo Island in Adelaide. It's just outside my room. Soooo pretty! Dunno what it's called though. Any idea?

Binh Quoi Tourist Village

My friends and I were planning to visit the Independance Palace but they were closed when we got there. So we went here instead and it's totally awesome! a very peaceful and romantic place, located by Saigon River where you can actually take a boat ride (aah boat ride..hmm). there's an outdoor buffet with lots of local food. so we're planning to come here again next week with a bunch more friends. Cool!

My new 'house'

It is not exactly MY house. but i live in it. i rent the room. it's spacious, about 12x15 ft i think (counting the tiles). i have someone who cleans the room everyday. the rent comes with free internet and laundry. of course, all other bills are paid too. i have a small tv, maybe 15", yup, too small actually. furnitures are included as well. i even have a bath tub in my bathroom. all in all i think it's alright. it's a totally different experience, living in a house with 10 bedrooms, meaning 10 other people that you hardly see. and the landlord and his family actually occupy some of the rooms.

the youngest daughter is so cute. i had the chance to talk to her today after i got back from work. anyhow, the best part of all, she has a good looking brother! who seems to work out often...haha. oops, i'm actually forbidden from flirting around now. but having a crush is still legal, right ;)

To-do list

1. Look for the best area to view sunset in Malaysia. I've been in Gunung Mat Cincang in Langkawi..which was really nice.
2. Visit KL Tower..(please, for God sake! who else should be proud of it if not us Malaysians?)
3. Island hoppings. well, not literally lah. i wanna go appreciate Malaysian beautiful islands and its heritage under the sea.
4. Eye-on Malaysia - done!
5. Family vacation, haven't done that in a while. budak2 semua sekolah, so the time is limited to school holidays now. *sigh*
6. more to come soon!
