One Night in Beijing

Travel Time!

IA is ending in 2 days' time, and after that, I would be embarking on a 2 1/2 week tour to Chengdu and Yunnan.

Sigh ... don't know how i am feeling anyway. Sort of know that this dream is coming to an end liao, and I would wake up to final year and its project. But then I've been planning and anticipating this trip for so long liao, I should be feeling excited about it. Seems like I am getting bogged down and tired out by the planning and the misc stuff that comes with it.

And then there's this grant from somebody, in which its condition of award, I feel, is asking too much from me and my company. And I feel I am squeezed in between the somebody, my company and NTU. Coz the grant is applied by NTU, on our behalf, and hence the info flows from the somebody to NTU, then to us. Aiyah ... everything so last minute, and asking for ... too much.

And the end of this GIP or IA is ... as messy as the beginning of it.

In the midst of this state of mental and emotional confusion, I must still inform you guys, no matter how few this number may be, of my plans and possible whereabouts.


The red boxed places are parts of China I've been to previously before IA, and the yellow boxed cities are those I've visited, and will be visiting, during my IA.

This short period of 6 months had taken me to many places in China; Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Qingdao and Guangzhou. On saturday, I would going to Chengdu again and Yunnan.

I would be flying out to Chengdu on the 15th July. From there I would be touring 九寨沟, 黄龙, 峨嵋山, 乐山.

Then on the 22nd July, I would be flying southwards to Yunnan, Kunming. From there ... haiyah ... go a lot of places lah. I will be visiting all the main attractions in Yunnan.

Till then, I expect to reach SG in early August, earlier than I've previously planned. Things have changed and I would not be making a detour to Guangzhou n Hong Kong, so I would be back for a short break before lessons start at NTU.
