After dinner, the excitement begins. My uncle Ben and his wife, Aunty Pam came back from UK after so many years to celebrate with us. Earlier that morning, he told us that he heard we're all good drinkers and wanted to challenge us after dinner. We took the challenge for fun. My uncle opened up 2 bottles of champagne to celebrate at first. Until everyone gotten high a little and start making noises, the BATTLE BEGINS!! COUSINS vs AUNTIES & UNCLES.

My uncle took out a bottle of Cordon Bleu, Swing and also Black Label. Crazy!

Family China Trip

I know. Its been months. but i only got time now to blog about it. Hehe.

My family & i went to China for a family trip in Dec after Christmas (26th Dec 09 - 2nd Jan 10). Yup, we celebrated New Year there. We went to Shanghai, Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Yiwu, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Macau all in 8 days. =)) Good itinerary though. We had an amazing time being together.

Day 1 (26th Dec 09)

We left KK at 7am to Shenzhen. And guess what? We met Joe Ma at the KK airportw with his whole family. I was stunned for a few seconds. Hehe. Oh, if you dont know who is that, thats him in the pic below.

So anyway, we arrived in Shenzhen by noon and waited for our transit to Shanghai. Arrived at Shanghai at night and visited Xin Tian Di. It was very cold.

Day 2 (27th Dec 09)

We visited Shanghai and then headed to Suzhou. It was snowing in Shanghai. Very nice.

Snowing.

Day 3 (28th Dec 09)

After Suzhou, we headed to Nanjing.

Day 6 (31st Dec 09)

Travel to Yiwu. This is a very small town. So we checked in hotel early and there was nothing to do. However, during dinner. Some of the uncles ordered bottles of beer. Cant remember how many were there. Bout 20 i think. Everyone drank and everyone was high. To celebrate New Year.

Day 7 (1st Jan 10)

We headed back to Shanghai. Went to Nanjing Road but it was super duper packed so we just hang around the streets behind which are less crowded and my siblings and i wanna get ice cream! Yes, in the super cold weather. For fun! We were already freezing. hehe

Day 8 (2nd Jan 10)

Flew back to Shenzhen early in the morning and drove down to Zhuhai. After having lunch, we went down to Macau where we waited for our flight back to KK.

The famous statue in Zhuhai.

But our flight got delayed. The airport was too small to explore. We were tired and bored. So, we SS at the airport to kill time and finish the camera battery. Hehe!

Daddy joined in. Like father like son.

Then we got dad and mom to join in. Hehe. Dad was holding the camera. We were getting stares from everywhere. Who cares? Hehe

*SMILES*

Arrived home at midnight. We were all tired. But it was a good trip. =)
