It's officially the start of the September holiday and today is the second cycling trip with Shunann~

Today we cycled further and discovered more areas of East Coast Park! While cycling, we stopped a few times to take some photos. Here is Shunann with a giant sandcastle.

Towards the end of the route, we stopped to take a jump shot each. 

Shunann jumps really high.

While cycling back, we cycled pass a boat area. I think that we should go sailing one day. 

Meanwhile, snapped a photo of Shunann and his bike.

Lastly, we ate at Burger King. It was delicious, especially the bacon and the barbecue sauce inside. 

Today will be the last day of our Bei Jing Trip before I return back to Singapore and back to school. It's strange how only the last day is warm and humid. 

I took some pictures of buildings while trotting the street. 

Look at how hazy it is.

Anyway, while we walked, we pass by a local bakery; which we end up buying from later! 

Afterwards, we also went to buy milktea! 

Inside the cafe, it was decorated with pretty post it notes on the wall! A very fun decoration. 

Our drinks came and I shared milk tea with Ju!

For lunch! We ate our last meal as a tour group and some of them headed off to the airport afterwards. 

As for us, we loitered around the lobby while my mom chatted with her friend who gave us this cake from Paris Baguette for my dad's birthday. I tasted nice. 

Finally it was dinner, which was also the best meal yet of the entire trip since we ate as a family and mom ordered food that we love! First, it was pancake. 

Next, was the peking duck that was amazing! They had 3 ways of eating it which would be either the meat only, the skin only or both. Their peking duck was also slightly different with additional vegetables and sweet sauce. 

Pumpkin croquette, I love this. 

Vegetable dumplings

And finally, meat bun. I was quite full and we headed for the airport.

Our flight is a midnight flight so, we actually arrived quite early. 

While browsing the shops, this guy look interesting.

And because we arrived so early; we went to eat Haagen Dazs ice cream. I tried tiramisu, not my favourite flavour though.

But apparently, our flight delayed, by quite a bit. Me and Ju went to the playground while waiting. And my eyes were already closing!

People fast asleep. 

Finally, we got to go in. 

Look at them walking fast ahead. 

Before entering the plane, we went given sandwiches. A pity I was too full to eat it. 

There was a packet of peanut too. I fell asleep almost immediately after getting seated and was pretty much undisturbed all the way till breakfast time.

I love my breakfast! They tasted really good. 

While approaching Singapore.

I have to say, the service on this flight was the best yet, the crew was very helpful and thoughtful, they even came around refilling our drinks! 

We arrived at Singapore ad I was late for class. Nevertheless, I still went to class, looking quite horrid. It was a great trip and I had loads of fun. More photos can be seen on here.

We tried drip coffee for the first time and it was quite unique I guess, in terms of presentation. It tasted similar to normal coffee to me though. 

I ordered pancake the moment I saw it and it tasted really good. I tasted meat, seafood and onions inside.

Shunann ordered hotpot with seafood and beef. The soup tasted like tom yam without the spiciness. It's delicious and we finish almost all of the soup. 

Lastly, our footprints~

I was actually looking forward to today since we will be going to the Capital Museum so I thought that I could maybe see some cool stuff. 

When I entered the building, I was amazed as I love how they made the interior, the walls are literally slanted to one side that it feels as if you are walking down a giant slide since we started exploring from top down. 

After entering, I took some photos inside, which showcases mainly jades, paintings and artefacts. 

Here is a Koi jade sculpture, I like the colours on it. 

On another level, we saw Iron daggers which were really cool since it shows the type of weapons people used in the past. 

There were many Urns displayed inside too, though I'm not sure what is the purpose of it. 

Going to another level, it showcases paintings and calligraphy. 

We were not given much time inside the museum since we are on a tour package but overall, it was an enjoyable experience since I got to see some interesting things despite not really understanding it. 

Heading out, this is the exterior of the building.

And the "Dragon building", they are iconic buildings in Bei Jing due to the unique form.  

During dinner, we celebrated my dad's birthday that was kept as a surprise to him; until my sis spilled the beans. Anyway, Josiah decided to take a photo with them too. 

The cake that came was a really huge fruit cake that is probably 30cm. 

Lastly, I hope that this would be one of the most memorable birthday for my dad since he's birthday song was sung in seven different languages.
