Super Goody Weekend...
Super Goody Weekend...
Had a fantastic weekend..haven't had such a good time in Vietnam in a while..
Yesterday (Sat), Piggy & I watched movie for the 1st time in Vietnam! Yes, we went to watch MI-3. It was really great! I think I haven't caught a movie with Piggy for a long, long time. Heee..
Then we went to this cafe nearby to drink coffee..although the drinks sucked, but at least, for almost the whole day, we had time to ourselves and did things that we would normally have done in Singapore. Felt really happy..but of course, this is not to say we are contented staying here. Piggy told me he wants to get out of this place real soon...and I am so happy to hear that!! Yes, my dear piggy, I knew he would feel the same way as I did..heehee...
Then, Piggy asked the maid to bring me to the nearby "jie shi", i.e. street markets to shop shop and I bought some really nice and cheap stuff there..was thinking maybe my friends and I can start an online biz if I can discover enough cheap places selling nice stuff which Singaporeans would buy..heehee..Shall post up the pics soon cuz the stuff are in the wash...
Then, we also discovered this nice eating place, called "Pho 24" selling really nice beef noodles and the coffee and avocado drink there simply rocks!! And the price rocks equally, with a big bowl of noodles costing only 24,000 VND, i.e. SGD$2.40 (hence the name Pho "24"). Was joking with piggy that we could open such a place in Singapore & call it "Pho 48" since it's not economical to sell beef noodles for SGD$2.40 in a restaurant or cafe. I like the place and I think it's one place we will visit again.
Some days back, we also discovered this pizza place opposite Omni Hotel, which sells pizza (of course!), pasta, fried rice and other western food. The shop looks air-conditoned from the outside but when you step in, you realise that it's actually open-air with lots of fan blowing cold spurts of water around..interesting little place and the food didn't taste too bad. And where can you get pizza for like SGD$5?
I really enjoy time alone with Piggy, exploring places, discovering new eateries and just simply having time to ourselves...cuz Piggy & I are such foodies, esp Piggy and he can eat himself bloated and still continue eating..haha..Actually, it would be good if we had more time to explore the little nooks and crannies of Vietnam. Yup, although we both dislike this place and are dying more than anything to jet back to Singapore, since we are here, this place is still worth exploring, since it is to some people, quite an exotic place to be in. Hopefully, when Piggy has time, we can visit the beautiful beaches of Nachang...
Piggy had recently gotten into this photo-taking craze..hmm..actually, he always had this love for photo taking, but recently, he has been snapping just about anything in sight, from buildings to stray animals to grasses and flowers...why?? Cuz just last month, his friend helped him buy a new camera, which I brought back for him...here is his treasure and pride, his beam of joy..
Before Piggy bought this camera, he was contemplating whether he should buy it, and we were discussing whether it was a worthy investment. In the end, we both felt it was something we would buy sooner or later, cuz I told Piggy that next time, when we have a baby, he should buy a good camera and take lots of lovely pics of our future bundle of joy..then he said, he should start practising first..and so....this camera came along..haha
