During the trip, there are some unexpected situation that I was unexpecting it to be
When the first day we reach Vietnam, wow the i first thing i want to complain was
the freaking hot weather!
I was dissapointed with my uncle because he told me the weather in Vietnam was slightly cloudier than singapore, but in the end, he cheated me! Photobucket (because i brought alot of windbreaker )
But i endured it all the way and drank lots of water :)
And the other thing was, The food! It was a dissapointment because most halal restaurant there serves indian food where it can be found in Singapore itself, except it serves differently.
I wanted to taste their traditional food but i was told that most Vietnamese food are non-halal
So I was quite dissatisfied. Photobucket

But then, all those rantings does not matter to me now.
After all, all it matters was those ♥Friends Ive made during the trip
The joy and the laughter with them are still fresh in my memory right now
I wish those unforgotten happy and funny moments won't last and all these
memories would be with me forever. very cheerful

The other thing was, i am very thankful for the opportunity given to me to go
around to see how others live at the other side of the world. Although the vietnamese
are paid small amount or live at the roadside, i could see they are happy with their lifestyle.
So now I've realised that money or wealth doesnt really provide Happiness to everyone. What matters to them most was the way they lived together as a family and provide family spirit to each other.

This Vietnam trip has been an eye-opening experience to me.
Seriously, the 4 days are not enough, i wish i could explore more :)
But this trip has made me to be thankful for all the things that have been given to me in this world that i know there are other people who are less fortunate than me.
