Cute China Kids..

China & Me

Hmm... How do i feel about China/What have i experienced???

*The Good*

1. The people are quite friendly (of cos there are rude ones..but very few of them)

2. There are a lot of stuff to learn and see about China..like the history, the scenery, the cities..etc

3. Their old and unique culture, tradition and history are fascinating..

4. The weather can be nice when it is cold but not windy.

5. Most of the toilets r not so bad.. At least most of them r clean and "complete" and u no longer need to use umbrella to cover ur butt when u pee.

*The Bad*

1. China people don't drive according to rules when the police r not around. They dont follow the traffic light most of the time and you should always be extra careful when crossing the road, no matter whether u r using the pedestrian crossing or not.

2. A LOT of the public and hotel toilets/bathroom use those kinda "semi-transparent" glass/plastic or wateva material for their doors and walls. . They make people like my sis feel a little awkward..hehe

3. Every meal(lunch/dinner) i had there consist of fish, pork, chicken, prawn, veg and one or two kind of soups. In total there would always be about 10 dishes excluding fruits and tea and beer. My goodness... that was really a good weight-gaining program. Oh one more thing, the food there is SUPER OILY and sometimes quite salty... I wonder if their cooking oil and salt r really that cheap.

*The Ugly*

1. A lot of china man STILL have the habit of spititng everywhere. ARH!..this is one thing that i cant stand. It seemed so natural for them to spit anywhere, anytime. There were a few cases when some man spitted RIGHT NEXT TO ME... my goodness... I even saw motices that remind people to not vandalise and litter.. but there was no sign or reminder of not spitting. I wonder y...

2. Almost all china man smoke... even the tour guide told us so. They emphasized on drinking tea and exercising for good health.. but hello!..eating super oily food and smoking ain gonna help.

Well every country has his good and bad...Overall, i enjoyed the trip. China is getting more and more developed and structured. It was also more interesting than i thought it would be. Got to learn more about the chinese culture and i must say some part of the chinese history can be very inspiring... There was so much about chinese culture..felt kinda shameful to know so little bout it. ..... Well of cos..If there is a chance, i don't mind travelling to other parts of china in the future. It is really not as bad as u think it may be..haha...

Off to China

Off to china... 13-21.. see ya...Ciao...

"7" family

T7 + i7

the "7" family...:D

Star awards

watching Star awards 2006 now..(a Spore local chinese tv award) There are some funny parts n of cos there are some parts when me n my family juat cant stop commenting and cursing...hehe

comments:(that's just what i think... some people may think otherwise)

1. some artiste can really be so so fake .. I dont see a point of overeacting when ur fren received an award. Is it bcos u need that few seconds of exposure or u r jus being urself? If u were really touched, it would have looked real.

2. Some actor must be so damn dramatic n just cant wait to tell everyone about his sad, pathetic n super old story. Does he know that he was making a fool out of himself and hello!..people watching were all like.."omg..what he is thinking... so embarassing.."

3. some award presentors and some artistes are quite funny GENUINELY... N i love the how hongkong artistes speak mandarin... So funny...

4. the female host is so pretty...(Hou Pei Chen)... She is so sweet-looking and she is wat i call class...

Happy Birthday Becca....

Happy Birthday!!!!......May all us wishes come true n enjoy ur 21st(which i m sure u will...hehe)... Stay young n funky k... Once again ...Happy birthday!...

Salesman/woman

Nowadays..salesman/saleswoman can REALLY be so persistent n creative

Case 1:

Pat and i were walking towards the escalator in Leisure Mall. Then this woman promoting a Spa package came to me. "Xiao Jie, would u like to try out our spa package... bla bla bla" I gave her a smile and continued walking. Then all of a sudden she held my arm TIGHTLY.(not jus touch ok, she was so holding my arm).. WHAT THE CRAP!.. I went " Excuseeeee Meeeeeee.." And she was like... "Miss, give us a chance la.." Then eventually she let go.... What the hell man...Dont be surprise if u meet a salesgirl that hug u while promoting stuff.

Case 2:

Pat n i walked pass this vcd shop in Holiday Plaza. We din show any intention of going into the shop at all. Then one Ah Beng standing outside the shop stretched out his hand sideway ALL OF A SUDDEN and said " Zeeppp..." to "display" his namecard to pat. (he was damn dramatic man..i swear when he showed his namecard he said.."zeep..." ). Followed by that, he continued his line: " can order from us and we will deliver it to u.." Arh.. that was really funny. But he had a his own smart and "creative" way of attracting attention.

Pat's New house..

Pat has finally moved out of his old place.. his new place is so much nicer compared to the old one... He was so excited to show me around. He even showed me those tiny little stuff like the wall paper. the lights, etc. Hmm..one bad thing bout his place is that not a lot of people have moved in to the new estate. And also the phone line can't be set up yet. ... But overall it is nice. the guard was nice too. He didnt even ask me for my ID hahaha....

Pringles-ing in his room..

Hide and Seek in the living room

He loves the plasma tv...

{Convent Rulez!}

I love HIM!..

Love him love him love him....naughty but extremely ADORABLE...

He was at my place yesterday.. He was funny, playful, and ultimately active all the time. But there were twice when he just looked so so so so poor thing.

• 1. When my mom refused to buy toys for him at Pasar Malam, he turned to me and ask me to get him one. Oh man..I would if i had cash with me... but i din bring my purse out. So he continued "begging" my mom pitifully. Well in the end he got a pair of new shoes from my mom.

• 2.And also he broke a spoon while having dinner. It would be ok if it did not happen in front of my dad. Bcos my dad just cant stand kids breaking or spoiling stuff. So my dad kinda showed a little temper. Then my cousin kept quiet straightaway. N he looked so terrified. When i asked him to finish up his soup, he jus drank from the bowl instead of using another plastic spoon that we gave him.. When i asked him to use the spoon, and he said:" i dont want... what if i break it again.." and then he gave that look that says:"i dont want to cause trouble and kena again.." Seriously.. he really was super duple scared.. . He even started asking when his dad was gonna pick him up. ..sigh.... So poor thing. But kids r still kids........this hyperactive boy got ok after a while and started playing with anything that he could find in the house.

Conclusion: he is cute.. Love him love him love him...to the max...:P

The end

Life is indeed a journey,

A journey that will end.

It was such a sudden end,
that no one could sense.

Life is indeed a journey,

A journey with goodbye.

You said ur goodbye,
and now it's our turn.

Life is indeed a journey ,

A journey u completed.

wish that it was longer,

wish that it was better.

Life is still a journey,
albeit the end is here.
We thank God still,
For the peaceful finish.

Life is still a journey,
A journey that lives on.
Even if we don't meet again,
A part of our family u remain.

Random pics taken while buying mom's stuff with family..

life??

somtimes life is so frustating..........

when it is stressing u up.......

and of cos..when u meet people who u dont agree with......

SOS..

Tests, Assignments, Exam..... These are the things u get when the term is ending... Everyone is damn stressed and busy.. Different people having different kind of destressing method. For me..shopping is good.. but no time for that.. Sleeping? not much time for that either.. How bout eating then? yea..perfect... Chocolate!!..

So when i went down to try to find some snacks ... I saw this box of Kitkat!(a new packaging that i had not seen b4).. "Have a break..Have a Kitkat!" it seems to be the best destressing tool huh..

But guess what...kitkat is MORE than just THAT!...

U think this is just on ordinary box of kitkat??!!




Nah u r so wrong!!...It is actually a "STRESS RELIEF KIT"





When u open it up, u expect to see all the kitkats right??... BUT once again..it's not just that!...it has a "RELAX BALL" that says...





And on the opposite side u may expect to see..."Have a KITKAT!" Nah nah... WRONG!... it actually says: "JUST RELAX!"
