WARNING: This is a super duper long post with pictures of my Beijing Trip.
Thanks to the sponsors for the trip. (22Aug2008-24Aug2008)

21-Aug-2008
Check in at airport at about 10.30pm for 1.10am flight. So after check in we proceed in straight away. Its saddening that no one send us there. Of course its so late already. So we went in walk around till the time to board flight.

I only took about 1 hour nap in the airplane because i couldnt sleep in airplane. And imagine the people we met in the flight. Behind people complain that we make our chair back and the infront people keep move their chair back. TERRIBLE. Arrive Beijing at about 7.30am. Wow, their T3 is grand too. Can complete with Singapore. But the only thing is the distance too long. From going down flight to pick up luggae we had to take a 7mins train.


My dad waiting for our luggage bag.


After that went to hotel. Our hotel is 40minutes away from Airport. (Dont wah first, something more shocking behind) Went hotel for breakfast then short break. I take a nap of about 15minutes. SO SHIOK. And i dream of your phone number when i sleep. Sounds funny? LOL.. After which we go to our first place. TianAnMen Square. On our way there,


The Guards stand very straight hor? Hahaha..

After TianAnMen Square, we went to Xiu Shui Street shopping. Our one and shopping place for the whole trip. And we spend only an hour there. So sorry in advance people, i didnt brought much things back. So understood? Hahhahaa..

Last Day in Beijing. Its tired but sad that its going to end. Went to Great Wall in Morning. Lunch then proceed to Airport. Terrible slow the check-in staff. 1hr to check in a group of 20 plus people. And all our seats being spilted up. Me and my dad seperated. Its lucky in the end we swop internally in the flight. And I must say our national carrier is the best. With its in flight entertainment, i watched 3 shows. Ah Long Ltd, One Daddy and CJ7. All is old show that i havent watch. Arrived Singapore at 10pm. And Home Sweet Home. Sleeping soon..
