Call me SiMoN !!

Well, today, I'm gonna be your guide to Guilin! Haha! Just kidding. Anyway, I went to Guilin on the 2nd of September while waiting for my school to reopen. I had never gone to Guilin before but many birds told me that Guilin is a very beautiful place to visit, with astonishing hills and unbelievably, natural caves. That really caught my attention as I'm a person who enjoys visiting mother nature's creative work of art.

First, we took the evening flight from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur. We took Air Asia and we landed at LCCT. Our flight to Guilin was actually at 6am the next morning so we killed our night at the airport. At first, everything seemed okay for us as we reached KL at around 10pm and we just had to wait for 7 hours. 7 HOURS! Tiffiny and I actually spent half of the 7 hours in McDonald, while watching movie via PPStream. Gosh, LCCT improved alot in their WiFi system because the internet speed was very fast. 1-2MB per sec. For the second half of the 7 hours, we did nothing but strolling around the whole airport. From the restaurants till the dark alleys. I didn't sleep for the whole 7 hours because I had some kind of experience when I was waiting for my early flight in Macau. I didn't sleep and I still have to energy to do lots of stuffs. I didn't even feel cold or uneasy when I stayed awake. But when I started to close my eyes for a 1 minute short rest, I could feel my body heat dropping and I started to shiver and became dozy.

Anyway, we waited patiently for our flight and we boarded our flight at 6am sharp. I heard rumours saying that our flight from KL o Guilin was the first flight line for AirAsia and we might be welcomed as honorable guests when we reached Guilin. The flight was full and after we settled our luggages, I got myself comfortable and took a nap. The flight was approximately 4 hours so it was quite boring in the flight.

We ordered one Nasi Lemak in the airplane. I saw what Kennysia commented about it so I decided to have a try myself. Kennysia, you are right. The thing you ordered looked completely different from the pictures. The Nasi Lemak tasted alright, but it just don't worth it. Seeing is unbelieving.

Next, we were in Guilin. Ya, we were welcomed by the authorities in Guilin but not so grand. We didn't have fir crackers or red carpets or whatever. They had flowers, but those were for our pilots. The airport was not big, but just enough. We went for the custom and there's nothing special happened, but we saw a man's bouquet of flower being forfeited by the customs. Besides that, you'll see those typical and aged China people who used to talk as if everyone is deaf. I just don't get it. Why must you shout when you open your mouth? Try to be a little bit civilize when you are in the public. That will really help decreasing hearing problems of others around you. Thank you.

Our Tour guide told us that most of the hills in Guilin consisted of limestones. In millions of years ago, the whole Guilin region was actually deep beneath the ocean, but it emerged from the sea because of the earth's plate movement. Forget about geography, let's enter the cave. They got so many neon lamps in it, but it made the whole cave looked livelier and brighter.

Our tour guide told us that in these caves, for every steles and stalagmites you saw, it took them 1000 years to grow a length of 3-5cm. Some of the steles are 5-7 storeys high, so try guess their ages. The whole passage in the cave is U-shaped and in it, you can buy souvenirs and take some photos. To my surprise, caves are humid and slippery place, but in Guilin's travelling caves, their floors were clean with no mucus or rubbish for me, caves in Malaysia require 10 times hard work and maintenance to be equal with Guilin's.

Okay, that's all for today. I'm gonna continue posting someday when I'm free regarding my trip in Guilin. So, for you guys out there, thank you for visiting my blog. And for my family, I'm fine right here in school and no worries. It's 2.11am now, so I guess I gotta climb up to my bed now. Nite Nite!

Yeah!!! After being isolated from internet for so long, finally I managed to get online, using the school internet service. Anyway, China changed quite a bit since I left, I mean GuangZhou, but the "culture" here haven't changed yet, if you get what I meant. Ya, the rudeness and insanitary habits. I gotta learn to get used to it, but it still takes some time.

Oh ya, before I forgot, I'll be posting my days in GuiLin in the coming posts soon when I'm free, so, Stay Tune! Lol!

I'm having my Mooncake Festival's holiday till Monday, so I'm kinda free at the moment. There's lots and lots of things that I want to share you guys, but I can't do it at once.

So, see ya! I gotta take my bath now. I smells like Shrek right now. Aidios!

It's a pretty and sunny Sunday. My brothers were at Ranchan Fountain, Serian for their Boys' Brigade's fun camp so we decided to give them a surprise visit.

Anyway, this is 2nd time going to Ranchan Fountain (as far as I could recall) and I was deeply disappointed by the 1st visit there because the environment was far different from what I expected. Ranchan Fountain is known for it's simple but beautiful natural fountains and forest scenery, but what I saw most was rubbish... What the hell! I soaked my precious steam-chicken-like body into the crystal clear and icy cool water. I was enjoying when I saw left over KFC fried chicken's bones (luckily not human's!) and used diapers between rocks beside me. Walau EH! My whole body was actually having some sort of "special" therapy using baby's pee and poo. Sucks... There goes my first impression for Ranchan Fountain.

But this time, I yearned for some changes. At least I didn't see diapers and bones anywhere. Here's a few snapshots I took during the day. Enjoy!
