i made a promise to myself that i will blog about the china trip.. so here it goes!

Day 1

Woke up like 5am? den my aunt sent my family to changi airport.. checking in took quite some time cus a lot of people.. den checked in, was hungry, so went to ya kun for breakfast.. after that flew to china.. enjoyed the on-flight entertainment..

when we reached china, went through the procedures and went out.. found our local tour guide and he told us to wait cus those not flying SQ would arrive later.. so my family went to test water, in my t-shirt and jeans, went outside.. not much kick sia.. tahanable.. but my mum got us to wear our jackets.. but really.. not cold de lo..

so the rest of the tour group arrived with our tour leader.. went to some theatre to watch an acrobatic show.. but the people there gave our booked seats to other tour groups.. since about 6+pm liao.. so went to dinner.. the food was kinda crap.. esp. the zha jiang mian? was terrible.. almost every table the noodle never touch..
