My China Trip

29th December 2009

Wohoo Today marks the day i landed in Singapore from China.. Arrived at around 6am and was really tired.. The whole flight was around five and a half hours and it got delayed for around half an hour.. hahaz.. Will post what interesting things that happened during the trip and pictures as well.. So hope you enjoy reading it.. hahaz.. Here we go..

20th December 2009

Prelude - Sunday
Firstly a big thanks to Miss Calister for making her way down to send me off.. =D.. Reached the airport about 8pm and got our Popeyes dinner at terminal one.. Its been like 2years ever since i took an airplane and the feeling was exciting.. Bringing big laguages, dressing up for the cold weather there and everything.. Its seems fun.. hahaz.. After the dinner its time for us to check in and once again thanks to Calister for sending us off.. =).. Its the first time theres like a friend to send me off and the feeling was different.. hahaz.. Alrights off i go.. Bye Bye Singapore =D

21st December 2009
Day one - Monday
Weather - fine
Firstly if you are going to visit China unless you have no choice.. Do not take their airline.. This is a warning.. Their Airline suck to the core.. Everything in it suck.. The seat, the food, the passengers and everything.. Its really uncomfortable and although its a 6hour flight.. It seems like a day to me.. Really horrible.. When i landed at China i can feel the temperature and its no joke.. The coldness was spine chilling.. We met our tour guide and she told us that we have to wait for about an hour because two other person who are taking SQ(Singapore Airline).. Which is a very wise choice.. hahaz.. China greet us really well as the sunrises really nice.. You can take a look at the picture below.. hahaz.. So we our first stop in China is visiting their Macdonalds in the Airport.. I was really curious to see if they sell pork burger because you know we chinese just simply love pork.. hahaz.. And to my surprise they are really selling that.. hahahaz.. When we are in the Macdonalds the people looked at us like some alien because we are chinese but we dont really know how to read chinese and we are discussing what to eat in English.. hahaz.. In the end we ordered 3sets of hotcakes and I learned how to say hotcakes in chinese.. hahaz.. To my surprise they gave me a VIP 10% discount.. What a great way to invite us.. hahaz.. The butter was really butter instead of our magarine in Singapore and the maple was replaced with honey.. hahaz.. One good thing about the Macdonalds is they have hot chocolate as a drink.. WohooZ.. hahaz.. After the breakfast we went to our first stop of our tour which is the Forbidden City.. Its the place where the emperors had stayed and now it become a tourist attraction.. hahaz.. Its quite funny though if you think on the emperors point of view.. He will never thought that one day his place will become like a so called museum where all the commoners can come in to see his place kinda thing.. hahaz.. The place was really huge.. It is 72000 square kilometres(which is the size of Ang Mo Kio) and the weather wasnt a joke.. It was at 3-5degrees in the day and i sudden 20+ degrees change was really quite alot.. We still havent adapt to the temperature and were helplessly shivering.. After the Forbidden City we went to a temple where the Emperors prayed to and went back to our hotel.. It was a five star hotel and it look great.. Except for the toilet.. Not that its disgusting but thats like a big transparent glass there where you get to see what whoever inside is doing and most of the time it cant be locked.. LOL.. Felt so insecure.. hahaz.. Alrights thats all for today..

22nd December 2009
Day two - Tuesday
Weather - Fine
Today is so called the exercise day.. Hahaz.. Because its the day we get to climb the Great Wall of China.. WohooZ.. Its one of the wonders of the world and its the first wonder i have been to.. Woke up at 715am because we have to leave our hotel at 8am for the Great Wall.. The hotel room was so cosy that i can sleep with juz a bath room and its Shiok.. hahaz.. Had a buffet breakfast and it was great though its abit rush.. Then its time to leave for the wonder.. It was really a great sight.. Used to see it in television or pictures and now i can see it live.. Its really quite a great feeling.. Climbing the Great Wall wasnt as simple as i imagine.. The steps of it were all uneven because its build according to the mountians PLUS the coldness plays a really great factor.. The temperature for the day is about 1-3degrees still thanks to the sun but our tour guide says that on the 24th December the weather will change to the coldest temperature Beijing can get because it fully turned into winter.. Well better use this timing to let my body get used to the temperature.. hahaz.. Our body starting to get hot because of the climbing exercise so we didnt really feel cold.. Which is a good thing.. hahaz.. Climbing up wasnt easy but going down was worse.. Because you have to see down the flight of steps and its like super high.. If you are fear of heights its really a test but its ok to shiver because people wouldnt know if you are scared or you are cold.. LOL.. After the Great wall its time for Ski-ing.. I feel that the schedule was quite stupid because after climbing the Great wall we are feeling damn tired already.. Some of us didnt have the strength to Ski which its like such a waste.. I feel they should put it on day four or something like that.. Anyways luckily i have some ski-ing experience and i still remembered them.. hahaz.. Its quite simple actually.. And we had a really great and fun time there.. Well guess thats all for the exercise day.. hahaz..

23rd December 2009
Day three - Wednesday
Weather - Misty
Today we went to Tong Ren Tang, a famous chinese physician hospital that used to served the emperor.. Wohoo.. Sounded damn professional huh.. They are really very professional.. They are the ones that can speak English very well in China.. Not only that.. They really can check the pulse, see the tongue and smell the breath and know what kinda sickness you have.. The best thing is their medicine are using herbs and dont have any side effects.. They also convinced me that chinese physicians are better than the doctors.. hahaz.. After Tong Ren Tang, we went to the summer palace.. You must be thinking its winter time why is there a summer palace.. Its actually a palace that Ci Xi Empress went to every summer to have a holiday there.. Its really huge.. I think its like 2 times the Forbidden City.. Those emperor and empress sure know how to enjoy ya.. hahaz.. Then after that we went to visit the Giant pandas at the panda zoo.. They are real cute and they just need to do two things.. EAT and SLEEP.. Can say they are fortunate and unfortunate at the same time.. No Stress but No Freedom.. hahaz.. I would rather have stress and have freedom though.. hahaz.. Today its quite special because we have a night programme which is the Kungfu show.. The whole show is about a talented boy who knows kungfu but he became arrogant and got some setbacks after being arrogant and turned over a new leaf.. The storyline was ok but the who play was kinda boring because its kinda messy but of course their kungfu were great.. After that its the highlight of the day which is back to the hotel.. Todays hotel is alittle different because theres a in-build Jacuzzi in our room.. WohooZ.. Was quite embarass at first because i am sharing the jacuzzi with my sisters and i got to strip down everything.. It was quite an experience because the water was real hot but the air was cold so its like a double feeling.. hahaz.. Alrights thats all for today..

24th December 2009
Day four - Thursday
Weather - Misty
Today is the day when the real winter starts.. And the weather was really cold.. Its like -6degrees.. I remembered that time when i was joking with Saffir.. He said wow its gonna be so damn cold can you take it?? i said hmm its like 30degrees difference only what shouldnt be a problem.. He looked at me with a shocked look then said do you know every degrees counts or not.. 1 degree can make hell lots of difference.. I didnt really think that his words are so much of weight that time but now its really no joke.. Every degree counts.. I cant even feel my hands today and my face were really numb and couldnt take pictures really well as you dont feel like doing anything and concentrate on keeping yourself warm.. hahaz.. Today we went to the Bird egg.. Its actually representing Phoenix egg as you know in China guys are the Dragons and ladies are the Phoenix.. Its actually Singapores Esplanade in China.. Its a building for the arts.. WohooZ.. hahaz.. The building was beautiful but we just stayed there for like half an hour.. After that we went to the tea leaves shop to get some tea leaves after that we have the second night activity of our trip which is the most boring show ever.. I think more than half of the people in the show were sleeping.. LOL.. Miracle i didnt sleep in it.. hahaz.. And yuppz thats about it for today.. Nothing much other then sight seeing for today.. hahaz..

25th December 2009

Day five - Friday

Weather - Strong wind

First and foremost.. MERRY XMAS EVERYONE.. WohooZ.. Although theres no Xmas feeling here as the people dont give a damn about Xmas but i got people from Singapore sms-ing me to let me have the feel of it.. Thanks people for the small message although its just a simple message but it means alot to me ya.. =).. Hope you all had a great Xmas ya.. hahaz.. Went to the 2008 Olympic Stadium AKA the Birdnest today.. Its like one of the main thing i m going to Beijing and it was a beauty.. Real nice but we didnt really take loads of pictures thanks to the weather PLUS wind gushing into us.. It was really damn cold.. After the Birdnest we went for foot massage.. It was hmm ok to be honest because i m not a potential customer for their medical oil so they just do it for the sake of doing kinda thing which kinda suck and realistic..Then after that we got to leave for Chengde after our lunch.. Theres four people in our group leaving us today because they got to attend a wedding.. Didnt really talk much to those guys but having them in our group is fun.. hahaz.. The road to Chengde was great because we have long for this kinda long bus journey to recover our sleep.. The bus journey was always like 5-20minutes away from the destination which was like rather annoying due to the lack of sleep.. When we reached Chengde we had our dinner and off we went back to our hotel for our rest.. BTW the hotel sucks to the core.. Theres insect in the hotel room plus the toilet bowl is leaking and the bathtub too.. Its worse than the 3star hotel i stayed in Malaysia and they named themself four star hotel and the best in Chengde.. EWWWW..

26th December 2009
Day six - Saturday
Weather - Fine
Today is the coldest day of my trip.. Its like -16degrees out there and we have to tour around Chengde's manmade Palace for the Emperor and Empress again.. I think i m sick of palaces because to me everything is about the same.. Probrably its too cold thats why we cant concentrate but this palace is the biggest.. We have to spend two and a half hour to reach from one end to the other.. Thats really a test because the chillingness in Chengde is really horrible.. The coldness attacks your exposed parts and those that arent protected thick enough.. For example your face, hands and legs.. The weather is so cold that even the lakes are frozen and you can actually walk, play and even jump on it.. It was really an experience.. After that we went to some temple for some visiting and prayers before we head back to Beijing.. All of our groupmates told our tourguide saying.. Hai Shi Beijing Hao.. hahaz.. Which means Beijing is still the best.. In the night we went to the Walmart which is like the Giant in Tampines.. Its really huge and theres loads of things inside.. Food, CDs, Ice cream, you name it, they got it.. And they are selling a turkey wing that is as big as my hand.. Its the biggest i have seen and i have a picture to prove it.. hahaz.. Alrights thats all for today nothing as its another sightseeing day.. hahaz

27th December 2009

Day seven - Sunday

Weather - Fine

Back to Beijing and today we are going to take a Bullet train to Tianjing.. The whole Bullet train station is like an Airport to me.. hahaz.. They got the annoucer, Departures, boarding passes, security checks and etc.. Our train will depart in an hours time so my family went to some starbucks in China to pass time.. Played Nintendo DS with JomZ, Bryan and Wendy to pass time.. We played till we are almost late for the train and our tourguide almost was scared out of her life.. hahaz.. The Bullet train Maximum speed is at around 315KM/hour which is like super fast.. If they build something like this in Singapore and Malaysia we will take like 1hour plus to reach Genting.. WootZ.. But i dont think that will ever happen.. hahaz.. When we reached Tianjing we ate KFC and China KFC is better then Singapores by alot.. REAL GOOD.. It isnt finger licking good because it wasnt as oily as Singapore's but still its good.. hahaz.. After that we visited some building thats made of vases and its extraordinary.. Really looked damn nice.. Next up we went to see another Kungfu show which is like the same as the previous one but this time this is shorter and more entertaining.. How could a girl used her legs to lift and spin a 100kg vase.. Hmmm.. After that we went to the night market and this time is for food.. DROOLZ.. i started with a Strawberry Bing tang hulu and its SHIOKNESS TO THE MAX.. hahaz.. After that i ate something that i myself didnt believe i ate.. I started with Starfish and the taste SUCK.. Its tasted like rotten fish to me.. hahaz.. Then next up is the Scorpions.. Its tasted frighteningly nice.. hahaz.. Then is the water beetles and silkworm Cocoon which both tasted like SHIT.. EWWW.. It was really an experience and i dont mind eating the scorpions again.. LOL.. Alrights thats all for the last second day in Beijing.. =)

28th December 2009

Day eight - Monday

Weather - Fine

Today is the last day of my trip.. But i have a dilemma as i feel like going back to Singapore but also feel like staying in China thanks to the weather.. We are so used to it already.. So used till we dont even need to wear our thick jacket and feel that its alright.. Haiz but everything has to come to an end ya.. hahaz. The first stop for today is the Hard Rock Cafe and i have been wanting to go there from the start because i feel like collecting every country's Hard Rock because i think its unique.. It has the country's state on every shirt which i think its really cool.. hahaz.. Bought 3 shirts there and went to our next stop which is another shopping centre.. The tourguide let us rotted there for 6hours because our flight is at night and theres nothing else we can do.. We had KFC there again then we rotted then dinner again.. hahaz.. Nothing much to shop for me as one of the reason is i m bankrupted.. hahaz.. Bought a Chinese chess set there with my final 100Yuan though.. hahaz.. Soon its time to go to the airport and it has a unique way to reach the airplane.. We have to take a bus to the airplane and board the airplane like the celebrities.. Walking up the ladder and boarding it which i think its really cool and cold at the same time because we stripped all our long johns(the inner clothing that keeps us warm) and i was wearing like how i wore in Singapore luckily not singlet.. hahaz.. China sure knows how to create last impressions.. hahahaz.. Alrights thats all for today and thats all for the long post.. I think its the longest that i have posted and thanks for the patience for reading it till this far.. =).. CaoZ..

My Black and White Xmas

18th December 2009

WohooZ.. Another day of joy and its the first Xmas party i have for 2009.. Hoping to have more but i can only have one more because i will be out of town this Xmas.. Wahahahaz.. A snowy Xmas for me this year.. heheheZ.. Alrights lets not get out of track.. Woke up at 1200hours today and i finally get a long sleep.. Although it isnt enough .. hahaz.. But i think this is one of the thing that NS changes me.. I will wake up at 6am everyday and cant sleep if the clock strikes at 12nn.. HaiZ.. Dont know if its a blessing.. hahaz.. Had pizza for lunch and it tasted really good.. Its the Xmas package that my mum ordered and it comes with extra cheese that you can dip.. NICE!!!.. hahaz.. Had a DOTA game with Wenfeng as well and its been sometime that i didnt played because of my internet sudden lags which i dont know why?? hahaz.. Maybe its because of my overwhelming pictures this year.. Cant believe i have 26.1GB of pictures this year and more to come.. Thanks to my DSLR.. hahaz.. Then about like 1600hours i started preparing to meet Sookmun at Yishun at 1800hours.. Which its abit of a miscalculation of time because i will be wearing contact lens for the first time in my life.. And what i didnt know is.. ITS DAMN DIFFICULT TO GET THAT STUPID PLASTIC INTO MY EYES!!!!.. Its really a struggle as you have to poke something into your eye and you have to open widely for that PLASTIC to go in.. OMGGGGGGG.. Maybe i m just not used to it.. But it was really an experience.. hahaz.. After that its time to go off and i have to rush because the whole contacts experience took 45minutes of my time.. GOSH!!!.. I underestimated the plastic.. hahaz.. Took a 39 to Yishun and its a rush when i reached there because i m super duper late.. hahaz.. Rushed into a handicap toilet to do my eyeliner.. Its the first time i drew for myself and i think it sucked BAD.. REAL BAD.. hahaz.. No choice as Sookmun kept calling because i was SUPER late.. So i rushed out of the toilet, hail a cab and off i go.. And my idea is do not take out the mask whatever the reason is.. hahaz.. As soon i reached the church i put on the mask and hope nobody except Sookmun noticed the eyeliner.. hahaz.. When i reached there the show just nice begun and it was really a good feeling.. Its the first time i've been in a church celebrating Xmas and its really different celebrating with the christians.. And my conclusion is.. No matter what it is.. Its their day and to best enjoy it is to be with them for the season ya.. hahaz.. Theres a lady which is the MC of the day which i think is the in charge of the church and when she was talking about her sharing.. She shared with alot of passion and all which is really a WOW for me.. Can see that she truely loves god and a bearer of light(thats what she said).. hahaz.. Great exposure for me.. Hearing her speech.. Listening to the church songs which sounded really great.. Its been awhile since i heard the songs.. The last one was when i was in Hai Sing Catholic.. Which is my secondary school.. And i always knew their songs rockZ.. hahaz.. Its also great to see that all of them were wearing different kinda costume but unfortunately i didnt take pictures of them because no matter what its my first time there.. hahaz.. They are great people.. Soon its time for the prize presentation and our group won the alot of prizes.. WOHOOZ.. Proud of them.. hahaz.. Heres what we have won.. Best dressed Female.. She dressed as Hamburglar from macdonalds.. Best dressed Male.. He dressed as an Ipod.. Wahahaz.. Best dressed couple.. They dressed as some kinda prince and princess.. Best MTV.. Best Skid.. Best dressed group.. And i think we have won all the prizes out there except for the food section.. hahaz.. GREAT JOB GUYS.. hahahahaZ.. Won myself a box of Oreo cookie as well because i luckily fell into that group.. hahaz.. The event ended about like 2340hours and i got to cab home as i got work tomorrow.. When i m home its a chore to take off my contacts again.. This time the feeling is much better thanks to the afternoon experience.. Im more use to touching my eye now.. But i still got difficulty taking out.. hahaz.. Alrights guess thats all for today.. Really had great fun.. =D

Here are the pictures of today..

Bedok 85

17th December 2009

Today is quite a tiring day for me because i just ended a chalet and im meeting Calister for dinner because she wants to eat at 85 for a damn long time.. hahaz.. The inbetween time i used it for blogging which i couldnt finish it also though because the previous post was quite a long one.. I mean the pictures.. hahaz.. Meet up Calister at about 1800hours at Bedok MRT station and we took the longest walk to Block 85 hawker centre but i told her good food is worth the effort.. When we reached there she agreed with me.. Hehehez.. We ordered damn many food.. Its like for 4person share.. hahaz.. But thats the usual 85market share la.. hahaz.. We ordered Stingray, pork porridge, pork satay, minced meat noodles and sugar cane drink.. hahaz.. We spent like 2hours finishing all the stuff and we were like bloated.. hahahaz.. Not forgetting we ordered the best riceball in singapore that i could find.. Ah balling riceball.. SHIOKNESS.. We ate till we can barely stand not to say walk.. hahaz.. So we decided to find a place to sit and slack or digest first.. She then took out her eyeliner to test it on me because i was planning to put it on tomorrow.. Stay tuned for it.. hahaz.. The trail was with alot of struggles as its the first time i m putting it on and its super uncomfy as its like someone is going to draw on your eye.. hahaz.. She then gave me my vietnam souvenirs.. WootZ.. Its a paper pig and a hand puppet.. hahaz.. The paper pig was unique though.. Thanks although i havent give you your malaysian souvenir.. LOL.. =).. After that we walked back to the MRT station then she suddenly felt like using the toilet so we went up to my granny house to use the toilet.. hahaz.. My grandparents were surprised that i went up.. I drank some water because i m hiccuping for the longest time.. LOL.. I think i broke my own record of hiccups.. I've been hiccuping for like 2hours plus.. AND THE FEELING SUCKS.. hahaz.. In the end my dad came by and fetch her to the MRT station and got me home.. And yupps thats all for today.. Lastly today its also the day that marks the end of my good friend Raudah's working in TTSH.. Will miss her in TTSH though.. Nice knowing you stay in contact.. =D.. CaoZ
