beijing trip

Need a rest after coming back from China, need to wait for my friends to send me those pictures, busy with work, busy celebrating friend's birthday and then school reopen! Excuses and more excuses, Haha. I'm just plain lazy! :) Well, here are my long overdued China trip pictures which are quite messed up but enjoy ya! Wouldn't write too much about it and i just wanna say:

SHOPPING IN CHINA WAS GREAT!

SO-GREAT!

Beijing International Airport, and the oh-so-super-duper-uber-cold-weather!

I am in China!

Our meal in the hostel, which is oh-so-not-nice

Vegetables are too salty

Soup is too bland

Meat is too little

Rice is so-so only,
and that concludes my view for the meal

Went to a nearby convenience store to shop for tibits!

The streets of China

Hell lots of people in China

Grinning happily :)

Went to Carrefour to shop for gloves cause it's freaking cold in Beijing! However, I can't find any gloves there, even when they sell anything from head to toe! Ironic right?! In the end, we bought all sorts of stuff like chips, pudding, bag, shoes and even tonics for the elderly (mainly by Huiling, cause she kept telling us that she has to buy souveniers for her relatives! Cannot stand her!)

Shopping at Carrefour!

Had a wonderful exchange program with the local students. They are really a group of wonderful friends we made in China. Special thanks to Queenie for bringing us to Xi Dan to buy lots of goods, Yi Fei for accompanying us to several companies, and Shin Lin for translating the conversations to us!

Special thanks!

Us :)

Queenie brought us on a tour around Beijing Jiao Tong University. We took freaking alot of pictures and I think everyone around the campus was looking at us, even our friends!

Queenie, Elena, Huiling, Me and Lebbillie

Jump shot is so fun!

Queenie told us to climb to the top, and commented that it's a nice shot!


Business IT students! Jump!

For the next few days, we went to visit quite a number of attractions, such as Olympics Ice-cube and Birdnest Stadium, Summer Palace and The Great Wall of China. The Ice-cube trip was quite a boring one. We went into the 'ice cube' with the rest of the crowd and we only get to sit in the stadium for like freaking 5mins, so disappointing! However, we had a wonderful time scaling the Great Wall of China, though its super steep. Somehow we managed to reach the summit, after much determination!

The Ice - Cube and

Bird's Nest Stadium!

Thereafter, we started to take the sencery cause we are too tired to smile for the camera. We were all damn tired after walking for god-knows-how-many hours!

Nice!

So artistic!

The scorching sun

My bestie for my 3-years of poly life!

Cooooooool!

Classic view of the jetty

An ancient building

Munching away after so much walking

Nice sky!

After all the boring walks around the ancient palace, we took the train down to shopping paradise again! The train was super crowded as it was a public holiday. We overheard this funny fact that everyone on the train was saying "Alighting first, board later!" Cool man, Singaporeans should learn this too.

Spot me!

The Great Wall of China

Me, Elena and Huiling

Wind there was super strong!

The oh-so-long-Great Wall of China

See how steep it is!

Nice view

Great weather

You will never imagine how many people there are!!

Us at the highest peak!

Made this super nice mug for Ms Ang!

Had lunch at this restaurant which they say is the BEST there!

Reflection!

All of us bought the same Chinese Army jockey cap! Cool man!

Some "garang" pose

Spot it? I was standing on a stool!

Elena acting fierce

We bought so much stuff that we don't know where to keep

LE-NO-VO!

One last pictures of Beijing Jiaotong University

Final day!

Went to Xin Dan even till the last day of our Beijing trip. The things over there are so freaking cheap that you can buy the whole shop down! It is fun bargaining there too, an item which costs Y200, can be reduced till Y60 only, which is only about $12. We were so crazy shopping for stuff over there and there are so many things that we can buy, mainly bags, shirts, pants, bags, heels and shoes. I would like to go back again!

Having our meal at Xindan MacDonald

Last day!

1, 2, 3, 4 with our pretty manicures

We love Beijing!

My father, mother and Alan went to the airport to fetch me on my arrival at Singapore. As it was pouring that day and my dad was driving a lorry with only 2 seaters at the front, Alan had to suffer in the rain at the back of the lorry. Poor Alan was drenched by the time we got home.
