I remember that I've once written 'brave' to describe myself on a job application form. I used to tell people that I'm a brave one when they asked me to talk about myself. However, subconscious of mine knows that, I'm a coward, and that's the reason I try very hard to be brave.
I don't know why and where this ability comes from, I realized that I can read minds. Maybe, I should say this way, I can be observant enough if I want to. It's not a good thing to me, it made me feel disappointed to humanity sometimes, when I found out people are telling lies and being fake. Eventually, I chose not to read them and tried to believe that everyone has their own strengths. I chose to believe that human beings are born to be kind as I'm fear to see their evil sides.
That's quite common to be fear as that's the weakness of humanity. I want to survive and live in this world as long as I can, so I need to beat the fear.
I've gone through a few times of accidents when I was a kid, I cried every time I got injured. My mom told me it won't stop bleeding no matter how long you cry. The solution is to do something that can heal the wounds. Hence, I just learned to enjoy the healing process and remember the lesson.
There's once I fell down when I went hiking, I thought I would die. But I didn't. I was afraid of height but I knew that I must overcome it, so I tried very hard to face it.
I had a very happy relationship in 2008, but it only lasts about 18months because of the distance. It was the toughest period in my life. I got depression and always wanted someone to accompany me, but I knew nobody would ever keep accompany me forever. I was afraid to be alone, and so I tried to complete everything alone. I knew that if I want to survive, I gotta be independent and take good care of myself even I am alone.
I guess everyone is afraid to be hurt, so do I. I rarely tell people about myself and I wouldn't show them how I feel as well. Just to prevent myself from being hurt. However, it didn't make any changes and somehow I found that being hurt helped me to grow. It sounds a little weird, I enjoyed being hurt sometimes as I know I'll grow and learn something new after that. Some of the bad experiences were killing me, but I just didn't want to be knocked down by that. The only thing I can do is to accept it and make myself to be stronger from the lessons.

Rainbow after the rain
Yea, I feel so grateful and thankful for the blessings from God and his kind forgiveness.
The night I cried myself to sleep was so terrible. I was not just feel upset, but my heart felt painful as well. Perhaps, we have built a kinda strong friendship before these, I just felt so guilty and afraid to lose him. Fortunately, he is willing to forgive me. I don't know how to describe how it feels, but millions of thank you, to him, for his kindness and love.
As I have mentioned before, he's such a busy guy with tons of works everyday. No matter how busy he is, he always try to make time for me. Now, I know how to differentiate sincerity. Those who love you sincerely will make time for you, no matter how busy he/she is. He always place my safety on the top of priorities. I guess I can understand why girls are going after him, as he is really almost a perfect guy.
Although he always scold me (politely, he gets worried to be true) that I trust people easily, and told me not to trust him completely as well. I don't know why, I know him not long indeed, but I just feel secure whenever he is around me. He's like a dad, a brother, a teacher, a best friend and a boyfriend as well.
We spent half day together yesterday. Had lunch at Queensbay and met his sister and bro-in-law. I really like Jean's smile, so beautiful. I can't wait to see her baby. :) hehe. We just went for groceries after lunch, Now, I realized that shopping for groceries can be so happy one. It makes us know each other more actually. Followed him to his shop lot which is still under renovation, no matter where he went to, he just check on me every 5 minutes I guess. I haven't met anyone so caring before, I'll try my best to reduce his worry, as I really wish to see him live freely and happily everyday.
We spent time to watch a movie 'Dear John'. It supposed to be a romance movie but somehow we just laughed at it. Coincidentally, there were so many similarities on us and the story. He just sat beside me, and I felt really comfortable and secure. Felt like a princess chewing the digestive biscuits while watching the movie. Hehe.
Left his place for dinner around 8pm at sushi king, he was not feeling well. That's the first time I realized that I would feel worried for someone after so long. I guess work and business stressed him out, so his blood pressure is going up and gastric keeps on attacking him. If time can be borrowed, I will just give all my free time to him, so that he can sleep well. Sigh.
This fella always look at me. I felt like pinching him already.
Dear John,
I know you will read this, but this is not everything. I wish, I can tell you more in person one day.
Don't laugh!! Don't smile!! Cause I can't see it now. >.<
With love,
Jessie

The Worst Day of the Year
This is the worst day of the year and I rarely get into this kind of mood.
It was basically my own fault that I forgot to tell John I was home. I was having a very bad migraine and immediately taken medicine after shower. I still keep replying him while I can and fell asleep after a while, until late night.
I saw his message and whatsapp, I knew he got worried and I just replied him that I was fine but just fell asleep. I went back to sleep as my head was still so painful. He replied ok, take care. Damn me. I knew he was not okay at all. Sigh.
We didn't talk much yesterday and seriously I felt so down the whole day. Bang a wall as I accidentally stepped on the accelerator. It was really a bad day. Sigh.
Woke up with tears while reading his text, saying that we are not on the same page and he was so worried about me but I couldn't understand about him when he couldn't contact me. I really feel so bad when I know he cares about me but I really not doing that purposely. I didn't mean to make him to get so worried. Probably, he feels insecure as he doesn't see me putting any effort in this, that I never called him and I never asked him out. It's just something that make me hesitate and dare not to move any step further.
I just don't want to make him feel too sad when he knows the truth.
I can't deny that he already occupied a space in my heart even I tried so hard to avoid, but I just think that I can't be so selfish and just hang out with him whenever I like, but hurt him at the end with the mistake I have done. If he is not a kind person, I wouldn't have to be so suffer of being hesitate.
I'm so sorry John. You probably won't be so confused and suffered if I could tell you earlier.
Love,
Jessie

The One Sitting Opposite Me Now
Alright, I'm doing nothing now while sitting in front of my laptop just to accompany someone to do his works.
The one sitting opposite to me right now has a very common name, BUT, he is totally a unique guy.
At the moment, I just want to write down what we have done together today, as I'm very forgetful but somehow I wish to keep the memory.
He is a very busy guy, works as a Business Financial Analyst and running his own business at the same time. He had a really rough day yesterday, woke up in the early morning like 5.30am and had a few meetings until late night. He asked me out today in the early morning as well. At first, I thought we were going for breakfast, but at the end he brought me to Penang Hill for sunrise. He is just like knowing me very well, but we actually met 7 weeks ago, while we are like knowing each other for 7years. I like to go anywhere close to the nature, watching sunrise with cool air and breathtaking scenery is really awesome!! The last time I watched sunrise on top of the hill was 5years ago.
I only remember I gotta send mom to temple to pray when we were half way to breakfast. And then, he just offered me to take along my mom and send us back later. He's not having a lot of free time I know, but he just wanted to spend his time with me. He purposely bought the biscuits for my mom and brought us for Baskin Robins and then lunch.
Eventually, I really wish that I can do something for him and I don't know since when I feel like doing something for him. He once told me that, when he is stressed out, he wishes to talk to someone, or having someone being there for him, even she is not doing anything at all, just simply hope that someone is there when he works or study. Hence, that's why I'm here. I'm not having nothing to do as well, but at the moment he asked for my time, I just felt like to accompany him, even I know that I got nothing to do.
We haven't talked for almost 2 hours, simply just he is doing his works, and I'm sitting here to surf the net and writing this blog. I've never do my works together with a guy like this. I think I wouldn't like this kind of dating if it happened 5 years ago, but now, I kinda enjoy it. Probably, people change from time to time, and eventually I prefer a steady & stable relationship nowadays which is not as dramatic as the previous one.
I don't know how things will go, anyhow, I really wanna say thanks to him as he makes me feel so special.
Happy reading.

A Gentleman
I used to watch TVB dramas since my 6 and I found the gentlemen in the drama charming. As time goes by, I grown up and realized that the reality is always different from the dramas. That were really just dramatic stories when I look at those guys around me, including my good friends.
Perhaps, we were still young and guys don't know their roles yet. Blame no one, but time. Lol.
8 August 2014, I met a guy who is the good friend of my friend. The first impression about him was, he is shy. Lol. Honestly, I just find that a shy guy (introverts) is cute!! Perhaps, I'm a lil psycho as I like to tease them intentionally. hahaha.
We had dinner together with another 2 friends and went for a movie and played in Escape Room as well. We left the place around 1am and he walked me to the parking place. I didn't expect him to walk me there seriously, as that's not the culture in Penang. That impressed me a lot.
We hung out for dinner again the following week, I arrived at the place first and he came later with Melvin. Jasmine was on her way, and this guy went out from the restaurant to wait for Jasmine even he was starved already. He was waiting out there for around 10 mins until Jasmine arrived at the place but she was kinda unhappy. Probably guys in this place dont do that and Jasmine found it unnecessary for him to do that. However, I personally think this guy is really a kind person as he thinks for others. It's not obligated for him to starve himself and wait for the girl actually, pity him.
He is the most gentle guy I have ever met. A mature kind of gentleman who is being nice to others without expect anything in return.
I'm proud to have this friend, really.

Escape Room
Hello guys!! I'm back after a month!! It was a busy month of July as my besties came back from Singapore and I have promised her to reserve all my free time for her.
Anyway, I'm back!
Let's share something still new with you guys.
Penang has actually not many things to do other than exploring the cafes in town.
One of my friend invited me to try Escape Room together last Friday and we just went after movie. Let me tell you guys, it's Chinese July now (Ghost month), and we entered the escape rooms at 11pm until 1am!!!
Hell yeah! That sounds crazy right?! But it was quite fun.
Fortunately, we have John de investigator!! Pro skills weih.... Well done!
Jasmine cried halfway as she has been freaked out by the bloody women & probably Jelvin scared her cause he got shocked and shouted as well.
And I was just being so noob in the rooms as my brain frozen and I was actually, scared!!!!! T.T

Ideal Woman
Alright alright, I know nothing is perfect in the world and I'm not a perfectionist as well. Well, I always figure the picture of an ideal woman and wish I can be like that in the future.
A real ideal woman in my mind should be one with positive mindset. She should be able to stand up again after every single fall instead of just keep crying at the same spot without doing anything else. Be tough but not rude is another important ability a ideal woman should have. Talking with all rude words like men does not bring any cool impression actually and reproach one at the public is the most stupid action of a woman as well. A tough woman should be the one who welcome the sunrise with her best smile in the morning even she has cried herself to sleep last night.
Work is something common in this century for women. Believe me, a working woman is more attractive than those in the house. However, I don't think I gotta be super outstanding than the men in my industry to be attractive. The charm of a ideal woman should be the habits built since her childhood. The positive attitude during the working hours and the sporting characteristic in social life. I might feel not to help everyone of them who request for my assistance, but definitely not to make things worse.
A great woman should be one loving the nature. The world is too beautiful to explore and too much knowledge to learn. Take deep breathe and walk through the rainforest does not sound bore compared to shopping in the mall I think. Ideal woman should be willing to walk and continue her journey even if she can not drive. Walking slow along the road is always the best way to see the world and to think about life. A ideal woman should learn to appreciate every creature on the earth.
I always imagine what kind of wife I will be in the future. Hopefully, I can be a gentle wife who can help my husband in every aspect, family nor work, neither. I have a weird characteristic as I like to study the nutrients of foods. I always tell my friends the functions of the foods they ate and the consequences of excessive dosage and deficiency of that particular nutrient. Probably, I'll make many dishes for my husband and kids as I always feel that is the most happy thing watching the love ones eating. There is one more thing I think a good wife should know is the massage skill. Massaging the head, neck and shoulder of your soul mate after his rough working days is a powerful catalyst.
A perfect woman should have a true heart. A kind heart which is willing to trust and a sincere heart to love. Everyone should be fair to gain your trust before you find they hurt you. Doubting and frequent suspect is tiring as I think life is short and no point to torture myself with the fault of others. Being an understanding individual is another big trait of a perfect woman. Putting ourselves in others' shoes does not sound difficult actually if you willing to sacrifice the selfishness. Real woman should be able to love again even they have been hurt and had a very hard time. A woman without the ability to love and the passion to live is like a wilt rose no matter how much make up you can put on.
Life is wonderful even we have hard time, love is fearless even we shed tears.
Love life, the sign of heartbeats.
I pray to God, grant me power and wisdom to be the ideal woman in my mind.
With Love,
Jessie

Parenting
Let's talk about something different today.
First of all, I shall make a simple introduction regarding to my current job. I'm an executive secretary of Malaysia Entrepreneurs' Development Association. This is a non-profit organization which encourages joint ventures among the young entrepreneurs of all races and to identify opportunities. We aim to facilitate the establishment of strategic alliances and networks among entrepreneurs and executives.
My job is to play the role of supporting all the entrepreneurs during the operations and events. I find it very challenging as I need to deal with different peoples who have different traits of their own. This is not the important thing regarding to my job, but what I've encountered today.
Our association has organized an event 'A Date with Master' a few times in the past 6 months. One of the speaker who named Dr. Jimmy Lim, the CEO of Takasima has purchased 500 booklets of his own biography printed by us, and from the profit our association decided to make a donation of RM 2,500 to SJK (C) Aik Hua as charity.
I received a call from my chairman Mr. Tan Lay Seong in the morning and quickly search for the location of the school as I actually did not expect he would bring me together. War began as I suddenly had lots of things to prepare in 10 minutes!! (my chairman expects we work with light speed, hahahha!!)
We drove all the way from Bayan Lepas to town and both of us scratched our heads when we came to the small lane. Ish. Waze doesn't show the right way once in a while! Luckily he did not scold me. So we just turned here and there, left and right, and finally we found the school.
Today, I saw another version of chairman. The first time he jokes, telling something surprising me, and smiled wide in the photo. (This is not important as well)
Finally, we met the headmistress. Chairman & vice chairman started to interview the headmistress. Here comes the most important part of today.
SJK (C) Aik Hua is a special primary school for those kids who are not be able to take good care of themselves as most of them are having Down's Syndrome, depression, hyperactive and some of them can't even speak a phrase. They get pissed easily and hurt themselves, or hurt their parents either.
All the teachers in this school are really great teachers as the patience they gotta pay to the kids are doubled up. There's not many people willing to help them. Some of their parents just left them behind when they noticed their children is not behaving like how the normal kids use to be.
But you know, they know things and understand what we are talking about. They couldn't speak but they hug and kiss the headmistress. According to the headmistress, the teachers tried their best to educate the kids with their special education program, especially in the aspect of respectation and discipline. Somehow, kids came back with all nonsense attitudes on the next day.
They realized the parents were not co-operative with the school. They did not educate their kids about respectation and just let them do whatever they like. Sooner or later, they don't even look their parents in their eyes. Social issue probably raised from these. Parents might not think that is a big issue if kids are being disobedient when they are young. But, what about 20, 30, 40 or 50 years later? Who can forsee the consequences?
I was thinking what kind of life they live in the future if they are not well educated at the young stage. I mean in terms of discipline and humanity.
The conversations made me feel like crying just now as I recall how my parents educated me when I was a kid. My dad is a very kind person, I mean he is kind to everyone and don't take advantage of the others and stupidity honest. He didn't bother much about me actually but he hates kids being calculative at this young age, this is not how a kid should behave he told me.
My mom is the main player of moulding me actually. She caned me when I fight against her orally. Mom used to sit behind me when I had my handwriting practice during kindergarten period. There were numerous knocks on my head when she saw messy writing and re-writing came next. I never missed out greeting the relatives when there's family gathering.
She told me all her stories during her childhood, and that's what made me feel that I'm really lucky enough to born in this century. We are having all good foods, cozy bed & pillows, sophisticated devices and convenience transports. What the hell you are not satisfy with your life? I don't mean to discourage people chasing after their dreams or what they wants, but appreciate what we have.
I'm not from a rich family, but I'm super proud to have my parents given a strict childhood to me. They taught me how to think and analyse instead of throwing me tons of theories only.
For those parents who ever abandoned your kids, probabaly you had a very hard time at the moment, but that's not what you should do!!
Don't ever try to create a life when you just feel like having some fun. That's a living creature which might live in this world for few decades or even a century!!
This simply my personal thought, no one force you to agree.
I did not regret to visit the school.
Love life, live life.

The conversations made me feel like crying just now as I recall how my parents educated me when I was a kid. My dad is a very kind person, I mean he is kind to everyone and don't take advantage of the others and stupidity honest. He didn't bother much about me actually but he hates kids being calculative at this young age, this is not how a kid should behave he told me.
My mom is the main player of moulding me actually. She caned me when I fight against her orally. Mom used to sit behind me when I had my handwriting practice during kindergarten period. There were numerous knocks on my head when she saw messy writing and re-writing came next. I never missed out greeting the relatives when there's family gathering.
She told me all her stories during her childhood, and that's what made me feel that I'm really lucky enough to born in this century. We are having all good foods, cozy bed & pillows, sophisticated devices and convenience transports. What the hell you are not satisfy with your life? I don't mean to discourage people chasing after their dreams or what they wants, but appreciate what we have.
I'm not from a rich family, but I'm super proud to have my parents given a strict childhood to me. They taught me how to think and analyse instead of throwing me tons of theories only.
For those parents who ever abandoned your kids, probabaly you had a very hard time at the moment, but that's not what you should do!!
Don't ever try to create a life when you just feel like having some fun. That's a living creature which might live in this world for few decades or even a century!!
This simply my personal thought, no one force you to agree.
I did not regret to visit the school.
Love life, live life.

The Merlion City: Singapore
It was a random plan to explore Singapore actually when I had nothing to do and found life was boring. Haha! We just decided to book the flight ticket in one day from the first second when I came up with this idea.
Here we go!!
Not the first time to go onboard of course and we just walked around to have our breakfast in the airport before departure. It takes about 70minutes to reach Singapore from Penang. It was a sunny day and we can see borderless seaview with turqoise color of the water from the aircraft!!
The first destination of the trip was Orchard Road, shopping definitely!! We had our lunch in Ion Mall and shopped a lots. Then walked along the Orchard Road and we found the icecream bread at the sidewalk, we finished 2 for each of us in just 10mins. Got back to hotel around 10pm local time.

The next morning we just took a simple breakfast at the mamak stall beside the hotel. It costs similarly like the food in Penang, however, the taste is 10 times worse than Penang. (As you know, Penangites have super strict tongue) It took about 10 mins walk to the bus station and 15mins to the MRT station and another 1 hour 20 mins to reach Vivo City. We passed by the industrial area, Raffles Place, Chinatown, Lil India & Marina Bay along the journey.
Yeah!! We were heading to Sentosa Island & Universal Studio Singapore!!! (Screaming for joys)
Trademark of Universal Studio
Walked around the Vivo City while climbing up to the 4th floor to purchase train tickets. (There were escalators in the mall, no worries guys!) Omg! The crowd was scary even it was weekday!! I couldn't imagine how much profit Singaporean could make in one day.
Tourist Spot of Photo Taking
The most exciting moment has come!! We're just right in front the main entrance of USS!!! Argh!! I just couldn't get a word to describe the feeling of 3 stupid kiddos! The constructions and renovations of the buildings, the designs and the layouts of the stalls, the moving robots and walking cartoons, everything just great!! Awesome experience!
Traffic accident probably happens due to us

I love the castle the most where a hulk display was built in front of the castle. We queued up and got ready to enter for 4D movie!! Oh! I got wet and spiders climbed all over my body!! T.T But, I love the movie!
Act like tourists again
After lunch, we went to see Merlion & my favourite animal!! Dolphin! Took a photo with it as well and pat on her head!!! Then we proceed to the Underwater World Singapore.
We spent one whole day in Universal Studio Singapore and walked around Fullerton Square for a while on the way back to hotel.

I'll definitely go back again for the rest of the destinations that I haven't paid my visit.
Tongue Temptation: Levain Boulangerie Patisserie
I was so happy before arriving at KL as my best friend promised to bring me to this long waited bakery in town!!
Yee Yean (my best friend) picked me up from KL central around 12.30pm and we took about 18mins drive to reach out destination, Levain!!
Excitement attacked me when I stepped into the bakery as what presented in my eyes were all pastry & cakes!!! Nearly collapse when I saw those beautiful fruit cakes and colorful macarons!
Don't ever asked me why the hell girls like sweet stuffs, I don't feel like knowing as I think we simply born for that, alright?
We quickly grab a seat as the crowd could make you stand for hours if you keep lingering around.
I walked around the bakery and picking up a few items in about 5 mins!! hehe.

South Vietnam Getaway: Ho Chi Minh & Da Lat
First thing I want to say, VIETNAM IS AWESOME!!! ♥
13 July 2013
13 July 2013
I arrived at the Penang International Airport at 9.30 pm and waited to board after dinner at McCafe. Flight departed at 11.30 pm after 10 minutes delayed due to the unfriendly weather of heavy downpour. 12.35 am of 14 July, flight arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT). Omg, there were so crowded in the airport, but most of the people there were foreigners.
~ Penang International Airport ~
I immediately grabbed a cheeseburger from McDonald due to starvation! hahaha.. excitement leads to fast-hunger!! I decided to overnight at LCCT as we needed to board at 7 am. The night was so long cause I had nothing much to do in the airport especially I was not allowed to fall asleep! Damn, I'll never overnight in the airport alone once again! No way!
p/s: thanks ken's company until 4 am!! hahaha... unfortunately, you don't like coffee. nothing back for you.
One thing worthed to be happy, Yean & Aim were on their way to airport at 4.30 am!!! Thank God! At least, I did not need to stare at those Bangladesh for too long after ending the chat with ken! XD Went for a quick wash up around 5 am and had our breakfast at Old Town LCCT. I personally suggest food franchisers to run their business in the airport, doubtlessly to gain profit!!
Yean & Aim on the way
14 July (Day 1)
We departed at 7 am and arrived at the Saigon Airport of Ho Chi Minh City at 7.25 am local time (8.25 am Malaysia hour) as the time of HCMC is one hour slower than Malaysia. The first most amazing thing happened in just 2 minutes after we got down from the coach!! Here we came to the round-about in front of the Ben Tanh Market and we tried to cross over the big road. Hey! How we gonna cross that road huh?? There was no traffic light at all and the bikes were all speeding so fast, non-stop!! Then we saw a few of local Vietnameses just walked across the road and we just heard the riders and drivers bombing their horns!!!! Oh ya, that's how they crossed the road like how i used to be in Penang! hahaha! Here we go! We tried to walked slowly and amazingly the vehicles slowed down their speed!! Yup! We reached the market safely. Next, we lost in the market as too many things appeared in front of us suddenly. The market was really crowded with many stalls set up there. Obviously, the very first thing was to grab some local food as our late breakfast!! Ngek ngek! Shrimp Raw Spring Rolls, Fried Pork and Fish Paste Slices, and local Vietnamese noodles (didn't know what it called), btw, the soup was great! We walked along the street beside the Flea Market (Ben Tanh) as we thought of walking to our hotel. We stopped at the Reunification Palace of Saigon and started to snap photos. The renovation of Vincom Centre was so attractive and we decided to take a quick walk in the centre, however we did not manage to get anything out from there as the prices of the goods were really very long figures. We passed by Dong Khoi Street and Diamond Plaza as well in the District 1 before reaching a bookstore for map. Sigh! We then found out the hotel was actually very far from the spot we arrived and finally forced to call a cab to send us there. After checked-in at the hotel reception, we spent around 3 hours to take a nap and wash up. We took our super great lunch around local time of 3.30 pm after getting a recommendation from the receptionist (very beautiful Vietnamese lady yo! XD) It was around 5 pm when we finished the superb beef noodles (pho) and I started to feel dizzy and headache with cold sweat all damped my shirt. Yean & Aim continued their walks along the street for fashion boutiques, while me, decided to get back to hotel room for a throw up due to migraine. Gargh! I slept in the hotel from 5.30 pm until 11.30 pm and so I missed the Water Puppet Show. Fortunately, my lovely girlfriend and Aim brought some good fruits back for me as dinner, thank you! Muackss! The pink guava was really soft and juicy although the seeds were really hard and probably could break your teeth if you insist to chew it. Papaya looks normal but the taste would definitely amaze you with its' sweetness and juicy bits. After finishing the pink guava we just started to talk with pillows.

Remarks: The light of the hotel room was dull, the washroom was clean actually but the light was really limited. Air-conditioner wasn't in good condition as it produced a very noisy sound. The female receptionist was very helpful, gentle and polite, while the male receptionist was careless as he did not return my passport to me after I finished making payment. I almost needed to stayed permanently in HCM. Thank God, I got it back with the blessings.

15 July (Day 2)
We had our breakfast at the hotel with a very simple meal which is local instant cooked soup noodles. Luckily, the taste wasn't that bad and I fell in love with their local instant noodles. hehe. After washing up we call a cab to War Remnant Museum of HCM at District 3. We reached there around local time 12.30 noon and it was closed for lunch hour until 1.30 pm. Due to the raining day, we ran into a cafe to wait for the museum reopen. Oh gosh! You can never imagined there's such a nice hidden cafe in this busy city. It looks like a very small and simple cafe from outside, but it was a vintage classic cafe restaurant with their traditional Vietnamese style of renovation and displays. The prices of the food & beverages were affordable and it tasted great!! Here, I tried the Vietnamese Milk Coffee, FANTABULOUS! ^O^ Other than the coffee, we ordered a dessert called Fruity Milk Jelly and local black sesame with a total bill costs 140,000 VND including service charge and government tax of 5% and 10% respectively. ♥ ♥ ♥

Here we came to the War Remnant Museum with the entry ticket of 40,000 VND/ person. Just 5 minutes after we entered the museum, it rained like dogs and cats again, hence we forced to walk around indoor for photos in the museum. Found out what has happened in the recent decades after the military war with Agent Orange in Vietnam. The effect of the Agent Orange due to the war has brought so much suffer and grief to the later generations of the victims. The offspring of the victims were all in mutated condition and majority born to be retarded, handicapped, disabled and etc. I sincerely feel guilty of looking at all the photos, seeing these people were trying so hard to survive, to learn new things, and to do as much as contribution to the society of theirs. I read a letter for the President of United State, Barack Obama from a young girl who are the only child of the Agent Orange's victims. The synopsis was like the girls tried very hard to study until she got a Master Degree in Pharmacy and Medical as well, but she was advised to give up of being a doctor as she has no arms and legs. Thus, she can hardly help her people in this country even she has all these knowledge. She sincerely asks for more helps from President Obama, and treats her people well like how he used to treat his daughter. She believes that President Obama shall love the people of the world like how he loves his daughter, because HE is the father of the world. My tears were rolling in my eyes while reading the letter and wondering what can we actually do to help them? If we are feeling so suffer just because of very small things when we are all healthy, then what kind of sadness and pain are playing in the hearts of these victims? I sincerely pray to God, may them obtain your graces and blessings.

We left around 3 pm and walked to the Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon Central Post Office. It took us about 10 minutes walk from the museum to cathedral. The building of the cathedral is really very beautiful and we took many shots from there. The weather was not in good mood and so we changed our destination to the central post office where it is located just right beside the cathedral. There was kinda crowded in the post office, Yean & Aim walked around in the compartments while I chose a postcard to send back Malaysia. We thought to pay a visit to Sky Bar directly from post office, however, we did not succeed to get up due to the special occasion held in the lounge and we did not make prior reservation. *sob sob* It's alright, we walked around that area and got some good food yo! We quickly pack our stuffs and bathed to rush our night bus to Da Lat, in the central Vietnam at Phuong Trang Bus Station.

16 July (Day 3)
I was shocked actually when I got into the bus, it was a sleeper bus with double decks. I didn't manage to fall asleep at all. People were snoring whole night, and I kept staying awake throughout the night to watch the starry sky and to pray hard for getting back my passport when I arrive at Da Lat (anxiety). T.T 5 am local time, we arrived at the bus station of Da Lat. What the hack yo!! It was freezing cold man! I remembered that the temperature should be 24-29 degree Celsius according to weather forecast what! How could it changed so much differently??? -.- We kept shivering and doing some exercises while waiting to collect my passport!! Here we came to a critical situation after keeping my passport. We tried to ask around to get our direction to town, but you know, no one understands English!! I was almost cried cause they cannot understand any other languages besides their local language. We gave up and tried to walked down to town. God is everywhere, here we met the guardian angel!! So kind and friendly of her to buy us 2 maps for free!! She helped us to bargain with the cab driver and we went down to town together. After saying goodbye, we just simply entered a cafe to grab our first breakfast in Da Lat. Aww, a cup of hot coffee in this cold morning was seriously warm!! Very special way of them to prepare the coffee, I totally enjoyed the coffee and drank it drip by drip like how Janis reminded me. :) We rented two bikes after the breakfast and traveled to the cathedral nearby. Next stop was the Hang Nga House (Crazy House) nearby the Sammy Hotel Da Lat. This is the most unique and fantastic art building I have ever seen with my naked eyes. There were a few chambers in the guesthouse with different theme renovation to beautify the building. We have taken many photos there and spent about 2 hours squeezing through the guesthouse due to the very narrow tunnel and small staircases. ♥ ♥ ♥

We rushed to the hotel in the Golf Valley to check-in and rest before lunch and next tours. The hotel was basically alright with only the window was too small and the door of balcony was spoiled. We then grabbed our lunch somewhere nearby the Da Lat Market, the food was not that good with a little more expensive than in HCMC. After lunch, we quickly rid up the hill to visit the Da Lat Flower Farm and Valley of Love. Gosh! You will never ever know how beautiful God's creation can be if you never been here. We just keep on taking photos, worrying the capacity of the camera's memory might be limited. LOL. At night, we did not take a proper dinner. We just took light food and went for snacks all the way. Got into a very nice coffee house named Windmills with France renovation and fresh roses on every table. Yean kept on playing with the roses, pity rosy. XD We were there to have chocolate drinks and chit chat around while Aim talking with his mom and sister back in Malaysia. We left the coffee house around 10.30 pm local time and headed to the night market for snacks as supper!! We tried the local hot soy milk, egg creeps and coconut dessert. Slept around 1 am midnight.

p/s: You are suggested to learn basic Vietnamese language before you pay a visit here, cause majority of the local people cannot understand or even speak English. Make sure you call a cab earlier before your departure in case the receptionist did not make a good arrangement, cause I almost missed my bus back to HCMC.

17 July (Day 4)
As usual, we woke up at 8.30 am to have our breakfast at the hotel. We had Vietnamese breakfast in Golf 1 Hotel. After that we rid to Domaine de Marie Church. The church was really a very beautiful creature with nice scenery as it is built up on the hill. After lunch, we headed to the Da Lat Railway Station. I guess this is the hot spot for the marry couples to have their bridal shooting as we saw many couples there. Many great photos we have taken, but you will need to refer to another blog for the funky pictures. Then we rid all the way from town to the bus station again to get up to another hill for cable car. When reached the top of the cable car station, we spoke nothing but shouted for the joys of breathtaking superb scenery from hill!!! It was just like a Eastern Greece and Small Paris!! I find no way to describe the beauty of this town due to my limited vocabulary. We bought the tickets for 60,000 VND /person for round trip. The view along the journey down to the hill was really awesome, just like the view of Genting Highlands, Malaysia if you have ever been there. When we finally arrived at the Truc Lam Pagoda, another thing happened. With the scene displayed in my eyes, I wondered how many more hidden wonderland in Vietnam!!!????? I just can't imagine how they made this and how many more places that I don't know on this ground.. Aww, too lovely. We left with heavy hearts.

We got back to the night market again, that night, we tried all the snacks at sidewalks! Hah! The BBQ meats, the coconut floss rolls, the baked cassava biscuits, pancake, egg creeps and etc. Too little time for us and too limited space of our stomachs!! T.T We walked back to hotel around 7 pm and washed up to get ready back to HCMC with night bus again.

We arrived at the HCMC in the early morning and looked for a better hotel around Ben Tanh Flea Market. We then shopped in a mall in District 5 and came back to town for dinner and wash up again. Haha! Here we had a very fun night in HCMC as we chilled in the Saigon SkyBar on top of the 27th floor of the building at the centre of the city. Great experience!! We spent around 3 hours there and left at 11.30 pm.

We slept until 8.30 am and rushed to breakfast again, haha! Very nice buffet breakfast. After the breakfast we headed to the Benh Tanh Market again to bring back some coffee. The Coffee Prince was kinda friendly, haha!! He gave a very nice service and of course we got some discount as we bought quite many coffee from him. He even brewed some coffee and made milk coffee for us FOC. I highly recommend this coffee stall if you guys would like to purchase good quality of coffee from HCM. We left hotel at 2 pm local time and waited to on board in Saigon International Airport. Flight has been delayed for 20 minutes as it is a very common phenomena of AirAsia Airline. LOL. We departed at 5 pm local time of Vietnam and arrived LCCT at 8 pm Malaysia time. I have to transit back to Penang, hence I grabbed my dinner in LCCT again and back to Penang at 11 pm. Fianlly I got home at 11.53 pm and greeted someone before 12 am.
Remember to visit here for coffee discount
Saigon Airport
