Beijing - 4th day. Last Day

Finally, it's my final day here. 4th day of Beijing vacation! Felt a bit sad but excited to go back at the same time. How I miss Malaysia! (ek eleh..baru 4 hari haha). We've done with packing a night before and it's time to say bye bye to this lousy hotel. I mean, the room is okay, only the staffs and coffee house sucks big time! I left some of my instant noodle there. Buat berat je bawa balik. Just some treats to housekeeper as she needs to clean our dirty room later. haha.

Wajiblah all those chocolates dah habis. I distributed them with my room mates. Beeb and Mas, I know you guys love me because of this kan?! haha. I only left about 5 packets of Maggi as a token of appreciation to housekeeper. haha. 

Messy bed. And that was after the attempt to pull up the blanket to make it appear more decent 

Our room. Bye now


Yeah, our bags gave birth to few more bags. 


The hotel reception. Not so hospitable though. I witnessed a customer made a complaint by shouting to the hotel staffs. Instead of calm her down, the hotel staff shouted back to the customer!





First destination for today was to a Diamond Shop. Forgot what it called. Because we're not interested enough to buy anything here. They're expensive and we have no money left (of course, it's day 4 already!). The shop owner is someone from Penang, Malaysia. He said he would gave us a great discount yada yada. I bet he said the same thing to everyone else too. But anyway, we had fun trying out all different diamonds, sapphire and stuffs. Girls will always be girls right? Too bad, we were not allowed to take any pictures here :/ 

This ship made from jade!
This is before we were told not to take any pictures
Fresh tofu and bean sprout outside the shop. My mother would be delighted to see this! haha
After that, we went to the famous Bird Nest Stadium! I guess, no need for introduction on this. It was built for the 2008 Olympics. Too bad, we visited here in the morning and the it's quite foggy there. So, again, the pictures turn out quite blur. I mean, our faces were clear but the stadium was covered by the fog because it's quite far from where we were :/ I love the weather here. It's cold and breezy (that explains why I wear my glove. Bukan bajet k-pop tau! haha).

Bersihnya

Feeling cool

Ahh..Mak Jemah tak sangka sampai sini uolls



The best I could came out with..



Looks like I'm doing a video clip? 




We had some snacks afterwards..

Look how big the fruit is?!!
This is the best rock melon I've ever tasted! Sedap nyaaaa! It's crispy, it's sweet it's juicy it's..just yumms. Dah lah besar! Oh by the way, he's a Muslim. Whenever Muslim sellers saw us, they would greet us with Assalammualaikum and called us 'Aisyah'. Comel kan?

Then we were brought to Wangfujing Road. This place is also being called as 'Beijing Bintang Walk' because maybe it looks like Bintang Walk? That explains? haaha. We were given about 4 hours here. Since our money has dropped to almost zero, we just walked around and taking pictures to kill time. Plus, all the items here we could get in Malaysia. However, I'd like to highlight on Forever 21 here. It's 3 stories, and it's way cheaper than Malaysia! I mean, the t-shirts in F21 Malaysia would cost us about RM60+ right? Same as here, they're cost about 60 yuen. But, if divide to our currency, the prices would be half from ours. Thus, they would cost you about RM30+ jeeeee! Crazzzzzyyyyyyyy. If we came here on the first day, for sure I would spend like insane. Mind you, if F21's price already like that, I just didn't have the nerve to enter Zara, MNG and stuffs because it would make me scream in those stores to see how cheap they are. Hahaha.


3 tingkat pastu lagi murah. hmmph.

Oh yes, my friends and I love to drink minutes maid here. It was because they're tasted sweeter and has lots of pulpy. Yumms.

What's your flava?







Dear Future Husband, I want!! 










Lunch time! Our last lunch here. I kinda like this restaurant. It's like Italy-kind-of concept. But at the outside part lah. Inside looks like school canteen je..heeeee







After lunch, as usual, we went to perform our prayer at Nan Dou Ya Mosque. Another mosque in the middle of a city.





See the chairs and tables? Remember about my post on learning at the mosque?
The time shows here isn't to indicate a prayer time but time when the Jemaah starts. 





Later, we went to another market here. Yashon Clothing Market. I guess, this is the cheapest place among all the places we went. I think the tour guide purposely doing this. Yelah, because if we spend at the mall, he didn't get any commission here. But too bad, I didn't have enough money left. So, I just walked around dengan sakit hatinya. haha. While waiting for other friends to finish their shopping, Beeb and I sat outside while eating mango our ice-cream for the last time :'( It's quite pricey here, costed me about 5 yuen whereas at the Halal Market it's only 2 yuen. It's quite fun actually to sit outside while chatting with friends because I think it was the time to bond our friendship tighter. Yelah, I seldomly met my schoolmates, so I think this trip really make us bond together :') Plus, with the new friends, it was the perfect time for me to know them better. Well, despite cuci mata with all those handsome mat salleh outside. Hahaha.

Spot my favourite ice-cream!








Cancer sticks


Minah Salleh with their bicycles. Gigihnya nak cycling dekat Beijing

Alin was the biggest spender yet she save the most among us. She only shopped on our last day. Lucky you. Envy you! 

Then, after we were done with our last shopping, it's time for our last place to visit. Beijing Hard Rock Cafe. Yay! But Nay! for the purse. Hahaha. Wanted to grab some merchandises here, but because I have no money left, I just swallowing my saliva while look at them with tears in my eyes T_T Think positively, they are all made in China anyway. Oh my, why we always be skeptical about "Made in China"? haha.


The panda is so cute!!

Cuter me. HAHAHAH








One more interesting thing, in Beijing, we always see this Red Bull advertisement that uses Lin Dan as a model. So, I always wanted to take a picture of it. However, this advertisement board usually placed at the bus stop and apa kerja pulak kan tiba2 nak stop dekat situ ambil gambar. Coincidently, maybe it's our (Beeb and I to be precised) rezeki that night, there was a nearby bus stop at Hard Rock Cafe. So, Beeb and I took our opportunity to snap a picture there. It's a good feeling as when the locals there saw us taking picture with 'Lin Dan' they showed a thumb up sign. As we mentioned we're from Malaysia and said 'Lee Chong Wei', they nodded to acknowledge and again a thumb up! Hahaha.






So, now it's time for our last destination, last restaurant, last dinner in Beijing. Mentang2 last day, everything I put 'last' to emphasis more. haha. I really love our last restaurant. Maybe because it was our last dinner (last lagi), so the food quite a lot. It's good too. Alhamdulillah, so far when I was in Beijing, I never encountered any food problem. All were good. I ate quite a lot there! My friend said this restaurant quite famous among Malaysians as she read about it before. Malaysians who came here would paste RM1 notes and a business card on the wall. Well, of course yours truly wanted to put one too! Sampai ke Beijing I brought my business card. Well, in case..hahaha.



Cili kering pun dijadikan lauk..



RM1 notes

Business cards
Yeah! I was there!

Dork face

Now...it is the moment of truth! We're going back to Malaysia. After dinner, our tour guide sent us to Airport. Wasn't really a pleasant journey because it was raining. Well, making me worried a bit to fly in such weather. We bid our goodbye with Ali and he did apologize for everything. Hmmpphh.

Although the story of our itinerary in Beijing is over, but there's also some stories at the airport that I want to share. Maybe in the next post as I don't want this entry to be so long. Till then..daa.
