pictures from vietnam!








one major difference in traffic:
when singaporean's honk, it means: you barged into my path! or whatever traffic offences made.
when vietnamese honk, it means: get out of my way!
there is incessant honking all day long, right into the dead of the night. the ratio of cars to motorcycles - 1:50 - i'm not kidding. that's why the large vehicles have to honk to get the 'midgets' out of their way. hahaha. but other than the traffic, everything else was good. souvenirs and food were very cheap, but there would still be the bargaining. haha. the visit to the war remnants museum was also and eye-opener. especially the horrific pictures of exploded bodies and dismembered heads in black and white. another disturbing factor was the effects of the chemical warfare the us used on the vietnamese. a chemical called agent orange affects pregnant women, causing them to produce babies with physical defects. rather sad. these effects still last presently because the chemicals still linger around in the soil that may be used for agricultural purposes. when the toxic product is eaten, the effects follow. used tanks and planes are displayed as seen in the photos!


ok, now about my passing out parade! i've officially graduated from bmt, with much suffering and pain i must say. i would've enjoyed it more if it didn't rain. but since it rained during every rehearsal, i was well prepared! haha. more photos at:
