series 7 ......dare you use the toilet without door ?

Day 7 , still a raining day
A horrible day !
We went to a horrible town today!



ermm.....I shouldn't said it is horrible
We just felt like we got into trap.
we went to "he zhou" "贺州"
we been cheat to buy a expensive bus ticket
which mention " air condition bus"
yup....it has air condition but never switch on!
Why we chose to visit this state
that was my mom 's idea

This was the 2nd times I met the toilet without door !
It happened loads in China .
But this state eh......I don;t have good impression .
I saw there are some restaurant with sold the dog meat !

Today , the only day that I didn't shower !
I swear this is the only day!
I got a very very very bad motel ,
loads of mosquito !
which we even don't think like wanna stay for one more minute .





8 th day
Sunny day ~ Sunday !



Early in the morning , we woke up at 700am ....we can't stand the motel anymore . we quickly rush to the other hotel that we had book yesterday night to shower . And we went for breakfast , Guilin meehon again since I were still in sick .
My dad started complaining that he didn't want to eat this anymore ...hahahah

Do you still remember the HK soap opera which the content was talking about "tea " 《茶是故乡浓》 and also "wine" 《 酒是故乡纯 〉 。。。。。it 's all trap. Nothing worth to visit this state .
This state is not really a travel industry site , it is a industrial estate . So , it is a bit boring .




We went to a park which name " Grandaunt mountain "...hahaha....funny name !



That All for my 7th and 8th days ! what Was good is , we got a 2 and half star hotel with 155 yuan , which having a nice and clean bathroom and the bad room also not bad . Finally I could took a shower .

it is just me ~ 150 cm girl

Went to book fair at KLCC convention center today~



3 books as my harvest.
And I found a book which is " considerately " to me





hahaha ~The book name as "150 cm life "........ The book 's name attracted me because it is just describing me !
I am just 150 cm and it doesn't grow anymore since I were standard 6 .
That mean , I was 150 cm height when I was standard 6 ..........till now !


The book bring out all the funny things that have happened at a 150cm girl 's life . It do happened to me too . I fell like we are in the same kingdom . We have the same difficulty and all the funny matters .

We have the same view in looking all the matters in our world . when we take a train , the advertising at the window always blocking us since of our height , we have to raise our head up to look at some labels . we do face the same problem to carry the long and rectangle shopping bag because it will hit our legs and the attrition of the bag to the floor would broke the plastic bag . hahahahahaha

we face the problems when taking photo , sitting on the high chair ( even the lecture hall's chair which are fit and not adjustable .) And looking into the mirror !.....................


Those are what we have to cope in our daily life !





The other book is name "The grand overland voyage "



which is wrote by 2 Malaysian who went to backpack trips for 2years .
I read the series 1 which was borrowed with my house mates ,
so I decided to buy the series 2 .

If I went to camping , I could eat nothing ! They having BBQ , grill Chicken , grill sweet potatoes ....... fried tin meat as breakfast and fried egg .

Depth of my heart ~

Undeniable , my mother tongue - Chinese . Is still plays an important part .
I am growing up with the fully Chinese education , all the friends, families , brothers & sisters in Christ , Church ......all using Chinese .

My qualification in Chinese education was just until form 3 . I do feel regret that I didn't persist until Form 5. And I got a B in my PMR result .

Although English is gradually devour my life , I Still love my mother tongue .



I always enjoy reading Chinese Book and newspaper .
I feel that I am in the cloud nine when I found some interesting articles .
I would praise how amazing the Chinese Language is .
I admire the literary talent that those writers have .


I proud on those people who stick up for the Chinese language .
The satisfaction that I could get couldn't be replace by anythings.
I missed my childhood times , when I sat in front of my Chinese teachers ,
listen to their teaching , those stories that they had told me .
The ancient stories about fealty , about festivals , about the history
about philosophy and about etiquette .


I never can forget the spiritual
when we remind back what we had learn
and look at the society nowadays
I would say I am the weaker.



Gambate ~ for all the Chinese language vindicator !
I read the Sinchew's supplement today which talking about the Chinese education in Malaysia . I hope that I never forget my foundation stone .

eerrr....until which series eh ?........oh .....series 6 , isn't it ?

I got a lazy day ~ when I felt like wanna write my blog at night , the net system was a bit down .


Good morning !



The first picture that you can see was a fisherman who used the “Ossifrage” as a tools to catch the fishes .The fisherman use a rope to tied its neck to block the Ossifrage to devour the fish.











I were still in the way went to "yangshuo" , that mean I still at the boat and on the river .


We arrived "yangshuo " jetty at around 3 o'clock , the bus was waiting for us on the other part. Along the shore and the path to parking lot , there are loads of stall which sold the souvenirs.
We had joined the one day trips , so the bus was waiting and continued our tour in "yangshuo" town .










We visited one of the grotto , my parent seems like not really enjoy because they been to loads of grotto before and they said this grotto was loads of false which is hand made .



a big "Ficus microcarpa"
which I can only took the picture of its branch .


After all over the tours that lead by the tour guide .
They left us somewhere and we ourself went to "yangshuo xi jie "" 阳朔西街“
and got our hotel .










"wu ming tang " was the Motel that we stayed. The motel name as "without a names"
I fancy on the felt and the style of this motel , it is suitable for the backpacker .
We got a room with 3 beds + air-conditional with 90 yuan ( with air-conditional added 10 yuan per day ) . See ! I got my own separate little space with my only bed with me . The room 's design just like 2separated living rooms that my parent room was separate with mine . hehehehe


Free internet services , good chatting space , nice place to met friends ................
You would love it ! I swear !


We met again the teammates which went to "terraces scenic" together with us . So we having dinner together and having a shop accompany .





Loads of pub and bar
felt excited !
































whatever Cute Cute souvenirs you could get from here .






































Unluckily that I got no chances to went to Bar or Pub !
My parent not allowed loh SmileyCentral.com










7th day
Saturday
Raining day








A sweet dream day , I was still in sick ! The only day my parent and I slept until 900am .
( normal we have to wake up at 6~7 am ) . Walk wherever we want and really in the relax mood . We have had our breakfast just at the corner out of our motel , then bought a ticket to visit a place called "Xanadu ". In my opinion , the entered fees for all the visited places in China are expensive . It is true ! I do feel it . ( 50 yuan per person ) . You might not agree on me , you would say " 50 yuan ......just around Rm 20 only mah" ....yup I know .
But when you know how much that the local people earning , then you will agree with me .
Mostly a sales girl / man , barber , restaurant worker , baker ....are 700 yuan . ( I do know local people could get discount on the enterer ticket .) But the food expenses would never be cheap also .( I didn't mean those big restaurant because we did had our meal in the small/ local shop)









Peacock ~






























Raining day causes loads of inconvenient , so we decided to went back to motel and got a nap .
The whole day was almost in the relaxing mood , just a rest .............to get ready on the next station tomorrow.

CT trip ...............series 5

Not anymore .....but I still have to .........

continue my 4th day of the trip 's story .





I couldn't believe , I had just missed talking with English language ( as we've known Malaysian like Rojak Language ) when I met the foreign couple ( swiss & Spanish ).

Incontestable fact is , all the people like to communicate to foreign ( I am also foreign when I were in China oh ~) . In advance , no even one person know where were we came from because my parent and I always communicate with Cantonese , so they might just think that we were from HK or Guangzhou .
And almost no one seems like wanna joined us or chat with us , some even show the arrogant face on us when they thought we were China people also .






Until the trip was almost at the end , When they saw me talking English fluently( at least better than some of them ) with the western Couple . Then , they just started discover our "existence" !.........what a satire.



Anyway , my mood didn't impact by this . Since , our Lord's creation cover all . I have been indulge in the beautiful view .





I just realize that life sometime could be as simple as the minority who living there.






5th Day ,
Thursday
Raining day
The day I have started to got sick ~



Seem like A horn ?




Today , we were going to "Yangshuo"" 阳朔’ , one of the busy town in Guilin . A place that having loads of western people and bars . A nice place that you would to sit down and enjoy a drink , A place which have accommodated 3 ~ 4 times foreigns more than the local people .








You could take an hour bus from Guilin town to "Yangshuo" , or you could choose to take the boat like what I had did . It spends 4 hours and the costs is 180~ 210 yuan .( depend on how you doing the bargaining ), I met again the foreign couple ( Enzo @ Jackie) at the jetty and we had some little chat .

Woah ~ Can't believe , they could got the cheaper price than us .
They bought a package which include the one day trip to longji ( terraces scenics ) , boat expense to Yangshuo , Bus ticket to Vietnam .......
with 700 yuan .
Which they told me the original price should be 1200 yuan .
And they are going to visit Laos and accomplish their trip at Thailand.

Language doesn't become a obstruction for them .
They gave up the boat which has special service to the foreign ( having English translation + better lunch ) with "Special Price" ( 450 yuan ).





You Would never need to bother how to kill your time,
4 hours would be nothing
when you see the view behind me .
And the wind blow makes you feel fresh .
that why I GOT A COLD !


I felt exciting when I reached the "Yangshuo", it is just like what I had thinking about .

How was my "yangshuo " trip ?

I am going to tell you later !




Thanks for the comforts ~

Allow me to interrupt ..........................my CT

let continue the 4th day trip story .............................

Once upon a time ...................SmileyCentral.com


no lah

come back !

It is not too long ago~




As I had said looking forward to visit this village and terraces .


There is a group of minority living in this village , it took 2 hours driving time to reach the mountainside in order to change to another mini bus and other 45 min to went further . The income of the minority are doing performance and sell the handcraft , they just remained 75 families who still living there and keep the traditional ( long hair) .











Every races have it own specialties and cultural , do you know what would the girls show her love to guys?..........I bet you would never know !



They pinch your buttock ! To show their love ...hahah
so if you like her
you can do so to her .......


Their performances ( singing & dancing )




And we could a traditional "oil tea" .
There is rule to follow also when you drink this tea ,
if you are normal guest you need only one chopstick .
If you use a pair of chopstick
that mean you fall in love to one of the daughters in their family .



We continuing our next station after visited the village with taken the mini bus .
all along the way , the views are brilliant .
Back to the natural and throw over all my minds in the city .



There was a half hour walking distance to reached the restaurant in the other phase of mountainside. I enjoy the walking and the beautiful views , so half hour was just nothing .





The weather was cold and the air was sooooooo fresh !





The corns represent extraordinary abundant and full .


The other 45mins walked after the lunch at the mountainside

to reached the peak .






Those are no duck .......goose !
