back from hanoi and it wasn't very pretty. didn't enjoy the city very much but the 'outsides' were the best parts of the trip. for those thinking of heading there, halong bay is a MUST visit. just skip cat cat island and stick to the 2-day tour, that'd be good enough. another MUST is the night train to lao cai (the train's just for the experience) and a trek at sapa. wanted to go for the 5-day one which covers the tallest peak in vietnam but we just didn't have the time.

shall plan for a backpacking trip through cambodia, laos, vietnam, china and finishing off at nepal. who would like to sponsor me?

at work now and i've realised there just ain't enough time left in the year to cover what i want to do! retreat in the next three days, tai's 'farewell' party right after that, countdown party the following day. and somewhere in-between, i've got to tidy my room, clean my room finish up the scrapbook on the trip, train for napfa, clear debts, buy lens and flash and of course, leaving time for the girl and myself.

what's worse? i'm broke. quite. shall sit down tonight and decide on which lens to get and sort my priorities. there goes my sleep.

using the mac G5 and it's fantastic! viewed some photos online and the colour schemes displayed is awesome!

shall add it to my wishlist. WISH list, it'll prob never come true anyway-judging by the way i shop. LOL

oh! there's one more thing i NEED to complain about. people have been making comments about MDA being such a bitch about the movie ratings. and now i know what the fuss is all about. how the heck can the heartbreak kid be R21? how can saw IV possibly be R21 when the previous three sequels have been M18? there's many more but i can't think of them off the top of my head.

the bloddy heck, it must be the parents writing into the press and the MDA and complaining about the media that's being presented to their kids. COME ON! the world is changing and if you wanna stay in your 70s/80s lifestyle, go and crawl back under that fucking rock that you've been hiding under all along!

and to the MDA, you've got to do better than that.

it's 6:29 PM now
