Well, I got the date for my NS enlistment le. It's on the 7th of September '06. =\ needa wait a few more months than other friends. >_<
Man... 1 month and 1 week of holiday in Hong Kong & mainland China! Just a blink of an eye and I am back in Singapore! A great and fun-filled trip! A memorable one! The hosts were great, and made me feel alot of family warmth and togetherness. Bought many things and some were relatives' needs. Our baggages got too heavy that Jolene and I have to leave some in HK. Moreover we reached the airport late. Such that 11.05am was the flight, we reached the airport at 10.30am. Was so rush that we anyhow threw some of the things out to relatives to take back.
ok ok... enough of talkings. I know u r getting impatience. Lets flood this place with lotsa photos taken!

China is a place where I got my many first times. What do I mean? Oh... such as 1st time
- came to visit China, and for such a long period of time
- stayed in Nan An - Shi Jing town, stayed in such a big house (4-storeys high, but 2nd & 3rd floor are yet to furnish)
- drinking & eating pig's heart, pig's kidney and ate so much pieces of meat then discovered those were pig's tongues?!!
- took motorcycle as transport
- being transported on a motorcycle with a rider, and 3 pillion riders (including me) so total there were 4 people on the bike! - was shocked and scary while on the bike.
