WeeKiat was nice, he sms-ed me to send me off :D Heh, caught some shows in the plane. John Tucker must die! Oh, it's quite a nice show. Heh, SIA IS LOVE! I love the aeroplane so much. It has been like years since I ever sat on it (: Haha. So apparently I was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPPY! I messaged ZhiHui, BrianYingDI [ I'm trying to adapt! ], VictorLam! &Vie. Heh. I feel kinda bad, not celebrating Vic's birthday. But oh wells, alright la! Hahah.

Reached Hanoi. There's this bus which came to pick us up& send us to our hotel. Heh, then shop around Hanoi Historic OldQuarters. My first impression of the place was : BAD, DIRTY. I DONT LIKE! The traffic was terrible. Hornings EVERYWHERE. And motorcycles were everywhere. The traffic was heavy. And it's difficult even to cross a road! The motorcycles DONT stop for you. Not even at traffic light or zebra crossing. And you can see 6person in ONE motorcycle! Erm, with 3babies! From the one I saw. When I saw 3in a motorcycle, I thought it was A LOT. To think, there's six-.- And the motorcycles can go side by side, talking to each other-.- Well, there's things that couldnt be seen in Singapore. And litter was everywhere seen. Awwww): Suck big big time!

Shop along OldQuarter. Caught their Water Puppet Show. It was quite interesting. But guess what, I was somehow sleeping in the theatre. Lol. Perhaps cause I just wanted some sleep): Heh, Old Quarters were alright. Just see what you like, but we decided not to buy anything. Cause we're leaving for Sapa the next day. And it'll be a lot of things to be brought there if we do buy.

Had a one day tour. Went TamCoc in HoaLu. Heh, visited some temples. And the tourguide resembles like HernHui! But definitely, my HernHui is wayyyyyyy better. Heh. Pagodas can be seen there. But the best part was the TamCoc, the river&caves that we went. We sat on this boat, small little boat. And had a 2hours ride through the river with caves &high high mountains. Then the woman who rows the boat somehow got daddy&me trapped. Heh, not really la. But they sell us things. And yeah, we bought some from her. She even showed us her mummy's photo& family. Showing how poor her family is. So yea, and the effort she take to row the boat is A LOT. Much strenght used. I tried to helped her, using the small one. I tell you! 2row, my hand aches! My brother even video-ed me doing it): Awwwww! Heh, so like yea, bought some pocket stuffs from her :D

Then back to Hotel. And waited for our bus to pick us up to get to the train station. And when we got to the train station, we got into our cabin. It was my first time (: First time sleeping in the train. Heh heh. Taking this night train to Sapa! It was quite cosy la. But somehow frightening at first. And I slept through it all! Despite the noisy track. I dont know why I can still sleep so so so soundly! Haha.
And I saw some Singaporean students!

Waited at the train station. A bus pick ALL those who are going to Sapa up. And then send us to RoyalView Hotel. The hotel we're to stay in. We cant check in yet as it was real early. About 7plus8. We alighted from the train like 6.30am. Lol. Breakfast at hotel. AND I KNOW! Those are really Singaporean! They are people from Innova Junior College! And I regconise someone! I dont know his name. Erms, last year also Coral student. Muhaimi's cousin! Yea, NCC one! And another guy who I finds VERY familiar! But have no idea who it was. Heh.

Put our luggages in the hotel lockers. And met our tour guide! Heh heh, this is when I got a sister! Like oh finally. Her name is Maya. She's eighteen years old. And she's from a tribe! Yeah:D We et off for trekking. Up&downs. Three village in total. The first&second village one aint that bad. Those tribals were persistent on you buying their stuffs. But the views from the montains were pretty& beautiful. You get to see the rose garden. Paddy fields. And yea, tribes houses with suspension bridge that someone fall from. Heh, I still walked that bridge!

3Australians/ Melbourne guys had a homestay. And their guide was Maya's friend. And we went into their place. Perhaps I should travel with friends next time, with a homestay with the tribes. Eat together with them&stuffs. Heh. They were cute la please! Asking how big is Singapore. OH, NOT BIG AT ALL. HAHAHA! Cute la!

And then went into a school. Secondary school if I aint wrong. The one that those JC students went to help out with (: Heh, how nice! I guess they knew it, that we were Singaporean too. I feel so comfortable! And it feels good when you see someone or people who are from the same country as you are! It really feels good!

Went to the thrid village. Hard trek. It was VERY dangerous. I manage to pull through though daddy& mummy aint with me. Maya was fast. I was behind her. And some tribes helped me. But I knew it. It aint free. And a group of ten followed us. Mummy was like, ' OH NO, WE GOT TO BUY MANY STUFFS LATER!' Yeah, 2of them helped me. They hold my hand. Their hand was scary. Black nail! EEEW. But yeah, it was just colour I guess. So it didnt bother me much. Just hold hands. They were good at it. Cause they were tribes. So like yeah, they helped me. And when I end it at a waterfall. Maya&I played water. Hahaha. It was fun! Splashing at each other. Taking pictures together. Heh heh!

After that, the tribals who helped me asked me to buy their stuffs. And Maya was trying to tell me, ' buy something small from them' Cause the big one had no use to me! Haha, and it was expensive. They hammer us la! Haha. Bought one bracelet each from the 2tribal that helped me. It was pretty scary. A group attack daddy. Another group attacked mummy. Brother was fed up. And I was trying to tell daddy to only buy from those2 taht helped me. and yeah, they were persistent. Mummy bought a few too! From a few tribal. And they even gave her some band. Haha, cause they were happy. Heh heh.

COuntinued, like finally we finished the trek. And then jeep took us& brought us back to our hotel :D

Visited their market! Nice:D
Went another trekking. It was a VERY MUCH EASIER trek. Up& down stairs. See waterfalls& stuffs. And Maya was like cartoon la. Heh heh, played with her. She can carry me! I'm like so heavy! HEH. But I cant carry her): Hahaha. She was like saying I got no strength. Heh, she's good! A tribe like her speaks English. She learnt it like in2years! From who ? From tourists. Like, wow! Admirable!

MAYA SISTER GAVE ME EARRINGS. AND FOUR LEAVES CLOVER. I would remember her for it [: And also being the person who took my first motorcycle ride with me! Heh heh, I was afraid at first. And since brother wanted a motorcycle ride so so so badly. I got to take it too. But haha, it werent that scary actually. Perhaps I wouldnt dare to in Hanoi! Hahaha! STUPID TRAFFIC :D

After that lunch& headed to the tourist mountain! It was nice :D Met some Jap-French lady. Who was travelling alone. So decided to ask her to join us (: And it was pretty much to be seen. Just that Maya lost her boyfriend's knife/key):

It was the last time I maybe could see Maya. So like, yeah. It was a goodbye. But, got her email. So aint that bad :D Heh heh heh! Yeah. And then hugged her :D She's nice luh! And yeah. sweet nice big sister!
