30th Oct

yes, i found out the date.. Day 4 in Beijing… went to Summer Palace, this is the place for the emperor to stay during summer… apparently the “main” Palace that’s in the heart on Beijing was too hot for the empress during the summer…  *sweat*  it’s true…

PA300466

Alot of trees, to keep the temperature low i think...

This place is so very cold, smart phoebe wore short skirt some more…

PA300468

so adorable! aawww...

Very Super Chubby little bird, and it’s blue in colour… not the whole bird lar…

PA300472

Very happy to have it

Was very very cold, and a lil hungry, so bought this mee in cup is keep my hands warm and my tummy happy(?)…

PA300483

at one of the look out points

erm, i dont think that’s the sea, but rather a lake…

PA300492

a corridor of paintings

and mind you, it’s a very loooong stretch of corridor.. and there are no repeated paintings…

PA300500

Water mark - literally

it’s just not water, it will dry up very very fast….

then we went and try Beijing’s McD! My friend said got pork burger, but cant find lar… the waitress said dont have :(

PA300513

Taste better than Malaysia wan leh!

Then across the street, its a VERY VERY famous shopping complex! muahahaha!

PA300514

Xiu Shui Jie

so we walked walked walked and walked walked until it’s time for dinner! And guess what?

PA300518

DUCKIE!!!

PA300565

Very famous for its Peking Duck

Now i shall teach you how to eat Peking duck…

PA300545

1st. you eat the skin (reminds me of suckling piglet) Yummy!

PA300549

The chef will slice the duck in front of you

PA300552

place a "popiah skin"

PA300554

add in a slice of the meat and a some "sweet" sauce

PA300555

then you may add in as many strips of leek and onion to it

PA300556

wrap it the way you would wrap the normal kinda popiah. & Voila!

The waiters actually “performed” the steps of eating Peking duck to us upon my aunty’s request. Then hor, that waiter was going to feed me some more, so paiseh lar, but because he was standing in such an odd position i gestured him to just put in on my plate… btw, the step by step instructions above is done by me, the waiter didnt even wrap as nicely as i did… HAHAHA!

OH! you got to ask them to give you the sisa of the duck, with it you can boil a pot of soup or even cook porridge… aint joking! 

Gosh, my tummy is growling… the other dishes are:

PA300539

some kinda of abalone with asparagus

PA300540

Fried rice. Nice but oily

PA300542

Salad, not sure if i like it

PA300541

my cup of tea

PA300535

and not forgetting my cup of beer...

In this reataurant is much much much cheaper to order a cup of tea compare to a pot of tea…

remembering this day last year (2008)…

… i was in Beijing. Ah, the cold weather; the strong breeze; my uncle’s mansion; his very playful dogs: Harry and Potter, still remember me screaming when i saw Harry running towards me when i first arrived at his house… hmmm… i am still trying to figure out the date i flew there… Time flies… Beijing is really not bad afterall… oh yea, and… HAHAHA, i am still not done blogging about my Beijing trip until today, been lazy and procrastinating. :P

Where did i stop? i think neither of us remember… hahaha, i think it’s Day 2.

So, Day 3: (will keep it short and simple, after all, this is not something new, am just writing for records sake :P )

Dont remember much already lah, but photos will refresh my memory…

Went to YONG HE fast food chain for breakfast.

YongHe Fastfood

Soya. The best i have tasted... in Beijing.

PA290354

Not bad at all~!!! the price? about the same as McD for one set: 1 cup of soya + Yoo Tiao + mee or rice.

 

PA290391

"Garden" *the background looks so fake, like i was cropped into the photo.

This is The Garden… yea, if i remember correctly, this huge place was the emperor’s garden… How lavish huh? and of course, in this garden there are also 殿 ”halls”…

PA290365

The entrance to the temples

Come to think of it, their ancient buildings are all more or less the same. The edges of the roofs must have those thingies – little tiny creatures (sorry, didnt take any close up photos of their roofs) those are to guards to shoo demons away. And their doors had… erm, dont know how to describe (no photo either), if you’ve watched chinese dramas you would have noticed that they have to cross the barrier that’s at the bottom of the door, those “bariers” is to prevent ghosts from entering their premises.

PA290379

My sister speaking to the wall

PA290380

I was listening hard... to the wall

 Hahaha, like lunatics, one is speaking to wall, the other is trying to hear the words from the wall… this 殿 is the garden as well, and this wall has the ability to pantul balik to sound.

Near the exit of the garden you will find alot of senior citizens…

PA290393

PA290397

Chinese Chess. is that what it's called?

PA290406

Playground... for the adults

Not joking, their old people senior citizens are very active… so health-conscious! Might be old in age but definitely not physically… fuiyoh~

PA290425

i like the feel of the photos taken in the garden… anyone might just think that i was in some ang mo countries… LOL!  Haih~ how i wish i had a DSLR… that would be awesome!

Just across the road, there is a shopping mall… FINALLY, i get to do some shopping~!!!! hehehe…

PA290430

On the pedesterian bridge

But lah, because it was end of spring (after spring is winter right?) there was hardly any summer clothings on the shelves… :(

New Phase of life

Do I miss working behind the scenes? I must admit that I do, couldn’t believe that I actually would. But why not? After all, technical thingies are my interest… when I was thinking about the job I am currently doing, I realize the features of job are everything that I didn’t want to do. How interesting.

Lately I had “some sort” of contact with some production house’s crews, they were at my office shooting some malay drama/tv series. They borrowed bunting and racks from my office, so I was asked to “liaise” with them. Suddenly those feelings (the ones I experienced during my internship) came back. LOL! That led me to flashback a lot of other things :) the people I was in contact with, oh boy, how I miss them… Haih~

 

I have a weird feelings about this job, not sure why, maybe it’s because I got it a bit too fast and easily, I feel that I might lose it just as fast and easily… :(

 

withdrawn

My job offer has been withdrawn… i am disappointed, but what can i do? It’s only fair for them to withdraw the offer because i have other interest in mind…

Dont get me wrong, i AM keen on this Advertising and Promotion Exec post (for an upcoming niche mall in subang), but my heart is on something else… from the questions i asked her, she sensed that i have doubt…

Nvm, another learning experience in the school of life, i trust God has closed the door for a reason, only He knows what is the best for me, time will tell… :)  

Do continue to keep me in ur prayers yea, thanks! :)

Proctoring exp

Hahahahaha! today was my last day of invigilating/exam assisting in UTAR Sg. Long. i think i am gonna miss those friendly tutors/officers whom i’ve worked (rather) closely with during the past few weeks for the next few days. LOL! bleuk!

***

i rejected an offer from a company in puchong… now considering another offer from subang… God is sooooo very good to me, i am spoilt for choice…

What’s next?

He knows, He loves, He cares
Nothing this truth can dim
He gives the very best to those
Who leaves the choice to Him

[John Bannister Tabb]

 

all or nothing

Either God gets the 1st place in your life or no place at all.
