Am back in Kunming now.. today is the last day of our tour with the tour guide le, so we'll be having free and easy walk around...
well, over the last 8 days of tour, learnt quite alot of stuff regarding the minority groups in Yunnan... 这里有很多“云南十八怪”：火车不通国内通国外、乳酪片片卖……除此之外，还得知有些少数民族一生只洗三次澡：出生、结婚、去世……真是难以想象。还有，学会了什么叫做“走婚”。那天听见开车的师傅说我们的导游前一晚走婚去了，还懵懵懂懂地不太晓得他在说什么。后来，才听导游微微说起，原来白族每年有一个节日（忘了叫什么），是让已婚的人和自己的旧情人约会，为期三天，而在这三天内，他们去了哪儿、做了什么，都不需要向伴侣交待。真是奇怪的习俗！开车的姜师傅还说，正是因为这样，大理（大理住的大多数是白族）的离婚率才会那么低。还有很多少数民族的风俗习惯都非常奇特，令人听了不禁大吃一惊。
再过两天就回去了，有点舍不得，因为这里的天气很好，风景也很迷人。不过，当然也很想念新加坡，想家、想食物、当然也会想我的宝贝“小叮当”^_^

I'm in Yunnan-Dali now, haha not bad the 5 star hotel got free broadband internet..
Let me recall the places that i visited during the past few days:
Day 1- Sat
reached Kunming airport around 7am, then proceed to Huazhou hotel to rest and before starting our tours at 2pm... the hotel was quite good, as in there are alot of shops and supermarts like Carrefour beside the hotel... so after we checked in and wash up, we went for a walk ard the hotel and have breakfast... food was ok, not especially nice or not nice lol...
in the afternoon, we started our tour by visiting 圆通寺, 之后到翠湖公园。在那里见到很多海鸥，不过看起来和鸽子没什么两样。游完公园，就带我们去参观茶楼 -- 典型的旅游行程之一，带我们到那里，然后一直要我们买东西。过后，我们就享用晚餐，然后就回酒店了。回酒店后，才不到8点钟，我们就自行到处逛逛再回去。
圆通寺
翠湖公园
第二天 -- 昆明-〉宜良
一早享用早点后，就启程到宜良去。路上参观了一家水晶工厂，再吃了著名的宜良烤鸭（没北京烤鸭好吃，但是还挺不错的）。之后，就到九乡去。那里好漂亮啊！是天然的溶洞形成的。我们有乘小船，有步行，也有乘搭空中缆车（类似圣陶沙的sky luge）。这就圆了我想乘搭sky luge 的愿望。
晚上，也是很早就回酒店了。不习惯早睡的我们，决定到ktv去。
第三天 -- 宜良->昆明
早上就出发返回昆明市，先到“七彩云南”，那里有孔雀园、药厂、水晶厂等。午餐享用了著名的过桥米线，虽然没有想象中好吃，但还算不错了。之后，就到“民族村”了解了不同民族的一些习俗及参观他们的房子。晚上回到第一天居住的华州酒店。
七彩云南
民族村
第四天 -- 昆明-〉大理
今天早上9点出发，到达大理就已经是下午3.30了。到了明珠广场，
再到大理古城逛一逛，就已是傍晚时分了。
现在也是刚回到酒店，因为晚饭后我们乘搭酒店的短程巴士到大理古城继续买东西。
明天将会动身到丽江去。不过离开大理前，会先参观天龙八部的拍摄地。现在要去泡浴缸了！

Finally finished all papers!! Went out for lunch with my classmates after paper yesterday... Also went to food fair at Expo with mum last night, but there aren't any special stuff...
Today is a fun filled day! Went JB with classmates for KTV and shopping, then came back for family dinner... Cos my aunt strike 4d so she gave my whole extended family a treat at Owen restaurant at Turf City... The food was great, as there are alot of seafood LOL... The most interesting part is that there is also a ktv in the restaurant VIP room... At first I only helped to choose songs for my uncles and aunties.. Who knows when the song xin yuan yang hu die meng by Huang An is played, they forced me and my cousin to sing it together lol.. Cos last time when we were young, my cousin and I always sing this song together, and our relatives always make fun of us(cos we're only 1 year different in age)... Yup so just now when singing, they also keep saying that we sang this together since young, made us so paiseh haha,..
3 more days to Yunnan!^_^

Went to watch Sing to the Dawn today, quite nice, brings back memories of my sec 1 literature days lol.. though i cant really remember the whole story that i read last time, found some parts familiar and have some impression...
Tried a new Jap restaurant at Vivo with Deary today, as our 15mth-sary celebration.. its like a combination of ajisen ramen, and jap curry, and some special fried sob... think the food is nice ^_^
dunno why, but it seems to me that sec sch days were the most unforgetable ones, and will think of it now and often.. of the frens, the teachers, the environment, the things that happened, both happy and unhappy ones... i think a school is a place where all kinds of people came together.. knowing and interacting each other, let us gain insights on life..
快要考试了，却无法静下心来好好读书。也许是因为我没有什么很伟大的理想、没有要考取第一荣誉学位的目标吧。我只觉得，人生只要尽力而为，就不会枉此一生了！有些人忙忙碌碌，也不知道他们在追求什么，或许他们知道，或许连他们自己也不晓得。我知道，学业/事业并不是全部。亲情、爱情和友情以及健康才是至关重要的。听起来像是在为自己找借口不读书，但我不是。我清楚，也了解，一切都会在我掌控之中。
“祈祷今夜天空星星不熄灭，我心里约定陪你到永远。”
