Rainbow Terminal

Something new and unique and China. I think, this is worth checking out when going there.

SHANGHAI has opened a new terminal at its domestic airport as China's second-largest city geared up to welcome tens of millions of visitors to the Expo 2010.

The government has spent $2.2 billion on the makeover of Hongqiao Airport, 35 minutes west of the city centre, and made it part of an ultramodern travel hub linking metro and high-speed rail.

"An airport with the size of a world-class hub has taken shape, which will provide a high-quality aviation service for the World Expo," an airport authority statement said.

The first flight from Hongqiao's new terminal - four times bigger than the cramped old facility - took off early Tuesday for Beijing.

Pudong Airport is Shanghai's main airport for international flights while Hongqiao is used mainly by domestic airlines.

Officials expect the vast majority of the Expo's 70-100 million visitors to come from within China.

As of now, I just dream - but hopefully, we can go to the Great Wall of China. Mcj needs to loose weight first. I wonder if he will consent to usingherbal diet supplements so we can have a hike.

Up Side Down


How would you like to live in an upside down house? Well, I’m sure nobody would except for novelty reason and only if gravity resides in the atmosphere. It would be absolutely chaotic, I believe. Keeping a normal house tidy is a feat in itself, how more labourious it is for an un-conventional dwelling.

Anyway, I’m sure nobody will take the offer as it is impossible to live in that way. The said house is just an exhibit in the Getorff, Germany.

Built inside the grounds of a zoo in Getorff, Germany, the house has an upside-down kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom.

The 23ft-tall (seven metres) home was built by carpenter Gerhard Mordhorst and his colleagues Gesellse Splettstober and Manfred Kolax.

They described the project as one of the “craziest” they’ve ever been asked to do.

Steel plates and screws were used to hold the furniture in place.

Putting the bathroom together was the trickiest part due to bulky items such as the shower.

This house will be open for public viewing so if you're in Germany, brace your personal budget software and treat everyone you know to see this unique art.

JakPak

I fancy going camping but have never tried it yet. Mcj has all sorts of stuff for camping. He even used to joint-own a camper trailer but we haven’t gotten around of actually doing it. Why? First, we seem can’t make time for it. Yeah, it’s better to drive more than a 1000 kms one way than go camping. For me, it’s just not worth all the hassles of packing, unpacking and being away from comforts. I know sooner or later we have to do it for the Little Guy.

Anyway, when I think that getting into the sleeping bag inside a small tent is un-imaginable, how am I able to cope and endure being inside the JakPak?

I suppose if I eat and breathe the outdoor life, I can tolerate it or I can even say that it’s a great invention. Light travelling is always fun if you’re hiking a hundreds of kilometers to have fun (not just experimenting diets that work).

Sense and Sensibility


I saw this movie for the first time yesterday afternoon. Although, there were interruptions and I had to pause it every now and then (that’s what happened when you have a toddler wanting your attention most of the times), I enjoyed it. I knew what to expect in the movie – nothing much happenings that it borders to boring - so I wasn’t high on expectation and I didn’t get flopped with what I actually saw.

I’m not really good in giving reviews so I wouldn’t attempt it. What do I really want to do is get immersed in the era (1800’s) in the movie. Not because I have a royal blood – I am sure it would be difficult for me to survive. But because of the costumes of the female that is. Oh, don’t mention the male breeches – makes me realised where the jockey breeches came from.


The costumes were described as plain but for me they’re pretty. Imagine yourself running in the paddocks with sequined and beaded clothes. I’m sure it will just be an inconvenience. Well, I’m always for the plain and simple anyway. One more thing, they would hide those unwanted curves while waiting for ephedra weight loss products
to kick in.

The Bounty Hunter

Since I've become a Jen Aniston fan, I check her profile every once in a while in People.com. I also check out some of her videos - it's a shame I can only find 1 decent video of her and Bradd - I like them together.

The Bounty Hunter is Jen's latest movie release with Gerard Buttler.


I first saw Buttler in P.S. I love you. I like him there.. real Scot or Irish? I have to learn more about him as well as learn more about weight loss pills. They're not just for those who want to shed unwanted pounds, you know. It's for everyone's awareness, I reckon.
