Riot in Xinjiang


After carefully read the news reports in The Star about the deadly riot in Xinjiang, (sorry, I never have a chance yet to read the newspaper carefully), I am so horrified to believe the fact that the sweet, harmony and wonderful place that I just leave for about 3 weeks ago after staying there for 4 months has turned into a warzone-alike horror situation which is too hard for me to even imagine about.



Families and friends have been giving me message on my Facebook wall, smses etc to tell how glad they are that I've come back a little earlier due to the occurence of the riot. It still brings a great deal of shock to me that within 2 weeks after I have left Xinjiang, on the spur of the moment, such horrible incident would happen.

I'm not in any stand to judge or even say anything about this riot. The only thing I can defend about the place is that I have a really wonderful time there and I truly enjoyed every moment. The people is lovely, the scene is splendid, the memories are just so unforgetable. The conflicts between the minorities are unavoidable, which is the same to all the places with multiple religion and ethnic groups in this world. We just need a peaceful solution to prevent it to become even worse.

Lastly...



Zhang lao shi and Ma lao shi, can you please reply my sms? I've been worried about you guys!!

.:I pray for world peace:.

Danok One Day 'Decent' Trip

Image
Since there is a request on writing this post (and I'm freaking damn honored!), so here it goes... On Friday, Wesak Day, we (me, CK, Voon and BeeYing) went to Danok for a day trip. It was initially a plan to have the cheap steamboat after I had one on January, but, you know, delays and delays happen. Until one day, we had enough and decided this is it!! Since CK has been there few times at night, I have been there once at night, the other two never been there, and they can NONE about description or recommendation of day trip in Danok online, we decided we gonna give it a try (a day-trip try). Departed from Kangar after breakfast around 9.30AM, reaching Bukit Kayu Hitam about an hour later and traffic jam!!! It took us around one hour (!!) for a journey of 200 m to reach and cross the Malaysian border checkpoint. SO many people were going 'overseas' on the 3-days long weekend plus school holiday. Parked the car at the Duty Free mall and walked for about 200 m to cr

黄山，安徽省黄山市 WARNING: Damn long post! Initially, I was thinking about writing the whole events of my East China trips, not as detailed but just as slightly explained as I could, but I don't think I can. Hehe. So, I'll just write about my most satisfied trip, and leave the rest for the pictures I've uploaded in Facebook to tell the tale. This would be one of my best trips ever in my whole life. The fact is that, my confession to most of friends and family who don't know yet , it is my first solo backpack trip! v(^.^)v It has been a long and 'secret' planning, that I have said a lot of white lies to make it come true. I'm sorry to those I've lied, I have a sin. A big one =( Solo backpack in a foreign country is hassle free if you make detailed yet adjustable planning, where you can either follow what you have planned or making some adjustment according to the situation later in your trip accordingly. A planning is crucial especially if you are the kind of by-
