beijing

Straight after election, i disappear from sg. i had to go to inner mongolia to do something on the same day.

During my Tong Liao trip, i managed to find time to explore beijing city as i need to do some transit.

There are a few flights to beijing on sunday and i decided to book the most crazy flight.. 12am depart, 6am arrive

First Stop.. Beijing Zoo

This animal caught my attention.. its name is Malu.. haha



i felt that these flowers opened quite pretty..
As i dont feel like eating western food for lunch, i bought biscuits to eat instead. Beijing is quite big but dont really have small caterings.. Else.. i lousy and cant find any.

The first day ended with rain while i trying to find zhu shi kou. there was a special request to find something in that area.


Then i saw this lazy animal.. so lazy that it did not wanna pose for me to take photo


On my return, i reserved abt 4hours for forbidden city.
as i did not do any research, i ask for directions on the street.
I asked the Mrt staff 'where should i alight to go to Zi Jing Cheng'
she look blur at me..






Imperial Garden



The throne room.
Kang Xi had placed his heir's name behind the signboard


Top view of Forbidden City from Jing Shan.
Jing Shan is said to be the centre of the entire city.


The night view of the tian an men was nice


This is Qian Men, next to it is Zhu Shi Kou.

Tong Liao

This is the first time that i went northern china. To be exact, TongLiao, Inner Mongolia. We have a subsidiary there and i suppose to go there to meet beijing inner auditor.

This place is quite ulu. But the flight is full. There is a mini airport there. The length of the airport 70% smaller than Sg Budget Airport. It only has a waiting area, and check in area and a runway.





My china bosses bring us to eat goat and cow meat for all meals.. All meals also consist of wine and beer. if u dont drink, its like u dont give them face. Even the girls there can drink.

We requested for singers to our room to entertain us with some keerqin songs.

i believe ke er qin is part of tongliao. it was the homeland of empress xiao zhuang, mother of emperor qing shun zi.


Ke er qin musumem, which is closed.

GE 2011

The voting kicked off at 8am.
This is a very interesting election, with many bad news from everywhere.

We got news that SM Goh said no personal attack but he 'attacked' his previous staff who is running for opposition.
A msg from Ms Tin was found on media on our very first Cooling Day.
Facebook found a clip saying MM Lee had made a ISD threat.
Tears found during Rallies by many parties.
Sorry was said by PM Lee.
There are also cartoon and modified posters from movies for some parties.

So many first times...

GE 2011

A lot of new 'termology' came out from this election.
Aljunied had a new tiger. Drivers now need co-driver juz like pilots.

There are some policies which i dont like from the ruling party. but policies from the opposition, i also dont like.

minimum wages was started in hk but it resulted an inflation of almost 20%.

cutting NS is also a joke to me. now already left 24mths which some guys are not getting the experience for real wartime.

Some suggest that Radio & TV licence fees should be abolished as they impose additional burdens on the People. I tot its alreaedy abolished?

HDB to be marked to cost+. I prefer a market value HDB with 50% subsidise for singaporean.

hm.. Any Party suggesting to allow dialect back to tv/ radio?
