Touching down at Panda Po's Hometown

MooMoo just reached Panda Po's hometown-CHENGDU. Damn tiring after 4 hours plus flight.

MooMoo stayed at Mix Hostel. The guy who came to pick MooMoo and friend from airport was not very friendly .

MooMoo went to the market to buy some breakfast. Check out the breakfast... They are very creative. The cup in the picture is porridge and not bubble tea...and you have to drink it with straw. Haha!

The hostel provided us a free welcome drink. ^=^



After breakfast, MooMoo and friend decided to go bath and nap before starting the next journey.


* Good news... Tibet permit approved.... Yeah!!!

Art of Packing ^=^

MooMoo still need to learn a lot on the 'Art of Packing' and must master how to pack light to go travel. This is the 1st time MooMoo is so very stressed in packing as everything is just so uncertain.  She will be flying in 24 hours time and her travel permit is still not approved.  *sweat*

MooMoo just gotta pack accordingly, in order to suit Plan A trip and backup Plan B trip.  The weather would be pretty much different for Plan A and Plan B.  Anyway, still have to pack the cold clothings, just in case.  MooMoo is damn kiasu and kiasi... maybe she over-packed her stuff.

MooMoo have learnt from the 'Queen of Ziplock Bags' a.k.a. Ms. Mo to compressed all her stuff in the ziplock bags to stuff everything in her backpack.  Ms. Mo's purpose is to keep everything out of contamination but MooMoo's purpose is to stuff everything into the backpack.  LOL!

The wonders of ziplock bags.  MooMoo managed to squeeze 2 long pants and 1 pair of jeans in here.  MooMoo sat on the pants to compress the clothes and to squeeze out all the air.  Hahaha.

MooMoo still cannot imagine how her friend actually packed everything for 2 weeks into a small backpack.  Anyway, MooMoo decided to bring some T-shirts and underwears that she can discard after wearing them.  Luckily, she haven't throw or donate them away after her spring cleaning the other day.

After packing all the clothes, toiletries and necessities, MooMoo also packed some snacks.  This is for backup in case MooMoo do not like the 'Yak' meals and to recharge along the trekking route.  MooMoo wonder whether she will slim down during this trip.  Haha.  

MooMoo just collected her new pair of hiking boots from her friend today.  MooMoo's friend helped her order online from U.S. as in Singapore, they only have sizes up till size 9.  MooMoo got big feet so need to take size 9.5 for hiking boots.  Luckily, it managed to reach on time before MooMoo fly off.  Expensive boots! It better serve MooMoo well...  =p

OMG!!! After packing, MooMoo realize that it's really a lot and the bags are quite heavy.  Now, she regretted for not going for PUMP classes for so long.  MooMoo really need to bring enough money to pay for the Yaks to carry her bags.  Hahaha!  MooMoo read online that a Yak can carry up to 70kg, so it can still carry MooMoo if she cannot make it.  ^=^

All set... 90% ready... tomorrow night will just do a last minute check and finished up the 10% packing and MooMoo will be ready to start her adventure.

MooMoo will be flying off to Tibet, which is also known as the "roof of the world" tomorrow.  It will be a whole new experience and adventure for MooMoo.  It's going to be a tough trip but she really hope that she can complete the journey safely and enjoy throughout the trip.

Thank God that her 'Aunty Visit' is over and her sickness is slowly recovering.  Pray that everything will be fine when we are there and it will be a safe and enjoyable trip for all! ^=^

* One last STEP class tomorrow morning before she off  from gym at least 3 weeks... she is gonna missed all her favourite classes but definitely, she will still be doing all the workout in Tibet... LOL!

Everything is Sound

Everything is Sound
--- by Jason Mraz


When there is love, I can't wait to talk about it
When things get rough, I like to walk with you
Or when it's night, I like to be the light that's missing
And remind you every minute of the future isn't written
Not yet

When there is love, or when the heart feels heavy
We can lighten it up, if you've had enough
Well you can empty your glass and we can fill it back up
You know it's up to us to make it all up
So what you making up? I can make it up back
You could be loved no matter what
And know the only time is right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from

Singing
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound

Let's sing to be happy, to feel things, to communicate, and be heard
Or sing out to protest, and to project, and to harmonize with birds
Whether it's your birthday or your dying day
It's a celebration too
Rejoice to use your voice and give wings to any of choice
Whatever you're choosing right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from

Set your vibration and undulation to the hightest it can go
And trust me, hear me
If it makes you wanna sing
Just sing it

La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah

It's a song that I've forgotten often
It doesn't make me wrong
Cause we all need the darkness, to see the light
In our own eyes, come on, and sing it

La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah
We're connected now
La la la la
Let's all sing
Hallelujah
Everything is sound
La la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah
We're connected now

Love's Divine

LOVE'S DIVINE

--- by Seal

Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost, all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time through a prayer, to me
And all around me became still

I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes

Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bet (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
Cause love can help me know my name

Well I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me

Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
Cause love can help me know my name

Love can help me know my name.




* MooMoo have always linked the TITLE of the song lyrics to YouTube video but a lot of people didn't realize it.... so MooMoo tried to upload the specific YouTube video instead.... Suddenly makes MooMoo think of sometimes, some things are there all the while and people just didn't realize the existence...
