I'll be back

May 31, 2009
On my last day in Chengdu, I am not alone. I thought about the last time I was here, How I can't wait to get back to Beijing and leave this darn place. Despite all the negative feelings, I realised I've grown attached to this place. Its rich history and culture are enough to blow my socks off. Sometimes I can't believe I'm...

Hou enjoy

May 30, 2009
To reward ourselves for all the possible reasons we could think of, we spent the last 4 days sleeping past noon, shopping and eating! Such indulgence is a luxury for me bcos I'm a poor student in expensive Singapore. Oh yes KFC never tasted so good. On the day of the release of results, we were so nervous and had no mood to...

Naxi Baba

May 28, 2009
We didn't like Panba so we decided to stay at Naxi Mama when we return to Lijiang from Shangrila. It's on the outskirts of the old town and we had problems finding it. We were walking up and down the street with our bags and out of nowhere, a middle-aged lanky man asked where we were going. We thought he's a tout and...

终点中甸

May 28, 2009
As the bus weaved its way through the mountain roads, I rocked to the beat of the music playing in my ears. How strange, for I usually find myself skipping almost every song that comes up on the player. Then I started singing aloud, totally immersed in my own world and it felt like the most enjoyable ride I ever had.I stared out...

Oh, Meili.

May 26, 2009
After a longer than expected journey up to Feilaisi, we've finally come to the last destination of the entire trip. Big sigh from me, I'm running outta steam trying to post all of these. Anyway, the previous few photos you see were painstakingly taken by me as I forced myself to get out of the vehicle while trying to avoid shitting in my...

Full of shit

May 24, 2009
This day can be summarized as... Read on to find out why I wasn't keen on coming here in the first place bcos some pictures I've seen on a stranger's blog gave me the impression that it's a place with lots of greenery, mud and fallen trees in the month of May. But there's no other place we could go in Shangrila with...

Shangrila: Pray, Turn, Dance

May 24, 2009
We started off with a short but strenuous climb (high altitude made me breathless very easily) up to Baiji Temple, a small and relatively run-down temple hidden up on a hill that's just behind Tavern. Nothing special but I like the fact that I'm seeing something in its natural state. The view on top was superb. YEAAAAAAA As we made our way down,...
