Tonight's reunion I will be having with my own family :) Yeyy !

Went to Vivo City for shopping

Blog updated again :) even though it's already few days ago. 

Two days ago, on Saturday 04 January 2014 my sister, my cousin and me went to the Vivo city. First we went to Harbour Front. We went there because my sister wanted to go back home and she had her holiday in Singapore about one week. We went there by MRT, actually we wanted to take a taxi, but we cannot :( it was because of two reasons first my sister has spend all her money in shopping haha, the second one was the things that she brought were not really heavy so three of us took one luggage. We board MRT from tampines to Harbour Front, actually it was not a long journey, it only took us about 40 minutes to arrive in Harbour Front. After we reached Harbour Front, we directly went to buy the ferry ticket for my sister. Soon, we went to Vivo City to have our lunch, it was a late lunch actually because the time that we had our lunch was about 3 pm haha!. We went to eat Long John Silvers, I don't quite like to eat that kind of fast food, but my sister insisted to eat that so I was forced to eat :( but never mind. 

After we had our lunch, we wanted to go to the top of vivo city, it's called Sky Park, to take photo, because the scenery is very beautiful. Unfortunately it was raining at that time so we couldn't to go upstairs to take photo, so only can go shopping in harbour centre and vivo city until can check in for the ferry. 

At last, my sister has boarded the ferry, my cousin and i got nothing to do then, So we went to Daiso to bought some things. Daiso is the store that sell the things for $2 only, we can shop many things there all the things are imported from Japan :)

After bought the things, we went out to Sky Park and took many photos :D

At that time, I wore OBEY tee, high waist jeans which bought at Bugis Street, my black boots bought at Somerset and long champ bag :)

That day was really tiring day :( but really fun actually :) 
Hope next time I can go out again with my cousin and my sister.

01.01.2014 The first day in 2014

It is a late post :(
Actually i wanted to post this in the first of January, but I cannot because I have been busy. So, now i'm free then can update it now.

Now is 2014 time flies so fast. 2013 was awesome for me, hope in 2014 can bring me joy, luck and be a awesome year for me. *LOVE*
On the first of January we went to eat SUSHI EXPRESS, which is located in Tampines 1 (one) the sushi there was very yummy and all the sushi cost $1.50 / pcs only. It is quite cheap :) My aunt and uncle treat me to eat sushi. Sushi is my favorite food I really like to eat sushi very much.
I, my sister and also my cousin have eaten about 25 plates if i'm not mistaken haha, because it was several days ago and I have forgotten how many plates that we have eaten at that time. We have 6 overall I, my sister, aunt, uncle and two of my cousins have eaten 60 plates of sushi, OMG !! haha I was shocked at that time. Thank you for my uncle for treat me to eat sushi :)

This was just a part of the plates, I didn't capture the other plates :D

The eighth day

On the eighth day, there got nothing special at all. That time we woke up very early, it is because that on that time it was Monday and the tour guide was worried if there was a traffic jam so we cannot reach to the airport on the time. 

Time was really passed very fast, it looked like just yesterday I reached China. I really miss the cold which was 3 - 7 degree celsius. I hope i can go to another place for holiday this year :) 

The seventh day

On 29 December 2013 was the last day of our holiday in Xiamen. On this day, we went to Gu Lang Yu in the morning, and in the afternoon we went to the biggest shopping street uin Xiamen, this street got many things to buy the price also not so expensive. This street called Zhong Shan Lu, they said everybody will come to this place. it was a very big place. I managed to buy clothes that costs me RMB 50 and also many rings, I bought rings because I wanted to give to my beloved friends. :) Actually I wanted to buy more again, it was all because of the time! :( In the night, we went to sightseeing, this sightseeing took us 40 minutes. After we came out from the ship, on our way to go to our bus it was really cold, and then the tour guide told us at that time it was 3 degree celsius, all of was shocked. It was the lowest degree and that time I was really cold 

The sixth day

On the sixth day, we went to Xiamen beach and also sit cable car.

The Fifth day - Xiamen

After we stayed one night in Shantou Hotel, we moved to another hotel again. Because the tour stated that we only stayed one night in Shantou. So we took out our luggage again and put tit inside the bus and started to journey to Xiamen. The journey to Xiamen was really a long journey it took 4 hours to get to Xiamen. They said that Xiamen is a island, it is similar to Singapore. 4 hours was quite long, so the tour guide said that we made it half, after 2 hours we went to eat lunch and had other activities. So we agreed.

After 2 hours, we have reached in one of the highest stairs in China. This stairs have 811 ! It was really high! we all wanted to climb to the top of the stair, on the top of the 811 stairs, we can pray to the God. So we decided to climb. From 19 people who can survived to climb to the top of the stairs only 10 people hahaha (included me oo). At first, I thought that I was unable to climb to the top of the stairs, but at last I was succeed !

After climbed 811, all of us was starved so we had lunch in this place :

And then after 4 hours, we finally arrived in Xiamen Island. If i'm not mistaken we arrived at there it was already 5 o'clock. It was afternoon already. 

This was the hotel that we stayed for 3 nights. It was a big hotel, this hotel got 3000 rooms. The tour guide said that this hotel is the biggest hotel in Xiamen. This hotel called XiangLu Grand Hotel.

This was a part of the room.. i didn't managed to capture all the part of the room it was because that at that time I was really tired :(

The forth day in Shantou ..

Here is my forth day in China - Shantou. The first three day we spend in Chao Zhou, actually this place was not really nice, and you cannot find many clothes or other things there, what you can find in there only food, such as smelly tofu, Bing tang hu lu, and the others.
On the forth day, we took out our luggage and put them inside the bus and continued our journey to Shantou, it was not a long journey actually. Before we went to Shantou, we visited a museum, this museum was full of traditional things, one of the things that I captured with my phone is this :

After we visited this museum, our tour guide took us to one of the shopping mall in Shantou, beside the shopping mall there also got the street that sell many things, clothes and also food. So we went there to take a look and also bought some food. :)

After walked for two hours, we decided to have dinner in the restaurant. Because I was too bored at that time, so i took this photo, it is because that i was too full and i cannot eat anymore haha :P

First we went here, went to the garden ( I don't remember what the place was haha, forgot to ask the tour guide :p )
