Vietnam Free Trip_Day 2: The Rich history of Olden Days in Saigon City

The highlights of 2nd day in Ho Chi Minh were watching Water Puppet Show, War Museum, Hard Rock Cafe and of course more shopping! hehee

Blue was the theme colour. As early as 7 am, we had our breakfast with the whole group in Equatorial Hotel. All the men wore Malaysian Football jersey; the blue color! Very united and the team spirit was very much felt! Blue wave.....

Vietnam Free Trip_Day 1: Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City


On last 18 March 2012, i felt very lucky and fortunate because termasuk dalam senarai 380 orang qualifiers daripada seluruh Malaysia  for a free trip to Vietnam. Yes, mmg FREE!

Ok, here are some pictures of the Day 1.

As early as 10.00 am, semua qualifiers dah berkumpul at KLIA. Semua yang under CDM Hanis Haizi wore GREEN. At that time, KLIA dilanda kebanjiran manusia2 berpakaian hijau.. very united! Felt a very sense of belonging =)

Travelling with amazing and fun people, especially with my beautiful business partners...Paan, Aliah, Ferr, Alya and Kak Alyn...this 4 days 3 nights trip to Ho Chi Minh City  was indeed unforgettable and has left a very fond memory for me to treasure forever. *love u guys*


Our team together with the 2 little handsome boys, son of Nadia Bakly & Aliah Nasreen.

From KL to Ho Chi Minh...approximately took only one hour to sampai. By 1.30 (Vietnam time), we reached the Noi Bai airport. It was a sunny and bright Sunday noon...right after we touched down, the tour leader terus brought us to Equitorial Hotel.

Touched down at Noi Bai Airport

Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City!
Welcoming drink is in GREEN! matching pulak with the theme color for that day. Lol


with my roomie for the trip, paan =)

After checked in the hotel, and freshen ourselves for 30 minits, we headed to Ben Thant Market!
The mission was to search for dress to be worn during the Gala Dinner on the final day. The time given was very limited since Ben Thant will close at 6 pm.  Hoohoo.....macam amazing race pun ada, dress hunting. Its quite challenging, i must say since we need to adhere to the Green theme for our group, hence the choices were limited. On top of that, we need to pandai bargain for the best price from the Vietnmase. Kalau tak...mmg kena tipu kaw2 la.. ;)


 
Dress- hunting began!
"Kakak2...beli dengan saya!, Murah2!"....Yes, the seller here knows how to converse in Malay!
By 6pm, everyone finally managed to find some decent dress for the Gala Dinner

 Our next stop is to D'Nyonya Restaurant, semua org memang dah lapar giler.


The dinner served for that night


Good food!


































Lepas dinner, sambung shopping lagi! Now, our stop is at the Night Market!


Some striking lantern sold in the Night Market



borong, borong...

End of Day 1...
