Inner Mongolia! :D


Feeling blissful to have a long weekends off. It is like.. a valid reason for me to have a holiday. No, not complaining :) Am satisfied with my job and loving the challenges. Everyday, new challenge. Challenging my patience, my EQ, the way i handle things, making decisions, etc.

Phew, uploaded a lots of photos from Inner Mongolia. Headed there for almost a week.
Honestly, Malaysia foods are the best, varieties wise!


Flight was 6 hours, waited @ airport for transit and such, it took us about a day to reach Inner Mongolia. Hence the excited face of us all when we have arrived @ Hohhot.


Lunch first of course! HLA was very thoughtful. HLA gave us an angpao for our breakfast while we were waiting @ airport for transit. So considerate :D

Well, cannot really remember the sequence of which day went to the desert, which day on shopping or which day for horses. So.. I'll start with the desert first!

We stayed @ Baotou for two nights, then to Hohhot for two nights.

Next morning, went over to the desert. Hell yeah!
Have you been to desert? I HAVE! :D


 This cable car is total excitement.



This trip was amazing because we have generous photographer!
                                               

Heading to watch the performance on their traditions.


The view was unbelievable. This desert is with the 3rd finest sand in the world. Trust me, it is nothing like the sand in Redang nor other beaches.


I was anticipating for this long time! Riding camel!
First time riding on a camel and looking at a camel's eyes at such a near distance! 


Happiest was, i found my long lost brother!
Great shot! Thanks to Andrew :D


The sand, the view. We ride camel for quite a distance and i totally enjoyed it.

Some jump shot yo.


It seems like Ennis's attraction power is quite unique ain't? :D



This is a game totally worth mention. I have never been this trilled before.
Sliding sands from height of up to 5 to 6 floors! Guess what! No safety net nor strings attached! 
And using what as brake? Your hand! SHO FUN!



Then, we headed to muzeum! Was sho tiring already :/



With the white horse. Only the three of them.



And it started to rain when we were on our way back to the bus. Guess what! We took OTS banner as our umbrella :D FUN FUN FUN!


Then, it was lunch time. We were joking about KC of her "look sha" experience.




The sun was bright, but the weather is like in Genting. Aweeeeesome!

We headed to Muzeum again :D
Remember we have used OTS banner as umbrella? Now, we need to make it dry man! Hahaha.


Inner Mongolia ice cream tasted totally different from Malaysia's :D



Qualifiers from Ernest Unit!

 With Ron.
With Miki.
 With our local tour guide.


My first convention qualifier agent :D

Outside while waiting for Inner Mongolia qualifiers group photos.

 With Loh Guat Lan :D


Have totally underestimated the things to shop there! Souvenirs time @ Meng Liang!



\


 With Emmerline, our tour guide too!


Interesting was also this horse riding experience.
It is consider as luxury sport in Malaysia, not many people get to ride a horse for an hour without paying a sum. In Inner Mongolia, we ride the horse for an hour. The horses were not only walking! but also crossing the river and running quite a bit. Wonderful experience!


It's time for my ballerina dream :) awww. Finally!

 With Andrew. Thanks to his camera for awesome photos!


 With Cheryl, also from Damansara Perdana Centre :D


Went for local lunch @ Hohhot.
And the locals welcomed us with their liquor and the blue scarf thingy :)










Last day dinner @ Inner Mongolia was awesome!
We had Xiao Fei Yang steamboat. The lamb was good totally.


 With our GM.

Night time, finally we get to go to somewhere out of hotel @ Hohhot. Baotou was boring :/

 24hours McD!

This was Gala Dinner. We have Gala Dinner @ every trip :D
                                             

                            













Lastly, it was time to be back to Malaysia and start working again! Reality check!
Another 6 hours of flight, and 4hours of waiting for transit. Phew..








My initial thought was how fun Inner Mongolia can be? But the truth is, VERY FUN!
I am a girl who grow up in a city. Animals to me? I see dogs and cats most of the time. Horses and camels? Yes! In the TV programme. Shame on me. But this trip have gave me a total new experience. Went to desert and a big big green land with lots of camels and hundreds or thousands of horses!

Most importantly is, even if i have money, i wouldn't spend on going to desert or green land. So thumbs up for going to FREE TRIPS! 

Lovin' it! :D
Shall start eyeing on Hawaii trip next year!
