it's been so long i feel like shutting this blog down. ha. i live up to my slacker's title. but guess it's time to find a cure. probably a cca.

anyway, the china trip was much much much much better than expected. must be the company la. climbed the wu yi shan (we all coded it the 513). i think it was around 7000 steps or something. but i think i'm still considered quite fit after a long long hiatus. the last time i exercised is probably 2 years ago? my sis was practically on her fours, haha damn funny.

we also sat the water raft for 3 hrs under the pouring rain, myself protected with only a lousy + torn poncho. cold, but the experience was great. and our boatman's really knowlegeable. his conversations wit my mum's damn you mo shui, with several insertions of chinese literary poems which i myself didnt understand of cuz. makes me feel quite shameful, especially when he addesses us as university grads (da xue sheng).

oya. my family went gaga over the tea showcase they bought like over dozens of it. now i have so many types of chinese tea at home. the tea lady said each box can last us about 3 years. my mum bought 10++ which means i have 30 over years supply of tea! haha how incredible that is.

it felt like the china people ripped us out of the chinese herbs too. yea, i cant believe that one packet of yellow mushrooms can cost S$50. ( 1 packet=500g). My mum actually spent S$200 on those cao yao which they claimed cannot be found in singapore.

the service in china is really sucky. Maybe we singaporeans are too pampered, but it's difficult not to compare our singapore standard to china's. Really world's apart. Argh, bad service...which reminds me, i got molested by this stupid jiao di an mo guy. - . -. that whole 2 hours was the worst time of my life. T.T

hehe. ok i'm too sleepy to continue.

dont worry folks, though the place is quite ulu, i managed to get u guys some souvenirs, but it's just some cute keychains la haha...so dont complain k.

orite. ta!
