#76vietnam, bush!

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

Today I woke up at 3am.

And I couldn't fall asleep again. So I got out of bed at about 5am, because closing my eyes and trying to sleep was harder than staying awake. And surprisingly, I'm not even tired now. I'm in that half tired yet can't sleep mode that I'm in about every school day.

Today I can't sleep, yesterday I was dragged from my sleep to IKEA.

Not that I really mind though. I love IKEA.<3
We went there to buy these kiddy stuff cos my dad's vietnam friend is starting a kindergarten in vietnam. so cool right(: one day I will work at a kindergarten! hahaha if I actually did everything I said I would I'd have approximately no life when I reach 'one day'(:

VIETNAM!
somehow I think my sleep very little-ness today is because I'm excited about Vietnam. My dad printed out this huuuge stack of wikitravel and some other stuff about Vietnam. VERY amusing. I read about half the stack yesterday before I went to bed, then this morning when I woke up I read for another hour before turning the lights back off and trying to overcome that springy things that the spring fairy stuck in my eyelids when I was sleeping.

You should read these quotes:
VIETNAM ONLINE.

If your friends at home love tacky tourist crap, you are in luck!

WIKITRAVEL.

If you've lost your departure card or forgot to fill one out, the immigration officer may request $20 as a bribe to let you pass. Don't give him the money

Taxi drivers may tell you there are no more airport buses - ignore them.

Driver may come up with any kind of excuses, from 'no vacancy' or 'circus is in town' just to get you [to] stay at other (commision-paying) hotels.

Driving in Saigon is best left to experienced drivers, however - the traffic is intense, and has its own rhythms and logic.

The driver often visits places which benefit his wallet. The driver often ignores your directions for museums and heads to his favoured local poor quality gift shop. They circulate around the central market and will immediately try to take you on a city tour the moment you are on board.

...the biggest problem is when you get of the bus, you become a pedestrian. (haha you think, big deal, then you read these: )

However crossing the road in Saigon can be a nightmare.

Adherence to traffic signals in Saigon is is vastly improving, and while they're not always followed... Just remember though that vehicles can ALWAYS turn right at any time (regardless oflights). Motorbikes often drive in the wrong direction

(On Independence Palace) There is also a photo gallery and a propaganda film recounting how the South Vietnamese supporters and American imperialists succumbed to Ho Chi Minh's indomitable revolutionary forces, upon which point the South Vietnamese Supporters were forgiven and everyone lived happily ever after.

If you care about animal welfare, avoid the zoo.

(On Quan Am Pagoda) The oldest pagoda in town, home of a lot of incense and a cheerful puppy.

(On the Saigon River) Make sure you know how to cross the road before attempting to get there.

If you're in Saigon on a Sunday night, then beg, borrow, or rent a two-wheeled vehicle

Cho Binh Tay in the China, the more underrated twin of Ben Thahn [market](haha it sounds like ben10) , selling everything from spices, Chinese medicines, silk to obscure varieties of fermented fish, dried seafoods, and jerks.

Hidden behind rows of hardware and electric supplies shops, just brave yourself and enter.

Vietnam sounds so exciting(: I also saw this email to my mum with pictures of weird sights in Vietnam. Oh, forgot to send it to myselfD: but look at this email(:

I will miss Bush's quotes

"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be
prepared'."

"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world."

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to
Europe. We are a part of Europe."

"Public speaking is very easy."

"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."

"For NASA, space is still a high priority."

"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that
are doing it."

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."

Makes us love Obama that much more. (:

and this one, from amandah(:

and my favourite...

HAPPY RETIREMENT MISS TAN!♥
we'll miss you(:

It was so cool and so touching. Miss Tan and her sister and her chauffeur (sp? I don't know how to spell a lot of words. And I pray sabrina doesn't read that hahaha) arrived at about 10.30 and the whole school (i think) was there and we were all cheering damn loud and screaming.

The teachers who organised it also got the p6,1&2 (i think.) to line up along the road leading to rgps. so sweet. aww(:

So she got off at the pick up point and we're all screaming and the teachers went to pop those party stuff and mr teo was like struggling with his poppy thing so it was like 'pop pop pop pop ahhhhhhhh ahhh whooooo pause pause pause POP whoo ahh!' hahaha(: serves him right for not being more appreciative that we visit him(:

Then it was the concert! First it was the band playing, big surprise, FORREST GUMP! hahaha they play it at like every event. Then they played colours of the wind(: love that song(: and I haven't heard it in a while/: but the band was playing it and sabrina and bianche were the self-appointed vocals, so i guess that counts as hearing it today(:

After that was the p3 speech and drama course performance. The lower primary is so pampered. They get all these swimming courses and speech and drama courses and some other courses. And they get to play in the playground. allow me to poutD: hahahaha(: at least VISITORS get to play there. but it's getting stale now/:

Then were 2 p3 groups one sang with music, and the other a capella/ aca pella/ acapella. so cute(: then the 4minutes group which performed for grad!

then us. At the end Bianche picked up the card and we all shouted 'WE LOVE YOU MISS TAN!'
hahahaha i bet that was the redeeming factor of our dance(:

I like insulting matches(:
"blablabla"
"blablabla"
"hahahahaha"
"blablabla"
"blablabla"
-exasperated look-
"hahahaha"

Yesterday was grad day for rgpbatchof'08!
Mrs Sng asked for two alumni performances, so there we were(: sabrina, bianche, claire and weiling sung 'how six songs collide' acapella (however you spell that). a capella. aca pella. o.o
they were the 2nd performance after this gep+mainstream dance group. Then the school didn't have condenser mikes so they had to use those handheld ones. and claire's wasn't turned onD: but they got cheers(: &they only had like 2 hours of practice or something, so very pro(:

but the audience was quite unresponsive actuallyD: like there was this long row of girls more concerned about candyfloss-.- ew. I just realised it's candyfloss, like dental floss. And I saw a p6er with blue teeth from the candyfloss-.-

the performers quite poor thing. the first performance most people were still queueing up and some walking around so not many people paid attention. Last year like everyone was sitting down and staring. maybe cos it was a competition, not a performance. or that the dj told us to keep quiet.

our dance was fifth! the starting part was too soft thoughD:
only when the dance started did it hit me that the performance was so short.

it's taking a long time for things to hit me nowadays. (hahahhaha like matrix or something. I duck, so the things cannot HIT me!)

It's time I posted properly(:

TODAY
boooring, NEXT!
(hahaha can you tell i watched emperor's new school today?)

TUESDAY 0411
wow. it just hit me that it's november now.

CLASS PARTY!
not bad, but it's quite sad to see how un-united 110 is nowD: we were more bonded earlier this year, when we didn't know each other that well/:
let's just hope for the better next year, yeah(:

my brother just dragged me away to play badmintonD:
he won. 7-0 game points (race to 10) haha quite fun we kept calling shots foul(:
me:"that's not counted. that's a crap shot"
bro:"that's a half body slam, what crap"
-play play play-
bro:"now that's a crap shot"
me:"that's a.. kick back slam.. boom."
i'm creative(:

REPORT CARDS D:
I am happy(: my gpa IMPROVED! thanks to b.i., actually.
3.40!
I aimed for higher, but I'm not disappointed or anything. I'm satisfied. weird.

AFTER SCHOOL!
eda, liting, ningxin and i went to cine! and watched lakeview terrace. i think. something terrace.
damn weird show. this black guy is a cop and this whiteman&blackwoman couple just moved in next door to him. And he doesn't like them cos his wife who's black and dead died in a car crash with her boss who's white so he thinks that the wife was having an affair with her boss. so he doesn't like white and black couples, or something like that.
So they start annoying each other

and bang, in the end the black guy dies.

haha well the cinema was so empty, and i mean completely except for the four of us. Which is why the sound was so LOUD. The cinema felt very spooky cos there was no one at ALL, except for the occasional staff that popped in and stood at the back of the cinema.

wearing a white shirt that nearly glowed in the dark. damn spooky. then before there was this 'hell's highway' trailer and we were all covering our ears and shutting our eyes, and that ningxin was just sitting there and staring at the screen-.-

MONDAY
what happened? I can't remember...

FRIDAY
nights in rodanathe!<3
I love that show. it's so sad. it's like the tears just stream down, no stopping it. then just when you're going to stop crying, then whoosh, it comes again.
I love shows that make you cry.
and that make you laugh at the same time(:
