Friends of mine...
I know u guys are waiting for this very post...
Sorry for the delay... Due to my laziness...
Suppose to update yesterday... but i practically slept away my whole day.
I really enjoyed myself... eating and shopping and crapping ard with juniors seniors and peers...
But i'm quite surprise that i didn't finish all my money... HAHA!
Something i did like was people can smoke as and when and where they like... that really irritates me...
Prepare urself to read a long post...
I'M STARTING!
18 March 2009 (DAY 01)
This is our very first YEIG & SUI! combined overseas study trip... and we are traveling to Hong Kong and Shen Zhen! This is my very first trip with my juniors seniors and peers of YEIG... also Mr Sim... this trip is especially meaningful while travellin
g with my sticky rice, BAOLING and our dear "bird", bertina... HAHA! Our happiness a
nd excitement is so undescribable... and so we me
t at 230pm to cab down to T3 for lunch cum dinner at POPEYES... Like i say... i'm very excited cox i'm travelling with my sec friends on a poly trip... But the very first thing we did when we reached the airport was to weigh our beautiful luggage... its was one of my lightest luggage in HISTORY@9.8kg... and with the high-ness we had... we started taking photos... im trying my best to capture every single moments... after our makan we somehow bang into eileen and yiting and their BFs... and we all travelled to T2 and then to Budget Terminal together... This is also my first time going to the budget terminal taking budget airline and walking upright to the plane and climbling up... we also had a great time on the plane... SLEEPING... with my newly brought piglet... and mr sim came and peep at me... OMGoodness... and that bertina went to take a picture of
me... towards the last hour on the plane... me, baoling and bertina PLAYED BINGO!!! so fun... while we are about to touch down... but we are still in the sky... baoling said... "i think we landed..." my question is... "how can the plane land without a land?" bertina add-on... "ask baoling!" HAHA! and we finally touched down... and after going through the immigration it was already 12midnight... and somehow we ended up at gate 12... then we traveled to our 5-start hotel... not very 5-star also... after checked in we went to our room... all of us had our supper... we were all hungry... after awhile we realised that our room had some problems... so we change our room to the so called "PRESIDENT ROOM" haha... settled down and only slept ard 340am... HAHA!
19 March 2009 (DAY 02)
Early morning at 715am... i went to gave morning call to the gals... then all of us met at 8am for our buffet breakfast! YUMYUM! so many place i travelled to... china has the most healthy food... LESS OIL LESS SALT LESS SUGAR! after breakfast all gathered at the lobby and waited for the bus to come... today will be a time to all the IT Places... Now, at 945am we are on our way to the IT(MOUSE) Factory... around noon.. we arrived at the "IT" WORLD... it's a stretch of road of IT Wholesale buildings, in another words, its also the IT "ORCHARD ROAD". I guess it was really amazing by the price of things we get from there. ive gotten a webcam for S$12.40, A 4Gb MP4 for S$31.60, a 32Gb thumbdrive for S$22.60. all u need to do is to go and bargin and check that the goods are workable! we also had pretty good food... we tasted their la mian, xiao long bao, fried and steam dumplings. and also porkribs with GLOVE! we ate alot of things but at a very cheap price... After the IT Wholesales we went to the Gifts and stationary wholesales. they really sell alot of soft toy, ranging from the smallest to the largest. as small as a key chain to as huge as my dear piglet at hm... and our very dear and kind mr sim brought soft toys for HE'S DEAR YEIG GALS! so i got a cute PIGLET... and there were also shops selling bags... i brought a bag for S$6.80 and it has a laptop conpartment as well... after which we travelled to DONG MEN NIGHT MARKET... Once again we were brought to a good eating place... the only comment have about food there is that its either extremely healthy/oily/salty... HAHA! this night market that we shopped in is very similar to our very "BUGIS STREET" just that it is 2-3 times bigger. not too bad... but thank God for mr sim by being there making sure of our safety. and from there i brought a pair of converse shoe for S$27.10. after one whole day of fun, laughter and shopping we are all tired! **HOTEL-SWEET-HOTEL**
20 March 2009 (DAY 03)
today is a exceptional day... that we got tobe up really early. cox we are travelling out of shen zhen to HONG KONG! Everyone is full of excitement... first we tour around kowloon area... initially our first stop was a clothing wholesale place but when we reached we realised we are too early and its all not opened... so everything is pushed foreward... so our official first stop was the Jade Market... somehow it gave me a very different experience of how it was like. cox in HK drama, when they feature the jade market is like in a open space and vendors place the jade on the ground but the one i visited was like those wet market kind of settings back in SG! but i didn't buy anything from there. i feel very uncomfortable, very gods feeling... After which we drove "UNDERWATER" our so called CTE to the HONG KONG ISLAND... we drove up to the peak... that was really a great scenery... then after that we drove past ocean park and floating restuarant... then next stop was to standley market... nothing much there also... after that we went to "lan kuey fong" its like our SG's clarke quay... in between we had our lunch... they ordered too much food i guess... i mean too much VEGETABLES... one thing i realised... out of 8 dishes 4-5 dishes are VEGE... and ppl in YEIG dont take VEGE... mr sim, bertina eileen and agnes... and then kayden sally and yun yann had a quick lunch and they went off for shopping... and the poor me baoling and yiting tried our best to finish up the food... and once again i mean the VEGE! and im amazed by the number of bowls of rice mr sim ate... i went WOW! at night... we went to the ladies market... we spent alot of time there... but i only brought a wallet... haha... for S$12... then we went pass this bing jia... and i brought 2 boxes of lao pao bing... for S$9.60... and we wentt for late dinner and then met the rest of the people... and once again... **HOTEL-SWEET-HOTEL**
21 March 2009 (DAY 04)
we had early breakfast... and is also our last breakfast... after breakfast we went back to our room to withdraw our luggage... then check out... then after that we set off to go OIL PAINTING VILLAGE... brought a few paintings... nice nice ones... brought 4 paintings... for S$15.80... then after that we had lunch and this resturant with broken utensils... haha... after lunch we head down to DONG MEN again... to shop... and the real shopping spirit of me really came... i brought 2 purse, 3 bags, 1 top. we also a great finale dinner... part of it sponsored by mr sim... and after that we rushed our way off to the airport... only reach SG Airport at ard 4am... thank God my uncle came to fetch me... if nt i dont think i will make it to church on time...
at the end of this trip... i really understand why goods are MADE IN CHINA... and the culture of the chinese... and also when u stay with the people for a few days u will understand their behavior, their likes and dislikes...
I thank God for my dear YEIG people whom made this trip special and a joyful one for me... also thank God for the advisors... i definitely learnt something meaningful...
** side note... i thank God on sun morning i made my way to church... at 7am when my alarm rang... i was like... shd i go or not go... somehow i got a thought that... since im so tired my as well just sleep in... but i thank God i went... cox i rmb telling God that i will go... i want to stay faithful... so i went... i know i didn't make the wrong choice... cox the word sink right into my heart... something for me to learn this week was... FEAR AND OBEDIENCE!!! i knew very clearly from what God has spoken... i needed to fear God more... and obey God without procrastination... and always let my YES BE AN YES AND A NO BE A NO!**
