Gone Hiatus~

Mental block, ideal block, whatever you call it. I am going hibernating for a while.

But but but but, don't stop checking back. Who knows I am just saying that play play only???

The thing is that GMAT test I signed up is getting really really near. Gonna start preparing it more from now on. No more play play and taking things easy.

Till then, take care all!

Dream Destination - Pingyao, Shanxi China

When I have $$ one of these days, I will go backpacking to PingYao at Shanxi Province, China.





Staying at old chinese mansion with a glimpse of their glorious past





Throttling along the old walkways finding the ever first security service in China



The Oldest Bank in China



Shopping in the old mainstreet





Maybe I will go to Datong as well, enjoy sceneries that I never knew exist.





Stroll along the narrow pathway in the Yungang Grottoes






But for now, with me a poor as a churce mouse, and not much annual leave left, I will just have to start working and stop dreaming!

After that while planning to go home, stumbled onto this indian temple nearby. They happen to have some big celebration or sort.

The poor elephant was made to perform tricks under hot sun with someone on top of him. Poor thing~!

Elephant dung all around the place

P5120016
A colorful small float found nearby, maybe it is to be towed by the elephant?

Toothbrush >:-(

Everytime when I stand in front of the toothbrush section, I can't help but curse.

Why do the manufacturer stop making the "HARD" toothbrush anymore? Look at all of them, it is either, soft, very soft, medium soft, medium, but never HARD. Why why why???

Now I've got to rely on this old toothbrush that I bought in Melbourne since August last year, and the look of it is getting disgusting.

Grr...
