-Day 1, Tuesday, 27 October 2009-

Flight delayed till 5.10am.
Board the plane and i fell asleep immediately till breakfast was served, i was half conscious. The noodle appeared to taste so nice, but mum said it was not good. I finished the whole thing, and my head tilted towards my dad’s shoulder, asleep again.

After 5hours of flight, it was 10am.

We had to change plane to be able to reach our destination, Jiu Zhai Huang Long. It was an hour’s time and when we had reached, the temperature froze me. It was 8 Degree Celsius, but SHIOK!

Bumpy Roads.

Our tour guide came with a panda in her arms so as to be able to recognise her from the crowd. Hopped onto the coach and we set off for lunch. After that, set off to their designated place, Huang Long. It was even cooler, 2 Degree Celsius. It took us 3hours to reach the mountain area and I’ve had snapped some photos in the coach (blur ‘cause bus’s dirty!). Mum could not take the pressure, too cold and too high, so she sat down while dad and I continue our way up and started helping me to snap photographs.


Back on coach at 7pm and reached our hotel at 9pm. Had buffet for dinner, the food is not nice, except for the cabbage and porridge. I did not stop snapping though, got quite a few more photographs taken by dad.


And now, back to our hotel room. Going to turn in soon, it’s 11.44pm and I have to wake up at 7am for breakfast. Bad news, I’m going to gain some weight after these 8days.

Good nights!


-Day 2, Wednesday, 28 October 2009-

Alarm rang and I woke up and went down for breakfast.

Hopped onto the coach again and it took us 1hour 30mins to reach Jiu Zhai Gou. There are lots of mountains and it’s very cold. Board their clean and green bus (no pollution). The sun was pretty scorching, therefore it’s quite warm but if I remove the coat, it’ll be freezing cold. It sounds contradicting, but that’s the way it was.


Thin Air.

We kept on getting on and off their bus to different destinations and after a few; it was rather dreadful to squeeze through to get into the bus. After all, we still did. A lot of photos were taken and I saw 3 going-to-marry couples, taking their shoots there. Beautiful.


After which, we headed down for dinner at a Zhang Zhu’s person’s place for dinner. With really weird dishes which you should not be able to find in Singapore. There’s goat’s meat and cow’s meat. They were delicious though, but I have had no time to finish. In between, there’s performance by them and the 10th sister tricked Uncle Yang and Dad to be her husband.


Time was running late, and we rushed off to watch a performance by the Zhang Zhu people. It was nice, but I fell asleep halfway even though it was really noisy because they have to be very loud because of their religion.

Back to the same hotel and I slept my way throughout till the next morning.


-Day 3, Thursday, 29 October 2009-

Dad shook me off my bed. Breakfast as usual, and packed our luggage hurriedly. The tour guide gave dad a necklace and he was so “question marked”. She then said, it’s for your little princess, and I was also stunned. Soon, we rode onto the coach again for another 1hour to the jewellery shop. Tour guides never fails to bring tourists there.

Delay.

After another hour, we set off for Jiu Zhai Huang Long’s airport. Upon reaching, we had news that there’ll be a delay of flights due to the misty weather that is not suitable for planes to fly. From 11.25pm till 5.45pm. Long wait, slept on the floor while waiting, ate and drink. Before that, bade farewell to our tour guide and took a few photos with her.


Landed in Cheng Du at 6.45pm and reached our eatery area at 7pm. New tour guide who knows Singapore very well, like his own country. “Go green” was today’s dinner’s theme. It was all vegetables, a little meat, but too salty. Healthy enough. Mount on the steps of the coach and slept through the whole journey back to our new hotel, Dong Po Hotel.

It’s a short but tiring day though all the events today were cancelled due to the delay of flight!


-Day 4, Friday, 30 October 2009-

Heavy breakfast.

Packed the baggage and carried them down to the coach. Settled onto my seat and fell asleep again. After awhile, we arrived at the Su Dong Po’s used-to-be house that has now become a place for tourists to visit. Back onto the coach again and headed down to a place that has several different types of bamboo trees. They used bamboos to make lots of things, such as, slippers, “paintings”, shoes, chairs, bed, etc. Interesting. Then, had lunch there and rice was served in the bamboo form! It’s cute and it tastes nice.


Aftermath, another bus journey to the memorial place of what happened 1000years ago. When some people did not want to have any religion. Sadly, they smashed the faces of the Buddha.


Into the cooling coach again, then to E Mei Hong, a place which sells jewelleries and pi xiu (helps to earn money and so on). Amazingly, mum did not buy anything, whereas I bought a necklace.

It rained suddenly and dad treated us to ice cream! Finished it and I went back to sleep again. Mum woke me up and we took a boat out into the sea and took photographs.

Another 1hour of bus journey and we reached Hokkaido, a massage place. The massage was fabulous, she’s good, but, her strength was too strong and the bean bag was very hot, under the fire of 30 degrees. Soon, we arrived at Hong Zhu Shan Hotel and I’m ending my post here, for today.


-Day 5, Saturday, 31 October 2009-

Grumpy morning and had little breakfast. Weather was normal, 22 Degree Celsius.

Total of 4 hours up and down the mountain. Then we took a cable car that has the fastest speed and is the biggest loaded to the maximum of 100 + 1 people in China at present.

Only 4 minutes up to Mount E Mei and to the temple is was only 5 Degree Celsius and 18 at foot. I like! Then, we went into the temple and prayed. Different types of material were used, gold, silver and bronze for 3 different temples. While walking down the stairs, I spotted a row of chained locks. They are locks that represent the couple’s love, forever. Soon, we went for lunch at the foot of the mountain.


Time was wasted when we were going down hill with lots of turning rounds. When we’re back into the city, we only had an hour to do shopping, but … I didn’t manage to buy anything.

Aftermath, to another hotel called Min Jiang Dong Hu Hotel. It’s a short day, and I’m rotting in the hotel and watching magic show as well as surfing the net but damn China. They banned Facebook and Blogger!


-Day 6, Sunday, 1 November 2009-

As usual, buffet for breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant. Soon, headed to the coach and went to Shan Xi Gu Zhen to shop and experience the people’s life there when there’s sun, ‘cause most of the time, the weather is very misty.

A few shops that rent ethnic costumes caught my eyes. So, after the tour guide brought us to the washroom, we went into one of the shop and chose 2 different clothing, Western and Chinese. The lady helped me with my hair for the Chinese costume. It was only S$2 for each photo!


Then, we walked around for awhile more. Some chains made up of friendship bands were spotted, but the owner like heck care, so I did not buy anything there. Trip was not wasted though.

A few hours more on travelling and finally we’d reached the tea house. They introduced 4 different types of tea and they were pretty expensive. We stayed there for almost half the afternoon before going over to the place where they sell silk. Disappointed for the tour guide, because none of us bought a single thing, and he even bought each and everyone of us a scarf.

After dinner, went to watch Bian Lian (changing of face). It’s famous in China, but I almost fell asleep when the guy was playing er hu. They are good in changing their faces, right in front of you; you won’t be able to catch their fault. Day ended at 9.30pm and slept after midnight.



-Day 7, Monday, 2 November 2009-

Breakfast, and set off to a hall where they sell Chinese medicine. The physician said that my stomach is not working very well, and hence needs to be treated. So, mum bought 2 boxes and something to add on to help me grow taller. Also, found out why I am not growing. Part of the reason may be because I have had been doing foot massage. Moral of the story is, don’t do message if you’re still growing. Can, but not to the extent that you do it all the time. Spent the whole morning there and slept in the coach till we arrive at the restaurant for lunch.

The last 2nd event of the day was, to the panda zoo. Pandas look super duper uber cute and their life is like pigs. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Amazingly, when they were born, they are only the size of a human’s palm, but when they are 1year old, they are pretty huge.

RMB1000Yuan = S$200

Just to take photographs with the panda, Ying Ying, 1years old. Well, it’s once in a lifetime, and it is not easy to find panda, even so, it is not very possible to take photographs with them! 32 photos were snapped by the keeper. Worth the amount!


Ending the day off with Ma La Steamboat near our hotel. It was super hot and spicy, but nice. After dinner, we were suffering because we were all too full so we went to shop a little. I finally managed to buy a pair of heeled sneakers and back to the hotel.


-Day 8, Tuesday, 3rd November 2009-

Free and easy in the morning and took breakfast before 9.30am. After that, went out to the nearby shopping centres to shop. Through and fro, finally bought a pair of boots and a green crop jacket. Checked out and we headed down for lunch, mushroom steamboat. Then to walk walk around, and soon arrived at Jin Li. Ate goat's meat and bought dried cow's meat back. By then it was 5.30pm, so we set off for the airport and left for Singapore at 8pm and bade farewell to the tour guide.


Home sweet home at 2am.

Yay-ness!

Leaving Singapore for China in 5hours and less. Don't have to attend school is the best thing, no homework, and no troubles.

Finally, it's settled i guess. Even though it's cleared, we may not even be talking, perhaps till next year?

BOOOOOOOO!


AWAY!!!
(27th October - 3rd November)



Lastly, Happy Advanced 16th Birthday(2nd Nov), Ri Choon:)

Labels: Happy Birthday

Surrogates with weisong on Thursday. Interesting show, but kind of complicated in the end.

***

I will learn from your post.
I will put myself in others' shoes and understand their situation and feelings.

I know i shouldn't have said anything in the first place. &then, things would not be as bad compared to the previous time. I know i'm wrong. Sincere thanks to you, i really did not realise how i was in the past.

How demanding,
How 大小姐
How attitude and things like that, i was.

&now i know. I shouldn't have had done all this if i wanna be a good friend.

I do cherish the friendship, perhaps in the wrong way. I did not fake myself, i was true and i really wanna concern about you.

Lastly, i really hope the friendship would be back. Even though it may not be like last time, i hope that things would be better:)

I sincerely apologise to what i've done in the past and i hope for you guys' forgiveness. I realised my mistake, i've said what i wanna say, i've done what cannot be undone. If you guys aren't satisfied, tell me what i should do, and if i can i will do it but if i can't, i will still try my best. I've realised my mistakes.

You have my word.

&Thank you.

I should say ..., it was fine. I meant, school.

I've grown a little out of it, somehow. Adapting pretty well in school. If i just can't be bothered to do anything, i would rest my head on the table and i would fall asleep. Anyway, N LEVEL IS OVER !! However, Monday ... Exam, no tuition! &i'll be flying the next day.

Oh, look at the time now!!!! it's 3.12am yet i'm not asleep ..., i can't sleep. There are things running in my head, confusing me. I just wish it could stop though. I'm dead beat, mentally.


Friends come and go, Eileen said. True friends are hard to find.

She told me about her experience, and even now, in poly, she don't have much friends except for her own classmates who are having the same modules as her. There's once class was cancelled, but no one informed her and she wasted her car petrol oil.

Seriously, i wonder how she really felt inside ...

Is it like me?

Perhaps, after some time, things will get better and i hope time would pass faster. I could finish my O level next year, leave my secondary as soon as possible with a beautiful grade and enter to the few courses i wish to be in. CLEAR IT CLEAR IT!!!!!

The world is just too realistic yet complicated.

"Friends are the sunshine of life."
-- John Hay (1871)

I still dread school a lot though, but there's no way i can skip it just like that.
Damn the school.

But, we are going to have marking day on Thursday, and that means i have chance to go out and enjoy, and and and

i'm leaving for China with my family on 27th October, after 'O' level English paper which is on 26th Oct. I want to get B3!!!!

Fat Hope.

And why, 'cause i just found out that if i'm applicable to, i can try Mass Comm since i'm so much interested into journalism and things like that. Interesting course!








It's late now, but i can't sleep.
&ya, BOOMZ,



What's wrong with that?

I felt you moving forward, but i retreated. Beats me.

Although Ms. Chen did not teach neither did she waste the time just like that. She talked to us about how weak a person's life can be. It's very logical and practical, all about reality and how have people been changing; becoming more self-centered and would take almost everything for granted as most of us tend to forget about the less fortunate.

Put yourself in others' shoes, was what she emphasised on.

School was just like yesterday. Just that today, i sat at the back alone. The back seat is still a better place for me be at. Quiet. I still dread school, very very very much.

Surprisingly, i came across a blog and this paragraph caught my attention.

We crap about quite a number of people in school and as usual Im one of them because of th fucking peanut thingy.
Whatever. Im not even th one eating peanuts on th train. Better than someone elses's sister who misuse other's credit cards.
This is called 以牙还牙. :)

good, very interesting post. Thank you so much, just because i posted your video:)

I had a pretty happy afternoon though it wasn't that good in school. Bus to jurong point to meet Ting hui and Zhen xin for pool at arena. Played, made fun of guy and saw our primary school friend, learning.

Many things sure had changed for the past few years.

We played 2 vs 2, then 1 vs 1.
