无锡 常州trip

常州——梅园






This little boy 搭讪 me while i m taking photos...so i just continued chatting with him till he jumped for joy... 我才乘机拍了下来。。hoho the kids in china 真的不怕陌生人的!the way they dress also super cute..



Taken in front of a mirror like structure




有人竟然有兴致在公园里用钢笔作画。。。画的真的是很生动。 He totally wasnt affected by our prescence and continued with his drawing...厉害!





吃吃逛逛篇。。。


Cm and I "found" Chung yu in this gift shOP when we are SHoPpinG....Oh no i hopE we ARe not missinG Him too muCH!! (the blUE blue haT anD the bear bear resembles one of our san hAO reN nan ren - ChunG yu)


馄饨和饺子作为早餐



The streets of Chang Zhou ....


We passed by this market place selling lots of fishes, birds and all sorts of pets. 来到这里我当然要看看我的最爱- 观赏鱼!可惜那里的种类少之又少。。abit disappointing...but its ok.. we still have the birds...they got quite a variety...mayb keeping birds is more hIp hEre lol!
Pornography for saLe in a magazine stall..very the OPEN ar!






馋嘴的我。。having some sweet tooth problem..怎么我的手看起来那么肥大! 哈哈哈炸云屯 炒面+小笼包+醋!!!绝配!


常州恐龙园 - it's like a THEME  park



我与恐龙

we can enjoy pigeon feeding over there... feed them with cornS they would all flock to you.. i think this picture is nicely taken ...好近距离喔
刚好当天是情人节!到这个游乐场玩的年轻情侣真的很多, 也不自觉地让我感觉到他们的活力和幸福的感觉。。 同时也可以感叹我怎么老了。。已经过了青春期了~~不过人老心不老还是比较重要i also enjoyed the day as much as them!!



The cuties ..mascots of the park haha..the yellow one is my favourite..super tempted to buy lor



One of the "must-try" in the amusement park...This ride is really scaRY !360 deg of rotation pluS the swinging of more than  180 deg ..siAO one! can feel that you are FLYING..and it lasted for 3-5mins ba...You would be thinking WHEN WOULD ITSTOP~!~!


无锡


硬座train which is the cheapest of all grades..it's onli 24rmb to take from Shanghai to Wu xi
Our tour guide for the one day trip to 灵山大佛




佛掌



Night shopping on the streets of wu xi ..they also have a 步行街 similar to shanghai..after that then i know every city which are more modernized will have a 步行街 of their own

We met a local whom we gt to know at ling shan da fo...she brought us ard that night...a very bubbly little girl..really cannot imagine she is one yr younger than me...~!! 1st time i feel so strongly abt ppl having yuan fen in a foreign place...we can meet at totally 2 diff place in less than 12 hrs ! interesting..



Look at our tired faces when we are on the bullet train back on the last day

1st Day to 复旦

yeah finally got to go to sch after 4days of work... the week seems shorter with sch days..i hope ..heh..we wont be tied down by too much sch work...had a good sleep the night before. tts why i can still stay awake and chat with chips and oli on the one hr journey...at the same time listening to local radio station~~ then i gave up after realising i cant multitask btw the conversation and the radio..haha






San1 hao4 ren2 on the bus to sch..taking from interchange to interchange...spent us one hour









复旦的所在地


同学们都以自行车代步。。因为整个校园真的太大了!迟到的话真的就完了!
三号人在复旦。。


Outside the resource room of Philosophy faCulty.. preparing to start our jiao liu with local students!


super engaging conversation with 2 of our locals.. i realised the sch have more females students... dunno whether is my cuo jue or whether is it this is the humanities sch of the university..




复旦有校歌, 南大的呢?从来没听说过。。


由学生们经营的超市和理发店。。里头的一切都由学生们包办。。真了不起。。像极了国大新大的咖啡厅一样




欢迎会搞到太阳下了“山" then finally ended...on our way to look for our DINNER!


Group photo in the super strong wind outside ... i think i can sing "i believe i can fly..."cant even walk straight lor...look at our eyes and hair..we are acty facing a field which looks like those in harvard university..or rather those in european countries...feeling totally coOL cos I can finally shout out tt “我是留学生!”





放学回家的路途上, 天都黑了! 我们都饿死了!什么时候才到??



位置:来福士城 aka raffles city


共享着some thai sauce roll which i think we cant find in e menu in singapore swensens...sauce is not baD!...had a sumptous meal anyway cos i manage to eat my ice cream since my craving this afternoon!!

Beijing trip

lol....went beijing on chu xi night all the way from 6th to 10th feb..now den i finally she3 de2 blog..


oli and her favourite pineapple tarts!! we almost finished half a container from jin xian...made him super sad hahah cos they are ai xin from singapore



Setting off from Hong Qiao Airport..



Somehow Oli and I heng heng got a chance to sit at the business class...since that day was chu xi, it was an amzing scene to watch non stop fireworks from the sky...they are like tiny mushrooms haha...very diff when u watched it from the ground


taking a shuttle bus before boarding the planE...


after playing with fireworks at shanghai, 来到北京怎能错过呢。 尤其那一晚是除夕夜, 整个夜空根本没停下来过。。。 我们也当然凑上一脚。。



One of my fav pics taken by me.. @ 颐和园 guided by our photog olivia koh


享受着宫廷式的待遇



逛庙会,吃吃喝喝


playing on frozen lake~



Peking roasted duck..it just melts in ur mouth with all the other ingredients~~its my 1st time trying it



WOoHh ...super windy..cant even breathe properly and cant lift my head

胜利!



The usual meal we had every day at beijing....that weird big pot of thing is acty used to boil the slices of meat roll




Mel's new 造型when climbing 长城~~



Frozen river~



天安门~~

transportation is cheaper in beijing as compared to shanghai..its only 2rmb every trip. the train looks jus like the one in shanghai.. just tt it uses a system with a light indication when ever it reaches a stop


The beijing was rather a packed one as usual..but I believe we have to if we are going beijing...but its a waste that i didnt get to meet up with xin hui and ivonne who r in beida..~~ ok la but its cny...they should be bk in Sin.
在北京度过新年的确很独特的经验, 那里的烟火和鞭炮的燃放真的深深的让我感到新年的气氛。 虽然这次的新年没有家人的陪伴,但是有朋友有着这些对我来说新鲜的事物,这个年过得也很热闹和有意义。也非常庆幸天这么照顾我们,那次的旅程天天都是晴天, 根本就不想冬天的北京。 真的很难忘。
