8D7N Stylish Shanghai + fascinating Jiangnan (part 1)

Every year, my aunt will organise some family trips to somewhere in order to maintain our closrer relationship and of course the most importantly is to enjoy and appreciate every single of our time together.As you know when you grow older, you don't have that much "time" anymore to accompany them just like  younger time. Everyone has their own routines and things to busy on. Kinda of sad right? Anyway, this time was different. My aunt decided to join tour to Shanghai and Jiangnan as my Canadian aunt is back to visit us who doesn't come back for 12 years. Oh well, when I first heard that we are going ahead to these places by joining tour, I'm horrified ! I was like "OH MY GOD",NO" . I heard a lot of disadvantages for joining a tour. As you know in a tour ,there will be at least 20 or 30 ++ people ahead. Some people might be very fussy,talk loudly like everybody is deaf , judgemental ,impatience , love to be late and let everybody to wait for them as if they are princess or prince  ,plus uncooperative!!!! I scare when I really encounter with these kind of people, I might totally lost my patience and shout loudly and fiercely "FUCK UP" to them. HAHAHAHA

Fortunately, everything went so well. Turn to another way, it meant "LUCKY" though! It was because this time the tour only had 15 members ! All of the tour members were quite friendly...PHEWWWWW!!!! I wanna to praise the tour guides. All of the tour guides that I encountered were professional and informative. Some of them were so humour  and good at making jokes.Hence, it made all of us laughed madly like an idiot!  Ok, straight to the topic now.

First night in SUZHOU hotel-Su Yuan Hotel

*Those bold words are the part of the highlights in Suzhou. Cruise along the Ancient Canal is a must place to visit in Suzhou. Suzhou is only a small town. The old ones always mention Suzhou as a "East Vernice of the World" or "Paradise on the earth".The city is well-known to its classical gardens, it have been listed as the great world heritage sites.

1/6(Second day): Suzhou/Nanjing

Visited the silk factory in Suzhou as their silks are quite famous for.One part of its tourism attraction. After that, proceeded to Nanjing. From Suzhou to Nanjing, it took nearly 3 hours by bus. Went to visit the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall and Confucius Temple Night Market.

Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall

300000 victims( most of them were Nanjing's citizen) were killed by Japanese Army

Timeline for the massacre that happened in Nanjing

Bought a basketball panda. I called it  "LING LING PANDA"

冰糖葫芦.It's one of the well-known snacks in China.I didn't try it because I  did not have that "GUT".LMAO

with my beloved family in Confucius Temple Night Market

The KFC that I've tried in Nanjing was tasted like heaven. Seriously,I am not LYING ! I ordered their portugese egg tart and mash potatoes. I loved their egg tart so much!!!The taste was almost similar to the Macau's portguse egg tart. Walao, I don't even know since when KFC has started to sell egg tart. 

Here it's the link about the Nanjing Massacre event. If you are interested, just click the following link to have a read.  http://www.nj1937.org/english/default.asp. From what I've known, the Nanjing citizens hate Japanese a lot until today especially the old ones. This event , I could say it's a biggest disaster that happened ever in Nanjing. Japanese used various kind of violence ways to slaughter them. I felt bad for those innocent victims and their families.

Will be continued for coming part 2 &part 3. Stay tuned...

Singapore's Trip

It was a short trip to SINGAPORE, 3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS..Every trip to Singapore never fail me. Singapore is truly a vibrant, green city. Even the hawker centre, it's damn clean. Sinagporean are very concern about their hygiene . The hawker centre's toilet in Malaysia and Singapore, I can only say that , it's "incomparable". I'm impressed by  Lee Kuan Yew for turning Singapore from a small country into one of the world's major commercial hub.The main purpose for going to Singapore this time was be my Canadian's aunt personal tour guide.  Our time in Singapore was limited as it was only a 3 days 2 nights trip. I did some researches from internet. If you only have little time to stay in Singapore and you don't know where to visit, you can take my researches as a reference. I lived in Chinatown. I rent a room with $85 per night in People's Park Complex(in CHINATOWN'S area).The transportation in Chinatown area was very convenient Due to currency problem, it's quite expensive after exchanged from MYR to Singapore Dollar.By the way, here it's my research (MAIN TOURISM ATTRACTIONS IN SINGAPORE):

1. MERLION STATUE

2.CHINATOWN

3.MARINA BAY SAND

4.GARDEN BY THE BAY

5.CLARK QUAY

6.NEWTON HAWKER FOOD CENTRE

7.BUGIS STREET

8.ORCHARD ROAD

*TIPS:As our Malaysia money's value keep depreciated, everything will be more expensive in every foreign country. I advise you guys to be well-prepared before you go to any country. Find some ways to save your cost of living when you are travelling in foreign countries in order to have more money to hunt their delicious foods and other things.Also, it's not necessary to take taxi always in Singapore.You can use their MRT/LRT to the place where you want to go. Transportation in Singapore is so convenient.It links everywhere.So,NO WORRIES!!!

A SISTER who comes from another country @ our KK TRIP

“It is so good to have friends who understand how there is a time for crying and a time for laughing, and that sometimes the two are very close together.” 

― Lois Lowry, A Summer to Die

I has a sister who comes from another country which I have known for 1 year in my uni life.She comes from Krzygstan.Have you ever feel when you are away from home, you need some acquaintances to kill your loneliness? The cruel fact is it's hard to find someone who knows you well in other places within short period of time just like your best friends in your own hometown who knows your everything.Fortunately,  I've found it. Both of us have same height,same skin tone and 80% of similar personalities.Sometimes, we can read each other.The only difference is I love shopping but she loves to visit those heritage sites.I'm affected by her so called "ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT".

Throughout this 1 year, we did a lot of crazy stuffs.We celebrated Valentine's day, sing k for 3 hours,traveled,overnight, hiking,studied,joined some events, went out before our final exam(yeah, I know that we r crazy) and so on.Both of us are very "cincai" so one day she said :"hey, SHARON,we r CINCAI SISTER".

Other than that, I love to punch her chubby cheek because her cheeks are too CHUBBY! We seldom hang out or mix with whole big gang. Not because we r anti-social,it's just because we enjoy being with each other together.  It's really very fun when you hang out or mix with whole big gang but then out of this whole bunch of people, how many people will know you the most?Will you share your secrets by telling to all of them or just only one?

Just recently, we went to KK together to enjoy our very last moment and she came to visit my vibrant hometown-MIRI. Oh ya, I've made a damn embarassing joke on the night before we went back to MIRI.(you know I know XD)

Unfortunately, I was not a best tour guide . I don't know what to show her in MIRI but WILSON did(SAVERRRRRRRRRRR)!!!!!! The day she went back to KL, both of us hugged and cried together in airport. I kept reminiscing our memories .Pieces and pieces of memories kept hitting my mind. After I waved my very last goodbye with bringing some tears in my eyes to her , I walked away without looking it back. It's hard to say "GOODBYE". Everyone needs to move on and now I am very looking forward for our "reunion day". You'll always be missed,my CINCAI SISTER!Thx for passing by in my life:)

You are always my "CINCAI SISTER"!Wish you all the best in your future!
