Jiang Nan Trip Part 2

Now comes the funny part of the trip.

1) [Oh... erm before I start with my recount, I would like to explain my behaviour.
*Ahem... and here is my explanation: Daddy used to bring me shopping when I was young, and whenever we saw a trolley, he would like to put me inside. In order to make me happy, he would borrow the bars between the wheels and skate on it, and same goes for the luggage trolleys used in airports.]

It all happened on 13 Dec 2008, 11+pm, S'pore Changi Airport Terminal 3, on my way to Boarding Hall. I was assigned with the responsibility of pushing the luggage trolley to the boarding hall. While pushing the trolley, I suddenly recalled how daddy used to skate me around with a trolley when I was little. Out of boredom, and the urge to again experience the perks of how daddy used to skate the trolley with me, I started skating on the trolley just like how daddy used to do it.

Unfortunately, I'm too heavy for the trolley to tolerate so...
SO... I... FELL!!! And the worst part was... I fell in front of the crowd. All my travelling companions burst out laughing of course.
The crowd? unlike my travelling companions were kind enough not to laugh. :D I thought I heard some gigglings behind but I'm sure I was hallucinating. :D

[OH! Don't worry, I'm not hurt. Haha, So kind of you to care. :D Thank You!!! What?... No?... You are more concerned of how I fell??? Oh! how could you?!?!]

2) *Ahem... so I suppose we could go on with the next incident. (>_<)[From now on every incident I'll be mentioning all had to do with toilets.]
I think this one, if I'm not wrong, happened in the hotel of YiWu. Its a sophisticated and classy hotel, even their public toilet were grand and sophisticated. Let alone a small door lock of a cubicle. Very sophisticated as well. Like I always say, I'm the simplest simpleton ever and complicated things aren't for me. This was what happened....
Before we set off to our next destination from the hotel, my female travelling companions and I wanted to visit the toilet, just in case nature called us in the middle of our long ride. So we went to the toilet. And OH WOW!!! the toilet sure is grand!!! EXCITEDLY, I went in to one of the cubicle. After I'm done, to my horror, I can't seem to unlock the door. I meddled with the lock, turning it left and right but it shows no sign of unlocking!!! Out of anxiety, I shouted for my travelling companions for help. "HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP!!! I CAN"T UNLOCK IT!!!! I"M STUCK!!!" Then my aunt quickly comforted me and gave me the instructions of how to unlock sophisticated door lock. Finally, I'm free. As I stepped out of the cubicle, I saw the other females CTC tour mates waiting. Instantly I knew they heard me shouting... Embarrassedly, I washed my hands and quickly ran out of the toilet. I heard soft gigglings behind, and I'm sure I'm not hallucinating.

3) This incident... hmmm... happened in a restaurant... unfortunately I really can't remember the exact place. Anyway thats not really important :D Well this one really scared the wits out of me. Here goes... Mummy, Junli and I went to the toilet to get ready for set off to another destination. We saw 3 available cubicles and we took one each. I pushed my way in to the cubicle and locked the door. After I'm done, I realised after I unlocked the lock, no matter how hard I push the door It won't barge! In other words, the door could not be opened. I meddled with the door for quite sometime and Mum being the first one out, impatiently asked if I'm done or not. Whilst she was asking, I was pushing the door with all my might to make it open...silently of course... I didn't want Mum to know I'm stuck in a cubicle again...Anxiously I replied my mum: "Ya soon!!!" But I'm still in the mist of pushing...Just when I was about to ask for help, I suddenly noticed that there was a sign "PULL" on the door. Great... just great....

4)This one would be the last incident as far as I could remember. I will add on to the list if I could remember more. :D Again, it got to do with toilet. We were at ShangHai's tallest building's 88th floor enjoying a 360 degree view of ShangHai. The guide gave us an hour for sight-seeing and after all the pictures taking, we realised we still have ample time for ice-cream. (Yes Yes I know we are nuts... Its extremely cold out there and we are eating ice-cream.) Anyway, we had ice-cream. Mummy being a baby, stained her shirt, jeans, jacket and my hand with chocolate ice-cream. She needed a toilet to clean up. And so, we went down, all the way from 88th floor to the 1st floor. I had a pair of sharp eyes, and saw the toilet sign immediately when the elevator's door opens. Quickly I dashed my way through the crowds with a mindset of directing Mum and company to the toilet as quickly as possible. Once I stepped into the toilet, I went to the basin to wash my hands. Suddenly I realised those females weren't with me. I was the only one in the toilet. I thought they might have lost me while following so I went out. As I stepped out of the toilet, I saw my tour group's most handsome guy and his family smiling at me. I'm a polite girl, so I smiled back, at the same time still looking for my mum and company at the toilet entrance. I find it strange that why that guy kept looking and smiling at me. My first instinct told me that he might be interested in me, so again, I smiled back at him. Suddenly as I turned my head, I saw the toilet sign.... I slowly walk to the sign to double check. And it states there... Male.

[Aftermath...
GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! I quickly ran away of course!!! How embarrassing!!! The worst part is that cute guy saw it all!!!! HELP ME!!!!
[After that incident, somehow, I can't help but kept thinking of that guy... Oops...]]

Jiang Nan Trip Part 1

I'm back from my 8 days of Jiang-Nan Trip!!!
Haha what a coincidence! Darren was there too! Haha and now to briefly blog about my trip.

1st day 14 Dec 2008
Left S'pore at 0115am.
Reached ShangHai Pudong International Airport at 0635am.
We took the ShangHai Maglev Train from ShangHai Pudong International Airport to ShangHai Maglev Longyang Road Station. The train could travel 30km in 8min!!!
Best thing ever, there was a cute guy in my group!!!
Then we visited ShangHai's Madam Tussauds Wax Figure Musuem.
We had our lunch in ShangHai thats when I saw Darren and his tour group in the restaurant.
Next we are off to SuZhou in the afternoon.
When we reached SuZhou...
When we reached SuZhou...
...OK I can't remember what we did there... But thats not really important haha so lets go on.
Due to winter, daytime is shorter, night falls at 5pm!!!
After dinner, we went to shop! I love shopping! But the saddening thing is because its winter down there, all clothes on sale were meant for winter, so I can't buy. *Sniffs
Oh and during shopping, Mum lost her phone. She didn't realised until we reached our hotel. All of us were happy that, that old sickening phone in which Mum refuses to change all along had finally left us... Mum was quite depressed though.
Turn in at 2200pm.

2nd day 15 Dec 2008
Still in SuZhou, morning call at 0630am. Tiring.
We went to SuZhou's Silk Factory to buy silk stuff!!! We bought 4 Silk-made pillows, and 4 Silk-made blankets. In conclusion, we had spent a fortune on silk products. I saw Darren again at the Silk Factory, by that time, I started to suspect that he is visiting the same place as me. Such coincidence!
Next we went to XiTang to ride on river boats. The scenery were mesmerizing! After the boat ride we went for lunch.
Right after lunch we were off to YiWu.
According to the tour guide, YiWu is a perfect place for shopping spree-ing, unfortunately, Mum wasn't feeling so well, so I don't have any memories on the visit of YiWu, except accompanying mummy to visit YiWu's toilet to vomit. (-_-lll)

3rd day 16 Dec 2008
At YiWu. Morning Call 0630am. I'm dying!!!
We went shopping again. :D Mum felt better after half a day of vomit.... So she had the energy to shop. She bought herself a tea set and a digital photo frame. (PS: See see, when she is feeling better, she couldn't stop buying. :P)
Then we are off to HangZhou. My favourite city. We had our lunch there.
After lunch we were off to visit HangZhou's famous "Xi Hu" (West Lake) What a beautiful sight. Took photos here and then and we were off for dinner. :D After dinner we went for a musical named: "给我一天，还你千年" (Give me a day, I'll return you a Thousand Years) at Song Cheng (Song City) Its a fantastic musical! Everything felt real and the effect was facinating. With the use of laser lightings, they have created many magnificent stage effects. I love it! I strongly recommand people to watch it. :D

4th day 17 Dec 2008
Still at HangZhou. Morning call 0730am. Thank goodness.
We went to the Long Jing Tea Plantation. The weather was cold and I've no mood for photo takings, but mummy was so enthusiastic she insisted that WE must take as much photos as we can. I wonder where she gets all her energy from. Reluctantly and in due shivering cold, I posed for the photos. :( Haha.
Mum hasn't got over her fortune spending at the silk factory, so she kept reminding us that we mustn't spend a single cent at the Tea Plantation. However we lost to temptations, and bought many tea-made goody snacks.
After lunch at HangZhou, we left for NanJing. 4 hours ride on the couch has given me a backache. NanJing, a solemn city. The first place they brought us to was the NanJing Massacre Memorial Hall. I was surrounded by sadness and sombreness once I stepped into the Memorial Hall. Next we went for dinner. The food was salty, but it was still acceptable for me. Next we went shopping again! I bought myself a Doggy Pouch! Its damn cute!

5th day 18 Dec 2008
Anthea's Birthday. Due to oversea charges, I wasn't allowed to sms my aunt to wish her baby Happy Birthday. So here it is, my belated wishes for her. Happy Birthday Anthea!!
Morning call 0630am. Goodness Gracious! Still at NanJing.
We went to visit a river, unfortunately I can't remember the name of the Lake. I just know that its very cold there and I've no mood for photo taking. Mum again insisted that we must take some. Next stop we visited Chang Jiang. Again, its extremely cold, I really have no mood for sight seeing, however I manage to take notice of the bridge. This bridge proves that Chinese are capable of doing great things too.
After lunch, We are off to WuXi.
WuXi a beautiful place. We visited a film's shooting scene. The ancient buildings were beautiful. Somehow I think we arrived at WuXi late, so very soon, night falls. (at 5pm) And when night falls,it gets extremely cold. :( After that, we went for dinner.

6th day 19 Dec 2008
Morning call 0730am. Yay!
We went to Pearls farm. Mum and Net bought 2 pearls bracelet and a Pearl necklace. Next we visited another river named: "Li Hu" (Li Lake).I can't remember what happen. Soon after we visited a clay teapot making factory, Mum was so tempted, however, she realised we had spent too much money, so se managed to control herself.
We are off to our next stop, in which was our last stop, ShangHai.
First place we visited in ShangHai was their Aquarium. Something like Sentosa's Underwater World. There were many fanciful fishes and I'm mesmerized by their beauty. I got a thing for fishes you know. Haha.
After that we were off for dinner. Right after dinner, we went to watch an Acrobat show. It was very exciting.

7th day 20 Dec 2008
Morning call 0730am. Hooray!
We visited ShangHai's tallest building, and did some sight seeing at the 88th floor of the building, where we get to view ShangHai 360 degrees. I think I had fell in love with someone at in the building. (>_<)
Then after that, we went on to a Feng Shui place. Mum spent a fortune there. After the Feng Shui Place, we went to a foot reflexology place, Dad spent another fortune there. During dinner, I nagged at them for spending way too much. But I don't think they heeded my advice.

8th day 21 Dec 2008
Free and easy day. Morning call 0730am. Yeah!
Tiring day! We had walk miles and miles to kill the time. I hate midnight flights. Me, Net and Jun almost get lost in the MRT station. Frightening exprience. I felt empty all day long. He had left ShangHai very early in the morning. I know I won't get to see him again. I don't even know his name! Goodness me!
Night arrived, we set off to ShangHai Pudong International Airport.
Left ShangHai at 12am
Reached Singapore at 22 Dec 2008 0500am. Happy Birthday to me. :D

(Next post? Would most probably be about those funny things that had happened to me during the trip.)

"Quit watching television, you're gonna fail your exams!"

"Quit watching television, you're gonna fail your exams!"

I kinda miss this sentence, and ever since O'level was over I've never heard of this sentence until now.

I used to loath this sentence to the core, and never ever expected that I will miss this sentence.

Now I am officially a couch potato, however, no one was there to nag at me to quit watching and hit the books.

A sense of emptiness is filling me.

I never thought I would say these but...

"How I wish to go back to school again...
How I wish I have holidays homework to do..."
