CIP Vietnam Trip.

Vietnam Trip (4 days 3 night )
Hey everybody! It has been a long time since i last blog, i want to apologized to my readers, and thanks
for all the support. (:
So recently i went to Vietnam to do a volunteer work with my CIP mates. I really love Vietnam, and Vietnamese. They are super duper kind, helpful, kind- hearted, friendly, generous, caring and always 
wearing a big smile on their faces. I might sound abit exaggerated, but they are really really nice !! 

First day.

Bus to Changi Airport, then headed to the Vietnam Airlines plane. The service was really good,
and they serve us with food ! 

Beef rice. The black red cup water there is not Rebina, is RED WINE. OHYEAH ~ .
It was really delicious and nice. After 1 hour and 30 minute of time, reached Ho Chi Min City.





At Vietnam, there are alot alot of motorcycle and less car. You can find people riding Bikes
everywhere. And it's really hard for you to cross the road, there's no turn back way if not
you will get knock by the motorbikes.


Vietnam's sky dark very easily, for example - 6pm in Singapore = 10pm in Vietnam. And when 3
to 4 + pm, the sun set already. Thus, the sky get darker when it comes to 7pm.

Received coconut candies from the Tour Guide. 
 After 2hour of bus ride, we took the Boat to the Homestay which located at the Village. 


I keep laughing while modeling at the Homestay, it was so funny. What do you think ?
I look so funny and unglam. HAHAAHA .

Day 2 ( CIP work )
We were instructed to ride the bike to An Loi primary school. However, I didn't ride the Bike, because
my legs were too short, and the bikes were very big. BUT I KNOW HOW TO RIDE OK ? So, Nancy
the Vietnamese tour guide lady fetch me to the Primary School by a bike. 

 Reached the school, the school was really in a bad condition, it was dirty, floor were spoiled,
 the wall were dirty. Some children without shoes. They make me feel very blessed in Singapore.
When i first step into the classroom, there were only one fan, and it's insecurely hanging on
the wall. The children need to squeeze together in a small table and chairs. The floor was dirty
and spoil, the wall and windows are dusty. However, the children over always with a big
smile on their faces. It's really heartbreaking to see them in this kind of bad condition.
Thus, we were assigned to paint the wall and clean the classroom. After that, I went to play
with the children there. They are so cute and cute and cute.


  Me preparing the game.
  Me drinking coconut.


Me with Huiyin, she love me so much. LOL

Rasul, Sean, Lichin and me played Dog and Bone, and Volleyball with the them!
The boys are so handsome and cute, I'm very close to them okay ? And they 
love me so much. JOKE . All of them are so cute and helpful. They are so young and simple. They
play soccer and small little things which already make them so happy. 
Then went for Mud fish catching. The Vietnam foods were delicious, just like Asian Food, just that
they eat with Rice Paper. (:

3rd day 
Went back to An Loi primary school and give them some gifts. I regretted for not bringing my biscuits 
for them.I get to hug and shake hands with all of them. The moment were really priceless, their smiles
and everything. I received gifts from them too, awwww they are so cute.  
Then ride to boat to the city place.

with me places to places at the Village. She even complimented me that I AM A GOOD GIRL.
LOL . She's not only the one who good to me, and one Vietnamese guy who always there to help
