2nd April 08 we departed to Xiamen, China. Tis time round 16person including me gg. WOW sound a big group isnt it. When we reached airport as usual we were late for 45mins haha meeting time is 6.30am in the end we reached there at around 7.10am. So no time for breakfast we all headed for check in, so big group so take nearly 30mins to check all lagguages in. After checking in we went for breakfast then to DFS to buy perfume. Got myself a Paul Smith Rose perfume and hubby a estee pleassure men. Reaching xiamen at 11am+, they bluff me said that the weather is cool ard 20+ :( the temperature is 16degree when we reached there). We went to the village straight from airport. Miss the cabbage and Mee Suan with eggs.. haha... me and dear distribute the pressies we gt for them, then stay around there till 8pm+ then went to hotel. Yippy.... staying at a brand new hotel nt last the one we stayed last yr. Tis hotel looks nice and clean. After bath and unpacked, we went to KTV. Dear they all played a dice game but i see liao still abit blur as usual cos i'm sotong ma. Luckily i din played cos whoever lost must drink. Played till 2.30am. Elton and his wife said hungry wanted to eat something so the 4s of us went to look for food. We came to a roadside stall. We ordered mee suan and you tiao. At 1st said late liao jus order 4 you tiao will do. Who knows we add and add in the end we ate 25pcs of you tiao and we promise the boss we'll bring more pple to try the you tiao on the next day.. haha
2nd day worse like about 13degree cos it's raining. We woke up at 4.45am cos we need to reach the village by 6am to pray "Tian Gong". Everyone look so sleepy ^_^ They slaught a pig for praying. After praying, ate sweet potatoes porridge. As usual nothing to do walk around and chit chatting. But good that tis time round i got Pei pei and Chris to chat and go around taking photos :) Oh ya, we r invitating the whole village to our house for lunch at 1pm. But time passed so slow it was onli 10am when we all seemed like done alot things liao lor. Finally is lunch time, wow really is whole village pple coming. So "re niao" ha.. FIL said ok la today shall go back early for shopping time. GOOD!! everybody agreed. But to our dissapointment, the streets look like alot things to shop we bought nothing back. Dear bought a few tshirts, me nothing. Need to be back to hotel by 5.30pm to go back to the village cos tonite there's a stage show. "Da xi" which we seldom see in singapore le. We sat on the cold bench without any backrest for 3hrs to view the show. It's cold and tiring. But after all the show is nice and interesting :) Headed back to hotel ard 10pm then we went to the "you tiao" stall, haha we really brought our "army" there. The boss so happy and busy helping us to arrange the tables and chairs.

To pray great great grandfather and great grandfather. WOw tis is really fun, we r like hiking. Climbing all the way up the hill with slopes and wet grounds. U can heard screaming everywhere esp from Pei Pei haha. She onli 18yrs old a sweet and cute gal.
We used 30mins to climb up 45mins to go down. We thought we r done. But that tomb belongs to great great grandfather. We need to go another one great grandfather wow more steep lor. When we finally done, was like finish climbing 2 mountains. Haha
Then we were back to the village for our breakfast, then after breakfast bid farewell to them. Kind of sad hmmm.. we r headed to "Quan Zhou" another place in xiamen. Luckily in the whole journey i dun need any toilet if nt die liao, the toilets no door no flush and dirty lor.
