Despite not looking forward to......
parade in a bikini beside a person with perfect abs.

Right now, pki is
looking forward to......

having alot of sun on a white soft sandy beach.
Wadding in the turquoise blue water and looking up into the clear blue sky.

It has been eight years since I last set foot there.
This time going back as a tourist, I wonder how it is going to be like, my childhood paradise...

BEIJING

The first thing we did in Beijing was to eat the famous "Peking duck". I don't know what's with my that face but that's the only picca of me with the duck. We went around 3pm and the waiter insisted that we eat "the last duck" they have. The restaurant was supposed to be close after lunch and reopen for dinner.

We find the Chinese really funny when they turned off all their AC and left laiyee and I eating in the very hot restaurant. Halfway gobbling down the duck, they even put out the lights. We were not piss at all, it's afteral our first meal, and we find the Chinese very interesting. :)

Beijing was really HOT. The sun was buring hot. Crazy burning hot. For Beijing, we initially planned to take the four-hour-hike up Simatai Great Wall but was told by the local tour agencies that the Simatai and Mutianyu were closed down due to construction. We didn't want to go to Badaling for we heard that it is way too commercialized and there are just too many tourists visiting Badaling.

Frustrated and exasperated, we then decided to have a beer each, and being a bad drinker, I was all fuzzy and with the sound system on the side of the roads blaring their speakers "Badaling Great Wall, Badaling Great Wall!", we booked a Great Wall trip form rmb 60 each and paid a deposit of rmb 50. DO NOT BOOK THAT TOUR!! Apparently they bring you to Badaling where it is prettily reconstructed and full with boiterious tour groups. They also bring you to another two places, the Ming Tombs and another place but they aren't that nice. Also, they waste your precious touring time by bringing you for "shopping".

Still fuzzy over that one can of Tsing Tao, both of us went back to our air-conditioned room and dozed off. We later learned from other backpackers who actually travelled to Mutianyu Great Wall, so we decided to burn the 50yen deposit for Badaling.

We took a subway to the bus station out of city and took a bus for rmb10( forgot the names of the destinations :( ), and book a taxi for rmb 100 to take us to the Great Wall. The driver waited for us and bring us back to the bus stop.

Mutianyu was niceeeee. There weren't too many people around. We even took the exact same cable car as Clinton up to the Great Wall. Out of so many cable cars. Imagine!

Lucky lucky us! ^^/

The moment we set foot on the Great Wall I got the same chill I felt when I was in Angkor Wat, even though the sun was blazing at 40 degrees. The Great Wall was magnificient and it is hard to imagine how ancient people could have created it.

Some crazy steep steps that could kill. :( I was terrified going down those steps but Laiyee was busy teasing asking me to SMILE SMILE for this picca.

Spotted a bride taking piccas for her wedding album. Mind you, to pose under the blazing sun. Just imagine what women can endure to get a good picca.

Temple of heaven.

Bird nest olympic stadium. There are better, clearer, prettier piccas in laiyee's dslr.

Pangu 7 star hotel. There was a spining Porche beside the bar but it's nowhere to be seen in this picca.

Our very friendly hostel receptionist. Her name is "Travel". :)

The Forbidden City, too many people, overly crowded, we decided to just look at it from the top of the hill in a garden opposite it.

Wangfujing street, they sell geli food. -_- star fish and seahorses. OMG -_____-

Random hawker food for breakie.

Random old man playing the erhu and singing, he was really good. Was very impressed by this old man and donated some money to him. Respected the fact that he's playing on the street instead of begging. TT

Fooling around with a Chinese opera mask.

I didn't like Beijing that much, it was way too hot, crowded, and noisy.

I know it's the Chineses' culture to walk around with their shirts pulled up revealing their disturbing bellies but I guess I just cannot bring myself to accept that.

All in all, Beijing was fine. It's a city with lotsa history and full of culture but comparing Beijing to Xian and Sichuan, I much prefer the latter two.

Gonna end here, shall follow up with Xian and Sichuan.

Okay okay. Update update.
Warning : It's gonna be a long post so I don't care if you guys wanna just scroll and look at the piccas like what beruk does all the time. :P

I hope you guys never check out my facebook because I stole all the piccas I have now from my friends in facebook. I have no piccas from my NZ trip-NONE because they are all with Viona because if I have a camera then I won't be able to make it to NZ (My dream dream dream country since I don't know when). Everytime I go on a trip my bank balance drops to very very near 0........... O_o
Anyway, lets not think about the bank balance and just focus on NZ okay,
NEW ZEALAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See! Dreams do come true!!

Here's my first trip out of Asia mannnnnnnn!
lalalalalalala.....~

NZ is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!
When you're there you feel like you're living in a postcard. Like literary IN the POSTCARDDD!

I didn't have money to do this... but I will have the money to do this SOON, when I start working and earning real money $$$$ !!!

I can just stand from this tower kind of thingy and look and take piccas of that lucky guy there :(
But I think I'm already lucky enough (at least luckier than taysueyen muahahahaha) to be in this picca so... ^^v


Here's two Germans Viona and I met and toured with from Franz Josef.
Henning and Chris ^^ Really nice people!!!~~ They are super TALL like freaking 183 and 190!! -_- and for the very first time in my life I feel small, I feel tiny. Ahhh~ I love angmohs, they make me feel like I'm tweety bird instead of godzilla.
But if taysueyen was there with me she would look like an amoeba, too tiny, overly micro. muahaha


And this picca. Fulamak! Just so you all know I didn't do it although the Germans dared me to by offering to pay. BUT! I didn't do it NOT because I'm a chicken, (okay, I'm a half chicken). I didn't do it because they offered to pay and it is not nice to let them pay when the jump is 100NZD!


In NZ everything closes at 5.30pm except the pubs. Like seriously...EVERYTHING!
So we usually stay in and that's us caught on camera by Sarah while playing the game "spoons" in which I was named Ms. Spoon. -_-


The glacier. I went on it.~~ Lalalalala... It was a tiring + frustrating + nice + not too nice + quite nice + ok nice. I know I don't make sense to any of you but I actually do, only to myself.
I'm still showing the glacier off because the water is so blueeeeee...

Hokittikka where we met Sarah from New Orleans who treated us fudge. She's REALLY REALLY nice too!
I think all angels flocked to NZ because NZ is paradise! And I'm one of them too.....


The Hokitikka beach is clean by the way although the sand is black! I have never seen BLACK SAND in my life so it is very very very super extra special.

Sarah took this picca and I know I look super duper ugly with a bag kapit in between my legs and my ass half hanging in the air but I still love this picca because of the blue four-wheel in the background. ^^

People, I'm good, I'm home and I'm healthy with my bump growing every second because I don't have to run to classes and I'm stuffed up with food. -_-

Heading over to KB to see Ms. Gan soon. Mwahhhhhhh Life~
I'm living and loving my life.

ps: I know I used wayy too many exclamation mark in this post but really NZ is worth that many exclamation marks!!! =P

Was in the shower and suddenly this memory occurred... And it got me googling for Malaysia's population

In Halong Bay, at nite on the boat when we all saw three shooting stars...
Conversation with Christian,

C : So you guys study in South Korea, doing what?
K : Engineering.
C : Cool, I'm doing Industrial Engineering, and you?
K: Chemical Engineering (hati berbunga cause I feel so cool and smart studying Engineering...) *Smirksssssssss*
C: I honestly am impressed, I mean I never thought YOU would be studying Chemical Engineering.
K: Why.....*raise a smart eyebrow* (I'm so cool!!!)

Minutes later...
C: So, what's the population in Malaysia.
K: (Shit!!!) Er...60 billion?
C: Wow, you mean you have the whole world in Malaysia then? *trying hard to stifle a laugh*
K: (Shit x3!!!) Well, I don't know that!!! Maybe you should ask my friend there *pointing at meiping* She's the smart one.... *in super indignant voice*
C: It's alright, let me make it easier for you then, how many people per square meter?
K: Um...............*totally speechless*
C: Oh, you know, like a square with one meter length at all sides........
K: *super indignant & frustrated* I KNOW what is a square meter!!!! I just don't know how many people to put in it!!!
C: Okay.....

C: So, you're gonna get a tailored made dress in Hoi Ann? There's lots to shop there, I think you would love it there... *Obviously smilling so broadly*
