Adventures @ China!
Jun 30th
I AM BACK AGAIN! :D
This post will be mad full with photos, from China! Butbut, they are not in any chronological order because by now I’ve forgotten all the littlest details. Like which place did we travel first, and later, etc.
The tourist attraction we went!!
I have to say, this is one of the best attraction we went to. Not purely because I’m a Buddhist, but because it was really worth your time, worth your sweat climbing nearer to the Buddha’s statue. And not forgetting, I’m so proud to be a Buddhist! The following photos will tell.
The name of the Buddha♥
This is the magnificent Buddha statue, standing at 180m tall, if I'm not wrong!
The steps I mentioned, worth your sweat and perspiration. (:
A close up photo!
You see tiny little humans slightly above the lotus? Thats the closest we could go – to touch the Buddha’s feets. Like the Chinese saying goes “凌时抱佛脚”. haaa!
In order to enter the world's most magnificent(!!!) temple..
Yessss, they had to protect the temple, so we had to wear protective shoe covers!!! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT AS WELL. Because I’ve never seen a temple more magnificent, more luxurious, more majestic, more impressive, and I could go on and on.. I’ve always visited churches which are outstanding, nice and all, but not temples, and this is my FIRST. It beats all the temples I’ve visited hands down.
One part of the ceiling.
Colourful little Buddha statue.
I’m still in the midst of figuring out how to show you the temple because I took an overall video of the inside. It’d be too exhausting to capture every area of the temple using photos! I’d need hundreds of photos to show you them all. HEHE.
The outside of the temple!
My lovely parents & I!
A better view of the whole area
The birth of Buddha!!
This is the lotus that depicts how Buddha was born!
Buddha is born!
see how the lotus opens up?
*My apologies I have 0 intentions to publicise my religion on my blog but I have to show you what I find really impressive. I hope its an eye-opener to you too! The temple was only completed in the recent years because the last time I was here, it wasn’t existent yet.*
I did a jump shot infront of Buddha's palm. lol!
How the palm looks like!
Some really random photos up next!
If only I could bring it back...
Its a Hello Kitty storage box! They have HK all overrrr, I want!!!
JUMBO XXL WANGWANGs.
Then our first day @ the Shanghai World Expo 2010!!!
Australia Pavilion, like what it reads.
Singapore Pavilion!
I’m still pissed at myself for forgetting to give this pavilion a visit! Now I wonder whats inside…
Malaysia Pavilion! Really got the 'feeeel'.
And yes, we visited this pavilion because we didn’t need to queue!!! *flashes Malaysia passport*
Guess what?
YESS, China!
None other than the formidable China Pavilion!!
A better one!
WE WERE HAPPY.
Because we thought we could omit all the queuing as we were told we managed to ‘reserve/book’ to visit this China Pavilion. Express lane hor, see no queue behind one.
Turns out that, there's another queue inside!
Look at the crazy crowd. So apparently after you manage to ‘reserve’ a timing to visit this pavilion, you only omit the primary queue. There’s a secondary one waiting for you inside. And it took us nearly two hours to get in.
Lots of time to camwhore.
This is ME, cous, and cous-in-law. (:
A group photo (((((((:
After we came out!
A last glance @ China Pavilion!
If you’re wondering, I’d say China Pavilion was worth the 2-hours-queue. It was awe-inspiring inside, they showed the world what China could do. Thumbs up!! Its the best pavilion we visited. And also because we didn’t visit that many in the first place. HAHA. But I assure you, if the queue is only two hours, its worth the wait.
That rabbit: Macau Pavilion!
And beside = Hong Kong Pavilion! Didn’t manage to visit both.
India Pavilion and something else.
I really liked the aerial design on the India Pavilion. The crowd was overwhelming as well so we didn’t visit it too.
ice-cream endorsed by Luo Zhi Xiang and Angela Zhang!
Tried this ice-cream just because of lzx. It wasn’t awful but not nice either.
Notices at the start of the queue for Germany Pavilion
It warns: Queuing time for the Germany Pavilion is 5 hours. F-I-V-E. No kidding.
Korea Pavilion!
Again in closer up shot!
I love how the Korea Pavilion looks. Colourful and all!
One last photo!
It was crowded like this everywhere. Wherever there is a need to QUEUE.
It turns us off! We’ll never win the locals when it comes to queuing. Zzz. Packed like sardines!
SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D
My favourite!
This photo reminds me that I’ve yet to try these biscuits! :)) And I realise alot of the local brand products are endorsed by artistes!
&& One last photo..
The famous Shanghai Pearl Tower..
G’night!!!! I took afew hours to complete this entry! Mad exhausted!
Holidays are bliss!
Jun 29th
It feels like its been quite awhile since I last blogged. I feel lost, like detached to my blog. And I don’t know what to blog.
I’m glad some of you still visits anna.my! Because I’m back to my daily updates, as often as possible, as much as I can manage! :D so visit me whenever you’re on alright!
That aside, I’m gonna write about my much procrastinated China trip earlier this month! Hehe, finally, before June comes to an end.
This was the mode of transport we took when we were at the airport. Its something like our MRT train but this particular type of train travels via magnetic forces.. LOOK AT THE SPEED.
Its called the “MagLev” Train, so basically it travels by magnetic levitation and thus there is hardly any friction between the train and the rails, thus the SPEED. :D Thats what I understand about it, correct me if I’m wrong!
Presenting to you.. The Shanghai World Expo 2010 Mascot! Its called 海宝!! Such a cute name right, in direct translation, it means “Water Baby”. I totally adore it, though I agree with my brothers there’s absolutely nothing very captivating about this blue thing over here.
But anyway throughout my 9 days over @ China, I see this mascot EVERYWHERE I go, no joke, everywhere. I’d still crazily and excitedly tell someone about it but my younger brother never fails to dim me shut and ask me to stop rambling about this stupid-blue-thing. HAHA. He hates it to the core.
This was first on our itinerary immediately after lunch. I think we were at Hang Zhou. We took a little cruise along the 西湖 “west lake”, I think. Apparently I learnt that it was an artifical man-made lake that was dug long long ago..
Afterwhich, it was to this pagoda-like building. The middle photo is the name of this pagoda.
The middle pictures at both sides are the sculptures found inside. They are really impressively nicely carved, to the finest details.
Afterwhich we also visited this 西湖。新天地 place. A really westernised tourist attraction. And why do I say westernized? They have Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, Costa Coffee, etc.
Its situated along a lake..a PLUS point :D
From what I can remember, thats our day one. Super tiring one because it was a mid-night flight, meaning when we reached, it was time to travel around! Its those times that I really loved going back to the hotel, drop dead on bed and slack for abit before bathing and sleeping early. BLISSS♥♥♥.
If you needed a reason to love yourself.. I’d give you aplenty to! :D
& I hope this brightens up your day. Because all these sweet little photos did brighten up mine! ♥
(I’d continue with the rest of the days! Now that I’ve gotten the full collection of photos, I pretty much don’t know where to start..because, I simply have toooo many photos!)
For the memories
Jun 25th
Cheers to my return!
My apologies I really had no time to leave a post before I left for camp on Monday morning. Work drains me out and messes up my blogging regime all the time.
but thats not the point!
The point is that I attended a camp that is by far, the best camp I’ve ever had! ((:
Since young, I wasn’t a really ‘camp’ person and up my twentieth year of life, the number of camps I’ve attended was countable with the fingers on my hand.
The thing I hate about camps are the HEAVY load I have to bear to and fro, the inconvenience of queuing up and bathing (I’m impatient!), the tiredness, etc. BUT, NUS SCamp’10 was worth EVERY BIT.
Scamp was the camp name of the Science Faculty in NUS.
My house was called Costello and we were represented by the colour YELLOW, group name was Chrysler! Yes, we were named after the brand of cars!
SEEEEEE, so cute!
If you can recognise, the theme characters are from the PSP game Patapon! HAHA, cute max!
That isn’t the point either!
The point is, Scamp was totally awesome because of the people I met. Our OGL, aOGL, seniors and fellow freshies like me! :D:D:D They are a bunch of people who were so fun and easy to get along with. (Although I admit it didn’t felt that easy on the first day, but slowly as the days past, everybody including me opened up and it was good!)
Thank you Chrysler, FOR THE MEMORIES!
May we keep in touch with each and everyone as often as possible, this is what I call friendship to be kept!
We also won ourselves the ‘BEST OG’ title. Pretty sums up how awesome we are, right? HAHAHA!
I’ll blog with photos if I get them!
Finalé of Universal Studios photos. See you soon, USS!
Jun 16th
The bad thing about procrastination, and overdue photos. Decided I’d continue with our photos from Universal Studios Singapore because I’ll lose the mood to update in no time if I don’t do it now!
I came up with animated gifs for those photos showing continuous camwhoring shots, for your viewing pleasure!! I reckon no one would click the photos ONE BY ONE since we really took alot! I admit I wouldn’t click photos one by one to see if they’re all continuous camwhore shots too. haha! Sometimes 20-30 photos at the same area. YES, we are camwhore freaks. Beat us to that! HAHA!

And here’s our gif!
These set of photos ain’t exactly perfect because of sunlight shining at the position which don’t benefit us! :( We could only position our cameras where there’s something tall with a flat platform for self-timer shots!
Really love the background of this but it was a tad too bright! Look at the castles! PRETTTAYEEE!
This is a crazy set. we have a total of 30 photos in this animation. Crown us da camwhore award? :D
close up shots!
This set consists of 20 photos! Nice vintage cars! But we still love the boxes the most!!
HEHE, we have epic fail jump shots too. Out of 10 shots taken and NONE turned out good. :P Realised BBB and WQ’s jumping timing is the same = lag time almost the same!! HAHA.
BBB and me! :] HEHEHE.
While waiting for another show to start!
This was outside supposingly Shrek’s house, I remember!!
being baby dinos for a split second!
Final camwhore series before we left USS! *nostalgic*
OKAY. I’m offically over and done with USS. Bye bye USS. Thanks for the great fun, but not fun queuing! HAHA! See you again sooon, USS.
I miss the trip all over again, like how I felt the other time when I was writing the previous entries. Thank you for all the fun!
Wq, hope you’re doing fine @ TMU! Gotta book out this weekend! HAVE FUN OKAY! :]
BBB and RY’darl, we need to hang outzz. I’m having hang overs of not meeting you girls! heehee. have fun during your trip btw! wished I could join in the fun..!
Anyway. I read something that struck me dumbfounded. I was unaware of the situation at all. Anybody can hate me for who I am, but please don’t hate me for what you THINK i am. I don’t feel good at all after reading, it kinda affected me. To see such comments from someone I don’t really know, and have met for barely 10 times. Too fast to judge anything, no? I shall give it a thought, and reflect on my own behavior.
I’m not even sure if that comment was judgemental. Okay forget it.
Prince of Persia: a LATE movie review
Jun 16th
I finally caught Prince of Persia: The sands of time in the theatres today!!! Guess you wouldn’t imagine how elated I was!
Was intending to catch Karate Kid since I expected this movie to be removed from the big screens by now!! And even when I checked the movie time slots for Karate Kid, I merely pressed on this movie and ignored the others on the list that were showing.
Anyhow, met my sissy @ causeway point and we headed to the box office to buy our tickets. Man, the queue was extremely long, then, I remembered it was the vacations! While queuing, sissy realised that Prince of Persia was still showing! Ensuring that she was okay with this flick, we both agreed to watch it first before it gets removed! There were only 3 slots left. I WAS SO HAPPY! :]
Had been hearing too much from people who’d caught the movie earlier and I was really determined to catch it, and TA-DA I finally did today!
I AM SO LOVIN’ THE PRINCE OF PERSIA. CAN HE BE MINE??
Those who watched the movie already should know exactly which prince I’m referring to. The smart one whose really agile and all. His tactics and movements were really intelligent! THUMBS UP for the prince of persia!
MY PRINCE CHARMING!
Okay he’s not exactly extremely handsome but his brain is the one that makes him charming!!
Besides, the Princess of ________ (I can’t remember, but there’s only one princess in the show), was gorgeous too. Really really pretty, and she really got that graceful princessy-look. Awwww.
With regards to the movie, on the overall, I’d say its worth your moolahs!! Interesting story, and I didn’t expect the story to turn out that way. So I was a little surprised, and I like it. It also reminds me of what humans can do, in order to gain/get something they want. Even your closest kin can betray you, just so he gets what he wants. I guess thats reality.
I’d rate the movie 4/5!!!
PRINCE OF PERSIA♥!
(p.s.: it was really hard to find movie posters as they were all in the cartoon form! really don’t like it!)
There’s only 3 time slots left when I caught it today, so faster go watch before its gone okay!!
Today was a goodgood day. I really enjoyed my day to the maximum! Its been months since I met sissy, and we really enjoyed each other’s company today! ♥♥♥ Sissy!
THIS IS MY SISSY!♥
CUTE NOT!
:)
LAST ONE!
Besides, I joined Yvonne, Kai Wei, Koon Phi and Iyeu for a mahjong session at night, shortly after I reached home! Superrrrrrrr fun!! Yvonne and I teamed up and joined forces and we won.. RM 1 on the overall. haha! Better than losing, I guess. Thats always my motto. lol!
Improvised mahjong table!
You see that piece of blue blanket tied with a rubber band eh? It was what we used to reduce the amount of noise when we play! No proper table, no mahjong paper, NEVERMIND! I’m sure you have at least a piece of cloth at home right, and some rubber bands/rafia strings to secure it prevent it from moving! HEHEHE.
Decent looking Mahjong table yay!
See, it looks perfectly normal! And really reduces the sound quite alot!
The guys.. Koon Phi looks *serious*
No picture of the girls because we all loook chui-ed. HEHE, next time perhaps!!
My hands are itchy, I love mahjong!
Awesome day! :D
