heaven and hell

Back from Beijing! Haha.
So after much prodding from ppl, here i am to post a little abt my trip.

I dunno why, but I just find the way the Beijing ppl talk quite nice. Haha. Though to most of you you'd probably find it irritating. They'll slang and slur their words like dunno wad. Most of their "n's" will be replaced by "r's". Or actually, they like to end their sentences with something-'r'.
E.g "hai shi zou ze bianr hui bi jiao hao ar (hai shi zou ze bian hui bi jiao hao ya)"
Haha.

Anyway, if you are the sort who are afraid to jaywalk in Singapore, I think if u go Beijing you can forget about crossing any roads alrdy.
Their red lights there like no red lights ah.
U can cross with the green man and still will have cars chionging at you and horning at you for blocking their way. =.= And they'll start scolding as well. Wonderful aint it?
Its like a new mini adventure each time we cross a street...lol.

The pollution was bad. The fog, or smog more like it, can be seen very thick just 100 metres in front of you. Not to mention it makes breathing difficult...

One thing that I must say is good in Beijing is that, the soldiers there are dam vigilant. Got once we walked the wrong place, and they shouted at us to go back the way we came like they wanted to kill us liddat. Haha. Everywhere the soldiers are very at attention. The way they patrol is unbelievable la. Non stop. There's no way anyone can get past them man.

Oh and another thing, the citizens there love to bang into you on the streets. To them , you're invisible. Haha. So tit for tat lor. There was once I ended up having to shove this old lady aside for freaking pushing me so far. Lol. Aye dun be fooled by 'old lady'. They are dam strong. I almost got knocked to the ground by a bloody old man. Wth.

I think the country has seen a lot of infrastructural development. Their central area is like orchard road. Very busy and lots of high buildings. Perhaps its because of the olympics tt's causing the vast changes.

Other than that, nothing much to say. Haha.
Shopping, shopping and more shopping. Bought lots and lots of stuff. Haha. Its nice to bargain with them. =)
If not shopping, then its sightseeing.


Imperial palace.

I forgot where is this.

See that little tower at the top?


That's the one behind them. Haha. That's how far we climbed XD

I'd probably be uploading the other pics soon. Maybe in a mth or so. Haha. I am just a lazy bum. Lol.

Im a sucker for cows la. Haha when i saw this i just had to take it!


Reminded me of Shuen. Maybe cos of the similarity. LOL.

Argh. Ok I am tired of trying to recall what happened in Beijing. So I shall stop here. Haha.


Last night I had a very scary dream.
I dreamt that I, along with another person, only had 1 more day to live, and that I was going to die. It felt so dam real. Apparently I knew I was going to die of a heart attack or something of that sorts. The people ard me knew that as well. They could not do anything and just looked at me with those sad sad eyes.

In my dream, my 2nd attack would kill me. That I was sure. When I experienced the first one inside, it felt all too real and scary. Couldn breath and stuff. When I recovered from the first one, I could feel weak. No energy to do anything. I stopped feeling much emotion. All I knew was that deep down inside, I was wishing my heart out for a way out of this end. I felt so lost. To make matters worst, the other person died right in front of my eyes before me. I never felt so helpless before.

I was just waiting to die. Literally. Ppl around me cried. It tore me apart.

So you can imagine the relief when I woke up to find that I am still fine. Haha. I just stunned there on my bed for dunno how long. Just being able to breath properly was such a good feeling.

Once again, I am reminded of my morality in this world...

I dunno, but I feel this is all too, surreal. It sends a chill down my spine =(
