070607 – Day 5
Woke up in the morning feeling drowsy. Breakfast was bread with beef curry, totally unfilling. Today’s lesson is more interesting at least, as we are able to do some discussions among ourselves. And it was Prof Jon last lecture before we see another one tomorrow. Finally went to an internet place after lunch which is damn sucky. I cant get into blogspot, can’t see my blog, can’t upload pics to friendster, can’t do much at all, just can access the stupid NTU website. Sigh.
We went to Hoa Lo prison first, which isn’t as interesting as I expected. Then we were off to the Ho Chi Minh Museum, which is surprisingly more interesting. The air con is such a great relief. We passed the Ho Chin Minh Moseleum, where his body is preserved inside but it was closed today, so probably we will visit it another day.

Dinner was at a supposedly high class Marche like place to celebrate the two girls birthdays. We ordered food by table. Food is not that great I feel, maybe I’m still not accustomed to their taste. Me and Zi Liang each ordered a bottle of Ha Noi beer, and the rest were kind of like seeing whose face will be redder. Okay apparently it was his. Each person amounted to about 6.50, fairly cheap for such a place.After dinner 15 of us walked to old quarters again, majority went to catch the water puppet show, while me, Zi Liang and Jessica went for the foot massage. Their service is damn good, each person has a free drink and they really made you feel comfortable. I just felt like sleeping on, as they made it a point to massage the head, hands, neck and body. And it only cost 10 bucks. Very worth it. Hopefully for the next 3 weeks I will go for such massages again.
We R VIETNAM ARMY :)
We met up with the rest after that and shopped for hats for some time. Yeah I bought 2 hats for 6 bucks only! Very satisfied. All thanks to Phung for bargaining for me. Then we splitted into 2 cabs back to dorm. I intended to have an early night initially and get up early for a morning jog the next day but ultimately it didn’t happen becos everyone was so hyped up over the results release. I wasn’t planning to check at all but seeing that majority checked, I tried logging in too. My first time here I am able to log in successfully to MSN. I tried using Kai Xiang’s lappy to check but gave up after waiting for it to load for about 30 minutes. So I went over to Phung’s room to use their lappy and in the end I stayed there till 2plus just to check cos I tried logging in for umpteen times but it was unsuccessful. I think the people around me more anxious to see how I fare. And we ended up gossiping about people, girls really like to gossip a lot, and it’s interesting to hear the kind of stuff they gossip about. Overall result, quite satisfactory, I can’t complain much I guess, must learn to be contented :)
