World second largest rice exporter

One week before Hari Raya, Wendy suggested on going on a trip somewhere to kill the free time on the Raya week. So, I went and searched around for cheap tickets on places around. Too bad, in the end of planning, Wendy needed to stay put at home to take care of her parents. I’m sure we can go on trip again in the near future when her father gets better!

Anyhow, I went on with my parents in the end. It was a 5 days 4 nights trip to the world second largest rice exporter country. The country with over 3 thousands kilometers of coastline. Insane.

We traveled using MAS’s as it offers hassle-free transit and it’s actually slightly cheaper than Air Asia. Furthermore, we don’t need to pay a single cent for the meal served on board.

Flying for 3 hours plus without (FREE) food and drinks can be starving and thirsty.

We had our fist lunch at quan an ngon in the Old Quarters after arrival. It’s a well known place among the locals and tourists. Many have recommended this place so we gave it a try.

What you see on the left is what Vietnamese love to eat. Often, they like to wrap their food around like this. It’s something similar to Japanese’s temaki.

Well, I must say that we are not really “into” the local foods over there. Nevertheless, it is a very good experience!

Just enjoy the photos I took during the trip and I’ll tell you more in the next post.

Staying alive is a key to another great trip, you will know why in the next post.

Till then, take care.

PS: Oh ya, if you are viewing the photos in the photo album, make sure you try the slide show feature ya!

Audrey Lau and Boon Kiat’s wedding

Congratulations! It was a pleasent evening yesterday attending Audrey’s wedding which took place in a restaurant opposite St Anne’s church, Bukit Mertajam. Go to full album.

On my Canon 400D, surely this 2 years old body still serves me quite well. The keeper rate is largely controlled by what lens it’s fitted on. The body itself is subjected to ocasional focus confusion and such producing soft images but it’s not too critical. I’ll just have to double check the shots taken and re-take if needed.
