Big Screen, Lan Club & Wild Life.

.
one of the reason why i shut the blog was,
i had too many pictures,
i don't know how to compose,
i was am lazy to update,
i SUPER lazy to do anything.

but it back fired
there was a sudden interest about ME. suddenly.

and i thought it was a trend to close blogs recently!
damnit!

anyhow,

31th Dec 2007 (Monday)

after a relaxing breakfast,
we made bookings from the hotel for private tour tomorrow,
to the great wall of china.

we then headed down to The Place Mall,
the moment we decided to come beijing,
i wanted to visit some places,
and this shopping mall is one of them.

not to buy stuff but to see the HUGE ass tv screen,
TAPI...
the screen will only BUKA at night, after 6. CELAKA!

so only manage to see this unknown celeb doing rehearsal for the countdown party.



we then went to LAN Club for an early lunch instead,
it takes up the entire 4th floor of the LG Towers,
designed by Philippe Starck.
adrienz... i think you would love this place



there's so many different settings,
mainly fine mis-matched taste.
they offer private party. (sure mahai gila)

even the tandas is damn glamour!
there's a chair to sit, incase you got tired of peeing.


the bill was without a doubt, hefty. RMB280 for a simple meal.
the waitress at first thought we were big spenders... mana tau big camwhorers

we also saw frozen trees outside LG Towers.



so we loiter around silk street road,
lots of cheap fake stuffs here,
too crowded.
way crowded.

one of chee's main agenda was to visit the Green Tea House
so decided to call xiaolu. a beijing friend of mine. to meet up for a tea there.

but was CLOSED.
fuck.
they only open on certain hours.
lunch and dinner.

went to the next door for tea. catch up.
xiaolu then invited us to a private new years eve dinner party.

we took a cab,
went to the 4th ring district to meet up with her bf.
*there's about 6 rings in beijing, forbidden city, the offices, the houses, the i lupa...*
he drives a fancy range rover!
then together with the other cars, we continued.

20 minutes later. we arrived a really cool,
not to mention COLD estate.
it was a private horse range.
and the party was organized by some 798 artists.
*a famous soho district for artists*



it was so rustic. the feeling was like, simply unreal.
did i mention COLD

roasted lamb was in the making at a small room.
then later brought into the main hall.
*you have to heat the food as they get cold easily*
we had so much countryside home cooked food.
DELICIOUS!
i eventually just STOOD there to eat.



felt thirsty, hunt for drink,
i mistook this green looking pallet as water.

xiaolu: daniel, you are very brave!
me:... erm... sorry does it belong to some gangster???
xiaolu: haha. no, but that's chinese alcohol! very strong!
me: oh just like SOJU! in a normal packaging!!! COOLs!
strange uncle: KAMPAI!
me: YA! KAMPAI... *coughs, chokes*



the taste was indeed STRONG.
*hicups*

a large bond fire was in the middle of the estate.
where we gathered and fireworks was constantly fired.
we then went to see the horses.



damn COLD. but COOL.

after the dinner party which ended around 2200,
we went to madam suzie wong's club.
rather fancy but we had to pay, and to stand somemore.

so i didn't want and we went to china doll club instead.
the crowd was... dead.



but that's ok.
we wanted to chill and drink,
and chat,
and cuci mata.
*and i got the first drink for free*



right after the countdown,
*HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!*
we went out, wanted to go home de,
xiaolu then changed her mind brought us for tim sum.
YAYS!

and i saw satay on the roadside. LOLs.



didn't bother taking tim sum,
cuz the cabbie over shot the street,
complicated to do a u-turn.
so actually no tim sum to snap.
we went to another shop for supper.

on our way home,
another cabbie made me sing chinese song to entertain him.
i had to SING.
he was like so... GANAS.
that time was 0300,
and private tour starts at 0900,
so little daniel sang him stephanie sun,
then he was soooo funny.
HAHA!

it was such an amazing day, to end the year and to start a new year!
