Parachèvement, Perfezione...

Hii!! I have started blogging again after tireless days of reading astronomy handbooks. My QUANTA competition which is just around the corner has been making me go mad. First: i am not packed, second: our model display is still incomplete and lastly i can't get all the facts into my head. So i am just hoping i could get over the problems as soon as possible and kickstart the adrenaline in my body for the competition. Muahaha :D. As I have promised, I will continue with my travel and places programme in vietnam. Total population of Vietnam is approximately 84,402,966 and the people are mainly involved in agriculture activities. History of Vietnam is definitely richer compared to Malaysia. I was surprised that the communist forces of the North was able to suppress the attacks from the Americans. Although they managed to succeed in the war but many lifes were sacrified in the process. Among them were Vietcongs, Americans, journalist who braved themselves to capture the historic events and citizens too. (mainly from the North) Hereby are the pictures taken from my visit to the Cu chi tunnels and the war memorial in Ho Chi Minh City.

(The map shows the area around Cu Chi which is the North's stronghold. The Brown area shows the Vietcongs tunnels. The blue is where the americans base is to protect Saigon now known as Ho Chi Minh City)

(How the tunnels where the Vietcongs hide looks like. The triangle area is used to store weaponry and ammunition.)

( Some of the weapons used by the Vietcongs and Americans during the war. Got my hands on the M1 Carbine and my friend tried both the AK 47 and Carbine.)
*All weapons used in the shooting range are live bullets

(Some of the traps used to capture Americans. Sure is painful. These are the creations of the Vietcongs put around the surface of the tunnels.)

I will end my post here. Sleppy (Yawns..) I have to go to school tomorrow. Need to rest my brains now. So see ya and i will continue in my next post. Bye!! :)

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.

Clare Booth Luce, in Reader's Digest, 1979

A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.

Jean Paul Richter
German author (1763 - 1825)

Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Charles Dickens

Travel and Places (Part One)

As I promised from the last post, i will begin with my first chapter of travel and places with me. Hahahaha how glad if I can have my own talk show(dreaming...) Don't wanna drag anymore so I will start off now. The first vacational spot I would like to introduce will be Vietnam. I myself recently just experienced the culture and the lifestyle of the people from vietnam and I would like to stress that i am so happy and proud to be a Malaysian. (SERIOUSLY!!) The citizens there are not only poor but neglected in terms of health, technology and human rights. The man are the ones sitting at home waiting for the wife to bring at least some income home for him to SPEND!! (what a disgrace to the males in the world Muahahaha!!) The average life expectancy of a male is only 60 while females are only 63 when compared with Malaysia's 73 for male and 78 for female. (So drastic!!) So be proud of ur country. There is always good and bad in everything. Remember Da Vinci Code?? (Everything in the world contains an opposite of itself) Hehehehezz. Here are some of pictures taken from Hanoi the capital of Vietnam. But before that i would like to thank my friend and his family for this fun and enjoyable trip to Vietnam. (You are the best friend I ever have!!)

The night life of Vietnamese in Hanoi (There are lots of motorcycles as it is cheaper than motorcars and also suits the narrow streets in Hanoi)

The mausoleum of the late Ho Chi Minh, president of The Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now known as The Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Vietnam was divided into the North and South. The North being communist and the South being the allies of the US in the late 1955's. Hanoi was later declared the capital of Vietnam after the North triumph over the South in 1976.

The Great or Imperial Hall where meetings are held between the late Ho Chi Minh and his ministers

The Presidential Palace where the late Ho Chi Minh once lived in. He decided not to live in the palace as he believes that everybody should be equal and he lived in an one-storey building not far from the palace. What a wise man he was :)

The picture says it all. ;)

The dining area where the late Ho Chi Minh once stayed. This is part of the one-storey building mentioned earlier. He died at the age of 79 and was a bachelor. he sacrificed to give the citizens and the country a better lifestyle.
