5th day in China

This morning, we went to see my cousin who own a pig farm in Qingdao. Anyway, I saw many interesting things there like the cotton trees (on the left) and the lettuce. I can't believe how huge it was.

Besides that the farm is also huge............

After visiting my cousin in Qingdao, we continued our way to Zibo, which the journey took about 3 hours.


Zibo is in the center of Shandong Province, neighboring Mt Taishan in the south and backing the Yellow River in the north. It is also bordered by hot coastal tourist cities, Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai in the east, and the capital city of the province, Jinan in the west. History: Zibo was the capital city of Qi Kingdom, one of the five powers in the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC). The city of Zibo was the birthplace of Cuju, a game regarded as the origin of ancient football (the FIFA recognizes Zibo as football's place of origin).

Although there are many attractions here, we didn't get to go. It was not part of the plan. We only stay here because tomorrow we are going to visit Qufu, the birthplace of Confusius....

3rd and 4th day in China


Today, I visited Weihai. Located in the east end of Shandong Province, its neighbors Yantai in the west and is separated from the Korean Peninsular and Japanese chain islands by the sea in the east.
We had the opportunity to burn firecrackers...all 5 of them as a sign of prosperity and peace in a very famous temple here. I like one of the attractions which is the Quan Yin Pusa emitting water...


Anyway, I spent 2 nights in Qingdao, a beautiful seaside port. For me, it looks like Penang and Kuantan combined together. I saw a Jusco here.

I got to spend time in the beer factory, tasting newly fresh brew beer.







I also got the opportunity to visit Little Fish Hill, where one can see the whole of Qingdao. One cannot believe how it was when I stepped down from the bus. It was dammmmmm freezing cold. The cold wind can pierce your heart.

2nd day in china

The breakfast I had today is different from the previous ones I had in other hotel. The menu include sushi and Korean food. Can u beat that?

After checking out from the hotel, our first stop is Penglai. Penglai, as a beautiful seaside city, is situated at Shandong Peninsula, bordering Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, with Liaodong Peninsula on the opposite bank. It has beautiful sceneries, enjoying a pleasant climate with no severe cold of winter, no intense heat of summer. It is famous for "the marvelous spectacles of the mirage", the legend of "the Eight Immortals crossing the sea", "the world famous Penglai pavilion" and Penglai Water Castle and many historical spots.



The famous mirage of all..the replica of Penglai.





I climbed up the steps to become one of the 'angel' hahahahaha... The sceneries are beautiful.

After that, I went to Weihai... This is where I am now. Coooooollll... I had whiskey with dinner...,

13th Oct - Going to China

Woke around 415, took bath and by 530 on my way to Changi Airport with my uncle and aunt. By 840, I was on my way to Peking on SQ802. Around two something, I arrived at Peking, China. The airport is huge but the human resources are terrible. Although Peking is a metropolitan, the people working in the airport are not well trained. They are unprofessional. At this juncture, I feel like Malaysia is better. I was suppose to transit at 615 to YinTai but the flight was delayed until 800. I boarded the national flight Air China. The plane is dirty and the steward and stewardess couldn't converse well in English. The flight was further delayed due to the congestion with planes flying in and out. By the time I reached YanTai, it was nearly 10.00. I stepped out from the plane, never expecting it to be cold. Well, it's nearly winter and the temperature was 10 degree celcius. I checked into a beautiful hotel and it's rooms are vast. Like the one in Langkasuka Beach Hotel.

Getting busy

It has been awhile since I blog. I have been busy lately.... busy getting my life back on track. It all went downhill before the Raya, thanks to no good person and his idiotic hypocrite girlfriend aka twice divorcee. Anyway..for the past 2 or 3 weeks, I have been changing my style and attitude and I have learn that money is important in whatever you do. So, now I have programmed my mental attitude is to earn money asap and to gain power as to get back at those people who wronged me.

For the past 3 days, I have been invited to close gatherings organized by the VIPS. One is by the local counsellor and the other is one Datuk who own a 5 storey banglo in Teluk Gong. Guess what, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was there. Hahaha..never think of meeting him up close and personal..

Well, in 12 hours time, I would be making my trip to China with the first stop in Singapore. The trip of the year. I wonder would I be able to cope.....after all the mental stress on me. Well... wish me good trip and good health........
