Skydiving!

It's my birthday and I had decided to go something dangerous and pump with adrenaline for my last 2x birthday. Since I refuse to do bungy jumping, the next closest I can think of is skydiving.

unfortunately, its all weather dependant for this sport and today aint the brightest and sunniest day you can find in winter. We just have to go and give it a try.

There is a lot of preparation work to do before hand. Because I am doing a tandem(meaning the guy who knows it all will jump off the plane "carrying" you), the instructor had to show me what are my "tasks", like lifting up my legs when we land and having a banana shape after we jump off the plane. We had to practice that for a few times to get familar. Next is to put on the gear....not the most stylish wear you can get.

The photos from here onwards required an additional fee of hundred ++ (can't remember). Because i'm getting it all capture in DVD, I get an additional person to go into the plane and all she does is to have a great time and take pictures and videos of me. How cool is such job???

Looking out of the plane

getting ready to jump out of the plane

the best part i reckon is the free falling, which only last about 7-10secs, trust me....it feels like my face is being massage by 10000hands!!!!

Thumbs up!!! .............................. Great landing!

How can we forget about Craig. He's taking his lessons on how to jump.

That's Craig landing, see how dark the sky is.

And yes, i'm a happy birthday girl :)

Start Every Day Knowing That You Are Blessed

As the Sun's 1st rays hit the ground you rested
As the little birds greet you with their chirps
May your day starts perfectly with blessing
When you slowly flutter your lazy eyes open

As you get dressed for the day
As your little tummy rumbled unhappily
May you received a delicious breakfast
When you walked into your selected eatery

While you wonder around into the day
While you ponder how to make your day
May it bring a smile to your beautiful face
When you know you are in the thoughts of an Angel down under

As the Sun says goodbye to you and the Night falls
As you wear out those strong feet and witty brains of yours
May you rest well in bed and have lovely sweet dreams
When you know an Angel down under send you a goodnight kiss


~ End Every Day Knowing You Have Lived The Best ~

China Friends

People see people everyday on the streets. How people of these people you see actually become your friend? I have a strong belief, that to meet a stranger is no big deal, to turn that meeting into a friendship is Fate, to turn the friendship into a long lasting friendship is effort.

i'm happy to have luck and fate during my stay in china. I had made very good friends. This is my biggest return for this trip.

人们看见人每天在街道。您看见这人民的人们实际上怎么成为您的朋友吗? 我有强的信仰, 那遇见陌生人是没有什么大不了的事, 可是 见面入友谊是缘分, 把友谊变成持久友谊是努力。

我愉快有运气和缘分，在我的逗留期间在瓷，我交了非常好朋友。这是我 出差 的最大的回归。







留下的是遗憾，带走的却 是美丽的回忆和友谊

The weather today is perfect, its bright and sunny.............after thinking for a while, i decided to drag him to the botanic garden because it was written in the Shanghai Daily papers that the flowers(tao hua) is blooming.
现在它的时刻为可怕 任务--文献。我还有 档案 没做。幸运地为我, 李鹏 是愿意牺牲他的星期六并且来帮助我。天气今天是阳光普照, 它明亮并且晴朗的.............想 了一阵子, 我决定扯拽 李鹏 到 植物园因为 报纸 写在上海植物园 桃 花树开花。

However, when we are there, we never saw any Tao hua, but saw Mei Hua (Plum Blossom) instead. The smell of the flowers is so sweet smelling. And the garden is so huge and beautiful.
但是, 当我们在那里, 我们改为从未看见了任一陶花树, 但有 梅花 树 (开花) 。花的气味是那么甜嗅到。并且庭院是很巨大和美丽的。

Shanghai Yuan Xiao 元宵节

Today is the last day of the Lunar Chinese New year. Its called Yuan Xiao, also known as the Chinese Valentime's Day. The Shanghainese celebrated it with much joy and happiness. Its almost like the eve of Chinese New year in Singapore. I went to Cheng Huan Temple and the atomosphere here is fantastic. There's so much life and energy in this area.
今天是元宵节。上海人庆祝了它充满喜悦和幸福。几乎 象 新加坡 庆祝 农历 新年 除夕 夜 。我去Cheng Huan 寺庙并且气氛这里是意想不到的。有非常生活和朝气在这个区域。

Arrive in Shanghai

Arrive in Shanghai this afternoon, the immigrations custom is unbelievable. Took 45 mins just to clear customs.
今天下午到达在上海, 机场风俗是难以相信的。需要了45 分钟对清楚的风俗。
I can't remember Shanghai that well since the last time i was here, in 2000. I do remember the Dong Fang Ming Zhu. The Bund, Yu Garden and temple, i think that's about it.
我无法记住好从上次我在这里, 2000 年的上海。我 只记住东 方 明 朱，外滩 、于庭院和寺庙,

Shangri-la Shanghai looks good........but i can't say the same for the service. It cost a USD195 to stay in this hotel. Yet i wonder, what makes it 5-star really.
香格里拉上海看起来 很美，可是我无法说服务有多好........ 。在这里 一晚是USD195 。我想知道, 什么真正地 让它 做5 星 酒店。

For the sake of my Chinese friends, i had decided to write all these in Mandrain as well. This trip to China has really inspired me to re-learn my Mandrain. After 12years, i'm actually starting to write Chinese characters again.
为了我的中国朋友, 我决定写所有这些在中文 。这次 出差到 中国真正地启发我重学我的 中文 。在12 年 以后, 我又开始再写汉字。

Chinese New Year

Today, we welcome the Year of the Dog, sending away the Year of the Chicken. alot of politicans (well, i saw from the news from tv) believe that this is a good year for world economics. Lets hope so, increase pay increase pay INCREASE PAY!

Here are some shots of chinatown during the festive season, i took them a few weeks ago. See how busy Chinatown is.













This is a delicacy for the Cantonese folks. its actually preserve duck and chicken(i think)
there's preserve sasuages as well.


This is my favourite flower for CYN. its called "Ying Liu", i like to call it the cotton bud plant, cos when it blooms, it looks like little cotton bud on the stem.



My mum wanted to buy fake flowers for CYN deco but i insist we must have the cotton bud plant. So here some of my house's deco.






Pinapples means "Ong Lai", which means "Wealth coming"
