Cold spring

Winter was last year and I was expecting Guangzhou to be a little bit warmer, but I was wrong.

This month is supposed to be spring and the weather should be warm and comfortable. The temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius (It's nothing if compared to other provinces in China, like Beijing), but still, I considered that VERY COLD!! I think I kinda get myself fully adapted with Malaysia's weather condition, so having myself in such a "cold" place after a 4 hours flight is still not enough for me to cope with it.

In spite of the weather, the scenery in my campus is marvelous (maybe a little bit exaggerated). The blossomy trees are eye-catching and I am really in love with them (cause I've never seen such scene before, except in TVs).

Here's a few pictures for your eyes to savour, hehe.

Somewhere near the Main gate (South Gate) and the Main Teaching Building.
On the way to our dorm, greenish leaves~
But suddenly disappeared after a few paces...
We saw this special tree somewhere in the campus, pink and white, special huh?
Hehe, cheese~
And myself, muahaha!

A weird experience

Well, I was on my plane to Guangzhou on the 26th of February when this kinda weird incident happened.

My flight was at 4.20pm and I was supposed to reached Guangzhou's Baiyun Airport by 8.30pm and my dorm at around 10pm. When the plane was "on air" for around an hour, the pilot suddenly reported that there was something wrong with our plane's radar and due to the hazy weather at the South China Sea, we had to take a U-turn back to LCCT. One of the stewardess explained to some frustrated passengers that the pilot had to do so in order to prevent any unexpected incidents, such at collision with other planes and what-so-ever.

Nothing serious or life-threathening happened, but this is my first time taking to U-turn back to airport and had my flight postponed. We departed at 7.50pm sharp and reached Guangzhou in midnight, and reached my dorm at 2am! I tried to take a nap during my 4 hours flight, but some of the excited passengers couldn't get their seats warm and kept on talking in very uneasy tone, especially the old businessman 2 rows ahead.

Anyway, I enjoyed the 1 hour of peaceful ride along Guangzhou's city back to my campus, though the scene of a drunken man vomitted out from a taxi made my stomach uneasy.

Thank God for the safe trip and I'll be updating more of my trip in Seremban (hehe). C ya.

In Guangzhou

Well, after being in my sweet hometown, Kuching for more than a month, i'm back in GuangZhou, again. Nothing much has changed.

I'm kinda busy and tired lately because of all the chores that have to be done in my dorm. I'll post more when I'm free.
