Day 6, we woke up for breakfast. We stayed at Wanda MOMENTS Beijing Dongba Hotel . The breakfast buffet is in the other wing. It’s quite a long walk. It’s worth it. The buffet spread was impressive. The service was very good too. Sadly, this is the only morning we can have the hotel’s buffet breakfast. This is because we had to check out extremely early on day 7 to get to the airport for the morning flight.

After breakfast, we decided to go for a walk around the area. We bought some fruit from the market.

Then, we headed back to the hotel. We bumped into some of our tour members, so we decided to go to the shopping mall to see what was available for lunch.

For dinner, I met up with my friend from Beijing. We called it a night after dinner.

Day 7, we had to check out early, and the hotel provided us with a packed breakfast. The things given in the bag was kind of anti-climax.

Anyway, all went well and reached home safe and sound.

Feel free to plan your Beijing trip here

That’s the end of day 6 and 7.

HUAWEI RETAINS GLOBAL NO.1 SMARTWATCH BRAND AND LEADS MALAYSIA'S SMARTWATCH MARKET IN H1 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 SEPTEMBER 2026 – Huawei continues to make its mark in the global wearables market, ranking first worldwide in wrist-worn device shipments for the first half of 2026. According to the latest IDC Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker, Huawei secured more than 20% of the global market share*, reinforcing its momentum in the wearables space.

Since 2021, Huawei has consistently ranked first in China’s wrist-worn device market by shipment volume and has secured the top position in the global market multiple times since 2024. The report highlights Huawei’s sustained leadership to its mature product iteration strategy and comprehensive product portfolio. In the first half of 2026, Huawei introduced a series of wrist-worn devices designed to meet the diverse needs of different user groups, receiving strong market response and positive user feedback that further reinforced the company’s leading position. 

Among the standout offerings, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 is designed for serious runners, introducing a first-to-market Marathon mode and a running power metric.

The special edition features an advanced Training Camp Dashboard that provides comprehensive performance metrics, robust data analysis, and seamless fitness data import and export capabilities to help users take their performance further. 

For everyday wellness, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series introduces the Mini-workout feature, offering quick and lightweight exercise routines that help users relieve tightness and stay active during short breaks, making it especially suitable for more sedentary lifestyles. Meanwhile, the HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Spring Edition, positioned as a luxury smartwatch, caters to female users with an advanced health monitoring system that includes comprehensive menstrual cycle tracking and wellness insights tailored to women’s physiology.

Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 4

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 4

Day 5 in Beijing. After breakfast, we checked out of Holiday Inn Express Beijing Tongzhou. Then, we were taken to Beijing Zoo. This was actually an optional activity. Meaning, you need to add it and pay for it on the spot during the tour. The tour guide will be the one collecting the money from you.

We did not want to join any optional activity. The activity includes a shopping mall visit (Chaoyang Hopson One; we visited it on the first day due to heavy rain), an acrobatic show, and Beijing Zoo. Due to unforeseen circumstances- the heavy rain on the first day- we were forced to take this optional add-on. Oh well… Sometimes, you just have to give and take. Just glad that our tour fee was heavily discounted and we had a very small group; it’s OK. We’re here to have fun; no point in arguing and ruining the trip.

Once we reached our new hotel, Wanda MOMENTS Beijing Dongba Hotel , immediately after we checked in, we went straight to the shopping mall, which is connected to the hotel, to get dinner. Initially, we wanted to get KFC, but they only support app ordering. So, we went to McDonald’s instead. After dinner, we called it a night. It’s free and easy the next day but we’re still going to wake up early because we want to enjoy the buffet breakfast.

That’s the end of day 5.

Feel free to plan your Beijing trip here

Stay tuned for day 6. Otherwise, just go to my Instagram account for it hehehe…

Happy Birthday to Me 2026

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy Birthday to Me 2026

It’s another year… How time flies?!? One year older. Happy birthday to me! Nothing major this year. I just hope it will be an uneventful year. Too many things have been happening over the years to the people around me. All I want is for everything to be well with all my loved ones. A simple wish that isn’t that simple when age is catching up. Anyway, life moves on.

Me, myself and I

Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 3

Day 4 in Beijing: It was such a sunny day! We started our journey from the hotel to the Great Wall of China. I never knew there were so many sections of the Great Wall. It’s known to be crowded. I didn’t do much research before the trip, either. I only knew where I’d be visiting, but not the details. That’s the beauty of following a tour hahaha… I’ll have no expectations and let them surprise me. It’s like opening a blind box.

We were all so excited to see there was no crowd at all! We almost had the whole place for ourselves! Who would have dreamed that?!?

Frankly, the Bird Nest was nothing much. I didn’t see a point in coming here. It’s more like checking off a landmark in Beijing for a first-time visit. The trip to Beijing won’t be complete if you don’t come to see it when you’re here. Oh well… Luckily, it was part of the tour. If I were to plan it myself, I’d be kicking myself hard for wasting the time and effort just to be here.

I did a little research on what to eat here since this is where we’re going to have dinner at our own expense. We ended up buying cakes and pastries for dinner in the hotel room. We were not hungry yet because we had lunch late and were well-fed.

That’s the end of day 4.
