Alright, time for some updates.
School starts today and I hope that the semester will be fun. I am trying to pull my GPA up as high as possible. I want to graduate with a decent GPA. ;D
I came back from Japan on the 22nd October and it was incredibly fun. I did lot of shopping for my plastic models. The food, scenery and historical sites are nice. The culture there is as good as usual, I like their culture. The hotel I stayed in was a 3 1/2 star hotel but the service and design was so beautiful I think it deserve more stars. The weather was pretty cooling, about 16 degree Celsius.
The things over there are pretty expensive if you bother to convert the price tag from Japanese yen to Singapore dollars. However, the things over there are worth spending on.
7 hours flight to Japan can be extremely boring. I watched 4 movies on board before I reached the destination. However, I didn't really mind because ANA is a good a airline.
I will definitely be flying back to Japan in the future and shop more. XD

After returning from Vietnam for 2 weeks, it is time to fly to Japan, Tokyo. The main objective there is to take photos, videos and eat !!!! My flight is at 2330 (GMT+8). Most probably I will be reaching Japan at around 0600~0700. I hope that it will be a fun trip, it has been 2 years since I last went to Japan. XD

Today, I managed to drag myself out of the house ever since I came back from Vietnam. I had a hair cut and bought my HD-HVR 1900 Hauppauge TV recorder from Funan. However, everything seems so slow even though life in Singapore is suppose to be fast. I grew impatient waiting a train for 6 mins which never happened to me....
Anyway, pictures of my new recorder !!! I can finally record my gameplay off PS3 and some of the TV shows I can not afford to miss !!! XD
Although I am not really enthusiastic about this function but this little thing is capable of turning my laptop into a TV ! It is a TV tuner and I can record it while I'm watching it ! I guess spending $250 on this small thing is a good investment. I thought of getting the Hauppauge HD PVR. However,I think I will start off with something small first. =D

Vietnam !!!
To my surprise, this is my 200th post !!! Initially I started blogging for fun, I never thought that my blog would survive this long and what's more ? I am back from Vietnam !!! What a coincidence. ;D
Anyway, the 2 weeks I spent in Vietnam was a good one. I went to Ben Tre Province. The scenery there is very beautiful, especially the sky, it is totally different from the sky you see in Singapore. The people there are very friendly and hospitable. The lifestyle over there is very simple and different from ours. Although, it is a rural area, the people over there are very happy. Personally, I adapt very quickly. So I do not really have much of a problem fitting into the lifestyle over there.
Of course, I didn't went there just to relax. My friends and I went with the school on a YEP expedition with YMCA to build a courtyard for a primary school and teach the student English. Although I was in the construction team all the time, I sometimes take a look at the classes during my break. The students over there are very eager to learn, unlike us, who complains almost everything in school. Everyday, I see students fight, however, it seems more like a bonding session for them rather than a violent fight. The construction is very new to all of us, it can be tiring but it is nothing I can't do. >=)
I met four YMCA Vietnam volunteers over there,Phuong ,My ,Bang and Cherry. They spent all 14 days with us doing the same thing and translating for us. They are all very friendly and nice people. I really appreciate their help and they made this trip an enjoyable one.
Of course, it's is not just my class who went there. There people from MOT, ME and PDI. They also made this trip an enjoyable one. I met new friends and bonded deeper with my current ones. The trip was such a fun one that I don't mind extending it.
At the airport and the cultural exchange night, people teared and cried, it is hard to say goodbye after spending 2 weeks together. Although the trip has ended, all of us will hold such memories dearly. Will we meet again ? Will we go back to Vietnam once again ? No one knows whether or not it will happen, we will just pray for answer....
