At work today, as usual I did translation stuffs (documents or letters) for 黄小姐 and did one or two postings of company details in forum for our company. My boss is putting his products on the forum so that he can get more dealers outside his list of contacts. If any possible ways he can think of, he will. My boss' brains work very fast and I don't think it ever stop working. Haha. What to do, businessman! Anyway, I helped 黄小姐 identified some Europe countries that use Satellite Receiver with an Ethernet line. If I got it correctly, the old version of Satellite Receivers has an Ethernet port. So our company is looking for dealers, whom still are selling old version of Satellite Receivers to sell them CV12. Haha. Wow! I bet y'all can't understand what I'm talking about man. Whahahaha.... I'M A GENIUS!!! Hee. Well, I managed to find many companies, which are still dealing with old version of satellite receivers and compiled a list for 黄小姐; so that she can contact them later.


Mr Tan, since I'm recording what I'm doing at work, can I not do my logbook? Haha. An excuse. Don't worry, I'm doing it everyday. I was just finding a way not to write. Lazy. Hee. The work I have to face each day and to write the logbook. Hee. Okok, for my own good, I shall not complain anymore =p


Ok, after work, we went for dinner at the dumplings stall (the one that we always packed back home). Hee. We didn't eat dumplings but we decided to try something else. We ordered this minced meat popiah thingy and fried noodle. Very nice. Hee. I think it is even nicer than the dumplings now that I've tried this. Haha. I'm kinda sick of dumplings now anyway. Hee.

Exactly like the popiah skin. Hee. The food below looks like worms yar? Initially I thought so too. But don't worry, it is purely minced meat. Very very nice! This is to wrap with the popiah skin. Oh! Shantou doesn't serve insects as delicacies. So for those weak-hearted, it's safe to come here. Hee. But they served animal meat such as dog, rabbit, cat, snake etc. My boss said that he wishes to eat Tiger meat! Hmph! I OBJECT!!! This is because I love Tigers to much and I'm born in the year of the Tiger =p

Well, this is how you wrap the meat in the popiah skin for those who has never wrap it in their life before. Hee. Should have taken a video down. My bad!

Then you roll it nicely to become this. Hee. You can see a hole there because I put too much of the meat and vege in it. Haha. Greedy me!

The fried noodle we ate. Really delicious. If you add it with the minced meat sauce, it will be even delicious. Hee.

The meal looks sumptuous yar? Hee. It's very very cheap!!! Haha. The minced meat popiah is RMB 12 and the fried noodle is RMB 7. Total is RMB 19 (S$3.80)!!! Where can you get this kinda price in Singapore. Good food somemore ok. Haha. I don't wanna say anymore or else you will complain to me that the food is good and cheap, telling me to bring it back. Haha. Okok, I'm going to take my rest now! Good night =)

Work Without 黄小姐

黄小姐 didn't come to work today because she was not feeling well. So I had to do stuffs without her because usually she is the one, who gives me things to do. I didn't slack because she didn't come. I managed to get some time out to complete some stuffs she needed me to do but not in a hurry to submit it.

She wanted me to search for some stuffs on DVB-T, DVB-S/DVB-S2, DVB-C and translate to Chinese for her. I managed to do DVB-T first because she came online to ask me to translate two documents for her, which was in a hurry to send to her client.

We had really good lunch - Stir-fried Beef Noodle. Really really good!!!

We came home half an hour earlier because expecting heavy rain today. We reached hom just nice it started to rain.

27th May 2007, Sunday

We woke up late and went out in the evening to Wal-mart again. Didn't really shop the previous day so we decided to walk thoroughly on Sunday. Finally we got a picture in their public bus. Lesser people in the evening on bus 24.


Had McDonald for dinner. Way cheaper than Singapore. Wendy ordered Big Mac but it is much smaller than Singapore's. Probably that's why it is cheaper. But their meal is very small portion. Their default meal is small drink and fries with the burger. They got small, medium and large meal. I've ordered the medium one but that lady was cranky so I didn't get my medium but a small one instead. -Sigh- I ordered this black pepper grilled chicken burger, which Singapore doesn't have. Sorry no photos because I was too hungry to remember. Hee.

After dinner, Wendy wanted to look at mobile phones so we went to the opposite building (forgotten what it's called) to shop for it. Shop till it was quite late, about 10pm then we wanted to take a bus home and saw boss' father and mother. They were buying supper for their grandsons (boss' sons)

26th May 2007, Saturday

Hee. Sorry about the update. Didn't have time to. 30 minutes before the end of work, Yan jie bought us this - Wallace burger. Don't know how much is it. It looks like KFC's Zinger but it taste different because their mayonnaise has a different taste (like Wasabi in it. hee. mustbe hallucinating). But the fried patty taste exactly the same as the Zinger. Wow! No wonder this is China. Best for 'copying'. =)

After work, we went back to put our stuffs with 香兰, then we had dessert for snack. We bought from the same uncle but 香兰 and I ordered grass jelly this time. Wendy had beancurd again - her favourite! I prefer grass jelly but the other day the uncle didn't have it but I'm happy he had it this time =)

We went to take bus 24 to Wal-mart (US supermarket), which is at the uptown area. I told 香兰 that I usually take 24 back home, probably this will bring me back home (Singapore). Haha.

We met 黄小姐 directly at Wal-mart, which is in South China Mall, because she had to go home to settle some domestic stuffs. Haha. Below is a scene I have never seen it before. My God! I wish I can fill it all in my stomach. I am drooling at this very moment. Wendy and I had the drumsticks. Hee. Very nice but a little salty. The lady (whom we don't know) coincidentally helped us to point at the chicken. Hee. How thoughtful.

It's time to finally meet 黄小姐 and 香兰. The order is from left to right (黄小姐, Wendy, Me, 香兰). Pretty, aren't they? They have been taking care of us very well. So don't worry ok. =) We had a fun time but didn't really shop much.

Went to this big patch of land where family gathered together there to play and all (sort of like picnic but without food). I overlooked the green patch and see many buildings, which resembled Singapore's. Very beautiful and finally got to see something resembling Singapore closed to me. -sniff-

Serious Matters

Well, so far I have shown y'all fun stuffs that we have been doing. But we have been hard at work too. Haha. I'm talking about my OSIP. We are doing our SIP first till we find a product that we are interested to do. Our boss is going towards GPS and MP5. Anyway, before MP, we have been doing admin stuffs. Wendy and I are doing totally different tasks. So basically I will sum up what I have been doing for the these two weeks.

- Well, I will jot it down in point form so it is easier:

- Research for the definition of 'Modulation' and did a translation from English-to-Chinese

- Did checking of specifications for Digital Satellite Receiver to tally with customer's specification

- Read into Digital Satellite Receiver details.

- Translation from E-to-C 'Home Security User Guide' (Helped Wendy to translate 2 pages)

- Read into SmartCard Splitter

- Translation of many documents, letters, conversations with customer, websites from E-to-C, vice versa.

- Look for forums (SmartCard Splitter, Satellite Receiver etc) to post company's details to promote the company's products

- Search for Sharing Card in France

Yeap, I have been doing these much to keep me occupied and pass time. Haha. Although most of the time I'm doing translation, I'm getting the hang of it and really kinda like doing it. At least better than nothing to do. The initial stage, it is kinda hard to do the translation part. But I'm seriously happy that it's like an easy task now. Hee. Don't know whether that means that my Chinese is improving. Ha! I've learnt a lot about Sharing Card, SmartCard Splitter.... etc.

Well, maybe if you are interested, then probably you can search them up if you have nothing to do. It's all related to telecommunications. Duh! =)

Night Walk!

We saw a small little stall at the roadside selling dessert. Initially I wanted Grass Jelly but Ah Cek (Uncle) said that it was sold out. So I ordered the same thing as Wendy - Hot Soya beancurd. It's different from Singapore's. In Singapore, it will have this sweet syrup but the Ah Cek put sugar instead. But the more you stir, it will become what you see below. It taste different and nice! Got peanuts in it too. Haha. I only eat certain kind of peanuts (call me wierd).

Don't ask me why Wendy is in a bowl and mine is in a cup. I don't know. But I think the volume is the same. The bowl looks nicer though. Anyway, it is RMB 1, which is S$0.20. Haha. Beat that!

Actually we were looking for KFC but couldn't find it. We went to all directions and streets and couldn't find it. Sorry Mervyn, wanted to really try whether the KFC in China really have problem or not. Haha. But didn't get to try it so you must be happy now? We had another alternative though. We saw this stall selling corn and some other stuffs. But my eyes were only looking at the CORN! Haha. Love corns to bits!

Ah Cek bbq-ing the corn. Yummy corn. A little different. First he spread butter on it then he let it cook for a while then he sprinkles a combination of salt and pepper. Erm... A little hard and it taste different but it's still corn. As long as it is corn, I don't mind.

Look at our corn cooking. Haha. Can you see the hand in the background? It's even agreeing that it's ready already. Haha. Oh! The corn is RMB 2 (S$0.40).

The final results - delicious BBQ-ed corn! Mum and Cheryl, no reasons for y'all saying that I never take a picture of myself. Haha. I like this picture very much. Now you wouldn't see Cookies and Me. You will see more of this pic. =p

MORE Dumplings!

For lunch, we had dumplings! Haha. The fried one is mine and the steam one is 香兰. This is from the stall that sells the la mian (拉面). Very nice. This fried dumpling that i had is even nicer than the one I used to have. Seriously, it is much much much nicer. Hee. It is 6 bucks for 20 dumplings, which is cheaper than the one we used to have. Yummy!

Wendy ate the fried one too and 黄小姐 ate the steam one, which is the same as 香兰 =)

Oh! I was a little bored so I took my beautiful but auntie cup to let you see. I just choose it under boss' table. I like it because it has my favourite things on it - flower and BUTTERFLIES!!! Haha.

I took the side so y'all can see the many many butterflies. Hee. My mummy will then say that I'm bo liao again.

Delicious Dinner =)

Hey all! Dinner is GREAT! Guess how much is it by looking at the picture? I'm not going to tell you yet. Haha. All I can say is that you wouldn't be able to find such nice and cheap packet rice in Singapore. It's damn nice for a very very cheap price! Haha. The left one is mine and the right belongs to Wendy's. Apparently they packed mine first then when I told them that we are packing home, they gave Wendy lesser. -Sad-

Okok, I will reveal the price now. Haha. You will be shocked! IT IS RMB 3!!!! Yes Ren Ming Bi! Which is S$0.60. YES! Singapore dollars. Haha. Seriously, it is nice! This is how cheap China's stuffs is. We were thinking of eating it for dinner every night. Haha.

Lunch!

Anyway, I managed to set the timing to Singapore's. Haha. Yar yar, say noob for all I care. =p Lunch today was boss' treat. Haha. Cool man. We ate this crab porridge for our main course. Really really tasty. Can see that they cook it thoroughly because all the ingredients (esp. the crab) sunk into the porridge. Really nice. Hee. I told you boss is a GOOD man! =)

Anyway, Wendy took it in her mobile phone. We can only get the pictures tomorrow at work. Trying out again because the PC is sucky. Haha. I pray hard we can show y'all the delicious food we ate during lunch. I bet with y'all, you'll be drooling. Haha.

Managed to get the picture up. The first three photos are the side dishes.

This above is very very sweet potato. They soaked it in syrup. Very nice and sweet! =) The bottom one is some shell seafood. I was forced to eat two. It's not bad I would say.

This below is some vege which I don't know. Don't remember tasting it in Singapore so I don't know whether we have it or not. But it is not tang guang.

The bottom photo is the porridege. A little blur so my apologies. It's damn nice the porridge! Hee. There's 6 little crabs in it. Hee.

This is half of Wendy's crab. Not bad, she managed to arrange it nicely. =)

Hee. Food looks good yar? I enjoyed eating man. The crab is very sweet. God! They got many good food here. Coming back as a chubby me. Ha!

Badminton Session

Once I reached home after work yesterday, I went offline for a while then headed to bed around 7pm, I think. Then at about 8 plus, someone called Wendy. Initially I thought it was her parents. Then she asked boss to wait a while because she wanted to ask me. Then I found it wierd at why would the parents wanna talk to me. Later to find out that it was boss.

Then Wendy passed the phone to me to talk to boss. He then said that it was hard to get a court here in Shantou so he asked me not to think. After I hung up with him, we started changing and packed our stuffs. Boss picked us up at about 9.05pm then we went to go get our sport shoes.

Both of us got a Nike thinking that we have to pay it ourselves. In the end, boss paid the shoes for us. Both shoes were RMB 90 with a pair of socks for Wendy. It is so cheap because it is FAKED! Haha. Aiyo, just buy one for fun so I can play my badminton ok.

The one above is mine and the bottom one is Wendy's. Well, I don't know whether it looks fake. You tell me?!

We went to the court after buying our shoes. God! There's like so many people at the court. Good players are all there. When we reached, we realised that though we have booked the court, we still have to share. I played alongside boss initially then I went all out to save the shuttlecock. In the end, i got three bruises on my legs. One on the left and 2 on the right. Then I could hear Wendy and boss' friend laughing at me. Then when I took a rest I asked Wendy. Wendy told me that boss' friend was more worried about his racket because I was too hyperactive. Hee. But I just played as per normal from what I was taught. Coaches be it in badminton or rugby said that you must put your life on the line to save every single shuttlecock or ball. Haha. Just doing what I was taught. But I didn't damaged his racket but saw boss' friend taking a look at his racket. Haha. I think he wouldn't lend it to me the next time.

This is where we played. Loads of people yar? See those sitting down waiting? Tsk tsk. To book for one hour is RMB 30 (S$6). Hot sport here!

We left at about 10.30pm to go grabbed something to drink/eat. I drank Pearl Milk Tea but their pearl milk tea is not the same as Singapore's. It has oat in it. And seriously, it is nice. Very different and interesting. Wendy drank Chocolate Milk Tea with pearl. Then Wendy ordered Corn and fries. She ate the corn and I ate a little of the fries and she finished it up. Cannot take too much carbo so late in the night. Hee. Then boss sent us back home. Reached home about 11.30pm and I went to sleep. Wendy was still chatting with her boyfriend. Don't know till what time.

This is where we drank the delicioud drinks - 欧吉 (They spell it as 'Ou Jyi').

Independent Woman

I couldn't go into my blog till today. So will update about Monday. Monday after work, we went out on our own. Haha. So we went to this shop that sells 拉面 (La Mian) using lamb as the soup base. We ate dry 拉面 because it is much nicer. We ate this once with 黄小姐 but I was craving for it again so went there. I wish we got photos for you but we were too hungry so we ate first. After we were about to finish, then I realised that we forgotten to take photos. Haha. Oh! I had it for lunch today too but the small boy couldn't find our company so it became very disgusting so better not take any to show y'all. Haha.

Next time, still got chance one =)

Then after dinner, we were hunting down for 大众(Da Zhong) because this is our first time going there on our own. BUT we managed to navigate our way there then I bought some stuffs like towel for badminton session, a set of chopsticks and spoon and instant noodles. Yes, I haven't ate the noodles that daddy packed for me but I bought so I can use the plastic bowl to cook next time. Hee. Smart yar? I've become very thrifty and smart here ok?

Oh! At the entrance of 大众, we saw two of our colleagues, 沈香兰 and 谢敏珊. And this 大众 is the supermarket that I told you about the lockers. Yeap, after shopping, we headed back home. You know what? 大众 is actually and seriously near our place. Then I took a photo of our place. Seriously I want to take some photos of me inside but I wanna do quick shots and not let people see. Haha. Cannot upload the photos now, will do it later ok? Photobucket got problem in China most of the time.

Here you go, the photos! Haha. I only managed to do it at home.

Bad News!

Haha. Nothing happened to me. Just wanted to tell you guys that the photos we took on Saturday had problems. Apparently, somethings wrong with the PC so we couldn't upload the pitcures. So we will use a camera next time. But I'm sure that staying three months here, you will get to see the picture. Maybe we can go there again and take photos for y'all =)

Really sorry man.

SUNDAY!!!

Haha. Woke up at 10am and realised I couldn't sleep no more. But i didn't get my 8-hour of sleep =(

Anyway, today is a very very slack day BECAUSE it was raining the whole day till evening. So we had no choice but to stay indoor. The rain was horrible. One thing about raining here is that if you really can, try not to go out and walk on water. Very dangerous apparently.

Stayed in the room to play and chat with some friends. But Wendy was packing her area doing some washing and cleaning. Haha. I'm a little lazy. Apparently, I'm still quite clueless about my BT thing so I was cracking my head the whole day about my BT. Ordered 外卖 to our room. We ordered dumplings again. Wendy ordered 猪肉韭菜饺子again (she likes 韭菜 a lot!) but this time she ordered steamed one. Then I ordered the fried one but it is 猪肉白菜饺子(pork with vege). It was still too much that I couldn't finished it.

The one on the left is mine and the one on the right is Wendy's. =)

After eating, Wendy went to sleep till 7pm. Just to let you know that she loves pigs. Haha. If you know what I mean. I was playing games and chatting with my friends till 9pm. We stayed in the room for dinner too. Haha. We didn't eat actually. Wendy ate her leftover dumplings and I just continued playing. Haha. When I'm playing, I don't really care about anything else. BUT I did bathe ok. Haha. Ok, enjoy yourself in school or at work tomorrow everyone. For me, it's another 6-day work week. Haha.

A Hell Of A Day!

Hey all! Updating you on the stuffs we did on Saturday! Pictures will be uploaded later. Apparently there's something wrong with my BT so Wendy can't send me the photos from her mobile phone to my lappy. Tomorrow I hope I will be able to get the photos =)

After lunch, it started raining the whole day till Sunday evening. Damn bad. After work, 黄小姐 decided to bring us to go get shoes for Tuesday's badminton session with 翁总 and his friends. If nothing happens (couldn't book a court) then Tuesday would be the day. I heard that one of his friends, who will be playing is a badminton coach. Die!

Anyway, we went back to put my lappy first then took a cab to Zhong Lu She (中旅社), which is located at Shan Zhang Lu. We ate our dinner first after we met up with 黄小姐. We went to buy oyster omelette. Taste different from Singapore's one but still taste good. It has vege and loads of oysters in it. Haha. I don't eat oysters so you can say that I eat the flour and egg only. Anyway, we packed the oyster omelette to the next stall to have our dinner. We ate this thing that taste like rice dumpling (but the shape is in the form of a sausage) accompanied with pig organ's soup. The pig's organ soup taste like what my grandma makes every CNY. Very reminiscence.

Then after dinner, we went to shop around for shoes specifically but in the end we were shopping for clothes and bags. Haha. The things here are a little dramatic with loads of laces and glitters. A little not my style. But once I saw two tops that I wanted, it is sold out. Very sad. Faye, I saw two bags you might like. Haha. But you got so many bags already. Will consider again. Hee. Mervyn, saw a pair of shoe for you but don't know whether you can wear because their biggest size is 44 but yours is like 47. God! Anyway, this is the initial stage of my shopping so everybody you are not left out. I didn't even get anything for myself except a bottle of anti-mosquito water.

Faye, I was thinking of buying some stuffs back so that we can sell at the bazaar. Things here are like stupid cheap! Can buy nice nice bags. Apparently, I saw quite a few nice bags. Trust my taste ok. Hee.

Then 翁总 called us to go for KTV-ing session. Hee. We got excited because we finally got to sing! Had fun singing the whole day. We sang until 1am. Then 翁总 wanted to get something to eat so we headed down to eat Teochew porridege. It is tasty but I couldn't eat much. Ha! Ate only like 1/4 of my porridge. After eating, 翁总 sent 黄小姐 home first and asked us to go drink tea first before he drove us back.

We ended up in this Mahjong place. which is run by 翁总. A very cool place because the Mahjong table is automatic. Very famous in China but didn't know I get to see one. Then 翁总 said that since you wanna see then let's place 3 rounds (FYI: 3 rounds doesn't mean 3 East (东). Poor 翁总 was already tired but wanted to entertain us.

After 3 rounds, 翁总 drove us home and we reached home at 3am. Haha. Just nice to hear the rooster waking everyone up. Haha. Then packed a little of our stuffs then we dosed off.

FINALLY!

The technician came and fix the internet line today. The cable do have problem so I wasn't able to use it. I hope there wouldn't be any problem anymore, concerning the internet line in my room. But it was tough job for him to do too. He had to use a super long cable to connect from the next room to our room.

Anyway, all of you are lucky that y'all don't have to go to school to clock in and out. Furthermore it is a Saturday. Got to work still. Oh! We don't have clocking in and out system. 翁总 told us we can go and leave at any time. But we've decided to go to work between 9 to 9.30am depending on whether the driver is picking us up or not and we will leave at the same time with the rest, which is 5.30pm. It's the same time as Temasek's clock out system.

Anyway, I will blog tomorrow at work again if I have time but I guess y'all will only read on Monday. So ciao for now!

Dinner at 大宅门

After work yesterday (17th May 2007), our boss, 翁总 brought us to 大宅门 (Da Zhai Men) to eat. Yup, it's the picture below.

This is the interior. Haha. If you are smart enough, we didn't take it at the actual place. I took it on the tissue casing. Haha. But the bottom picture is the actual interior we took. If you are wondering who is the man in the picture, he's no other than 翁总. Hee. He just cut his hair today so it is much neater then what you see in this picture. He is a GREAT man! He takes care of us really really well. Like today, just a few minutes ago, he bought us 小吃(snack) to eat. With such great boss, you should consider coming for OSIP man. Ha!

This below is the 八宝茶(Eight treasure tea) we drank yesterday. Really different from the other teas you will ever drink (at least for my case). Very sweet-flavoured. It has many surprise inside really like a treasure. Hee. I ate almost all things in the tea after I didn't wanna drink anymore.

This above is the 八宝茶 tea 'pourer'. Haha. Heard from 黄小姐 that the origin of tea pouring this way is from 四川 (Szechuan, if my spelling is correct). I'm sure y'all seen this in Singapore before. Do you know how hard it was to take this guy's photo down? All of them either come suddenly or just pour quickly. So it was hard. We actually took a photo of another chinese man in white but Wendy was so excited that she deleted it away. Anyway, we must thank 黄小姐 for this photo because she drank her tea though it was newly poured. Haha. She knew how badly we wanted this picture.

This is what we ate. Haha. Seems like we cleared almost everything. Every dishes were spicy! Haha. I thought I couldn't take it but their spiciness is very mild. Thank God! I thought at the end of the day, I would become a very red lobster. Call me no use or anything. I don't care! Haha. The food is very nice here. We ate tofu, fish head, chicken, 2 types of vege (one of it is this cucumber dish - very nice!), this pork that taste like bacon, this grass noodle which is very smooth and silky, and Mao Tse-Dong's favourite red pork and two desserts. Damn filling! Do you know that at the table, I actually said that Mao Tse-Dong was from GMD! My God! I'm like a history student and I've made that stupid comment. They said that if I were to make this comment in the past, I might be dead now. But they said that it's ok now. They found it funny, so treat it as though I wanted to make them laugh. Hee.

Toilet Pictures

These are the toilet pictures y'all requested. Haha. I don't know why y'all want to see. It's not nice at all. Anyway, everything in the toilet is not nice except for the heater. Looks quite expensive but I'm very sure that it is cheap in China.

Actually, as long as it is not common toilet then it is ok already. Enjoy! Haha.

FYI

Oh! I've forgotten to tell y'all something. There's no time difference between Singapore and Shantou so don't worry. Except for the sunrise and sunset.

Haha. A few seconds ago, I have just received my pay of 500元 for my life expenses. Haha. I'm rich again!

Mummy, that doesn't mean that you can stop giving me money. Hee.

Sorry for posting this late. Had to translate many many many letters for 黄小姐. Finally left with one so I decided to post something before it is too late.

Had Char Siew Rice for Lunch. Much different from Singapore's because they give 2 types of vegetables instead of cucumber and it cost 5元. More varieties in one packet instead of just char siew. And one thing about their meals is that it is always accompanied by soup. Very very healthy. The food is good but somehow my appetite is smaller here. Haha. I might become slimmer here. Yeah!

Anyway, I've added more songs due to a request from Mrs Michelle Chua. Y'all may not know her but she was temporary replacing Angelina Soh for our OSIP. I hope you enjoy the song Michelle! Hee.

Okay, yesterday night. I've sat on a scooter yesterday! 黄小姐 wanted to go to our room and see what's wrong with the LAN connection. Apparently nothing could be done till the technician come. It was my first time sitting on a scooter. I've told mummy and she told me not to do it again. Haha. Mummy and Daddy don't like me riding on anything two wheels except on bicycles.

Anyway, there is a supermarket opposite BLUETVSAT Electronics (The company we are working for). So we cross the road to go get blankets (FINALLY!) and plastic bags. Although the hotel do provide us blankets but it is too scrubby. Very uncomfortable to sleep in. For the past 2 days I was freezed to death! For 28元 (S$5.60), I've got myself a very comfortable blanket. For the first night out of the three, I slept peacefully except that the rooster is still irrtating. Haha. We had to get plastic bags because the hotel doesn't provide us with any. Furthermore, room service is only 4 times a month, which is a good thing as I wouldn't want the cleaners to be coming in and out of our room everyday. I wouldn't wanna see my valuables missing one-by-one each day. But all of it are locked up (That's like Rule #1). Remember this people, lock your stuffs no matter where you are! Hee.

The purple one is mine because Wendy said that it is nicer so she let me have it. Very sweet of her. Hee. But both are equally comfortable.

This is the scrubby blanket. Please don't be mistaken by it because you cannot see the scrubbiness (Hee. No such word.). It is damn uncomfortable!

Anyway, many stuffs had to get on our own. We went to 大众 supermarket the other day and I saw something very interesting. Opps, sorry no pictures. Hee. Anyway, especially when you are at big supermarket here, your valuables are better not be with you. Even if your sling bag has zip is also of no use. So they have this locket to keep it. I BET with you, you haven't seen their lockers, unless, maybe you've been to China. Their lockers run with barcode. You have to press for a receipt with barcode then a locker will automatically open up. Then when you wanna retrieve your belongings, you will have to scan the barcode then it will open up. Quite cool I thought.

Anyway, after buying our stuffs which was like 8.30pm, we went to buy our own dinner by OURSELVES. Haha. Proud of myself again. This is the first night we weren't accompanied by anybody. Ha! We went to buy dumpling (饺子) for dinner. Eating 饺子was like the first thing in my list that I wanted to try.

Wendy had the 猪肉韭菜饺子 and I had the 猪肉香菇饺子. For my non-chinese friends, 猪肉 is pork (sorry), 韭菜 is a favoured vege and 香菇 is mushroom. So this is today's Chinese lesson. Ha! I wanted to post pictures but suddenly the photobucket has problem again. The whole day. Later when you see the picture, you will see that Wendy's dumpling presentation was not too nice but it taste really nice! Haha. Mine is nice too ok. Wendy's for 20 dumplings was 9元 and mine was 8元 for 20 dumplings too. Wendy's managed to have leftovers of only one. I left 6! Damn filling ok.

The top one is Wendy's. And the bottom one is mine. I told you the presentation is not really nice maybe because we packed it back to eat. But it is really nice!!

I just realised that there's 'Anyway' in each paragraph. Haha. Maybe too used to it already. Anyway, shall end here. Got more to do. I will post the dumplings later.
