Yay! excited excited!!!!
p/s: i am blogging this from my office… shh… dont tell anyone yea… or i might be fired…
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…

Alot of trees, to keep the temperature low i think...
This place is so very cold, smart phoebe wore short skirt some more…

so adorable! aawww...
Very Super Chubby little bird, and it’s blue in colour… not the whole bird lar…

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(?)…

at one of the look out points
erm, i dont think that’s the sea, but rather a lake…

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

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

Taste better than Malaysia wan leh!
Then across the street, its a VERY VERY famous shopping complex! muahahaha!

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

DUCKIE!!!

Very famous for its Peking Duck
Now i shall teach you how to eat Peking duck…

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

The chef will slice the duck in front of you

place a "popiah skin"

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

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

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:

some kinda of abalone with asparagus

Fried rice. Nice but oily

Salad, not sure if i like it

my cup of tea

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.
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
)
Dont remember much already lah, but photos will refresh my memory…
Went to YONG HE fast food chain for breakfast.

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


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

"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”…

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.

My sister speaking to the wall

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…


Chinese Chess. is that what it's called?

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~

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…

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…
alrite for for dinner, it was in some hakka restaurant at some really weird place, it like an alley a VERY dark one… but the restaurant has some really nice n comfy settings…

Hakka Restaurant



Salted Chicken (TOO salty lar)
Last but not least

beer! 啤酒!
Erm, nolah, chicken was not the only dish, was too hungry to snap anymore photos… hahaha…
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
i have been absent from the blogosphere for almost a month dy… i am sure many of you wud be wondering what have i been up to… well, i have been sick, serious throat inflammation, yesh for a month, in fact, still sick
apart from that, i have been working temporary during the month of sept…
below are some clues:

1st clue

2nd clue
still cant figure it out???

3rd clue

Should be very obvious by now...
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
