China Travel Diary: Day 5

Finally I am back from the long hiatus. First of all, I would like to apologise for the 1 month hiatus. Have been so busy with school, exams and national examinations lately. Yesterday was my last day of school and I am feeling so relaxed now! No more stress :D 

So, this is the continuation of my winter holiday to China.  So, on the day 5 of our journey, we were in Su Zhou. Su Zhou is know for its beautiful ladies, they said. But sadly I didn't find any pretty ladies there. Lol. 

In Su zhou, we went to visit Tiger hill. The hill is named as Tiger hill because it looks like a crouching tiger. 


It has several features and I will only tell you some here (since I didn't take all of its photos) 

See the cutting in the rock? It is believed that it was cut into two pieces by a legendary sword with extraordinary sharpness 

This is a spring of simplicity and honesty. It is a well (I only capture this spring sign, didn't take a photo of the well, sorry) in which, according to the legend, appeared as a spring to an exhausted monk carrying water up the entire length of the hill. 

And, see the pagoda in the first picture? This is the pagoda. Its name is Yunyan Pagoda. It is known for its lean. In more than a thousand of years, the pagoda has gradually slanted due to the force of nature. 


Okay. While we were walking to get out of this place, we saw a good spot, and its ootd time! ;) 



Okay. Our journey in Su Zhou stops there. After that, we were heading to Wu xi. 

In Wu xi, we went to visit Three Kingdom castle or San Guo Cheng (三国城) in Chinese.  Major classic reproduction on tv is filmed here in Wuxi 

Beautiful view, eh? 

This is lake Tai hu. It is still located inside the Three Kingdom castle. This wooden ships were used for filming too, and we got an opportunity to ride it to see the beautiful scenery around the lake. 


Inside the ship. My hand was holding a street-snack that I bought outside the ship. It was pretty nice. 


And.... There was groups of birds following the ship.  

After that, we went to see a horse ride show. I actually don't understand what is going on in the show. All I know is that they were fighting. Lol. 

So, my day 5 journey stops here. See you later everyone :)

A Touristy Stroll

No longer a tourist, but this touristy spot is simply irresistible. I am pretty sure everyone knows where this is. Yep, the famous Haji Lane in Singapore. Absolutely the must-go-to spot for our fellow instagrammers whenever they visit Singapore. Whether you just love street photography or fashion ootd shot, this picturesque alley surrounded with quirky stores, bars, and restaurant is not something to be missed, right? As for me, its quite a struggle to take my outfit shot here. Came around 5 p.m. in the afternoon, and there were a lot of people wanting to take some shots as well. Need to be quick and brisk in order to get this quite-empty background. Well, thanks to @deahamdan . Had a meet up with her at Bugis that day, then she accompanied me to Haji Lane and helped me to take a quick ootd shot. It was raining in the morning till afternoon, but luckily, the rain stopped when we wanted to go there!  Just a little story, last week, I turned 17. Well, its supposed ...

2017 - Recap.

The fact that January is going to end soon still leaves me in a shock. Time flies that fast, huh? I feel so bad that I haven't make a new year post or a 2017 recap post kinda thing like what most people do. I have been busy catching up with life and especially, uni. Well, what an excuse. However, I would like to thank 2017 for being a very very great year for me. In 2017, I said yes to many many many things. I learned to make important decisions, and especially, I learned how stand alone and solve things with my own feet. I learned that life can somehow be ruthless, but with a strong heart and positive mind, you can conquer it and good things will come to you. I learned that not everyone will like you, and it doesn't matter. How you love yourself and the way you treat yourself is all that matters. In 2017, I made plenty of friends. Sure, I lost some friends during my journey, but again, it doesn't matter. I also volunteered to many new outreach activities, beco...

Over thinking

 As the title says, I have been over thinking lately.. I over think everything, and even the smallest problem disturbs my mind... Monthly test are getting nearer, and as usual, I am so stressed! I want to score the best mark, but I somehow feel like I am not able to do it :( I think I put too much pressure on myself...     Stradivarius sweater Stradivarius skirt Topshop socks Vans shoes Michael Kors selma zip messenger in medium small eyes -_- sorry, the sun was too bright Sorry for a very short post. My mind is totally empty now that I couldn't think of anything. To those who are facing their tests, wish you a very good luck! Hope you will get a satisfying mark!
