19th Nov

蓝宝罗 has fallen. Just after about 2 months. Super sad, we thought of visiting it today de, then maybe next Tuesday also, as we have the Tuesday VIP card… TOO BAD, it went burst… LOL! The turnover at this 十全街 is really high and scarily fast. Just when we thought it was doing okay, there it goes. Now we have no more place for western at unbelievably low prices.

OMG! I can't believe I have to endure something else that is so inconsiderate. Not onli did I try to sleep b4 my roommate does because of his snores, I tolerates with his occasional musical talent to drum on the table and sing at 3am in the morning. But now, he got something new!!! He got a new hobby, a game that requires constant clicking like the minesweeper on all your computers… So now even if I go to bed b4 him, I have to face the challenge of getting asleep with CC (constant clicking) sound. This is something one must be considerate with, not something that requires another person to tell. It would be weird of me to go tell him to not to snore or not to play game. I mean snore cannot control la, I fully understand that. I dun blame anyone for this. But the clicking… CONCLUSION: Inconsiderate.

23rd Nov (Mon)

Ate sushi at the 后庄 last Sat. Not that we first time eat this sushi. But it is the first time we ate there. Because whether was good and the lady boss invited us to eat there. Shall take pictures there before we go back SG. We are going back there on tmr, made a reservation somemore… haha. Went to 观前 for McDonald this afternoon, after doing McDonald ethics project for the last few days. Had the 15Yuan lunch, it is 1000calories… hahaz. After that, finally get to eat the Portuguese eggtarts that I dreamt of the other day. HAHAZ. What a pleasure. LOL. Went on to Aushang supermart, seriously, I always buy like nobody's business when I go supermart. Things are like super cheap if converted to SGD. Then so appealing. Always end up spending at least 100Yuan. It is now less than 50 Days to Jan 10,2010. My birthday, also the day I step foot on Singapore ground…

17th Nov

Woke up early this morning. Actually is Net, woke me up at the door. Went to 观前 with Net, Feng and SPYeo to have breakfast. We had Big Breakfast, it was not as big as the Sg one, but was also cheaper, 16Yuan, about 3 plus Sgd. After Mac, we went on to KFC for its breakfast too. Century Egg Duck Porridge and some tarts, spent some time there before cabbing back to hostel. Super cold today. Temp: Indoors: 2-4 degree, Out doors: lowest -3 Degree. Cloths were difficult to dry, hand were super cold. Feng even got a frostbite on her toes. It is going to get colder, it means we may not be leaving the hostel as often, although out often now is already not that often…

18th Nov

Ok, I realize as the temp declines, I sleep later into the afternoon, like about 1.30pm, 2.30pm. I seriously CAN sleep. This is the so-called hibernation… Just dun feel like waking up from the cozy blanket… Went for erm…. Lunch Dinner combined at about 2pm. Brought 鸡排(something like the shilin ye shi in SG) and sushi. The sushi lady chatted with us while the guy makes our sushi. We told her that we will only be here for about 2 more months, we are on an exchange prog, she looks sad. She thought we were the normal students who stay here for at least 4 yrs. She looks cute and cuter when she is sad… LOL! Aside from that, she was really very nice. This she is , sakura, Ms .

Feng and Net just asked me about my blog… LOL. Yes, I blogged. Like talking about random stuff, like a diary. To record bits and pieces happened in China. Cuz things are really monotonous when we do not have lessons, sometimes I forget what day it is. To somehow rmb this trip. Also to let my family know my status. And some friends who are concerned.

Feng and Net was like saying, I may have more visitors than I thought…

Well, I welcomed anybody to read my blog, I mean since it is on the Net and I did not label it personal, anyone can. What I wrote or a better word, typed out, is what I am experiencing. Lol. I am saying, what I wrote was what I thought was fair, it is up to one to determine whether to take it or not… Dun quote anything back to me… Cuz I can't go to blogger, all the posts are send to the blog via email. Not editable, at least not when I am in China.

Read by all means, just dun quote me. Thanks. Anyway even if you did, I actually dun care la, just don wan any complications. Pls… Being friendly here. Take it as a story if it is not pleasing to you. With regards to My anonymous readers.

27th & 28th & 29th Oct

Stayed in most of the time to do the 商务谈判 report. Went to visit a company on Wednesday, 商务谈判 teacher organized de. Took cab to the office in Suzhou Industrial Park, 27 Yuan. The person just gave us a background of the company, even our teacher not there. Kinda meaningless… Net, Feng and I went to RT-Mart to shop. Brought some tissues and snacks.

30th Oct & 31st Oct

The last days of October. 31st is Ken's birthday. We actually thought of celebrating with him, treat him to 蓝宝锣. But they already have date. LOL! The guys already planned to go to a Taiwan gal's place for the weekend. So 3 of them went. They left on the 30th evening. Actually, I felt so much better without my roommate. LOL! See him only makes me irritated. He's gone, I 乐得清闲。The蓝宝锣 plan was still on, just without them lol. 好心没好报。Lol, or should say his is not fated to enjoy this birthday meal that was supposed to be on us…

1st Nov

Today, since we are very free. Net, Feng and I decided to take bus and go somewhere further. Took a bus outside the sch, thought it would go very far, but I think we are just nearby. Anyway, after transiting to another bus, we managed to find a place where local shop. The more "lock kock" place. Was a nice experience! Brought a jacket there, 139yuan.

2nd Nov (Mon)

Today's temperature was GODLIKE! Super duper cold. Lowest at 6 degree Celsius. It was like OMG! Wind very big somemore. Went out to buy food, hands were numb. Lucky saw a roadside stall sells gloves. Brought 1 at 8yuan. She very funny de loh. Saw her sell to a guy before me at price that gives changes for 10yuan. Then when I ask her, she quote 12yuan. LOL! I was like…… You sell him XX, you tell me 12… actually I did not see how much the previous transaction but saw it was below 10 as 10yuan still got change ma. Then she ps, then say ok lah, sell you the price the other guy got lo… hahaz

 

3rd Nov

Utilities bill for Oct is out. 100yuan. So 50yuan spent. Net withdraw money le… I am finally 'rich' again. After days running on negatives… cleared all my debts with net and feng. Lost my thick socks. I put the socks together with my clothing into the wash, then when I go back for it, my clothings were on top of the machine (very common, as there are only 8 machines, then if the clothes are done washing, others will put it on top while they use). But my socks are nowhere to be found. I only brought 2 pairs of thick socks, the other 2 are the thin thin one, not suitable for the cold weather le… shit the man.

4th nov

Had 蓝宝罗 with the clique without the one I dislike. Seriously enjoy the meal, because HE is not there. Kinda super sick and irritated by my seriously irritating roommate. I seriously doubt that he is even a human lo. Today he seriously gone WAY OVERBOARD! Why I so anti him? 1stly, super dirty guy, leaves residue in the toilet! I shall not elaborate… I am disgusted! Then 2 night b4, I went to slp early, I was awaken by some singing and drumming! YES! He was doing that, sitting in front of him laptop singing and drumming on the table. I thought it was still early cuz I slept quite early, but upon looking at the time on my i-pod. 3.45am! Fuk him, can he be more inconsiderate than this? I really wonder if he is possessed… Not only he snore but now this! What have I done to deserve this? Super ironic thing is that b4 we came he ask me if I snore, I said no and throw him the same Q. His answer then was a COMPLETE LIE! He SNORES LIKE NOBODY BUSINESS! But I was understanding, did not tell him about his snores as it is not something that he can control. I quietly went to buy earplugs and try to always sleep before he does. And if I wake up b4 him, I would try to make as little noise as possible. But his actions, really make me wonder, am I being TOO considerate to someone who doesn't deserve it? Now the trigger point!

On the 26th Oct, there was an unhappy event. At that time, the mineral water that I ordered at the Karaoke. The bottle of water which I forgot to take, net brought it back to the hostel for me and ask him to bring it to the room and pass to me (as a kind of apology). He left the bottle on top of the small fridge, neither apologies nor tell me it was mine. So I did not take the bottle but just left it standing on the fridge. Today, it was finished and was threw into the bin! It let me to think, what right does he have to drink that bottle? Wasn't it mine in the first place? Is he trying to 示威 to me! Because it was him who brought it into the room, and did not tell me it's mine (but net told me, so I know it is mine). So I just left it standing there as it wouldn't be very right for me to take it but I expect him not to as well. It was something like a 定海神针, but he choose to pluck this定海神针 and disrupt the peace. SERIOUSLY, WHAT RIGHT DOES HE HAVE TO DRINK THAT BOTTLE OF WATER! In what mind, did he took that water?

So he feels very proud after drinking MY bottle of water. Seriously, he is like 25 years old, but does not have the character that a 25 should have. PMS easily, does not think for other people, inconsiderate. Never consider consequences.

I wanted to switch room. ShiPing also wants. So he went to speak to the idiot in my room. But he decline. He is really sick lo. Relationship with me already so bad, sp ask him to switch cuz of sp's prob he also refuse! I seriously dun understand what this kinda people is thinking. Impossible for me to understand.

5th Nov

Had sushi for lunch. Some dumplings for dinner.

The movie lesson today, saw a show on bicycle, Beijing bicycle. About a buy from the rural area who went to Beijing to work. He works for a fedex kinda firm. Got him a bike, with pay deduction scheme. But he lost his bike. It revolves around him, finding his bike and very treasure the bike. A sad show. Singaporeans really very good life. Bike anytime want just buy…

After dinner, Net, feng and I met 小宝 our Laos friend at the school mart. We chatted at the hostel entrance. Then later a Japanese lady joined us. Talk for about 2 plus hours in the cold. Haha. Another Japanese friend, Yuko. We even suggested to go for a jap buffet together here someday. Super steady. But she thought we were locals, as in China. Then the buffet is about 100 yuan, she worry the cost for us… hahaz. The price is okay for us ba, much cheaper compared to Sg. But for her is super cheap, as Japan, even normal cup noodles cost more then 3SGD each.

Friend count: bobby, 小宝,袁开,Yuko, Steven, Issac, shiquan, yuggi. Some Laos, cannot rmb the names le…

7th Nov - Went deposit money into the bank account.

10th Nov � Went on a fruit spree. Lol, brought 30 yuan worth of fruit with Net and Feng. LOL, the fruit auntie must be super happy… treat us to some small fruits somemore.

11th Nov

Today is Business Negotiation Exam. I seriously am going to flop this paper. 5 questions, 10marks each, the 2 case studies, 25 marks each. I spent too much time on the first few questions. LOL. Thought that there is a lot of time left, I still draw lines to write, as the teacher gave blank paper, without lines. I spent 80% of the time on 40% of the marks… When the teacher say last 5 minutes, I just started on one of the case study. I was like SHIT! At last, I took an extra time of 15 mins, I gave up. Worst paper in my poly life. Feel kinda cheated into coming China. LOL! Say what results sure improve, I dun DEPROVE already 谢天谢地。After the lesson went have lunch with Net and Feng. Brought many pair of socks at a local shopping place…

Seriously, it is clearly visible that there are 2 cliques le. The group haven't have lunch or anything together for quite a period of time le. The other clique dam weird. All actors… I shall not further comment. NOMB, None of my business… Today it is kinda cold here. Fingers kinda freezed. BOOMZ, Shingz… LOL! I am updated.

13th & 14th Nov

Lesson boring. Temperature record low, 6 degree. The walk to the lecture hall is hell, although it is only a few hundred meters away… After the afternoon lesson, went to supermart with Net and Feng. I brought 100 plus yuan worth of FOOD! Netto says must stock up, as winter we will not go mart often… Brought some fried and bbq chicken to go back hostel eat. Waited for cab outside the mart for dam long. The locals dun Q lo, go before us to cab. But there was no cab, then they went away. Waited for about 30 minutes, I felt it was about 30 mins, maybe less, cuz too cold, my time concept may be wrong. Haha. We decided to walk to the other road to take cab, then a bike squeeze between me and a parked car. The metal poles that he was carrying cut my hand. IDIOT! Super pain, especially under such temperature, hand already semi-frozen. It left me a 5cm long scratch, with a cut. That person did not even horn la. In the end, we took bus back instead. Today is a bad day, coincidentally today it a Friday and is the 13th. LOL! Life is super boring sometimes, I spend this Saturday in the hostel watching dvd…

26th Oct (Mon)

This Monday onwards no more lesson… I went with the guys for lunch with 2 Taiwanese gals, went for Japanese food at 十全街.

After lunch, we went for K at 观前. Start at about 2 plus pm.

This session really makes me see clearly the character of some people. Proudly introduce to you my RoomMate, Jerry, the 霸道,小气,selfish, ungentlemanly, rude, NO EQ.

This session begins with Jerry, obviously a guy, hogging onto the mike. There are 6 of us in the room, but the songs are like 1 out of 2 are his. I actually don mind letting him sing la as I don really sing mah. But lynette and the others also wanna sing mah. Why he so selfish? Somemore keep skipping other's songs, as in keep moving his songs up to NEXT. LOL! Seriously selfish and 霸道. Nvm about the singing, we let him sing till he SONG! So he goes on singing then ok lo, I take pictures. My friends would know me, especially 06, people like Xiaoyan and lola. We go K always take picture one. So, I was taking picture NOT HIM IN PARTICULAR BUT EVERYBODY! I was sitting on the left-end while he sat on the right-end, the others between us. Of course I take picture in his direction to get everyone in the picture. He suddenly shout in the mike, (the mike almost never left his hand), "不要拍liao,ok! 不要拍liao,ok!" In a VERY RUDE & LOUD MANNER! I was in complete shock, I would have never expected that coming! Obviously from friends, even from an acquaintance that would not happened. So I assume that he did not treat me as friend? LOL! Anyway I dun care. Who is he to me? LOL, just another random person. Seriously, if that came from a friend, I would tell myself that this is not my friend. LOL! He thinks he STAR ah, his picture can fetch $$$. Keching keching keching. Pls, dun let me vomit. Somemore, he did not stop at that! Still keep muttering 一直拍,一直拍!LOL! PLS I have stop taking pictures as you requested, YOUR MAJESTY! EVEN TAKE OTHERS ALSO DUN DARE LE> DUN DARE TO TAKE PICTURES IN YOUR PRESENCES LE YOUR MAJESTY! Seriously FUCK HIM! Taking pictures is to capture some happy moments to remember, if you aren't happy with taking pictures. YOU SHOULD JOLLYWELL, STAY AT HOME! SHOULD NOT EVEN JOIN THIS PROGRAM. SIT ON YOUR MUM'S LAP AND CRY! So wrong to have had him in this program, he obviously cannot 和平相处 with people. SUPER Hegemonic. Take pictures also need his permission. WHAT A JOKE! I haven't been so angry for very long le. Nobody has been this rude to me for AWHILE. I seriously am impressed with myself that I did not confront him. Impressed by my own tolerance. But come to think of it, if I confronted him, it would surely result in a quarrel, or even worst he may start a fight.(this kinda person) LOL, I haven been fighting for years, level low ah, later lose how lol… We share a hostel and have to face each other for another 2 months… SAD! But seriously, he did not think of the consequences of shouting, NO EQ! If he wants to NOT BE IN MY PICTURE, he could have told me.  Is there a need to shout out rudely? NO! Obviously.

I left the room after 15 mins. Gave him enuf face le. Did not leave immediately. Went back to hostel alone. LUCKILY the other 4 members felt me. LOL! Somemore comment that I have handled it well by not confronting him. Hahaz. Something good in the NEGATIVE incident. Lol

I dun expect an apology from him, cuz I am dead sure he would not! If he talks to me, I would answer him but this kinda person, DUD!. I just have to bear with him for another 2 months plus. Afterwhich, he is getting out of my life. In this period of 2 months, I shall stay away from this idiot.敬而远之 Period.


8th Oct

Went to 印象城 with Net and Feng. Ate Burger King, the 14.5yuan meal… hahaz. Shop arnd, Walmart, etc. Brought a cap. The cashier forgot to remove the sensor from it and I walked out with the sensor on my cap… Then only after I use the carrier to put my walmart purchase then I realize the sensor. Lol. When I walked back into the shop, the alarm was triggered, it didn't sound when I leave earlier… Weird…The gym super expensive. Thought of going at first. But the prices…. Lol.

60 entries for 2,000yuan. Lol. About SGD400… about 7bucks per entry… that is super ex… especially in China where things are relatively cheap. Saw CRM teacher at manning, he did not see us…

Also brought some snacks from walmart. A doraemon snack, said on the box got stickers inside, but kanna cheated. China people always like to cheat ppl one… saw on the tv a lot of scammers… sell crab, tie very heavy string, 1 property deed can sell to many ppl…

After shopping, we tried walking back to hostel. But we walked a wrong direction, took more than an hour to walk back…

Today is a replacement day for last Thursday, 8th Oct. Lesson in the morning was boring. I got tummy ache then I left the class early, rush back to hostel to shit…

Went for lunch without Jerry. Ate at 十全街. A steak restaurant. It is quite cheap, a full meal with soup, bread, drink and fruit salad. Only about 5 to 9 SGD after the student discount of 32%. Hahaz, will definitely go back…

In the afternoon, went for lunch at 观前's PizzaHut (比胜客). Not very nice, quite expensive, a large pizza price of about SGD18. although cheaper then Sg, but super expensive in local context… the steak restaurant more value for money.

Today then I realize they dun charge Service Charge and GST. LOL!

23rd Oct

We thought that lesson in the afternoon will start this week, but no teacher was there at 2pm. So it should be starting next week ba. Jerry, Sp and Ken goes to 观前 to have their haircut. LOL! Wonder why they wanna go there? Sure Expensive de mah. We went for a walk while they have their haircut. When we go back in about an hour time, they were gone. Actually not that they were gone but, they were at lvl 2 of the salon. Thought that they went back, we walked back to hostel as well… Had the 麻辣烫,smelly tofu and 串串 for dinner. Jerry came back after awhile. Their hair had an expensive cut, especially SP, 270yuan. More then SGD50… LOL! We will be going to Wuxi tmr via train. Not excited… lol. Why should I be? Haven't do my Biz Nego assignment yet. DIE LE LAH!

 

24th Oct

Woke up at about 10am…The stupid deliveryman insisted on me collecting the stuff today at 1130. Shit him lo… Jerry, Ken and SP took bus to the train station while Net, Feng and I waited for the delivery before taking cab. The stupid cab uncle today also cheat us. He did not go by the meter but say 18yuan. LOL! He purposely cover the meter lo. Some people here are really getting on my nerves lo.

The train, 动车 is quite nice. We paid 18yuan inclusive of 5yuan service charge ba… for the ticket. Seats were comfortable, quite a nice experience.

When we reach Wuxi, we met Jerry's mum's ex-colleague who drove us on 2 cars to see some places in Wuxi. Went to see a huge standing Buddha in the hills, about 40+ meters ba. Saw 太湖 view. Magnificent. Lol.

Checked into a motel in the suburban area which is near the company of the hosts here. They brought us to see their factory and told us some background as well. Had dinner at about 6pm. OMG… Super hungry, cuz did not eat anything filling except some tidbits since morning. It was a restaurant by a pond. Quite ulu, if you are not a local, you would never go there. Most of the dishes originated from the pond itself. Fish, prawn, duck…are all reared in the pond. The host was very welcoming, they ordered a full table of food, many dishes. Now I finally get to feel the hospitality of the china people. B4 we came, our Chinese teacher told us about this before, and where to sit, must not finish the food (to show that host is very nice, order a lot till cannot finish). As for the sitting arrangement, I seriously forgotten… Then we just anyhow sit. Lol. As for the food, it was really too much that we can't finish. Fish Head (super big, 2 somemore), steamed egg with fish (I think this is the best), prawns(it is the pond prawn, very small, but taste good), frog (not bad, but the Singapore one better), pig nose(yes, the nose. I only took 1 piece, not very nice but not awful), beef in curry (too hard to chew), potato soup (Nice), pig stomach and intestine (speaking of this, I am missing the kway chap in Sg), veg � duomiao (quite nice), veg fried rice (something special), Meatball with bamboo shoots (I only took a meatball from this dish), 白斩鹅 (very hard, onli took 1 as well). That's all I remembered. It must have cost a bomb, but the host paid outside so we did not get to know the prices. After the meal, they brought us to the streets and brought us some bread for the following day. Seriously, they are too kind and we are getting pehsei. Hahaz. Got back to the motel and we walked to the supermart to buy them some gift. We brought them wine, 今生缘. 66yuan each. We brought 3, 1 for each of them. 2 of us shared 1. Also walked down to shop a little, saw a 2yuan shop, something like Daiso, but much smaller. Brought some ear-pin for Han NehNeh… Something that I perceive to be more expensive then 2 yuan. Hahaz. This night, after about 2 months, finally I managed to sleep on a bed. The hostel bed was just a mattress on the plank, not comfortable de. The hotel, although not very good one, but at least I like the bed… Super tired, turn in b4 11pm.

 

25th Oct

Woke up at 6plus brush up and got ready to depart. The host cannot accompany us today, therefore they help us booked a Wuxi 1 day tour. They drove us to somewhere near the train station, a tour agency. We paid 110yuan for the trip. 8am to 430pm. Here, we bid them farewell. The tour starts at CCTV Wuxi Movie & Tv Production Base (三国城,水浒城). The place where many films were produced, saw the 五大郎's home and 西门庆's shop… Saw the cibi, boats as well. Took 诸葛亮号, a boat, to view 太湖. (this cost an additional 15yuan). Took many pictures, but too bad, camera low batt thus did not take much after this place. Went to some place that sells things to tourists, 紫砂壶 and pearl. The person who sells紫砂壶 did not know that we are foreigners, he told the group say, the prices on the tags are for foreigners. The locals get a 50% discount… LOL! SO SCHEMING!

Later in the afternoon, we joined another group, our stupid irresponsible tour guide throw us the another guide. Went to this 太湖龟头island. Took a ferry to the island. From the ferry we can see the differences in height of the island really make it look like a tortoise.

A very long day. By the time, we got back to the train station it was 430. Had KFC before heading to the train station. The hosts brought the tickets for us. Seats were not together and was a lower class ticket, but difference only 1 yuan. We stood and waited for about an hour before boarding the train, as it was delayed. On the train, we can really see the difference between the 1 dollar. LOL! So much different as compared to the one we took the day b4. Seats were taken by some ahmas somemore. LOL! Ask them stand also not nice. End up, Ken and Sp were left standing. Seriously, I think maybe they did not buy ticket then just come onboard or brought a shorter trip ticket, lucky it was only a less than 30 mins ride.
