I am back!!

Went with all the wishes from friends and family. Arrived smoothly and hovered with wishes as well. After a good night rest, i finally regained some energy.

The trip was great and i was so good and so enjoy it until my camera's memory card burst. With all those blesses, i took almost 1700 pieces of picture throughout this 10 days. Not even my 4GB memory card together with my 4GB pendrive can accommodate them.

Drinks in Beijing

In Beijing, i have limited my drinks to only few types of it. First, the milk here are good, no matter which brand were it, they all tasted good. All of the milk produced from Mongolia, with the city name of 呼和浩特. The Nestle coffee here in bottle is good too. They tasted totally different from what we have in our place. The smoovlatte is one of my favorite because it really smooth and not too sweet. The Mongolia style of grilled lamb is famous here and can easily get from the food court at shopping mall. The best drink with it has to be 燕京啤酒. This beer tasted light and not too sweet as well. Drinking the beer with the hand holding large size Mongolia grilled lamb was one of my favorite moment. 

The picture shows the drinks that i have in Beijing. Well, mineral water is of course still the main drink in this winter time. I have to drink a lot of water even though the weather is really cold outside. I worry that i will be "dried" up by this dry, cold and windy weather. Although drinking a lot of water does bring some consequences, for example, going to the WC very often and always have to carry a bottle of water in my rucksack. 

Patrick-2

After the windy walking along the street of "Wang Fu Jing 王府井", i was back to my place and finally had a chance to have a better view of my exotic snack. I peeled the outer skin and took a picture on part of the inner filling of it. The picture may not looks so real because the lighting of my place is limited and all is orange colour light.

P/S: Weather today looks fine and i will go to the Zoo. Hopefully the Pandas are not hiding from the cold.

Pictures of Patrick

This picture was actually just for fun, because you can never eat patrick like this.

Poor Little Deep-fried Orange-colour Patrick

Strange Food-Small story in Wang Fu Jing

Me together with "Patrick the starfish"
in front the stalls along the street of Wang Fu jing王府井

Went to "Wang Fu Jing" tonight. Among all those local famous food stalls at the road side, i saw people selling this- the Starfish, or i would like to call it as "Patrick" as in Spongebob. They are actually eating it. So, i bought it and took this picture. Later i did taste it back at my place. The outer skin is not edible, i can only taste the infill. Tasted nothing special.... but the texture and the touch of it feel so good.

Tian An Men

Me, in front of the Tian An Men.

Interesting

Finally, i have chance to access to internet today at my room and not at the coffee house that i need to pay some money for drinks in order to use their internet. So, i am so happy and would like to see how are all my friends doing. I tried to access to facebook earlier that day but i couldn't. Now, i tried again and found out that this website is banned and some others that we frequently used, such as blogger. So, now i can only update my blog through email.

 

Well, at least i will be really no "facebook" for all these days that i will be spending in Beijing. I will be Facebook-free as long as i still access to their network.

My dinner

This is the pic taken at a coffee house at the ground floor of the apartment that i am living in beijing. Here is the nearest place that I can get wireless connection. The food that I ordered was huge in size and after eating it still have this much left. The price is high as well, a noodles costs me RMB 28, which is 14 riggit.

Beijing welcome me !

Reached Beijing with welcomes of 0 celcuis freezing breeze. Rushed for
cab and rushed with time so that can reached the place we want to be
before dark. Since it is winter now, night comes early around 5pm
everyday.

It was snowing the morning that I reached, so what my first impression
of this place was a place with nice trees that covered with thick
snow.

to be continue cos it is time to have my lunch now before my pizza gets cold.

Long waited

I will be out of country for 10 days starting from 12 Nov. I have to
make use of my very limited holidays that left before I start to
plunge my head into another study which will probably has no holiday.
Where am I going though? Here is the hint, the below was what my brother
likes to sing in front of my face right after I planned this.
"北京欢迎你, 欢迎你来买东西."
-Lyrics was modified from the Beijing Olympics Song

有趣事件

这天夜里， 弟弟在楼下看见一位母亲， 带着那蹒跚起步的小孩在低楼走走。 走着走着，那小孩一时脚步不稳的，跌坐在地上。牵着他一旁的小手的是他的母亲，正是那位母亲对那小孩说的话令我感到很有趣。那母亲没说心疼儿子， 反而说：“起来 ” 那小孩没有立刻的就站起来，那母亲就说：“啊！阿呢呢抓啊，阿呢呢抓啊”， 然后一手 指向一群在不远处闲聊的一群印裔同胞。那一杀那， 在那小孩弱小的心灵里，仿佛所有的印裔同胞都是会来把他给抓走。 一直到那母子和我们一同走进电梯时，那小孩还在嘴中念念有词的说：“阿呢呢，阿呢呢。”
天啊！ 原来有许多的父母在孩子那么小的时候就已经撒谎欺骗他们，还有意无意的给他们灌输种族意识，那些小孩若日后长大成人后带有种族歧视的态度可真是不稀奇。还有的是，可怜的印裔同胞！

高血压

今天到诊所去， 其实是陪妈去量血压的， 因为她之前有点血压偏高。
在去之前，其实已经在家里量了才的。
妈量完之后，一切正常，反倒是我的血压大从几天起就一直高飙不下。
那医生，我们一家都很相熟了，量了我的血压之后，有点担心，还以为量的不准。 结果给我再量一次， 还是偏高了。 没辙，只好换手再量一次， 还是不行。
他说，卧着量更为准确，结果我可是卧着量的， 却依然没多大的分别。
聊着聊着高血压的原因，他突然看见了他搁在一旁高处的电子量血压器，他马上把它拿了下来。 当我在把衣袖撩起来，准备让他在为我量一次时，他看了我说：“我先量我自己， 然后在帮你量。”
他量了之后，没想到也有点偏高，但居于他的年龄，那也没什么，但他也说这可比他平时还高了。
最后，轮到我了， 却结果还是没多大的差异。
他问我之前可有什么不适，我说都没什么异样的。接着他说我并不常到他那儿期刊病，说我还挺少生病的。这话可有点怪怪的。其实，我还蛮常去的， 之前不就有个异常的头晕事件吗？
他建议我抽血检验，看看问题在什么地方。也许只是我这几天都迟睡兼睡得不好， 加上生活上也有点压力的缘故。还没抽血检验的我，看来得大大改变最近的生活习惯， 我可不想一早就挂上了高血压。

Movie: Moon

Welcoming the month of November, i watched a very interesting movie called Moon. It is a sci-fi movie. The main character in the story is Sam Bell, the astronaut who is working with Lunar Industry, a company which harvest Helium 3 from moon to use as an alternate energy source. Sam Bell is the only people in the station at moon which has no direct communication, he can only speak to an inteligence computer which has the mian function of assisting him. The contract is for 3 years. For all along his contract, he live on wanting to go back earth after this to meet with his wife and his daughter. At the last 2 weeks of his contract, He starts to hallucinate and got into an accident and wakes up in the infirmary. Then, a rescue team is sent from earth.

He then discovered the dark secret of this whole contract thingy. He is actually a clone of Sam Bell, and there are endless clone of Sam Bell stored at a secret room at the station. Whenever a clone fail due to some unknown reason, a new clone will be awaked. The memory will be uploaded to the new clone to tell "him" who he is. Then, the clone will continue the work at the station. This Sam Bell finally has chance to get real time communication, and he called back his house. He then only discovered that the daughter that was born prior to his departure for the contract, is now a teenager and his beloved wife has past away. The most shocking part is that there is actually sort of real Sam Bell living at earth.

A very triller movie which lead you to discover more with each step. So, after watching it, i have to rank it as recommended. Hope you all can watch it when you have the chance.
