And since I decided I'm not going to spam any more photos of food (or perhaps because I wouldn't be able to decide which to post about) so here's something interesting I saw in Hong Kong:



Pretty interesting carplate which would never be allowed in Singapore. Speaking of paws, another random picture:



SUPER cute dog dressed in a santa suit on christmas day (: Its owner was nice and allowed me to carry it :D

Anyhow, I'm down with a sore throat and have lost my voice. Which's really irritating at first, but after a while you get used to it. Kindof guess you hear alot more than you usually do. But yes, 1 more day to 2008 which is never too good because that spells 3 more days to school. Back to reality and it bites.

Haven't updated for long, but after this... (Burger)


This... (Burger)


And this... (Another Burger)


Which pretty much landed us with our jaws aching from eating the humongous burgers,



Along with this... (Pastry)


This... (Crepes)


And this... (And More Pastries)



I guess I'd need to be working out a hell lot after the school term reopens after the trip to USA and now going off the Hong Kong. Note that this is a complete mini-scaled version so as to maintain my position in the world of self-denial, though I seriously have no regrets about the extra kilos gained. Totally worth it.


The golden gate bridge in San Fran


The Grand Canyon

But anyway the trip to USA (Las Vegas, San Fran and Los Angeles to be exact) was pretty fun and the scenery was really beautiful especially the night scenes at Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon so.



And so it is, off the Hong Kong tomorrow. (:

Because this is going to be a somewhat condensed version after spamming alot of photos on photobucket, some pictures from the Beijing trip! 14th-23rd November, at Tsinghua High School (okay so being the top few schools in Beijing is seriously no joke). CULTURE SHOCK: They run 1.6km every school day (that's not including PE where they run about another 6-8 rounds round the track) in preparation for their PE test. All of them are psycho fit, seriously. But yes.



Streets of Beijing, funkaye malls and all!



Joce Stella and I <3 Roomies and pretty much the only 3 girls that went to Tsinghua (:



On the immersion trip, so a random picture of Jiangshan (my buddy) and I in the classroom. w00t.



The high school where we stayed (in the amazingly clean hotel like rooms). We didn't have to go to the hostels but instead stayed in the foreign exchange place (yes, they even have a building for that) which was kindof like a hotel with the aircons, nice beds, carpetted floors and people making our rooms xP



FACEBOOK. :D



The crazy amount of fruits we brought back from the homestay because our buddies' parents insist that fruits are the way to go in the dry weather. So we pretty much ended up with enough fruits to start a stall or something. Had massive giveaways because we attempted stuffing ourselves and it didn't really work. Heh.



AND THE AMAZING ICE CREAM. Moving on to the other amazing food at Beijing...



(If I'm not wrong) Woodlice and Beetles



Seahorses and Scorpions! Stella and I had these and truthfully the scorpions tasted really good (: Crunchy and soft in the middle. The seahorse was (I quote Stella) "rather dry". So now you know. :D



And of course the other pretty places we visited. This's like part of Beijing University. Its so huge and the atmosphere there's pretty much amazing. Quote Joce/ Stella the 1.6km daily runs are preparing for their future in the University without bikes. Campus is crazy huge but yeah pretty much worth it for the scenery if you'd ask me.



Great Wall Of China (: Climbing it was killer with the wind and all, but again, the experience! Felt pretty good up there. Ah well.



So yes because I should not spam any more photos, Beijing Trip '07 was pretty memorable, the price slashing at shopping malls, playing cards till 10 and all, thank you Stella Joce Matthew Hong En (who wonderfully taught me the 4x4x4 cube) Sean David Joel for making the trip such an enjoyable one. And so its on with enjoying the holidays (:
