today
woke up a bit late. saw that grandma was awake already but mum was still sleeping. went back to sleep again. woke up when mum's phone rang. went out to the dining area for breakfast. ate then got ready to go out.

uncle and laogu went to work while aunt, grandma, mum and i went to the market again to buy last minute stuff. grandma bought some food. we walked round and went to the dry market part. grandma bought some clothes. then we went for lunch. ate at a mushroom hotpot place.... i don't know why we ate hotpot again. guess my family likes it.

lunch was fun! but it was mostly veggi :( took a few pics. finished the food and went to the airport with aunt. the ride to the airport was fast. we got to the airport around 1 and the flight was at 2.20 so we had lots of time. said goodbye to aunt outside the airport. we went to check in our bags. exceded by about 15 kg. wee had 55kg worth of luggage! 3 people! so had to pay a bit. then went to the waiting room. grandma sat down and mum and i walked around a bit. met ms foo! we went back to the waiting room. mum and grandma went to the toilet. waited till they came out to board the plane. it was okay.... ms foo took the same plane as us. but she sat much further back.

the plane ride was uneventful. was tired so i just slept almost the whole way through. woke up a few times and throat felt a bit dry but if want water, its a must to buy so i didn't get. waited for the plane to land. once the plane landed, we walked to the airport itself. slowly cos grandma had problems walking. then slowly walked to the immiration counter. we had singapore passports and we breezed through immigration. went with grandma outside first and saw dad. then mum came out and we all got into the car.

went to ABC market to eat dinner. ate fish and chips! then fetched grandma home and went home ourselves. that's the end of our holiday! finally! i got running nose during the weekend and now my head feels like spinning! but i'm online! cos i don't want to sleep! pics will be tmr! i want some free time now!
i'll post about yesturday first
well, woke up a bit late.... ate kueh lapis for breakfast! loved it! after that we gotr changed and aunt, grandma, dad, mum and i went to the market. we took the car... i should mention it here. the traffic in vietnam is super chaotic. there are more motorbikes then cars and the streets are super crowded. its amazing how the drivers can drive!!! we reached the market... only walked a bit through the dry market. grandma and aunt bought a lot of things. we went to the wet market side and they were selling real life lobsters, fish, crabs and shellfish..... wow. any way, aunt bought a lot of things. i just looked round at the stalls. never thought of buying anything.

went to the car again and went for lunch. we ate at a restuarant above the parkson shopping centre. it was a great lunch. like a buffet but it was more of chinese food. then dad had to leave for the airport around 12.30 as he was going back first. actually, we ordered porridge and dad was supposed to have his share but he had to leave so we got his share! it was sooo filling! finally, lao gu said we had enough. took a video of the fish tank for the music project.

we went back to the house. rested for a while then went to the mall cos aunt and mum wanted to buy me clothes. they weren't very successful(as usual). i finally got a dress... that's all. and i kept trying stuff on. but didn't want to buy. we spent 2 hours on the first floor and just half and hour on the second. didn't even reach the 3rd floor. we went back to the apartment and just relaxed till we had to leave for dinner. we went to this place for japanese hotpot... it was nice! while we waited for the food to come, we went to the next shop to buy DVDs! it was cheap and we bought a lot. went for dinner. the food was great! it was jap food but a different kind from in singapore. and its the hotpot kind.

we went to the night market again after dinner. its grandma, aunt, mum and me. i bought some stuff... walked round. aunt tried to get me to buy more clothes. i didn't want to. any way, went back to the apartment soon after. bathed and blowed dry my hair. it seems like i blowed dry my hair all the nights i was here. hope it did not disturb the rest as it was already 11 plus, almost 12. my grandma slept with mum and i cos my dad went home already. turned on the tv and watched CSI new york for 10 min then fell asleep in front of the tv.
