Shaanxi Grand Opera House (Tang Dynasty Palace Music & Dances)

Beautiful place. It's an Opera House where we can have our dinner too. It's like in those days when the Emperor is having his meal, there will be entertainment. Same concept goes for this.

We were served with mostly with dim sum. Tastes really good. Not like those you get in Malaysia.

There were 10 shows being put up that night. Dances, singing, music instruments...all shows has its meaning and story behind it.

Okay, I'm not gonna upload all the photos here. You can see more at my Facebook.

China Trip-Part 2

24/2-Driver-cum-tour guide came to fetch us at 8am from the hotel. Then we dropped by Shuyuan hostel(we engaged tour from hostel) to make some payment and also for them to pick up 2 more ppl(Jeya & Silpa from London). The hostel looks cozy. We started to feel that we should have stayed there rather than in hotel. Too bad we've fully paid the hotel abo can move to the hostel. Save a lot u know!


Okok..back to my tour. We went to the Rare Animals Research Centre. Quite far-off. Two hours drive from Xi'an. I fell asleep in the car. When we reach the centre, wal lau weh...so damn cold! Nearly froze. Mostly there to see the Panda. Since we're in China, sure don't wan to miss out seeing pandas.


After we've finish touring the centre, it's already 11something. So we adjourned for lunch at somewhere nearby. The cold weather really makes us hungry. Luckily, lunch was great. Really tasty n full. By the time we got back to the hostel it's already abt 2.30pm.


Another guide was waiting for us already. Her name's Snow. She took us to the Drum Tower & Bell Tower then to the Great Mosque. All located near Muslim Street.



Both towers looked abt the same, they r located near each other and both have performances at certain timing. Not very interesting. Only thing there is u get to see the view of the city.

China Trip-Part 1

22/2- Last minute packing before leaving for China. Depart from Penang airport to LCCT at 10.30pm. Reach LCCT abt 11.25 and took a cab to Concorde Inn to rest for the night.

23/2-6am depart from Concorde Inn to LCCT again. At least we got some rest. Departure at 8.15am but checked in at 6.30am. Waited for the flight for 1 and half hours before boarding.

The flight took abt 5 hrs before reaching HangZhou. AirAsia X's cool as we can watch movies and got some entertainment. But of course you have to pay. It doesnt matter as long as it kept me company for the whole 5 hrs!

Watching Devil wears Prada

Reached HangZhou airport at abt 1.20pm. So hungry so we settled for lunch at McD before departing for Xi'an at 4pm. Wahlau, the McD's menu all in chinese! Both of us 'cheh kong'! So we jus simply pick. Guess wat? The McD so much better than in M'sia!


After lunch, we went to check in for our flight(Hainan Airlines). I waited so long for my turn. Then when almost reaching my turn, then only i realise many ppl there just don't queue!! Damn! So one person will gif the passport and i hold the lugguage. Have to squeeze with old ladies! Luckily, the person at the counter knew they weren't queueing up. So we got our turn 1st. Muahahah!!

After check in, we proceed to the departure hall waiting for boarding. Then when it's time to board, many ppl jump queue again =.=". I mean c'mon la..got seat number leh!!

The plane wasn't a very big one. Very hard to understand the air hostess' english. And i saw the card for emergency purpose being labelled "JUST IN CASE". I was puzzled when I first saw it. Wakakaka!

We arrived at Xi'an airport at about 6.15pm. Our driver was waiting for us already. I tried to go to the toilet at the airport and guess what? Cannot lock eh!! So forget it la...go back to hotel then only go.

The very first thing when i got into the car, i really tak biasa with the driver's side. It's on the left. Our's is on the right. Then i was also quite surprise by the traffic there. Scary lohhh! Like no traffic rules punya. Ppl can cross at anywhere anytime they want. Cars can even go at red light.

Finally reached hotel at 7.30pm like dat. Soooo tired and hungry. Decided to go outside to find food. So we went to Muslim Street to see if we can find anything. There were so many ppl at the place. Something like wat we call pasar malam here. But lots of makan stall. We tried the dumpling in soup. The soup a lil spicy. Oso ordered cold noodles. I preferred the cold noodles. Dumplings tasted weird. Somemore so big bowl.

We walked around for a while then took a cab back to hotel as we were tired already.

Back to work

I'm back to work today. Nth much piled up thanks to my colleagues. Anyways, din haf much to do from now on. Another colleague taking over my job n training hers to do mine.
