Monitor!

Who wants to be a monitor?

Frankly, i think nobody will volunteer themselves to be a monitor, right? Am i that lucky to be nominated or the other way round.. haha nobody knows.. Nearly 3 weeks being a monitor, the most challenging task was to prepare the wrap-up speech. Believe it or not, my mind suddenly becomes blank! No ideas! What am i going to say!!

It's getting worst, when Shawn wants to read the speech around 10pm. I did not even start yet, not even a single word. Two more hours left.. idea! idea! idea! where are you!! hahaha..

To make it short, at last I managed to complete the speech even it's very short and simple but i hope the other delegates satisfied and so sorry if i missed some of the important points.

A long walk to Hangzhou's West Lake

Today we had the afternoon all to ourselves so we all decided to walk to the very famous West Lake...on foot!! Took us about 30min to reach the place, and another hour or more to complete the circle (almost!) around the lake, taking pictures every 5min in each spot.
I love the following pictures, because I took them spontaneously (except for the cheeky Sarina) without them realizing that each one of them is posing in a Dunhill style hehe.....NICE!!!

4 stooges in action (above)


and more stooges in their own style!! (above)
L-R Tun Tun, Min Min, Sarina, Shawn, Thuy, Trang
Just look at each one of them posing in style. Very precious!!

Xitang Ancient Town

All the way from Shanghai city, we went to Xitang as our next destination. Xitang is an ancient town with most of the house are made from stone. While we walk along the corridors, we were hypnotize by the movements and the musics from the chinese opera. Eventhough we don't understand but at least we enjoy the performance.



Along the corridors, there is a lot of small shops selling different kinds of things such as shoes, dolls, jade, foods and a lot more.



One thing that surprising me, some of the people there use birds to catch fish for them. They will tied the birds along the side of the boat, once the bird catch the fish, the fisherman will take away the fish from the bird. Anyway, the tour guide, wen wen told me. Not sure if it's true or not.
