Personal - Random November

Hi Blog,

Looking back my Randomness on October, there were so many things to be grateful for - from my neck, food, and people around me. Thank you, Heaven for taking care of me. For Nov, with my new phone and replaced camera; hopefully, I will take more good quality pictures. Let it burns with my hotness!

Trip - Beijing - Day 7 - GongDeLin Vegetarian Restaurant 功德林素菜饭馆

Hi Blog,

As you observed every meal that I had these days, are rather "pathetic" but in fact, I was very grateful; not that I don't have anything to consume, I have!

So ZQ and BC happened to find a vegetarian place while they cycled back to their hotel yesterday.

So MQ and they wanted me to have a good meal, bless their soul.

Trip - Beijing - Day 7 - Beijing Zoo 北京動物園

Hi Blog,

It was our seventh day. Many of them felt the soreness around their calves and feet but I don't feel anything at all. I guess the long distance hiking has trained me well.

Today it seemed like we had seen enough of Beijing - China ancient architects and cleared some of the common ones.

Trip - Beijing - Day 7 - JunAn Hotel 君安賓館

Good Morning Blog,

It will be a short post. My mother and auntie woke up early to pack their stuff and cannot wait to get out of here.

Morning street seemed busy at Beijing

Personally, I felt grateful that we had a peaceful and undisturbed three days stay, but not everyone will feel the same on how I feel; I also don't expect them to.

Trip - Beijing - Day 6 - Great Wall of China 長城

Hi Blog,

This China trip was really an eye opener or I will say "it is like experiencing it alive"!

It was like 35 - 45 mins bus ride away from the city before we can see the mountains

Trip - Beijing - Day 6 - Flag Rising Ceremony 升旗

Good Morning Blog,

Today we engaged a tour agent to plan the day trip for us which include the Great Wall of China at a good deal.

Don't know why... I felt rather insecure...

Our first itinerary is witnessed the China Flag Rising Ceremony. Sounded so exciting and got to see some grand entrance etc etc.

Trip - Beijing - Day 5 - BeiHai Park 北海公園

Hi Blog,

After visited Forbidden City, we walked a short direction to our next stop - BeiHai Park.

Here is the place!

Beihai Park was an imperial garden before and it is one of the largest of all Chinese gardens where contains numerous historically structures, palaces, and temples.

Trip - Beijing - Day 5 - Forbidden City 紫禁城

Good Morning Blog,

After yesterday headache episode, hope today will be a peaceful one and we will be going to visit the main tourist attraction - TianAnMen

Just like this wording above 德必有鄰。That explains a lot how we should be in our daily life.

子曰：「德不孤，必有鄰。」(《論語·裡仁第四》)
【註釋】
有品德的人，必有鄰居。表示有德的人，必有同類的人和他親近，絕不會孤獨無助。與「得道多助」義同。
【語譯】
孔子說：「有道德的人是不會孤立的，一定會有志同道合的人與他相處。」

Translate: (Best so far)
"With virtue there is no solitude; there is always company."
Better than Google Translation (What a joke)
"Germany not alone must be a neighbor."

Trip - Harbin - Day 4 - Train to Beijing

Good Morning Blog,

Yawning... We left the motel and took an early 'grab' (a slightly bigger vehicle) to Harbin Train Station.

Days at Harbin were short, hope I will come here again

Trip - Harbin - Day 3 - WanDa Mall 萬達茂

Hi Blog,

It will be a short post. Here we will be going to an 'Atas'.

We came back from our morning shopping trip and after a while, we were about to move out for somewhere 'atas'! One more selfie shot for my nice soft hair.

Trip - Harbin - Day 3 - MaKeWei Commercial Building 瑪克威商廈

Good morning Blog,

Have you ever wondered how the condition of the goods are, behind the professionally-taken pictures online?

Thanks MQ, he will bring us to a place which will drive us crazy.

Well, here is one place where you will see the raw stage of goods and how they are traded.

Trip - Harbin - Day 2 - Night Shopping

Hi Blog,

It will be a short post, I just want to show you around the shopping malls nearby our hotel stay.

They built a lot of skyscrapers and turned them into hotels. This district is located in the heart of Harbin.

Trip - Harbin - Day 2 - SongHua River 松花江

Hi Blog,

My mother's wish is to visit the ice festival at Harbin; but based on the locals, they told us that we came at the wrong period, as the festive will only begin at the coldest period - January.

But MQ won't want to disappoint us, he drove us to a place where I only study on textbook

Trip - Harbin - Day 2 - Chinese BaRoQue District 中華巴咯克歷史文化街區

Hi Blog,

I just love to understand how other people live their life in a different environment/world from me. Like if they won't be spending money to shopping malls or super markets for their daily needs, so where will they be.

MQ brought us to a flea-market and maybe we might find something interesting there.

Trip - Harbin - Day 2 - Morning Errands

Good morning Blog and Harbin!

I didn't have a good rest because the hard bed platform and soft pillow; is bad combination.

What will we be doing on the second day at Harbin?

Trip - Harbin - Day 1 - To the Hotel

Yoh Blog,

So excited to arrive Harbin safely and enjoyed the free air-conditioning weather. After a 20 minutes ride, we finally reached the city.

Harbin Airport :) Begin my blogging session

Trip - Harbin - Day 1 - Flying To Harbin

Good Morning Blog,

It was 430am, I can't really sleep that well but the day has finally come - the China trip which we had planned and purchased flight tickets since March.

Now waiting for my brother to fetch us to the airport before going to work. Bless him for doing that.

Personal - My Macaron Craze Day

Hi Blog,

Today was my last company staff retreat with MCE, as I will be switching job but still stay at the same workplace, doing administrative stuff. I won't go into detail because today post isn't about my job switching but about the fun day with my colleagues for the last time.

This is our first time having staff retreat outside company compound and hosting at Funsiamo SG.

Funsiamo SG (link and facebook) is an interesting place where you can learn to bake and bond with friends.

Plants - SG VFT Survivor Clones - 9th Update

Hi Blog,

It has being a while since I updated my VFT growing experience. (here is the previous post #8th update) Honestly, my interest on VFT is dying off... one because I don't want to stain D's reputation with my failure and it is not a cheap hobby.

I bought another pot of live sphagnum moss because I wanted to grow more of them too.

Hiking - Loads of GIF IV

Good Morning Blog,

Due to showering on Saturday morning, I predicted Sunday morning will also.

Yes, I was right, it rained, but really... I don't care anymore. Rain won't stop me to go hiking!

Today hiking, I will be meeting my dongsaeng, K for a hike. He has not visited quarry before, so I become a quarry guide.

Personal - Helping Out a Wedding Proposal

Hi Blog,

Share with you something exciting, my bro, WY wanted to make a surprise proposal to his girlfriend and visited me to help out.

On Friday night, my friends and I went down to orchard central to setup the place.

Food - Joie Restaurant

Hi Blog,

Today post will be a focus on a posh restaurant which I have one of the Sumptuous vegetarian meal ever!

Interesting lighting outside the restaurant

Jogging - Testing the Phone Camera

Hi Blog,

It is a short post regarding my jogging experience while testing my new phone, BV9500 Pro camera.

But because my new photographer needs some support, so I give it some spider legs. Isn't it creepy and cute?

Let's see how good it is.
