Guangzhou PhotoLog on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

So, Lian Hua Mountain. Which I think translated to “Lotus Mountain”.

There was this famous local delicacy called the “Ox Milk Pudding” here. The texture is like a mix between Tofufah and steamed egg :3 My relatives gave us a bunch of those to bring home ^^v

Random pictures from LianHua Mountain.

#01. The Golden Guan Yin statue towers over us. The entire outdoor area is filled with smokes from the incense. There was a huge bell that you can ring yourself too. It’s kinda soothing to hear. ( And also, the vegetarian food here is sooooooo goooood )

#02. Temple guardian. I’m not sure what it’s called in English but my little brother’s name is based of this mystical creature. And he’s born in the year of the Dragon XD Double the awesomeness

#03. I can’t resist feeling so stupidly happy. The first time I saw the gate of this miniature fort I just went “AN ENEMY OFFICER HAD FALLEN TO MY SPEAR!” Damn you, Dynasty Warriors.

OHAY I’m still alive on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Wow. Thank you Jeff for reminding me that I’d been letting this place to collect dusts. Those who don’t know me IRL might had thought I’d disappeared in Guangzhou XDD ( Guangzhou was EXCELLENT, and I really fell in love with the food there I almost wished I didn’t have to come back )


Photo taken when I was walking towards my Grand Uncle’s house

Seriously, the food. It’s AMAZING aaaaaaaa ( also, my relatives there really indulged us ;A; And I get to eat roast goose nearly everyday *lovessssss* Best thing since sliced bread? Possibly best thing even before bread was invented ♥ )

Also, don’t ask me about the various unidentifiable animal parts that I’d eaten. Anyway, it felt like a thousand and one things had happened since I got back from the trip and I’d been too lazy to write. Namely :

Catching up with work in the office *headdesk* Is not really good especially since I’d been away on a fun week-long holiday.

Fion and Darren’s wedding. They’re my hometown schoolmates and I was part of the sister entourage. Much lulz ensued when the brother entourage were pretty much pwned upside down by the girls. Also, meeting up with friends I had not seen in YEARS was so strange and yet so heart warming ;A; Plus it’s hilarious to see your ex-classmates whom you’d known for so many years drunk XD

Dad’s birthday! Happy 50th birthday this year, Dad! ( We went out for dinner and had a small celebration. His god-son brought cake ) Sorry I spent like most of the time at home playing Gundam 00 : Gundam Meisters with lil’ brother and not doing much else ^^;;

Mel and Jijoe’s wedding! This is the first Malay wedding I’d ever attended. The atmosphere was wildly different from the rowdy Chinese weddings I’d attended so far XD Congrats to both of you!

Is still playing Hakuouki like the fangirl I am. Only now I can distract myself combo chaining in Gundam 00 when I feel particularly destructive ( the combo chaining was funnn albeit kinda stressful ). Toudou Heisuke full CGs GET! <3 Two.. more... characters to go..

I’d got a bunch of stuff over last weekend. My VAMPS’ Birthday tour pamphlet from Azuzora ( yaaaay thanks! ), chocolates from whiterabbit who got it from Singapore and ELIZABETH’S PLUSHIE from Jeff XDDD

Watched a bunch of movies in the cinema over the few weeks. Hana Yori Dango Final ( it’s light weight fun but it ended up booooooooooring because it’s TOO DAMNED LONG. And not enough Rui and Naohito Fujiki ;A; ), Tropics Thunder ( LOVED IT XDDD It’s so sad that Malaysian cinema are so behind with these releases :\ ) and Quantum of Solace ( WTF. I hate the title sequence and song. But the movie was pretty entertaining )

Penang trip with my ex-colleagues over the weekend. Awesome AWESOME fun food filled short trip! Will hopefully post pictures later? 8D;;

I may be the slowest j-rock fan in this part of the world but I’d just discovered that X-Japan will be having a concert in Bangkok on 31st January! BANGKOK, THAILAND! WE’RE PRACTICALLY NEIGHBOURS!!! is totally plotting and saving money to haul my ass over there already

Sam’s coming back to Malaysia this week! I missed her so much and I hope we’ll both find time to hang out before she has to fly back to Australia

Coincidentally, today is November 18th. Marking a full year since I cheered, laughed and cried at beloved Siam Shade’s reunion concert in Japan last year. Time really does fly ;A;

Also, I’d finally sorted through my Guangzhou photos folder. I’m probably too lazy to write about it in details, so expect photo-log to kill your bandwidth? 8Dv
