Aunties in the making..

Think Sharon and i are slowly evolving to be aunties.

When we go supermaket, we will compare the quantity and prices of each brand and buy the cheapest one.

Even the way we bargain also super auntie..

The other time we were buying body foam. We happily got 1 that is very cheap and comes with a free 500ml refill. It is only when we are home then we realised, we only got 2 more months so it is not possible to finish them. We see got free thing so just buy..

Cooking is fun!!

Enjoy searching random recipes and trying them out.

Shall cook more when go back Singapore, i think i make a good cook!

Yummyyyy

Curry!!

Hengwei came and went over the weekend. He brought lots of curry powder for us!! I can't wait to cook them, waaahaa.. Was expecting him to bring like only 1 packet but he brought a whole bag of it. Happyyyy..

Went to Zhujiajiao and it is a whole weekend of eating, eating and more eating.

I totally love the Xiao Yang Sheng Jian Bao, it is heavenly. The soup is fantastic and the crust is perfect. Brought both Hengwei and Gerald to eat them when they were here and they love it too! That is probably one of the few food i will miss when i go back to Singapore.

Had fun with Hengwei, all the stupid things we do and the jokes that probably only singaporeans will laugh at. Stupid Hengwei wearing our bunnies, haha..

Next up, Jietong!! She come over on the 11th June!! WAhahaaaa!! Can't wait!!

Puzzled..

I am EXTREMELY puzzled..

Holes have been appearing on my jeans.

When the first one appeared, i thought maybe i scratched it, it is not too visible so i ignored it.

When the second one appear, a larger and obvious one, i was wondering is it acid corrosion when i work in the lab. I work with very concentrated sulphuric acid quite often and they tend to even corrode the needles i use to contain them, so i thought it is due to that.

When the final one appeared, a HUGE one! It is located at the inner thigh, near my butt, so i doubt the acid will get there, i have no idea why it happened. And they are all located on the left side.

Now i can't wear ths jeans anymore, it is probably about 1 year from Uniqlo not some weird China brand, boooo...

Need to waste money buying new one.. =(

I'm loving it!

I like my hair!!

Straighten my hair again! Although it is only slightly cheaper than in Singapore, i think it is worth it! Cause i like it alot, was very scared that it will be very flat, but its not and quite naturally! Think most people can't really tell it was straighten.

The hair dresser is quite good, the assistant who did the whole process is equally good as well!

Need some time to get use to my hair being down though, too used to tying them all the time..

Nanjing!

Just came back from Nanjing!

Nanjing is horrible, at least those part that i see of Nanjing is horrible. The traffic is crazyy. Jam everywhere. And there are people EVERYWHERE. But maybe it is just because the places we went are tourist places, hence it is crowded.

We went to 5 places. But not alot of pictures taken because alot of places cannot take pictures.

The first one is the Sun Yat-Sen burial place. It is amazing how they plan that place and how much the people respect him. The trees all around the place where made to all branch at the same height in a very neat way so as to represent soldiers guarding the place. The number of steps leading to the top is 392. It is speculated to represent the number of emperor in the chinese history and Sun Yat-Sun was the one who overthrew the whole system. So it is saying that by walking on the steps, you are walking on their heads. There are alot of other minor details that they considered when building the place.

The second place is the Zhu Yuan Zhang burial place. Cant remember much about the place. The guide just mentioned alot about the china history things. Think his history really very zai.

After that we went fu zi miao. Is like a night market. The place is super super crowded. And we are only given about 1h. Didnt have time to walk around anyway. But shar did a stamp thing for her brother. I think i beginning to be very auntie when i bargain, cannot take it.

Then, we went to our hotel. The hotel is GOOD. Is those one night about 400RMB kind, normally the ones we stay is only 60RMB. We damn comical and very sua ku when we went in. The hotel room have a computer too! And cable tv! AND water bed! haha, can sleep on soft bed for once after 3 months. But shar and i very anti-social, we stayed in the room to nua instead of going out.

The next day, we went to the Nanjing da tu sa memorial place. It is a pity. The place is huge. But it is very crowded as usual and the guards keep chasing us to be faster even before we can read anything. And worst of all, we are only given 1h and after rushing through, we have only seen like 25% of it. But it is sad the way the japanese went against the international treaty and killed the civilians like that. The rape cases are also crazy, some prettier girls are raped like 40 over times at 1 go. Some even have things stuffed up their vaginas, those people are crazy.

After that we went to the Zhong Tong Fu, the president place. Very crowded too. And raining. And it is the usual history things.

But the good thing about this trip is that it is fully paid for. I didnt have to pay a single cent, so shiok. Also get to learn the history about china, much better than reading any textbooks. Bought a book titled "Raped of Nanking" few days back, shall go read and learn more when i am done with the current book.

3 day work week!

Love the long weekends. Only got 3 days to work this week!

My phosphoric acid finally arrived today, means i got things to do!! Going to run 2 experiments tomorrow!

Got plenty of things to keep me occupied today as well. Typed a very long email, the longest email i have ever typed so far. Awaiting reply.

Oh, the job i want at CAG is gone!! Boohooooo...

Back from Anji!

Been to lazy and tired to blog. Nothing exciting in my life too.

Just came back from Anji County, a ulu part of Hangzhou and we went to the very ulu part of Anji so conclusion is we went to a very ulu place.

This is the trip where i ate the most motion sickness pills, the most snacks, spent most time sleeping, spent most time waiting and took the most bus rides.

Not to mention, i went to the various horrible toilets in China. Although they are not as bad as those toilets in Huashan where it is jus a hole, they are still BAD.

The first one we went to is without doors. And the toilet bowl is a long drain that shared by a whole row of cubicles, so don't be surprised to see whatever the person next door release float by you.

Second one, hmmm, in a way better because got doors. Same toilet bowl system. But the cubicle doors/walls is till your wasit only. So can you imagine how weird it is.

But we have no choice.
