China Trip - Part 1

13th March 2009, Friday

Finally, I am back, from the China Trip.. Fully recharged & refresh.. haha.. Well, would like to summarize the trip highlight before i forget. Actually din take lots of pics.. i think the weather to be blamed.. haha.. slightly cold there.. temperature was approx. 10-13 Degree Celsius when we first day arrived at Xiamen.

1st day of the trip, 7th March 2009, Saturday.

Alvin and myself have to fly from JB to KLIA to meet up with my family.. We took the first flight from JB to KLIA, at 7.00am. We reached airport at 5.40am.. After checked in procedure, we went for the breakfast at the malay restaurant in airport.. Both of us still sleepy, unconscious, and hungry... haha.. But the milo is so sweet.. i really cannot take it.. aiks.. But Alvin seems enjoying it so much??

Finally we gathered with my dearest family members in KLIA.. and took the 4 hours flight to Xiamen.. We reached Xiamen at noon time.. hungry and cold... Lots of things to be settled:- baggage collection, gather all the "tour members" (there are 16 of us in the group), meet up with our relative in Xiamen airport and move up the baggage to the bus.. Argh.. hungry ==> frustration..

After check-in at the Hotel (Plaza Xiamen), we paid a visit to my grand 1st aunt (my grandfather's 1st sister) who is staying in Xiamen.. We were offered duck herbal soup (hot soup!!) and poh piah... Yummy.. At least keep our tummy sustain for awhile.. haha.. Lots of chit chat among the "elder adult" (or should I say, "mature" folks?? haha) after 2 years not meeting.. We the young adults patiently waiting there for them to settle with the discussion, before we go shopping at the nearby shopping mall..

Dad promised to treat the relatives a dinner, as replacement of bob's wedding dinner. Extremely poor restaurant management has pissed me off.. The "car parking" lady knows nothing but to arrange for car park only. Argh.... So "smart" of them... Make big group of us, standing at the entrance, do nothing but keep asking us what is the phone number of the personm who has made the reservation... Crazy.. The food... Hm... not my preference.. Strange seafood dishes been served.. Super big portion, and 12 (or more? don know.. too many) dishes served.. Sorry to say, but i personally think that the dinner is really so so nia.... But it was really expensive.. Hm.. No like, no like...
