It's all about cambodia & Ho Chi Minh City

29 Sep 08, an assignment to Cambodia & vietnam, twin countries at 1 go. Knew this trip is gonna be real tiring! Missed Hari Raya holidays... argh! WHAT A WASTE! missed ronnie's birthday party... so sad! most of all, a very special day for my dearie wei siong. It's his birthday !

First day of arrival in Siem reap was already a disaster, 1 fella gone nuts and kept scolding about me nvr give clear instructions. I was like &#&@(* !!! why only you got problem? why others no problem? purely because you nvr pay attention to me!! damn!
Visit the home industry... how they make the wood carvings and so on. BORING!
here comes the optional tour to Lake tonle Sap! woot!!! $$$
Lake tonle sap (boat ride) to see the floating houses, floating hospital, school and shops. Can you imagine if you were making babies at night? if you see other floating houses is rocking. well, you know wat they are up to! =P chi kek nya...
Lunch was so- so and we checked into the hotel after a hearty meal , Monoreach Hotel (4star) yippeee!!! Checked all rooms and a short briefing.
Gather at 430 pm , proceed to bakheng hill to watch the sunset. AIKS! didnt know it was so high up that we all missed the sunset. plus it was gonna rain. Streets with stalls selling duck eggs. well, with an unborn duckling in it. YUCKS! but it's good for health , especially to mens according to the local guide. hehehe. it seems like sex can last longer wor... wonder how true is it?
Dinner and proceed back to the hotel.. WANT A MASSAGE?! oh yes!! $$$
930pm to a massage centre. relaxnya! FOC for me =P

Morning 730 again to ho chi minh city. another 5 hours journey... luckily no traffic jam! however, everyone were afraid and bought lots and lots of buiscuits and bread just in case! lol. cute!when we are about to cross the border line.... the officers in cambodia were so cunning! they wanted 10usd , otherwise will not chop our passport and to let us cross. what the fuck!!! i was in fury and when another officer with a higher pose walked out, his employees were so afraid and chop our passport with a sulky face. nvm that, they took our vietnam embarkation card! what for!? obviously because they were not satisfied and were unhappy with us. This time they really get on my nerves and i went and screw all the officers! then the one with the higher pose came out and see what happened. I told him off ...What are u guys trying to do and why want to keep all our embarkation cards? doesnt want us to cross vietnam or what?! then he spoke in khmer to his employees....only they gave me back all the embarkation cards. GEEZ!


worst still in vietnam immigration!!! we were lining up at the immigration when suddenly the officer ask us to move aside! reason was to let another group to line up to chop their passport. WTF AGAIN!?? makan money again!!! both immigrations are all blood suckers. sickening COUNTRY! gave me so many problems! Thank God the members didnt blame me.

Arrived in Ho chi minh, dont wanna talk about hcmc. frustrated with the damn local guide. money face and he thinks that he can bully me. mess with me and u are dead!!!! he was so rude to my members that i have to told him off. this is the first time im dealing with such local guide. complaints were being made by all members. BLACK LIST HIM!

anyway, we went to cu chi tunnel... interesting place! take a look at the pics! =) itinerary were too relaxing in hcmc. the local guide proposed some optional tour but because of his bad behavious towards the members, they decided not to join any. Sadddddddddddddd... there goes my $$$ . it is all the local guide fault. damn!

Dinner on a cruise. Yummy and i lurve this cruise!

second day in hcmc... just shopping and shopping. monuments and monuments. the itinerary ends after half a day.

dinner on cruise


last day in hcmc, shopping at ben thanh market. The day goes on with shopping stops until transfered to airport. After we have checked in at 5pm, we proceed to our boarding gate to wait for our flight at 7pm. GUESS WAT? the flight was delayed until 830pm! i was hungry and thirsty. i went up the next floor to look for food and water and they were so expensive!!! 1 instant noodle cup cost USD7 and 1 bottle of mineral water USD3. That is the cheapest i could find! #(*&@ so expensive!! therefore, i waited and waited until i go up the plane. the flight was full and all the food and drinks were almost sold out ! i have no choice but to order the chicken rice. regretful.... never ever order chicken rice in air asia!!! it sucks! touched down kul almost midnight and the taxi stand queue was so long . i think 200 ppl were in the line. If i were to wait for it, i think i need to wait until 3am at least. so i decided to jump queue... sorry but i needed to go back early as i need to work the next morning! didnt have a choice.... arrived home at 1230am. Exhausted !


Tour ends!
