This is my story...

Melinda says SORRY L

Hello people and readers reading my blog

I want to sincerely apologise for not updating my blog becos the internet connection service for my hotel is seriously poor

And typing this post, I have no idea when it will be uploaded in my blog

And and as some of you might know, China banned Facebook, Twitter, Blogspots EXCEPT Hotmail

So its really hard for me to connect to Internet

Each time I tried, it always fail to connect

There was once that I tried to connect for one hour but still fail

The websites and webpages showed that its loading but nothing comes out after that

So readers please pardon me if I forgot what to blog about my days and past days

Sigh, this is kinda pathetic but I will do what I can

I really miss my dad, brother and grandma, my friends and my church

And so I am typing this post in Microsoft Word to keep my blog going

The last post I remembered was when I finished my exam which was 22^nd October (Monday)

And so after that we went to Captialand Mall in Wuhan

If only I can post pictures when I get the chance to go and blog

its hard to post pictures so i guess i will post it when internet is getting better :)

We shopped and stuff hehe

But actually, nothing much in Wuhan

All china stuff, kinda “fake” you know, I will be lucky if I get to get something good which is 10% most of the time

And one more thing, sometimes when I don’t blog, is either internet is not working well or when I am studying or when I am out

Its hard to find a perfect time to blog, I am even taking this “after lunch” time to blog, or when waiting for my roommate to finish bathing to blog

Its busy, I am not complaining but it’s a fact that I must let you all know so that there wont be any misunderstanding that I am avoiding any of you or I am neglecting you or what

I don’t want to create unnecessary problems ok? J

So lets be happy people!

I have been trying my best to keep in contact with most of you as really a lot of people has been asking me how am I on facebook and all

But don’t stop contacting me just becos I say this ok? Ahhaha I don’t blame you all for having misunderstandings as well becos the thing is that we are far far apart in different countries

(Continued)

Tuesday, SUE DYED MY HAIR

We bought home dye and she helped me to dye with lots of hair loss on the floor

Hahahhahaa, its not becos of the brand but guess she really did her heart out to spread the colours

She bought Violet colour and I helped her, her hair looks SUPER COOL NOW MANN

Hahahah THANKS TO ME! I was so proud of myself becos I did it for her alone

She did deep dye by the way, so her hair now has black on top, brown middle and dark purple at the end

FOR ME? Hahaha interested to know right?

Well, its my first time dyeing someone’s hair and first time to DYE MY HAIR haha

I picked the colour of Burgundy, first look when I picked the box, I thought it was brown until I realised it was suppose to be dark red

I wanted this kind of colour last time when novell did her dye

And I found it, well, cant believe I was going to dye my hair

But now I believe as I see it in the mirror everyday

Beginning to love myself even more as I didn’t realised the bits and pieces of me to try new stuffs

Gonna surprise my dad

And relax people, the colour is not HOT RED or what

Its only red and obvious under the light

So in the day, only you can see, at night, its hard HAHAHAHA

Sue said its good for first dye, starting must dye something dark den slowly move to bright colours

But under my lights on my hotel, its seems to appear brown

But its nice and I love it

AND I KNOW BECOS OF MY HAIR, I SPAMMED LIKE ONE WHOLE PARAGRAPH RIGHT?

Its my first time so cant blame me

(and Nicholas, I think my colour is darker than urs mann)

Wednesday:

We had class so sad, supposedly after exam shld be mid term break

And sue was sick, oh no

Time to be a nanny again but she recovered by afternoon, but we didn’t go out

But when to the guy’s hotel room to watch a night movie – Devil

Something got to do with the sinners and the lift

I didn’t watch all of it as most of the time I was covering my eyes with the pillow so even if you ask me what is the movie about, I can only tell you the same sentence as how I describe it earlier

*cant wait for my hair to grow long

This is my story...

Oh no!! Internet gone chaotic after I log off

Oh wells, I am back to the practice of typing my blog post in microsoft word and PASTE PASTE PASTE !!!

And YAE feel happy for me hehe :P

Because SUE RECOVERED!!!! And most importantly, UNDER MY CARE!!!

Hahha ok la, don’t exaggerate, the clerk in the school cooked her plain porridge and she was so weak that I got to feed her spoon by spoon

Blow~~ mum mum~~ HAHA

Her appetite was bad and I got to cover the quilt blanket on her over and over as she kept tossing and turning on the bed HAHAHA

Felt tired to be a nanny but all things were worth while J

I feel so good as a friend, although sometimes I feel like really a slave but I told myself, I am doing it good HAHA

I AM A NICE PERSON hehe

She is still having some headache, backpain sore throat etc

The clerk visited us in the morning and forced me to eat the porridge as she said I was so skinny -.-

Ate and it sucks… oh, no taste! Sue was like “now you know how I feel right?”

When the clerk went to the toilet, I quickly poured the porridge from my bowl into sue’s container as she wont be going to school and I was running late and porridge was so hot and the clerk gave me so much

Ate porridge for lunch cos I pity sue, yeah I felt bad to eat nice food in front of her so haha eat porridge with her, motivate her to eat more haha

She was so sweet to wait for me to come back and eat with her, I fed her and den ate some hahah

Really tasteless!

Went hungry hungry and ate china bing (fried biscuit) something like roti prata crispy cool~

Sue told me that I don’t have to feel bad so she asked me to eat chicken

Hahah really? I feel bad but thank you cos I really need CHICKEN!!!!!!!!

Woots~!

Helped sue to dry her hair hahaha I feel so qualified to be a hairdresser, besides drying, I did straightening and curling hehe

Weather is getting cold cold cold!!!!!!!!!!

I was shivering in the morning, I wore three layers oh no!

Woo hoo~

Heard that its gonna be 8 to 10 degree

HAHA YAE I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! But when you really experience it, no joke ok? Its really cold!

I miss my friends so much!!!

And Nicholas, ur blog really very BLOGISH -.- hahahahaha

Hehe this guy is going to treat me ice cream and papa fel promised me to fill my stomach with sg’s delicacies when I get back

And my dear brother in Christ was really so sweet to tell me that he will come to pick me up when I depart from China

Omg, very touched you know, you are like the first person to tell me that hahaha but my parents coming, you sure? Actually he said he don’t mind…. Ooooo k HAHAHA

I miss singing Church’s songs

I really need to go K-box to let all out when I get back to Singapore, desperately!

This is my story...

ok i guess i got many many of the things to blog right?

ok last last week, i came back from a cruise trip!
oh gosh!
CRUISE WAS SHIT!
CHINA CRUISE? booooo hoo hoo!!!

i am really lazy to describe everything but just showing you guys all the pics i had taken and den continue to talk abt it? alright?
we went to the "attic" level of the cruise at night, thats why no pictures as it was pitch dark
i was like "omg omg omg, i am on a cruise!!!!" tears filled eyes but omg, i was not dreaming
yes indeed i wasnt, but cruise was indeed a night mare, you guys will know why when i explain

this is the journey we had, its very long which is why i cant take it clearly

going to BAI DI CHENG and passing by the three gorges dam :)

this is where meals will be held

(horrible organisation i shld say, although it looks nice but when this place is filled with ppl, NO COMMENTS)

this picture and the one above is known as their club place, which is really "idk how to say"

even when we are in our cabins, we can hear them singing, some in tune, some really off

MY CABIN ROOM NUMBER!!!

ok, this is kaisheng who happens to be in the picture when i was trying to take the corridor

kaisheng tried to input a cigarette stick to my rabbie

so naughty!!!!!! bad rabbit!

THIS.IS.OUR.CABIN

(forgot to mention, the bed is actually slanted, cos its in a cruise - dont know how many stars, when we lie down, our heads are low than our body which is not good for our blood circulation which explains why i got headache after the cruise, plus seasick and motion sickness)

Day 2 on cruise :

this was breakfast. how horrible when i found out that the only edible food there was egg -.-

salted egg, oily fried egg (sue was so sweet to get it for me), hard boiled eggs can be more trusted and diluted orange juice but better than nothing

gosh HORRIBLE!

spotted a catfish so i took this for fun!

had some scenes taken, gosh i wish day 3 will pass faster and sooner!!!!

some unglam shots which i got myself prepared for :

this is sunita :)

this is daryl :)

and the joker kaisheng was obviously the camera man

Day 3

this was the last day when it was raining and i fell down while climbing the mountains

luckily i fell on a perfectly on the platform, not this picture below but while going down some stairs

leaving a red mark on my back, huge swollen blueblack on my right palm and my jeans and shirt, absorbed CHINA MUD

argh!!!!! gosh, how unlucky

if you guys didnt know, i nearly fainted on the second day while climbing the mountain halfway

i was so afraid as this was my first time seeing stars, once i close my eyes, the feeling of falling back is really tempting and so i decided to give my favourite mountain climbing a miss

SAD! my favourite mountain talking abt the romance of the three kingdoms, i miss it just like this

legs were weak, head was spinning badly

wonder what was wrong with me

In summary :

1) food was horrible for all breakfast, lunch and dinner

2) the weather was so cold but i dont blame it

3) the bed is slanted bad for humans like me to sleep, sleep to have headache

4) sea sick to realise it since then

5) we got to pay money to visit certain places which is nonsense, school was budgeting on cost

HORRIBLE, HORRIFYING, HORRENDOUS...

after cruise, i was sick, weak, cant move, weak legs dragged to school

bad and low appetite, eyes closing most of the time, slept for two days to get better

Thank God I am fine :)

thats all for today

This is my story...

The most Beautiful and Wonderous Dream ever
i had a dream~
a super cool dream
a dream that i wish i could live like this ever
my dad took me to a place looked somehow like GreatWorld shopping mall
and bought me this ticket to catch a Cinderella performance worth of $16 000 plus
gosh mann!!!
while waiting for the performance, we went to shop
he was so enthusiastic in wanting to buy me a Hello Kitty bag worth $365
and also a sweater
TOO MUCH DADDY!!!!! too expensive and too pampered haha
sigh, it was a dream!

had Global Logistics Management test
and sue is really not feeling well
she shivered badly this morning, and now with back pain, headache and stomache
omg, how i wish i can really just, you know? like switch bodies, seeing her suffering and sometimes on the verge to cry
i really dont know how to help her
lent her my jacket, followed her to see the CHINA doctor
fed her medicine and dinner
thinking if i shld go to school tmr
it wont be good to leave her alone in the hotel right?

and people people, dont know why but my facebook is not working so i cant check anything
sorry, just email me ok?

time to be a nanny, a 24/7 one

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

This is my story...

Always be contented with what you have

(money, friends, beauty, egoism, facilities and people in your life)

nothing happened, just came across this thought

melody, i believed ur tests finished?

jo, when are ur A'levels?

nich, ni hao ma?

maisie, i miss you!!

omg so many people to say too long the list

everyone ok anot?

so i shall continue from my friday story, this post is abt sunday, saturday is below :)

SUNDAY, WE DID SPRING CLEANING!

omg, still cant believe, i had the strength to lift up the bed, of course not alone but with kaisheng

and the strength to fight the opposite force when you try to slide the vacuum cleaner against the carpeted ground

the smart thinking system of packing the hotel

the stretching body to perform "taichi" moves while wiping their wide wide toilet mirror (left to right to left to right)

ok, ever since the rat incident, sue and i (especially) were so terrified that we decided to borrow a vacuum cleaner from the lectuer to clean both our room and the guys'

ate lunch and tied a bun and LETS GO!

first, we packed and wrapped our bedsheets into balls, this reminds me of my ritz carlton job, rolling table cloths into balls, i am good at this mann hehe

lift up the heavy mattress, lift up the bedframe and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM

~~~vacuum vacuum vacuum~~~

suck suck suck, SUCK THEM ALL, hahaha i meant the dust

everyone was like staring at me with that stick rolling across the floor HAHA

and one thing i know : there is nothing suspicious under my bed, so the rat did not come from there HOOO!

next is sue's bed, she did helped a little but i dont know why i love to vacuum so i helped too

OMG just say we both did domestic work

lifted up her mattress and bedframe, thank you so much kaisheng

~~~vacuum vacuum vacuum~~~

suck suck suck, SUCK THEM ALL

eh? nothing suspicious too, OMG den where did the rat come from?

seee-riiii-usssss-leeeeeeee

wanted to help the guys vacuum but they insist, saying "how can let girls do the work?"

OK LORH, DEN YOU SLOWLY VACUUM LORH, we girls go clean toilet alr

before cleaning toilet, sue and i were wiping cabinets and wooden objects lol

reminds me of ritz carlton again, half of the cloth to be wet, half to be dry, this is how to wipe wine glasses, as well as furnitures

wet it, den dry it

(omg i am like having a "how to be housewife" session here) HAHAHA

sue took a picture of me cleaning the side table HAHA

i said we should take, who knows who dont believe that i really did some hotel chores

next is toilet

!!! SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH !!!

sue scrubbed the floor, haish, so poor thing

and me, cleaning the basin with my taichi moves on the mirror

now toilet is clean and clean and nothing but clean

we also aligned the beds, really like hotel standards mann

i think we are more certified than the cleaners there mann, so proud of myself hehe

waited till 5pm to meet out with the guys and head off to WUHAN TIANDI

there have bars, eateries and cool restaurants

sad to say, most of them served chinese food when our craves were western

sigh, take thai food lorh

had another small snack - FRIED SWEET POTATO at some chicken stall HAHA
it was so nice that i forgot to take photo, so sorry people HAHA

surprisingly their Haagen Daz is more expensive than singapore so we went to try their Baskin robbins

hehe sue and i have same ice cream taste : chocolate, cookies and cream, oreo, chocolate chips
when i said my order, i didnt know how to pronounce the chinese ice cream dish so i said it in english
and the people thought we were from some western country HAHA
they tried their best to speak english to me.. woo i fe so COOLYO~!
i get to feel to be Western-Asian for once :P

we shared chocolate and cookies & cream

chill~~

went to a "last-minute-decided" place - night market to get sue's zippo fuel

we tried to take their train OMG IT WAS SO COOL

the train is as clean as singapore's and has a TV haha

their tickets have to be purchased at a ticket machine (omg yeah like DUH~!, where else besides the ticket machine)

and the entrance is not ticket but a PLASTIC COIN, its blue in colour

like casino coin you know, yes

so in order to get to the train platform, you got to scan the coin to get thru and when you alight to ur stop, you got to slot the coin into a hole once you reach ur station

AND

i ate quail eggs, it was soo soo nice you know yummy

its like half boiled eggs, its only 3rmb = 60 cents for one stick of five (cut into half)

so its like 2 and a half eggs haiyah but main point is NICE

This is my story...

It has been a month for me to be in China

went on a trip to the China's wholesales place
its super big
its like big shopping malls, have directions like "taipei road", "beijing road" etc
it was so big to an extent they had to use province names to name their shopping centre
and you know what?
NOTHING NICE AT ALL THERE
all china dressing ahaha

we explored ard but found nothing, didnt buy anything
when we were walking to a bus stop which we had no idea where it was, random walking
we found a bag store, selling all kinds of bags
i need a bag as i feel that my lugguage wont be enough for me to contain the china stuff that i bought
yeah, my friends had a debate over auntie bag (ok la, put it nicer, tai tai bag) and apple bag
they even asked me to get a winnie the pooh bag HAHA i was like giving sue the innocent face and rolling the lugguage back and forth, OK MAIN POINT IS i dont like and i dont want HAHAHA
in the end i got the bag which i am going to show you all later, not really nice but anyone can use it :)

WE WENT TO A TOILET RESTAURANT
it was a very very cool cool place :)
** they dont sell shit!
seats were like tolietbowls, pipelines as designs, basins under tables, one of the places in the restaurant looked like a spa room
and there is a small playing "gambling" look alike machine on the table, dont know to describe
slot in one rmb and you will get to know ur fortune and life
sue tried and kaisheng and i tried our best to translate for her, HAHA so funny at how we twist chinese words
i ordered pork ramen and this is it

its nice Japanese soup :)

OISHI! ITADAKIMASU~

this is darrel's dish, i find the soup cup cool, like a yellow toiletbowl

NIGHT MARKET !!!

top left dark blue bag : 45 rmb =$9

top right --- bag : 30rmb = $6

SPIKEY DARK BLUE HAIRBAND : 12rmb = $2 plus (cheaper than sue's hehe)

[this kind of hairband sells $10 to $20 plus in sg blogshop]

spike bracelet : 35rmb, bargain to 30rmb = $6 (haha save one dollar but better than nothing, thank you kaisheng for helping)

[this studded/spike bracelet sell for $15 in blogshop]

I finally got my spike hairband!!!!

and spike bracelet

dont they come in a pair?

hahah self-defense usuage!

i spent the most compared to my friends that day

I LOVE MYSELF SO MUCH :)

This is my story...

I survived ONE MONTH in China without GREEN TEA

hi people.. gosh i am too busy to blog abt my days and hours and days
oh wells, ok so i guess i stopped from my test part
ok la, actually ever since that test onwards, the other days and hours were SUPER SIAN to me
want to know why?
this is becos my heart after the test has been prepared to move on to the "CELEBRATION-AFTER-TEST" mood
and so, at night we bought our cool food, but sadly mind was just filling - macs
fries wasnt nice and we watched the HITCH movie

well, celebration wasnt enough after all and soooooooo, we have celebration ROUND 2 on thursday night
Pauline our lecturer, invited us to her apartment
and happened that we ordered KFC delivery after we came back from Walmart
oh and come on, the delivery charge was only like 8 rmb = $1 plus, you know, YOU KNOW?
how cool but sad to say, the chicken that they provide is so small, like 5 times smaller than singapore's cripsy KFC neh!
"chilled" at Pauline's place and watched Transformer, i am so not fated to watch these kind haha robot shows, i prefer Avengers more
Pauline asked us to try a liquor, named Baileys
omg, its milk tea colour, it tasted like milk tea but the alcohol taste after swallowing it makes my face squeezed tgt, yucks..... me no fated with liquor

friday, our china friends, Star, Wenjing and Dream wanted to bring us out hehe
called the HanKou
surprisingly, we went there alr
Star and Sue exchanged cigarettes, ahah the china VS singapore cigarette
and conclusion was they preferred their own cigarettes
ok, why am i even talking abt this, ok so thing was we went to walk around like to try small eateries
I ATE CHICKEN!!!
hehe and they treated us this sweet sweet dessert, like ice kachang yeah
Wenjing introduced her friend to us, she called herself Angela baby
and she is famous as she is like a "youtuber" who post videos abt argumentative topics and scold or comment, making jokes and all
her jokes could even make the waitress who served us laugh
we ate HOT POT food and all ordered beer
i was like stunned hahaha, didnt know china ppl were gd drinkers as well
luckily, dream wanted sprite and so i ordered sprite with her
and for the first time, i tried LAMB RIBS

had a walk and Dream bought both me and sue a ring
hahaha China ring
had a walk in Night Market woo and i bought a pair of (i got to admit louder) FAKE CHANELS earrings
HAHAHAHA for like $2 yes
had a hard time to get a taxi
suddenly, there was this big truck, spraying dont know what WATER OR GAS i dont know
but everyone who were standing at the roadside starting screaming and running
we followed and OH I SEE, this truck is actually spraying water to clean the road -.-
HAHAHAHA typical singaporeans, we see and we just follow without knowing what is going on
it was late and the worse thing was Star and friends were kinda locked outside of sch as their gates closed at 11pm OMG we reached back at midnight
sigh, we were thinking of bribing the security guards, meanwhile showing them our rooms
they were envious much, and we actually thought of asking them to stayover in our rooms but they insisted
haiyah insist and insist until OUR HOTEL SECURITY GUARD TOLD US HE IS GOING TO LOCK THE HOTEL ENTRANCE
omg, what a gg, anyway it wasnt their first time out and they said they were going to sing k, in the end they booked a nearby hotel for a night for 100RMB which is like only $20 HOW CHEAP SIA
but i felt so bad, you know 100RMB means alot to china ppl?
they will take and check if its real, yeah

-ok end my story here first-

This is my story...

the feeling when you cried and shouted for help continuously

BUT the people around you heard it, but didnt listen
