Chomp MooOoOoo~ Chomp.
Hi Peeps, I promised pictures didn't I. =D
I spend 4 fricking hours putting the pictures together. Of course I can't actually put everyone of them up since there are so many of them.
Alrighty, I shall start it off with the Suzhou Amusement Park pictures which is way, way over due.
Being here have made me willing to take up the thrills of roller coaster ride and the crazy ride in in the center. Believe me when I say I never really like those kind of rides but now, I'm longing to have another go at it, if it wasn't so freaking expensive.
The next trip that we went was to this area called Mu Du. It's just this area where by the place is left untouch retaining it's old traditional housing and shop houses. Even the rain didn't stop us from going but we came back with our jeans wet and shoes dirty.
Anyway, at this trip, we (meaning Esther and I) got to know 2 new guys both based in cambodia. Leslie and Kelvin. Both of them are really funny I must say. Although there are here just for here weekends, it was really nice to get to know them.
Yup! On may 25th, it was Esther birthday. A week after Mu Du trip.It was just a simple celebration with a teddy bear Ice-cream cake. What can I say, we were all tired. Hmm really makes me wonder how am I going to celebrate my 21st birthday. I'm getting old, time is zooming by really fast. I'm so afraid of what am I going to do next. I don't even feel that I'm an adult just as yet. So, so not ready.
Okay! The recent trip we had was last sunday. It was to this place called Nong Li da Shi Jie or something like that. But before we went there, we had our brunch at Winsun which is really near to the movie theater that looks like Esplanade on the inside but looks like a bird nest on the out side. Hence it is called the Bird nest. Serious!
The dim sun was fanta-bulous. With the ambiance of the place. All I can is WoaH! The place was so class and 'Atas' which you can only experience it in places like Raffles hotel and such. But it's actually quite affordable. After calculating, if everyone of us were to pay for the food, it's about 20 sgd. I'm missing the food there already. Yum-O!
Right, 'Nong Li Da Shi Jie' it's just a farming ground with fruits for you to pluck, activity and stuff like that for you to enjoy. We manage to do so much there. Scroll on down and see for yourself.
Plucked mulberry.
Ate it and cross a pond through the swing-bridge.
Slides and bumper car.
Horse riding!
Team building.
Plucked corns. It was really really the sweetest corn I've ever ate.
And Strawberries. We were very lucky to even find them as the strawberry seasons are over. The field smells of strawberry, the moment we walked into it. I finally got to see, smell, pluck and eat strawberry right from it's source.
That's all folk!

Backsteet Boys - How did I fall in love with you
Remember when, whenever we needed each other
The best of friends like sister and brother
We understand we'd never be alone
Those days are gone, now I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
Never meant to feel this way
Don't wanna be alone tonight
Chorus:
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
I hear your voice and I start to tremble
Brings back the child that I resemble
I cannot pretend that we can still be friends
Don't wanna be alone tonight
Chorus:
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
Who will want say this life
That it has to be tonight
Just need you to know
I don't wanna live this life
I don't wanna say goodbye
With you I wanna stay the rest of my life
Chorus:
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast this time
Everything's changed, remember you
How did I fall in love with you?
Ahh!! This music is stuck in my head.
Anyway I promise to blog tomorrow. Swear!

Alright people, it's peek-ture time again.
Anyway, I'm serious I can't view my own page but I can blog so I can't reply any tags on my tag board. So sad can. The tag board is like the soul of this whole blog. It would mean I can't communicate with people anymore~ I'm an island! T_T
Ok~ Early last Sunday morning, we set of for Shanghai as Mrs Ma the wife of the owner of this whole big-ass company was here for the last day. So, it's a shopping trip for us. It was rather depressing to find it raining la.
Basically from what I heard when it starts to rain really often it means the season is changing so spring is ending and the nightmarish summer is coming. It can actually have a high of 42 degree. Imagine that! getting roasted just by stepping out or even staying in. Thank god I will be back home by then. Thinking of the crazy weather back home scares me so much already. After all I've been here for 1 months plus with a terrific cool weather.
This is Shanghai for you. The roads are like maze. There are road side stall everywhere, just imagine vehicle drive by with black harmful exhaust and dust, lands on food and you eat it. Sound delicious don't you think? Haha, but I would wanna try it 1 day maybe on my last day here.
Anyway, so we stop for lunch at this really nice restaurant. The ambiance was great. It was once a art gallery if I'm not wrong but whatever it is, it serves great food. Yes and we are all patiently waiting for our lunch to be serve albeit exhausted.
Once after lunch, we went on a shopping rampage. Everyone of us carries 3 - 4 bags. It was rather chilly hence we are either putting our hands in our pocket of folding it. It wasn't posed just for taking picture. We were actually standing like that for about 5 minutes.
Yes, yes! The landmark of shanghai
Finally, we went for dinner. Once again it's seafood. They have such a wide variety that it's a little scary. When I say wide, it's really really wide I think if I would to put up the pictures, all of you guys will lose your appetite.
Hmm maybe I should.
There you go. This is only 1/8 of the whole assorted variety. Tell me, do you dare to eat the seafood on the 1st row 3rd picture from the left? It looks very erm.. scary and it gives me goosebumps just by looking at it.
Okie dokie~ I shall end my post here will be back next Saturday if I would to have any more pictures as It's highly impossible that I'll be going anywhere this weekend.
p/s: My friends who were in Myanmar are going back today due to the cyclone. What an experience gain although a tragic 1. All 4 of them are safe and sound that's the most important thing.
p/p/s: I'm broke for this month. Mummy~ haha
p/p/p/s: Esther is coming back on Monday!! Yippeee

Something unexpected happen.
It's never meant to be and will never be.
Sometimes, things just fall on you and get out of control no matter how well you can control your life, what you want to do, what time you wake and what kind of achievement you want to gain. It's not controllable.
whatever it is, it'll be over when I'm home.
I Just hate it when things go out of control. It's so not my style.
Putuo shan pictures.
Grab a soda and some snack, there are loads of pictures coming up.
5 hours road trip to Bei lun and 1 hour 30 mins of ferry ride to Putuo shan. It sound like grape mountain when we heard it initally. Anyway, we had lunch at a seafood resturant. (I seriously lost touch in blogging. I've got no idea what to type and how to type it!!)
Anyway, The ferry smell of perspiration and cigar. Mind you, people here do not bath everyday. Yes, so you can get all sorts of funky smells and mix it with cigar you get the true authentic "nan ren wei" which is freaking overwhelming. You have no idea how glad am I when we finally reach out destination. FRESH AIR!! never smell better.
Within 5 mins, we were whoosh to our hotel. Great view! it's actually directly infront of the beach. Took trucks load of pictures. Everything went well till our tour guide came. Man! she really have a serious attitude problem. She was freaking fierce and showed us a super duper black face for the entire week ends. Hence, whatever she said after that was shut off.
Views like this, we don't get it very often. City girl will always be a city girl. Most of the pictures are taken by my roomie~
That very night, after all the traveling and the drama, we sat by the beach and had a beer or maybe a dozen of it. Got kinda high, I sure am glad that Esther was there. I was lucid but walking in a straight line was impossible for me than. Yes, yes, anyone who is drunk will say that they are lucid but I really am. The very next morn, cable car ride to the mountain top to another temple. Please don't ask me what's their name. I can barely read it.
Once all the traveling is done, we headed back to Bei Lun and had lunch at 老板娘 restaurant. Fabulous I tell you, the BEST chinese food every apart from being too oily. Everywhere, over here food are flooded with a layer of oil. the amount of oil can last us 1 month.
The very next day, Monday, Esther received news from home that her grandmother passed away. So she's off for home on Tuesday and will only be back on the 12th.
On Thursday, it's a public holiday, I have no idea what holiday but all I know is that Carrefour is the place to avoid if you do not want trouble. All that I heard was, there will be a protest going on. Anyway whatever is it, it's none of our problem, we headed down to somewhere ( I don't know where we went you see, all I did was just follow) to have seafood again.
It was scorching hot but the sea breeze is damn great. You can actually feel the warmth and the cool breeze all at the same time, like 1 side hot 1 side cool.
After a quick tour round the beach, we arrived at this villa with mudan flower. Sadly, we were late. All we get to see is endless and endless of soil. The weather is so different as compared to when I 1st arrive. T.T no more cold weather. The temperature differ so much day 30 degree, night 17 degree.
Anyway, if you guys are thinking of catching a movie, "Iron Man" isn't bad so is "The children of Huangshi". The movie by Jackie Chan and Jet Li is really a waste of money.
Alrighty, It's off to Shanghai tomorrow morning at 8am. Will blog again soon, which will most likely be next saturday. See I happy not, I happy I bring camera if not my lousy handphone should suffice. ^^
Night night Y'all.
