To my listeners/readers in JB,

HELLO!

I’m crossing over to your side this weekend! Hahahha.

Local group BY2 will have their autograph session at Persada Johor International Convention Centre at 2pm this Sunday.

This is my first time hosting a show in JB. See ya there! =D

This is the final blog entry of the Cruz at Beijing series.

It was the last evening before the main group left. (I stayed on for two more nights.) We had so much fun getting to know one another in a week, and we ended the trip with a really big bang.

I led my new friends to the night market at Wangfujing… and unwittingly morphed into a reality show host wannabe…

The two guys in the first video are my schoolmates. More than one person commented the one with glasses resembles Jaycee Chan. You think so? He’s also from Hong Kong, by the way.

And I don’t know how we managed to gather a crowd for the second video. The Isreali guys and the Chongqing girls just stood around and stared. I wanted to try the deep fried stuff, but these strangers ate everything! Hah!

My temperature is still normal. I don’t have a runny nose. But I have a cough.

I think it started towards the end of the Beijing trip… While I’m generally all right most of the day, the cough is rather bad in the pre dawn hours. In fact, I sort of hacked myself out of slumberland these two mornings.

I probably need more sleep. And some bird nest.

We set off on a Friday evening, eagerly anticipating a durian feast.

Unfortunately, we arrived too late.

… And the King never fails to chalk up dramatic moments, even when he is in a land far far away…

This is the second time I’d resorted to buying a suitcase overseas. I went to Taipei a few years ago, thinking I had enough self discipline. I had to get a larger case four hours later, as a result of my shopping frenzy.

Argh.
