hey guys... well last night i was thinking to myself that i was going to go to vietnam all quietly without a sound without commotion... yea yea well all emo huh... well guess what i didnt even have a chance to think about that....
it all began like this....
the alarm was screaming its head off and i thought to myself man my bro has some weird choice of alarms... cant he switch that thing off... so i slowly started to drift away back to sleep... then suddenly something jolted me... "joel... joel..." i replied in a muffled slur of speach "yeeeeaaa" as i slowly processed the half drawn breath voice, i realised it was my brother calling me from the bed... then he replied "do you know it is 5.45?" for a split second i was stunned... then he continued... "my alarm rings at 5.45"... "OH CRAP" i literally jumped out of bed and rushed to get changed up.... you see my flight was at 7.25am and i had asked a cab to pick me at 5.40 and for the past 10mins my neighbour had been frantically trying to get my attention to the cabbie that had been waiting outside for some time now... i washed up, changed up, grabbed my bags, rushed out of the house, all in a matter of 10mins... cool huh =)
after i blurted out apologies like an overflowing dam, we got on our way to the airport... i was sitting in the cab trying to catch my breath when i suddenly felt myself going faster and faster and faster... suddenly all the cars seemed to move so slowly... then i moved my eyes over to the speeedometer... and in my mind went.." LORD PROTECT THIS CAR... PROTECT THIS CAR.." grabbed hold of the seat belt and buckled myself in as all that i could process at that point in time were those 4 words.... the taxi driver was driving at a neckbreak speed of 150kmph.... i have never gone so fast in my life... i actually managed to reach the airport in a mere 10mins... i was utterly stunned... and was really scared... haha....
from being late to having enough time to walk around DFS grab a bite and stroll to the gate... well lets just say that because of that even though i only had 4hrs of sleep, i am still wide awake...
well upon arrival in vientam, i headed straight for the market to buy some textiles... thinking of tailoring a suit and two shirts... and hey nikko i just found out that the suit would only cost me abt 80 or 90 sing plus material.... =) heees.... well thats basically all for today i hope my adreneline wont flow again...
friends always care
