Chinablack, mood sucks, bought cigar!!! As usual, just reached home and had my bath. Went to school today for the last time to finish off all my attachment stuff. Was able to complete the presentation and website stuff in time, so happy!

After that went town again to play billiard before having our yummilicious dinner at Scotts foodcourt. At around 9, went to Chinablack with Ruibin, Celestal, Darren, Lynn, Parrot and YongHsin cuz was too bored and decided to go clubbing since its free entrance till 10pm.

Its been a long time since I went there and the atmosphere there is still as great except that the people there today abit sucky la, not much chupz loh compared to last time, always flooded with chupz and yandaos!

My mood have been up and down recently, I myself also dunno why my mood so damn fucking sucky! I'm quite sorry to all my friends that I went to buy a pack of cigarettes just now at Chinablack. I know I've already promise them I'll stop smoking in Singapore but I can't! Smoking really destresses me and it made me less sucky. I'm very sorry. Really very sorry that I broke my promise! I dunno why I'm so TROUBLED!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! Life just SUX!!!!!

Orchard again??? Smoke again??? Just reach home not long ago from Orchard again! Was in school the whole day doing nothing but slacking and surfing of net the whole day. Had a meeting with the SIF representative just now and we present to her about our stay in Vietnam, the hardcourt we did and the things we have done.

After that, went to town with Lynn and XiaoXin. We were there to accompany Lynn to wait for her friend till 6.30pm but ended up joining her for dinner with her friend at Crystal Jade. Damn broke now!

Then after that nothing to do le so went home and had my packet of Char Huey Teow again! Super duper fattening liao. Die la, recently been smoking quite alot even though I'm back in Singapore. I dunno why also, dun ask me why I've been smoking. I just have the urge and maybe to "destress". I just feel that I have something bothering me but I dunno what that thing is and I certainly feel better after a puff or two.

I will try my best to kick away this habit as this is what I have promised to all my friends. But gimme some time please, I will cut down to one stick per day and slowly to no more stick. I'm sorry my friends, I know all of u care for me and I will try my best. Just gimme some time!!!

Town again and I miss Vietnam!!!! Just came back home not long ago. Was out in town with Parrot, Celestal, Shujun, Darren, YongHsing, Ruibin and Lynn.

Went to school today @ 12pm for lunch at the staff center with the Vietnam group, Mr Soh and Mr Chow. I was taking the train to school and was thinking to myself that I have to try to adapt back to life here in Singapore. But I still prefer life in Vietnam although it's less clean than Singapore, more vehicles on the road then Singapore, more complicated than Singapore but I still like Vietnam better. Think I can't wait for December to come so that we can go back there again to visit the children and the volunteers.

Back to the topic, was in school to discuss how's life in Vietnam and what we learn over there. Things that we learnt such as constructing a hardcourt, a trelis, washing of clothes, cooking and marketing.

After that went town at around 2 plus and we went to watch Harry Potter at Lido. After the show ended, Lynn left us and we continue to go shop around before joining Feiyou, Cheeheng and Jack at IOI plaza for pool at pool junction. That place is damn cool with Bose speakers around and it has a very nice ambience.

Played till around 10 and went for supper at Burger King at Plaza Singapura till about 11 plus before going home. Had a great and superb day overall! ;)

Vietnam is great! I love there!!! Its 8.34pm now and I just woke up from my afternoon nap! Was so damn bloody tired after 3 weeks at Vietnam. Everybody from the trip looks shag and sad today cuz we gotta leave Vietnam and we'll definitely miss the volunteers from the Youth Union.

Guess I'll have lotsa things to write today as I've not log in a single time for the past 3 weeks. Alittle not used to it this afternoon when I started tying on tht keyboard cuz I've not touch a bloody comp for 3 damn long weeks!

I'll write down every single thing I do in Vietnam for the last 3 weeks here as I've jotted everything in a small notebook. First day we reached Ho Chi Minh City at 4 plus and we started to settle down, interact with the volunteers and walk around the area where we're staying - Liberty III Hotel.

The next day we went for a meeting with the Vietnamese Youth Union President and later in the noon went to buy equipments and stuff needed to build the hardcourt. Reach back hotel, had our dinner and went off to the supermarket again to buy cooking needs, personal stuff and Chivas! Haha.....

The third and last day in Ho Chi Minh City for us before going to the village, Can Gio was a short day for us. The journey to Can Gio was so damn bloody idiotic long! Had a meeting with the principal there and reach the Tam Thon Hiep School at around 2 plus. Right after settling down we started to clear the debris and stuff for the hardcourt area. Following on the next day was to excavate hardcourt, taking out of column stumps and roots and playing SOCCER with the kids! Life's great over at Can Gio, so carefree and enjoyable.

The next 6 days was briefly the same as we excavate the hardcourt area, backfilling, compacting and laying of concrete with a 2 metre interval strip for expansion joint. The next day we had to go market at 5 plus am as Darren, YongHsing, Parrot and me are helping the girls ( Celest, Shujun and Ruibin) to prepare the meals for the day. I learnt how to drive a bike on this day( 4/6/04) with Heli as my instuctor! On Day 12 we all supposingly was to go for a beach clean-up but ended up became a beach talk. We also visited a Mangrove Swamp area, a Monkey Island with so many bloody damn fierce MONKEYS!! That day was Xuping's bday also and we went for dinner at the contractor's house and it just SUX!! Haha... I'm stating the truth!

Day 13 (6/6/04) This is the day whereby the meals are prepared by 4 big GUYS, Parrot, YongHsing, Darren and Me! We had Pork Chop for lunch and Yao Mui Fan as dinner. The next few days were practically slack days for us as we had already finished the hardcourt. So we went over to the vice-principal's house which is also Tan's house. The mangoes they offered us was POWER MANZ! Super sweet!

Went drinking around with San(Contractor's worker) also and we drank alot that day, I alone drank about 10 plus cups of rice wine. Ended up abit seh seh loh! On day 16, what we did was to prepare for the campfire stuff, soaking of wood, planning and lastly playing of the 3 ball billiard. Haha...

Day 17 - The last night at Can Gio, prepared campfire stuff and it rained! And I think druing the campfire at night I burnt the hair on my right hand, abit sadz loh! Sianz! And that's the night where I didnt sleep at all, was up the whole night chatting away with Linh(a vietnamese volunteer). And I enjoyed that night alot, haha...

Day 18 - Last and final day at Can Gio where almost everybody cried cuz we were like one big family and all of a sudden we have to leave. I miss Tan, Tuan, Teng, Lang, and alot alot more, Binh, Vanh and San also! Our bus came at 11 plus and we have to leave. Had lunch at the Can Gio beach and later reached back at Ho Chi Minh Liberty III Hotel at around 4 plus. And ya, this day is Shujun's bday and we all had our dinner at the Pasta restaurant with her treating us! And guess what present we bought for her? A bouquet of roses, very beautiful.

The next day we started our shopping craziness but before that we went over to the Zoo first and Shujun was super engross with the animals, haha!!! After that started the shopping frenzy at some markets and Diamond Plaza. We had KFC for our dinner, 3 long weeks never touch fastfood le leh, will slim down, haha! After that at night went to watch soccer between Portugal and Greece whereby it sux cuz Portugal lost by 2 stupid goals! We went for pool also after soccer with Viet around, he's a super nice guy who likes Shujun alot I think, haha... Stayed up till around 3 plus in the morning before returning to the hotel for rest.

Day 20 - The last shopping day at Ho Chi Minh. We went shopping for backpack at Binh Than Market and I bought one for 220000 Dong which is about 22 bucks in Sing dollars. Super cheap right? Haha... happy like dogz! After that we had Pho 2000 for our lunch, and follow by shopping craziness at Diamond Plaza again that Adidas shop which I bought a bag and a tee-shirt. Went back to hotel after shopping till around 11 plus pm as we wanted to clear away all the Dong currency. Watch soccer again between England and France which France won 2-1 with 2 last minute goals by Zidane! Stayed up almost the whole night till bout 4 plus am to drink and smoke with Viet! Think this trip made me quite bad cuz started to drink and smoke again. But anyway its social drinking and smoking, haha.....

Day 21 - Woke up at 6.30am cuz we gotta check out by 7.30am, alittle headache maybe because drank too much the previous night. Reach airport at around 8 plus and bid farewell to the volunteers, its a sad scenario again and YongHsing cried because of Ting. I was quite happy that Linh came, thought she not coming already cuz she was late, very happy indeed she came but sad on the other hand I gotta go. But nvm, I'll contact with her thru emails! After that reached back Singapore at around 1.30pm, bought a bottle of Jack Daniels and glad that mum and dad came to fetch me! Reached home and started to sort out all my stuffs and went to bed after that as I was already like a walking zombie.

Think this blog is super long le right, I'll stop here and continue again tomorrow! Sianz, very tired, think I go sleep le cuz tomorrow still gotta go school at 12 for meeting! Tata... ;)
