happy 30th today! :)))

hokkien

i think it’s rather fun to travel around china and when you tell people that you’re from singapore they like to make connections with our forefathers and ask which part of china we came from. and i always say fujian! just because my daddy’s hokkien. hahaha but actually i dont really know.

okay, that was random fact of the day. i just thought it was rather funny cos it seems like in the big picture of things, we’re just all part of china. BUT NO. I REFUSE :)

have you been to a circus?

today was quite a good day! :D very happy. but it started off quite grumpily especially when i found out that i lost one white shirt :( some white ruffled spaghetti that i bought in korea for 5 bucks haha. was being a big grump maybe because my thingaling came as well haha. had our usual hotel bfast again before putting the clothes in the wash. i hate doing laundry i think i can’t run a household haha. then we went out for abit to uniqlo and what else, ate frozen yogurt before coming back to take the clothes out of the dryer. by that time it was like 11 plus already so we decided to eat lunch. the noodles omg damn spicy :( had to drink sooo much tea.

after that we went shopping at this place called shang xia jiu lu. shopping there is so awesome :) the layout reminds me so much of a mega bugis but yet its so similar to phuket/vietnam. the stuff they sell is so korea but the price is so china! :D and all the street food there is soo taiwan. such a great combi right. was so happy i bought denim shorts for like $4+ and belt for $1+ and another pair of swishy shorts for $5+ and a yellow top for $5+ :))) ahh see the smile on my face! even had a cup of good bubble tea hehe. wish i had more time to shop in guangzhou but will be in shenzhen and zhuhai and hk sooon! looking forward to more shopping there. haha.

dinner was damn good as well. jaya’s cousin brought us to this restaurant with nice guangdong food which is actually really quite singapore chinese food too :) and he treated us to dinner. everything was super yummy and we were daaamn full. they even gave us like one whole bag of bananas for i dont know what. so cute! i like her uncle alot he’s such a cute cheerful healthy old man. and her cousin’s funny too like keep bullying the father haha.

after dinner was the circus !!!! :)))) super cool please. have never been to a circus and it feels so nice. i’ve always wondered how it feels like to be part of a circus troupe. like maybe an animal trainer or an acrobat or a circus clown or something. like very fun. the circus was mega entertaining and the animals so cute! esp the bears with their stunts. and there were like indian stuntsment too so bollywood haha. all in all very nice :) i love circuses! wish i could go see more. anyway this circus troupe was supposedly very good like better than the las vegas and macau one :) it was some international troupe and anyway all i saw were angmohsss hehe.

this can’t be any more suitable in describing my entire china trip :)

lychee party!!

today was by far one of the most interesting and enjoyable days i’ve had so far in china. must say that china’s been quite the adventure so far as well :) its all in the little things we experience and witness everyday, the people’s way of life, the little conversations we have with random people. too many stories to tell i won’t know where to begin.

anyhow, we had good hotel buffet breakfast this morning :) then walked around to find citibank to withdraw more moolah! the financial area is really pretty and there’re many big tall buildings! i like alot. then went to ikea and had awesome lunch there! meatballs and tiramisu, smoked salmon and free flow naicha. plus the ikea here super cheap! meatballs were only $2.80!! ikea reminds me so much of singapore hehe :) then jaya’s cousin came to pick us up and drove us to somewhere off shore of guangzhou which is changzhou! and he brought us to tour some university town which is super cool cos like all the unis are concentrated there and they share facilities and stuff, and all the teachers and students stay there too. and we were told like the reason behind this was partly because of all the protests by the uni students, so the government decided to concentrate the uni students all in one area so it was easier to monitor and control? after that her cousin drove us to some famous huangpu military academy. having the car just makes everything better :) anyway its like everyone who ever graduated from that military school all became famous generals who like made it into the history books kind. and all were involved in the communist socialist thingy and all the revolutions and what nots. super interesting! :)) and bahn says the military school creepily resembles OCS? hehehe. and then her cousin drove the car onto a boat and we sailed across the river with the car. very cute! after that he brought us to the main city shopping area where he let us shop ourselves :) beijing lu. shopping was good :) they had all the damn good quality fakes though i didnt buy! they even had the celine fakes and all yay. but i’m waiting for shenzhen and hk! had sushi for dinner and after that her cousin picked us up again and took us on some river cruise. the sights are so prettyyyy and the wind mega shiok :) plus we had a good hour’s chat over peanuts and tea (omgosh so uncle right) on the boat, and we got so educated by her cousin on china. he just kept telling story after story and it was soo interesting we were glued :)

i have never learnt so much about china’s history in a day before. and i have never felt so enriched and so intrigued by china’s history before. always thought it was boring but today felt different somehow. it’s like after listening, i feel that china is such a deep, complicated and rather interesting country with such a rich and messy history, and such a screwed up system that even up till today, there are so many unimaginable unthinkable things going on in here that we will never know and the world will never know too. and its so hard to understand as well. hmm i feel like china today is just like a modern version of its old system. anyhow, the bottomline is that i’ve never felt so enriched and intellectual before :) hahaha.

anyway on to others, heard that korea’s gonna be hit by some mega typhoon ): hope everyone there i know stays safe and sound! ten more days before hitting home sweet home. i can’t say i’m really sad or happy. i’m kinda excited to see singapore again but don’t want this to end at all!

eating this bag of lychees that jaya’s cousin gave to us! :) damn shiok!!
