Now..back with the postings. Last Wednesday, 06/07/2007, had a fire drill at the factory. We all went to gather at the main entrance of the factory and watch the security guards perform putting out a fire in the shortest possible time (was kinda funny though). haha, and I also got my first salary (allowance) on Thursday, 07/07/2007.

Went for a 2D/1N trip to Zhe Jiang (4-hour Bus ride) during the weekends. First stop is "Shuang Xi Piao Liu". It's a ride whereby around 10 people go on board a raft made up of bamboos, sitting on bamboo benches (no handles nor side railings, very traditional) and will be rowed by a person going through a river. During the journey, we started splashing water at each other on board and even started splashing water at other people on other rafts too. It was somewhat like a water-wars as people are splashing water from rafts to rafts using 'weapons' ranging from bare hands to water guns. In the end, everyone of us on board were totally drenched. I have to change into my short pants after that.
*Sorry I got no pictures for this because all of us kept our electronic devices in plastic bags to prevent water-contact.

Next up, we visited a valley. There are lots of sight-seeing and walking. Shall let the pictures do the talking =D. Headed to the hotel at Ling An City at around 1930. Didn't do much in the night, had our dinner, some water-melons, played few games of Dai Dee, watched TV then sleep already. Man, I saw the Mediacorp series 'The Love Concierge " there and it's being dubbed into China voices. It kinda sucked..hm..don't know why they don't want to use the original voices, it sounds much better.

Gathered and ate breakfast next day, 10/06/2007. This time, we are going to mountain top, not a valley. On the way up the mountain, there is an attraction whereby you will be inside a inflated ball floating on water and you can anyhow jump and run provided if you kept your balance. I played and I accidently kicked my own noes with my knee cap because the rebounce is kind of big. I'm so tired and sweaty after that. Being in the tour group, our own group of 10 are always the last behind, haha, so we got seperated kinda easily.

And so, we went on our own after we lost track of the other tour members but we are to gather back at 1130 at entrance then after. We went to scale a mountain again (everyday is exercise man, haha), this time, there is a sign asking if we got enough water, food and stuffs as it will be a very long way up. We proceeded..It takes alot of stamina and determination to get to the peak as we are walking up stairs all the way. It took us around 45 minutes to get to almost peak only. Well, our hard work paid off as the view on top is astonishing, and when you shout, you can even hear your own echoes!! Everything is just so natural!

Headed back to Wuxi (5-hour bus ride) and went to KTV again! but haiz..didn't sing well =( but well, still had fun.
