Welcoming the water dragon year
Sunday, Jan 22, 2012 5:42PM / Standard Entry
I'm back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year celebrations. Later will be going out for reunion dinner with my extended family, this is the second year we have so many relatives together for the reunion dinner. When I was very young, I remember going back to my grandma's house for the reunion dinner. Many many years later, we have our own reunion dinner at my own house with just my parents & my sisters - this has been on-going for many many years till last year when we started to have extended family dinner again. Look at how's things has changed over the years. I'm looking forward for a grand reunion dinner again. And I want to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai & Happy New Year!!!! HUAT AHHH......
Traffic from the city centre back to my hometown is extremely heavy.....looks like everyone is making the exodus out from the city centre to their respective hometown. It's worth all the effort coz Chinese New Year is about togetherness & family warmth. So I hope everyone have a great celebrations.

Beijing Again!!! Well not confirmed yet
Tuesday, Oct 4, 2011 11:56PM / Standard Entry
Last year my boss said that if we hit target this year, will organise a company trip to Beijing. However, this year he said the trip to be postponed to next year. Actually I'm not so keen to go Beijing because I've been there in year 2005, I prefer if the trip is to somewhere I've never been before. But now, I doubt if he will honour his words coz he keeps on changing his mind etc....Anyway, I don't care...coz I think if the trip is on, it's a bonus to me.
Well, let me share some of my Beijing photos back in 2005. I remember the first day we touched down, the temperature soared up to 40 degrees, the highest in 40 years. It was in June 2005 & i bought this package during MATTA FAIR. At that time, I worked in a travel agency. The package is quite cheap only costs each of us RM1500++, that's why I grabbed it & I went with 1 of my sister. She still studying in Uni at that time. Since this is a group tour, we have another maybe 15 travel companions. Our group is really fun group. I remember in our group - we have 1 Indian couple, 1 mother & daughter pair, 1 uncle & auntie pair, 2 young Chinese couple, 1 family which consists of parents & daughter & son-in-law. Even though we do not know each other but we having fun travelling together.
Buying a cheap package comes with some consequences - haha....it's means shopping shopping & shopping...The tour guide & tour leader will bring you to many places to buy, buy & buy as they earned commission by bringing tourists to buy products from the shop. Everyday they bring us to different shops - I remember the first stop is Chinese Tea & I've bought some expensive tea which till now still haven't finished drinking. They also brought us to jade shop, pearl shop, Chinese medicine shop - Bao Fu Ling (the famous one) & another shop (which I don't know the name) but I remember it's situated inside the Confucious Temple. And also silk & some Chinese deco(don't know what it's called in English) but in Chinese is called as 京泰蓝(don't know my translation in Chinese is correct or not) but it sounds like this. It's a good experience for me - I remind myself not to buy so much on my next holidays coz it's just wasting $$$$$....
Anyway, here's some of the photos I took:
At Tiananmen Square....our flight is midnight flight, reached Beijing Airport early in the morning & we straightaway come to Tiananmen Square....many people & tour groups.
There's a countdown to 2008 Olympic board then......
Watching Acrobatic show at night.
This must be Summer Palace...can't remember exactly.
Spend more than RM300 buying tea in this outlet - unfinished
At a Chinese Medicine Shop, I don't understand why we are doing this?
Temple Of Heaven......Such a big & huge area
Ahem....Great Wall Of China....we've got the certificates
Beijing Underground City - very impressed with this features - used to be secret but now already open for visitor.
The Shaolin Kungfu Show ......Interesting show
At Chengde Potala Palace....If I still can remember correctly...
Costume for rental....cheap cheap - we are transformed to Princesses in olden times haha...I love this!

I remember I wrote Halo September not too long ago....now already it's October....Phew...Time Flies.....Well, Q3 is not exactly a good period for me as too many incidents happened. I injured myself while doing yoga, I slipped again, I didn't hit my sales target & sales dropped a lot. My health got worse, hormone imbalanced, stress level up, feel very down & demotivated.......OMG!!!How can this happened to me. For people who do not know me really well, they thought I'm always a HAPPY GO LUCKY person....But IN ACTUAL FACT....I"M NOT!!! I hope the past will be the past & will always look for better FUTURE.....Let's GO ALL OUT for the LAST QUARTER of 2011 & achieve our goals....your goals & my goals as well!!
