A Date With China/ Hangzhou (我与中国、杭州有约)

Continue from the previous post, I'm heading towards China~

And the first place that I'm gonna visit would be the city of Hangzhou (杭州) in Chinese~

Hmm, received a new on the plane stating that the flight to China wou;ld took 5 hours~

So, we were expected to reach there by 1pm..

Ehh, so what we do in the plane?

Some of us read...

Some of us sleep..

Some of us chit-chat with others..

And some of us..

Camwhore!! =p

And here's what we got!

* This is the first time that I had a view from such height*

* I had no idea where was I when capturing these photos*

5 hours pass by, and our plane landed on the land of China!

Wee, so excited that time~

Getting out from the airport, we gather with our tour organiser and meet our tour guide of course~~And after putting our's luggage into the travel bus, we began our adventure in China!!!

* Our 8 days tour guide! *

Hmm, so what's our first place of attraction in Hangzhou, China?

Well, we actually went to the ever famous West Lake (西湖) there~

Hmm, what so special about the lake?

For your information, HangZhou is actually one of the cities in JiangNan(江南)~

1. JiangNan (江南）had already exists for thousand years~
2. There's a sentence in Chinese which sounds like

• "皇帝下江南” = The emperor paid a visit to JiangNan
• “皇帝游西湖" = The emperor take a tour/walk along the Western Lake
• This place was also the birthplace of legendary stories such as 白蛇传、梁山泊与祝英台 and also the legendary 岳飞！
  

And to the old sayings, the main reasons that the emperor decided to take a tour along the Western Lake was mainly because of the beautiful scenery here~And here's are some pictures regarding the West Lake~

* Captured along the way before boarding a boat to tour around West Lake*

* The boat we took! Cool! =)*

* 1st Family Photo in China*

* Now I realise why those emperors like to rest at here! *

* The temple was being known as 城隍阁, a place we will visit after this*

* All the ancient things around here were still under good condition!*

* West Lake is not small at all, this was taken at the garden there*

* In love with this place, so calm & peaceful! *

* My lil bro's idea...Ehh, i know we still need to improve on this aspect* =="

* Quote of The Day! It means that if we had the awareness of lushery of greeness in heart, then our feet will keep those lush of greenery~This actually remind people not to step onto the grass*

Ehh, we took about 2 hours and more walking around the West Lake~

So, next stop would be the temple named as "城隍阁" that i mentioned above~

Ehh, the temples consists of 6 storeys~

And we actually went up to the 6 storeys through lift to:-

* Have a bowl of 莲藕丝 -- Some sorts of lotus desserts that works well to help cooling down our body~*

* Camwhore-ing at the top of the temple, behind was the overview of the city of Hangzhou*

Meanwhile, down the temple, we CAMWHORE again! =p

* Lil bro immidating the pose of the mascot~ It was the mascot of the 2010 Shanghai Expo for your info * =P

* Me posing*

Hmm, that place end our 1st day~

After visiting the place, we went to take our dinner before the tour guide sent us back to our hotel~~And even though there is no access to Facebook in China, but still, MSN functions properly! So, chat with my dar in Malaysia before sleeping!

And that sums up my 1st day in China!

Stay tuned for the next post:-

A Date With Hangzhou / Suzhou (我与杭州、苏州有约)

A Night At LCCT~~

你好！ =）

Haha, can U guess where am I heading to by the word above?

中国！

Yeap, it is China!

The word above, "ni hao" actually carry the meaning of "How are you" in Chinese~\

So, finally get what I had dreamt for for so many years~

A trip abroad+ A chance to board the plane!

2nd of June was the date~

The date where me and my family take the bus to LCCT in KL~

For your info, LCCT was another airport in Malaysia that deal with international flights other than KLIA~But, all the planes here were of the company of "AirAsia"~

And, here's how it looks like in the airport!

*Gosh, it was only 5am when I took this*

* With dad & mom*

Gosh, I had really endured an unforgottable moment there~

We reach there about 11.00 pm, and our flight is on 8.10am the next morning!

OMG, that means we had to stay overnight there~

Seriously, there was not a good moment at all, all of us were so tired yet, we didnt sleep much~

The couch there was not that comfortable at all~

And we didnt bring our sleeping bag! (To any one of U, remember to bring a sleeping bag if U had to stay overnight at the airport) =="

After staying awake for most of the times, soon it was 6am in the morning already~

Therefore, we began to search for the tour organizer there and gather together as a group~

We are the early birds that time as not many show up~

Hence, we settle our luggage first~

And for your information, for all of those who plan to visit Malaysia or for those who plan to board a cheaper AirAsia, these were the rules:-

1. *The maximum weight that was allowed for each luggage (departure flight) weighs at 15kg.
2. The maximum weight that was allowed for each hands-on luggage weighs (departure & return）at 7kg.
3. The maximum weight that was allowed for each luggage (return flight) weighs at 20kg. *

We took quite some time there settling our luggage as there are quite many people heading to HangZhou that time·

And when it's done, it was about 6.30 am.

So, we waited for another 30 minutes before entering the immigration part~

And we spent another 30 minutes there~

And soon, we were told that we can board the plane already~

And so, I bid farewell to my homeland & country, Malaysia for the second time (I been to Singapore before) !!

*Posing before boarding*

* Once more, "soaked" with some Malaysian sunlight before leaving! XD *

* The plane to HangZhou= My Plane! =) *

So, that's my experience in the airport~

Do stay tuned with me for the next post~

* A DATE WITH CHINA/HANGZHOU* 我与中国、杭州有约

& For all the readers, dont forgot to help me click the advertisements besides ya~

Your help is kindly appreciated! =)

Meet Her Friends & Fast 5!!

Hey guys, I'm BACK!!

After 12 days off, I'm really sorry to keep U all waiting~

Thanks for all those who visit my blogs, and thanks for those who help me to click the advertisements~

Hopefully U all will keep on following my blog here! =)

Well, continue from what I had left 12 days ago~

Apart from meeting her family, I had actually went to meet her sistas a.k.a friends too~

Hmm, I still remember that day fall on the 1st of May which was the Labour's Day of Malaysia~

So, generally, all people choose to stay at home or went to the shopping malls, cinemas or KTV's to have some splendid moments with their loved ones~

And indeed, it turned out to be so~

At first, we planned to went to a shopping mall to have a game of bowling~

But, it was just too crowded there~ Therefore, we had to think of another plan else~ =="

So, we decided to went to another famous shopping complex around Johor Bahru---------------------> "City Square"

Hmm, that's not my first visit to this place~

I still remember clearly that I been there before with my dear dar and her friends in January~

So, not much to describe about this shopping complexes~

Just a big one, with 5,6 or 7 floors not many restaurants apart from branded shops here~

* An overview of City Squares*

So, when we arrive there~

Of course we went to search for lunch~

*And, we went to eat some pasta and spaghetti~*

*And of course, the mango blended ice as dessert~! (Highly recommended here)*

And, of course, having some camwhore that time~ =p

*And, of course, having some camwhore that time (Dar with her sistas)~*

There's actually 3 of them but slightly unfortunate that one of them was having test that time~

* Dar & Me~ (Match?)*=p

Hmm, after the lunch, we went for some shopping there~

Frankly speaking, the main difference between here and Pavillion would be that~

Pavillion was mainly designed for those rich people~

Whilst here was for all people~

The things here werent that expensive and most importantly, the interior design of it makes it looks like a high ranked shopping malls~

* Captured with dar's Canon IXUS 115, the design was just awesome! *

Hmm, after that, we went for a movie~

The movie was one that I like and one which I had followed previously~

It was " Fast and Furious 5"!!! (I rate 4 stars over 5 for this one) =)

What shall I said about this movie?

For me, it was definitely one of the best from the Fast & Furious movie!

What makes it so unique and worth to watch was definitely "Dwayne The Rock Johnson" taking part in the movie!

* Vin Diesel & Paul Walker was the criminal, The Rock was the cop~The chemistry between them ROCKS!! *

* Let's applaud the KING OF HUMOUR in the movie! =)*

Cant wait for Transformer 3: Dark of The Moon (He did take part too for your info)

* One of the epic scene in the movie-- Vin Diesel saying " This Is Brazil" to The Rock as The Rock try to capture him*

Hmm, the movie was just brilliant!

Here's the trailer! =)

Hmm, not much to do after the movie~

Just went for a dinner at a local Japanese restaurant~

Ehh, the design is okay, but still prefer Sushi Kings in terms of the food~ =p

* Dar's food, no offense, but I still prefer Sushi King's one =p *

So, that wreck up my date with her sista's~

Firstly, thanks for driving us home to her sista's~

Next, thanks for my dear dar's family for all the treat include accomodation, food and others during my stay at her home! U all are such a good company to be hanging around with =)

Time to off, but will hoping for another visit to her home sooner, and one more,

" I LOVE SKUDAI! " =)
