INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STUDY MISSION 2009 (VIETNAM)
Part 7


DAY 9

It is finally down to the final 2 days of our trip and its kinda sad for me because we were just starting to bond so well together. Nonetheless, i had gazillion tons of fun with these people during the trip, so i guess every ending is a new beginning all over!


We met up with the owner of Casserado Furniture early in the morning. He is very typical Singaporean from the way he pronounce his 'eh lah loh'.
HAHA. FINALLY A SINGAPORE SINGAPOREAN IN VIETNAM!
We were bought on a tour of his factory where he manufactures sofas and couches to overseas clients, and it is interesting!


Never before had i seen pink foam (or sponge) produced in just minutes and it looks like Chinese 'Fa Gao'! Hahaha. Looks good enough to eat even.

Lyn and I.

We also met up with the University of Economics for a student exchange thing later in the afternoon as well. I'm surprised the students are around the same age as us and all of them speaks English.


Introductions made, and both sides gave their summary of their countries' cultures. The powerpoint was alright, until we reach the part when they talked about economics.
UH. I tried hard to pay attention lah. Hahaha!




They sang their traditional Mid Autumn Festival song for us! So sweet!
We tried to follow the lyrics and sing along, but the only words we could truly pronouce in sync with theirs is ' Tung Din Din (x2)!'

They were really nice people!
Vu, Ying and another girl which i cant remember! Shit. Hahaha.


We did our dance performance for them as well, and sang 'Home'.
Honestly, the dance wasn't so bad. I think we did pretty well. Hahaha!


Lastly, we were privileged to meet up with the CEO of Thomson Medical for a lunch networking session. From the way he speaks, you can tell that he's knowledgeble and has so many years of experience to share with us in his career. Amazing.


Because its the last night we are having in Vietnam, we had a farewell dinner cruise on a ship that night! Goodness, cant believe its the last night we are staying in THL. ):

Just as we were about to start the dinner, IT RAINED.
Spoiler only! The ship had to lower down their binds to protect us from getting wet, which means subtracting the scenery!
Of all the days and nights to rain, it had to rain on that night. Hahaha. But we still managed to take some photos beforehand:



Karennnnn! Please give me your namecard again! I promise not to lose it!
And my face look super fat in the photos. Can you believe that i actually gained 3kg during IBSM! Like wtfomg.
When i weighed myself secretly during the visit to DIC Star Hotel, i was shocked! Luckily i lose all the weight when i got back to Singapore, hoho.


With clique!
BA SOCIETY PEOPLE YO!
All in black. Nice.


However, the dinner is almost the same as what we had every night. Haha, a little disappointed because i still see the springrolls and cuttlefish.
It doesn't feel like a farewell dinner or we are flying off back to Singapore for me though. Instead, it felt like a normal night in Vietnam. Haha.
I think i'm adapting so well to Vietnam that i dont feell like leaving.
HAHAHA.
Gossips, laughter, food and drinks + great company is love!


Towards the end of the dinner cruise, someone bought out 2 birthday cakes to celebrate the September babies. But then they decided to celebrate the birthdays of those people who fall under September - December, which means Xinying and I!!!!!

Darren and Lester.
Mrs. Ng and Brain.
Clarence. The forever asleep person!


And then when it comes to our turn....................................












We look like two crazy women who just won the lottery!
So excited over the birthday cakes and the celebration, though it feels far from our actual birthdays. Haha.

See the sneaky hands!
Lucky we were smart, we asked AhLong to take out the candles for us. Hahaha!

Post-dinner photos:




All the business ladies!
We gonna make big bucks!

DAY 10

We had finally came to the last day. Finally i managed to finish blogging about IBSM. Haha.

Saying goodbye was never easy.
Karen is a great tourguide! She's more like a friend to everyone and i'm really glad to have known her during this trip. I hope she comes to Singapore one day so we could be her tourguides this time round! Hahaha.


My Googirls!
Shannon!
With yilin and En Shen!

Lynette!!
Tek ko! Hahaha.
Richie Rich. Haha, he's half japanese y'know!



Pink ribbon project.
Haha, Tek ko went kisiao and goes around typing the ribbon around our wrists. Want us to think of you also dont need do this mah. Hahaha!



No regrets joining IBSM at all!
Great trip with awesome people and i'm looking forward to the Genting trip soon!
