I'm Alive

Finally decided to get my lazy ass of the wadevea n start a post. Soooooo..its 2007 and many things have happened. Well firstly the overseas trip to Chengdu and Lijiang in China was fun.

1st Day:_
Well we gathered at Changi Airport at about 5.00am? on 11 of jan. Then all the basic stuff happend , check luggage blah blah..flght to Chengdu was about 4 and 1/2 hrs? So lots of stoning in da plane ( China Airlines). Reached Chengdu, Ate lunch n went to DuJiangYan which is supposed to be some irrigation project set up long long time ago?( Am i getting this rite?). Then back to hotel, dinner and slp (gt some free time in between lah..)

2nd Day:_
Woke up at 5.30 am? Got ready although we ( Shing n me) were ridiculously early...hmm.The day's programmes were goin to Wolong Nature Reserve to see some PANDAS! Yay. The trip took like 4hrs?? then we saw the Pandas for like 1hr+? lol. Bought a souvenier(Sp?) from the shop there. A panda soft toy u might call it. Now comes the interesting part. The 1 and only road to the reserve (which is up in the mountains) closes at 3 as some tunnel work has to be done. We reach the road at 3.30 Oo. So we were stuck. the tourguides were trying to negotiate with the authorities n the governor was also informed oO. Now comes the more interesting part. We are allow to pass but the workers have already laid dynamite in teh tunnel so they have to com back n detonate the dynamites and then clear the rubble for us to pass. the whole thing took 6hrs..so 6hrs in the bus..but it was fun. good bonding time lol. Jokes were shared and it was the most memoriable part of the trip. We reached the hotel at 12 midnite and guess what? We had dinner LOL.

3rd Day:_
Due to the incident yesterday, wake up call was at 8.30 LoL. so slp slp slp. The CIP at the Primary School had to be cancelled so we only went to the HuangLongXiOldTown before catching a domestic flight to Lijiang. Then go hotel slp lol.

4thDay:_
The day's events were quite interesting as we will be expriencing high altitude. We went to YunShanPing and YuLongXueShan. While we climbed the mountain, i only managed to get to 4591m above sea lvl b4 i had to go down. The peak was 4680m above sea lvl. U can really feel the difference up there. Just by climbing a few steps u feel as if u just ran your 2.4km or more Oo. Some of my friends vomitted due to altitude sickness while others felt dizzy n had headaches bt all in all it was really fun.

5th Day:_
Todae we went to TigerLeapingGorge which is this super big gorge with a river running through it. The scenery was beautiful. Legend has it that in order to run from a hunter, a tiger leaped from one side of the gorge to a rock in the middle before umping to the other side, thus giving the gorge its name. Later we visited a hydrostation which was...Boring?

6th Day:_
Today we were supposed to shop of items to sell during the charity bazaar. So we were split up into groups n off we went. My group bought handmade dolls for 1.80 Sing dollars each and sold them for $10 each during the charity bazaar XD. After that during the evening we took a flight back to Chengdu.

7th Day:_LAST DAY
Todae is basically slack bt we stayed in a freaking nice hotel on the last day. We went to this museum containg artifacts of the ShangXingDui which is some ancient chinese civilisation. Then it was free time at some shopping district where i bought a pair of shoes and a jacket. 2hrs..nth much to see...hmm...soon after it was home sweet home. Reached Singapore at 12 Midnite+ and basically thats it....

Thats a big mouthful.....well at least im alive?
