14th Dec - I'm going to the Beach (x3) !!

Yeah! Yeah!! After staying in the house in HCM City for 2 days, I'm so happy i'm going to the beach!!! Finally! yea yea h yeah!!! at 10.30am, we left for the bus station. Sitting on a motorbike, I began to wonder how the beach would look like. Would it be like Pulau Redang? Or just like Teluk Batik? Or. like Pangkor Island? ahhaha.... Really looking forward to going to the beach...

at about 2.00pm, we finall reach Vung Tau.. a town near the beach. This town contains oil terminals. Many petroleum companies invest in this area, for example Haliburton and Schluberger. There is even a platform offshore of this town. Ahh ahh.. it reminds me very much of Bintulu. (though I haven't been there before either).

At about 2.30 pm.. we reached the Juniour's house. While we waited for her to prepare the food, I began looking at her garden. There was a mango tree, vegetable garden.. and a swing within her house compound. Wah! In her neighbour's house, there was this tree full of mangoes! All of them looked ripe for plucking to me. (though they told me it wasn't ripe yet) haha! It looked so juicy, and plump! All of them were like shouting to me, "pluck me ! Pluck me!" ahhahahah.... Another friend commented, "Hey! Hey.. this is not the kampung ya! you just cannot simply pluck fruits from the tree of others!" eheheh.... (sheepish laughter followed after)

In the night, we went out to the beach for a walk.. saw dancing fountains.. water display.. fishing boats on the sea...



We also went to the Vietnamese cafe for a drink. I heard that Vietnam was famous for its coffee. So, I decided to try it out. Actually, I dislike coffee. It is bitter, dilute, and reminds me of the suffering in this world. Besides, each time after I drink coffee, I have a tendency to develop sore-throat. But, I just tried it out anyway. Just for the sake of tryin.

and My! I never regret that decision! The moment I put the coffee to my lips, I could feel the coffee melting in my mouth! Oooooooh!!!! This is better than hot chocolate! Imagine the thick, creamy, bitter-sweet feeling lingering in your mouth.. flowing down your throat... oooooh!!! Such a heavenly feeling!! For the very first time, I fell in love with coffee. Now,, I'll be a true coffee lover forever ! and Nescafe? ! It can't even be termed as 'coffee'. What is it but water and 1ppm of coffee powder? No match for the pure, coffee beans, I must say!


That day, I went to bed, feeling such bliss and joy! Like a child who found her favourite toy, I finally found my 'calling' to love coffee! I was so excited! Wah wah! Where else in this world can one find such a delicious drink? Ahhh... In many more places , I suppose. This is only the beginning of a quest to taste all the coffee in this world, to see which is the best. But, believe me! I will never forget my first taste of pure coffee beans.
