It's has been incredibly long since I last updated this blog,9 of May in fact.
Last paper of Audit and Assurance was pretty tough,unlike in previous year where case studies whereby answers could be easy traced or linked to were no more seen. Hopefully,I am able to pass this module,but yet my fear lies in Management Accounting and not Audit...Results' be out in the last week of August,1 week earlier than previous hopefully, that's a good sign tat papers were relatively well done compared to last year and therefore were a breeze to mark....but hopefully not on the opposite..anticipate for that day..
Back from Ho Chih Minh City,Vietnam quite sometime ago...Vietnam was more of understanding their war,went to the war reunification palace,had rather deep feelings after touring it...It's a nice city,people there are generally heplful...Explored their cui chi tunnel which serve as an important base during the war and also their Mekong Delta which serve as a vital river for their daily needs,employability and also means of accessiblity...also the 1st time where I saw river signboards of direction along the river.
Vrung Tau, an island off HCMC was spectacular as well...meet a few vietnamese selling souveniers and coconut drinks, surprised that they could speak good mandarin,friendly people who offered to explained the tourist spots on that island.
The beach is nice, though the water is not as clear as Tioman..could see an interesting sight--which was people eating crabs by the shore. Mind you,their crabs are flower crabs which are sold on the shore and are only cooked only when someone orders it, imagine crab claw in 1 hand, a can of beer in another,hearing the sea waves hitting against the shore...NICE...
Toured a portion of Ben thye market, 1 thing that one shouldnt miss is the seafood there..nice,their prawns whether BBQ or steamed taste equally good, their beef,yes beef taste nice not those alike those whose texture taste like bubble gum...they use a special type of sauce which taste a bit like sour plum plus soya sauce, and it isnt bad tasting..
Made a few friends there,including a french guy, British couple and a swiss guy....oh yea, Josh if u r reading this blog,u still own the British couple smthg ar..LOL...
Tried their massage services there which I would say was a matter of polarisation, we went for 2 massages,1 was by the Association of the visually handicapped which cost S$5 and the other costed me US20 #$%^&*(...haha..bt it was nt bad,given that this was the 1st time i tried full body massage and the latter had sauna n steam altogether,Conclude that Full body massage adds little to my utility..haha,guess all the pressing and thumping just isnt my cup of tea...it's hard to miss massage services there since massage shops are almost anywhere...
Vietnam's traditional food "Pho" pronounced as fur consists of kway teow and beef or chicken...it taste real good,the soup and the bouncy kway teow makes a good combination,I think we had that no less than 4 times over there..haha..
Lastly, people like Miss Vy, our hostel owner who took the extra effort to patiently explain to us the tourist hotspots in HCMC that made us save a substantial amount of time and effort..she has indeed made us have a lasting positive impression...
Overall, this trip has made me more respectful of Vietnamese, their magnificent tactics and strategies used during the war has already left me dazzled and proud to be an Asian...Hardworking people who at 7am,when u go on to the street with blury eyes,they are already in their shops serving people...1 positive trait that is highly valued by me..
Alrite shld write till here.
Take Care.
