fa la la~

part two of my China post.

 you probably think my trip was disastrous as I was sick. well it was, at the beginning though. on the third day I almost wanted to bail from the Jiu Zai Gou trip and just hide in the hotel, but that wasn't an option as we were gonna stay at a different hotel. boohoo

Day #4

 disheleved looking brothers

during the entire trip, we were entitled to three rooms. mum and dad in one, me and my youngest brother, and the two brothers above in one room.

they were last to arrive at breakfast that morning, and when they did, they both looked tired with their hairs all messy, and proceeded to fill their plates with tonnes of food. haha

we were heading back to ChengDu that day. before leaving for the airport, we did some 'shopping'. first stop was the crystal shop.

 youngest bro's hair resembled Justin Bieber's after taking off his hat, so we made him take this picture. he looks good, doesn't he? :D

didn't buy anything from here. was so tempted to buy a pink bracelet from the place, costing around RM150? regretted not buying it when we left the place, part of me kept telling myself that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to come here should've bought it as a souvenir. bleh. now i'm like, thank goodness i didn't waste money on it. LOL!

 next stop was to buy tea. they let us drink different kinds of tea and even taught us the proper way to drink it. mum bought like.. 5 years worth of tea from the place. -_-

made me kinda pissed after that cause she can buy so much tea and said no to my bracelet?? tsk! haha but well, just glad we got away with a few bags of the above candy. :D

after lunch, we were off to the airport. I wore my sunglasses there, but nobody gave a damn. no one even stopped and looked. common', i thought i looked like a movie star wearing sunglasses indoors but guess I was wrong. HAHA


after less than an hour's flight, we were back in Cheng Du. after the freezing temperature in Jiu Zai Gou (-10 degrees celsius), suddenly 10 degrees felt like nothing.. hahaha

anyways, the tour guide brought us to a famous street. where we can buy food, and also small souvenirs etc.

 saw so many stuffs I could've/would've bought if I had RMB with me, but I didn't so I bought nothing. lol and honestly the stuffs aren't as cheap as everyone say it is. hmm


and before leaving the bus i drew on my eyebrow because i was feeling insecure without my fringe.

while walking, my brother suddenly said to me,

"your brows look weird. like you're wolverine or something."

so I took a pic and here it is:

 hahahaha wtf !! he's actually right.

seriously, dad asks to be the model whenever i raise the camera. -0-

星巴克咖啡 :D

after an hour or two, it was dinner time! :3
tour guide - Alan brought us to this famous 'xiao chi' restaurant. nyum nyum. best dinner we had in China.

sooooooooo many dishes. seriously bloated after that.
notice the white kueh with green liquid oozing out of it? damn that thing tasted like heaven! actually it's just peanut inside but I guess I just miss Malaysian food so much anything Malaysian-like would suffice.

after dinner, we headed back to the hotel. hey, you might think i'd be bored with nothing to do in the hotel. you're wrong!

there's actually some decent China dramas on TV. but the names of the characters are kinda lame. for example - 钱多多(money many many) wtf.

Day #5

the next day, we headed to "Huang Long Xi" Village. another long bus ride to the place...

 the place was huge. many things to see, as usual, the view was amazing. :)
took lots of pictures, tried lots of food. we were having the time of our lives. :D

but one thing about China people - they are very rude.

there was this lady selling rabbits, I asked the price and she wouldn't tell me. why? because she knew I was a tourist, therefore it's not possible for me to buy it and bring it back, therefore she refused to tell me the price. wtf is this? stupid.

one more thing, they're all money minded.
when they see you, they keep asking you to buy things from them. wtf. like move aside bitch you're breathing my air you're in my space. -.-

throwing all the anger aside.. urgh.

while we were enjoying eating, dad suddenly got mad at us because we absentmindedly spoke chinese to each other. i guess he was feeling left out as he didn't understand chinese. so ka-boom. angry dad

frown frown frown. hahaha i'm so mean. :B

don't worry. he got better after awhile.

 the place was huge though. mum kept walking and walking and walking. all of us were like, hey isn't it time to go back yet? LOL

 handsome brother #2

 dad!

 this is what happens when you force me to take a pic. hahaha xD

 cute dog!

after the village, off we were to see the world's biggest Buddha.

 it was a boat ride away~

 wooah right? xD

 damn. i took such a nice photo of it, can use to print postcards. HAHA

 all of us with the giant Buddha. haha me and bro #2 forever alone!! D:

after that, we headed back. and our tour guide said we're going to see the Sleeping Buddha. lol! it's actually the mountains coming together to shape like it.

and it was actually visible in the first boat picture I took, just that none of us noticed before.

the sleeping Buddha, and his....

everyone was like oooh and aahhh~

 til suddenly a girl asked, "hey, what's that thing?" while pointing to the tower at the lower part of the buddha. HAHAHA everyone burst out laughing wtf


anyways, we went to the Ebony Museum after that. bo-o-ring. lolol museums were never my thing, but the ticket wasn't cheap so i tried my best to pay attention.

 dad with the tour guide :]

that night, we had steamboat for dinner! :D

nyums! it was niceeee. but i still prefer the dinner the day before. hahaha :D




x

the end!.. for now. i'll continue in another post hehe.


P/s


getting muh phone tomorrow <3 
can't wait to touch it, smell it, feel it. yuhoo~ 

China !

so here it is, the long overdued China post. :O
I just hope my memory doesn't fail me.

(my bad but i think most of the pics would be of me and my family HAHA)

 at Miri Airport. waiting for our flight to KL! :D

that night, we stayed at Tunes Hotel, since our flight to China is the next morning. and they really weren't kidding when they said the place was small. LOL whut. but I slept like a pig, so no complains. ngehehe. I left my Hello Kitty earrings there though T_T 

thankfully i still have the other half -0- 

Day #1

scrumptious breakfast at KLIA. 

best part of holiday-ing with the fam is that you don't have to pay for food! hehehe :9 

 after 5/6 hours, we arrived at ChengDu, China. :D

 I was reluctant to put on my HK hat cause well, shy mah. /blush

then mum was like put on your hat lah, it's so cold. so I did, and I took a picture to make sure I didn't look ridiculous.

 view from the bus. it was a long walk from the building. wtf. or maybe i just haven't been exercising for awhile.

tried my best to take some nice pics from the bus, but i guess i'm just not gifted in photography -_-

and from the pic above, you can see how many people there are in China. if there's that many people in Miri, i don't think i'd have the mood to go shopping anymore.

all was well until I suddenly got car sick. /facepalm. seriously? that was when we almost arrived at the hotel. and when I get car sick, the feeling won't go away. only sleeping for the whole night will cure it.

as if things weren't bad enough, that night during dinner, the first bite i made, I bit some kind of herb that numbs your whole tongue and just makes my whole body uncomfortable. I shivered like mad after eating it and thus dinner was ruined for me LOL.

but no worries i still can camwhore. hahaha!

that's basically our first day in China. just dinner then rest at the hotel.


Day #2 

 early in the morning, we departed to the airport, heading to another place called Jiu Zai Gou (九寨沟). we were told that the altitude of the place is really high, and that we might have problems breathing. mum definitely didn't make things easier by telling us that we might die if we don't exercise a lot before the trip. -___- yes she really told us that!

but praise the Lord i'm still alive and kicking. xD

i was still feeling nauseous the second day. thus my dead face in most of the pics. I puked inside the bus. wahaha. into a plastic bag mind you. i felt a whole lot better.. for a little while.

after lunch, we went to see a waterfall. it is said that the water from this waterfall is so clean, it prevents aging if you drink from it. lol wtf. but i didn't see anyone selling magical water anywhere so yeah.

guess what, I puked a second time when we arrived at the place. LOL! i don't know why it just feels like such an accomplishment. :p


and I was too weak on the day I handed the camera to my brothers so they can snap some pics of the waterfall. fyi, we had to hike all the way to the top. my goodness.

 youngest bro. i noticed his face looks like this whenever asked to take a pic. haha. i guess that's his 'camera face'.

and this is how my 2nd brother's camera face looks like:

 HAHAHA
 i literally lol-ed when I saw this pic in the camera.

 family pic with the waterfall. :o

guess what? we made friends while waiting for the others. :D
not really sure what these ladies do up there, but my brother dropped his gloves into the water, and one of the woman's son helped pick it up. HE IS SO ATHLETIC DAMN HAHAHAHA. the first leng zai I saw in China! *swoons*

BUT, he refused to take a pic with us. >:(
he's shy oh well.



Day #3

 the night before, I was feeling so bad I didn't have dinner. the next morning during breakfast, some of the others asked why I wasn't there for dinner. aww made me feel so touched. :p

I was feeling much much better that morning. :D

 coffee! :B

it was a very cold morning. -10 degrees celsius. insane!

after breakfast, we went out of the lobby... to see snow! woots. it snowed the night before and therefore, our next destination will be even more beautiful due to the snow. (that's what our tour guide said)

 snow just never gets old :)
i love snow! :D


so we were off to our destination. the famous Jiu Zhai Gou. lots of lakes and waterfalls with gorgeous views there. and silly me left my bag inside the bus cause I thought we were just stopping for toilet break. -__-

dad almost killed me.


so no pictures of all the nice sceneries :c
but I saved a copy in my head though xD

before arriving, the bus driver stopped by the road to put chains on the tyres as it was slippery. and everyone jumped out of the bus and took photos :D

 am I really that short??

 dad and mum :)

fast forward to the end of the day (all because of my forgetfulness)
arrived at yet another hotel, this one's a nice hotel because the prime minister of China stayed here before lmao.

 the room is nice, nescafe provided (hell yeah!) but then again, the food was.... bleh. I really can't stand China food. it just doesn't suit my taste buds.

after dinner, we walked over to the Opera House right beside our hotel. it was damn cold. i'm glad i listened to dad and put on an extra coat.


and thus ends Day #3. so sorry can't continue on to Day #4 because I haven't edited the pictures. and if I don't resize em, it takes forever to upload the pics. owh well.

just wondering though, which do you prefer - uploading the pics one by one, or editing them together like how i did with some of the pics above?  do give me comments! :)
