Back from Hainan Island. The feeling of being back is still very surreal, I have no idea why. But YES I'M BACK FROM CHINALAND. China people are really damn terrible cos they spit everywhere, push and shove, don't press the lift door open, block your way ALWAYS, and alot more. China is very dirty, there're no bins anywhere (unlike Singapore cos bins are EVERYWHERE), no one sweeps the streets and everywhere's filled with litter, and when it rains the water on the floor is BLACK.

Shopping isn't great as well, cos you see all their clothes and shoes wayyyyyyy too overdone. The shirts have weird sentences that don't make any sense, and the shoes have too much embellishments, jewels, many colours on one pair, and they're uncomfortable. Yet they still cost more than our average Singapore shoe! Goodness gracious me.

Alot of sellers are very good at faking, one old woman tried to sell this lady in my tour a bangle for RMB60 which is around S$12, but we bargained till it became 10 bangles for RMB50! Wth man. Which averages each bangle to be RMB5, which is S$1! Too cheap already. The shell bracelets are all RMB1, which is S$0.20. LOLOLOLOL. I bought damn alot of bracelets! HAHAH!!

AND OMG I FOUND MY FLIGHT OF FANCY MINIATURE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing could describe how elated I was man. OMG. I can't find it anywhere in Singapore! Shall take a photo of it soon. HAHA.

The places of interest we visited are all okok only, I only like the Jade Belt Beach, cos the beach is really long but narrow, one side of the beach was a river, and the other side is the sea! And this beach was formed naturally, not man-made at all. It's my favourite out of all the places we visited.

The weather was very hot when we were in Xinglong and Sanya. Whereas when we were in Haikou it always rained. Quite annoying cos we were trying to shop. There are many fake notes in China, everytime we received a note we gotta check if its real. How scary.

Hotel on the first day was okay, second day was by the lake, quite pretty! The bathroom was humongous, and there was a bathtub. Wanted to soak but it looked dirty so I immediately got rid of that idea. LOL. Third day's hotel was not too bad too, there was cable TV! Fourth day's hotel was TERRIBLE. It was super freaky!! I don't know how to explain, but once we stepped in there's a weird aura. My sister and I were so afraid we pushed our single beds together to sleep. LOL. The last day's hotel was DOPE SHIT. Wah lau, totally feels super high class. And the best thing of the room is that THERE IS A BOLSTER!!!!!! I can't sleep without something to hug one!! At all of the hotels I hugged the extra pillow plus my soft toy called Hammie, but how can a pillow be compared to a bolster?? HAHAHA I'm getting way too excited over a bolster.

We visited Bo Ao (the spelling looks like BoA! HAHA!) where the Jade Belt Beach was, Nan Shan Temple, where we saw the 3-faced Guanyin which was huge on the sea, visited Coconut Factory, Tea Factory, Coffee Factory, Silk Factory, and had my feet soaked and massaged!!! It was so shiok, till I fell asleep.

The food in Hainan Island is damn oily and damn salty. It's as if their oil and salt are free to add. It's so oily that no amount of water can wash it down your throat. Fortunately my gain in weight through all that oil is only 500grams. HAHAHA. I don't like eating chicken rice, but there really is Hainanese chicken rice there. My sister and parents all said the meat too tough, and Singapore's one is nicer. And the chilli sauce is tasteless. So yeah don't eat the Hainanese chicken rice there!

Don't like Hainan Island, seriously. Although it was cool to get away for a few days, I still missed home alot. It's a very old-people-go kind of place. Nothing young people could appreciate.

My purpose of getting the Trio bags is cos I wanted this one actually, at only 9.99USD. But the Trio was 19.99USD then of course get that right! But swee, it went OOS. So I got the Sexy Trio instead and that's 29.99USD lor... But still cheap for 3 bags! HAHAHA.

'Hi, hard disks for you, sir?'
'No.'

'Hi sir can I help?'
'I'm just browsing.'

'Can I know what's the difference between Maxtor OneTouch4 Mini & Seagate FreeAgent Go?'
'Okay sir, both has backup, synchronization and file encryption software, but OT4 Mini also has OS backup and password protection and FA does not have these 2.'

'Is this compatible with Mac?'
'No it's not, actually I have a FA Go Mac version, but sir I suggest you get the normal one cos it's cheaper and you can just format it to FAT32 yourself cos all our HDDs are pre-formatted to NTFS.'

'What's the spindle speed?'
'For the 2.5inch HDD it's 5400rpm and 3.5inch HDD it's 7200rpm.'

'IDE or SATA?'
'Our HDD all SATA HDD sir.'

'SATA 1 or SATA 2?'
'Seriously I don't know sir.'

'Sir which colour would you like for your HDD? Red is out of stock.'
'Can I see all the colours?'
'Sorry sir, some of the colours no display. Tell me which one you interested then I go inside and take.'

On the first day...
'Got any freebies?'
'There's a free pouch thrown in for the FreeAgent Go, and that's about all the freebies we have.'
'Okay I'll take one.'

On the last day...
'Got any freebies?'
'Actually we had a free pouch going with the FreeAgent Go, but all of it has since been given away.'
'I don't want already.'
OR
'Then you take a few dollars off it la.'
'Sorry sir I'm not boss la, if I boss I give you discount but I'm not leh.'
'But you look like a potential boss ma.'
'Ya but still, look like only also still not boss.'
(First time people say I look like boss with my kiddy looks. Greaaaaaaat.)

After talking to them for 5mins...
'Okay I'll think about it.'

I'm seriously SO DAMN SICK of explaining what's the difference between Maxtor OneTouch4 series, Maxtor Basics and Seagate FreeAgent series. I wonder how many hundreds of times I've repeated all the above lines. Probably at least 500 times, since I think I sold around 300 sets for 4 days, and maybe 200 people just come talk cock sing song to me only. Seriously that few dollars off really so essential meh? Already want the thing still keep asking for discount. Then want to wait till the last hour then buy. Swee lor no more free pouch then end up don't wanna buy.

Finally IT Show is over!!!!!! It's the most torturous and tiring 4 days since a long time. I think my legs felt particularly painful cos they probably haven't fully recovered since the angel heeled boots job. Needed mum to prepare hot water everyday for me to soak my legs as well as help me put Counterpain. Counterpain's my best friend!!!

And YAY I got myself a Macbook! :D :D :D :D :D It's the chioest thing ever. I got the aluminium one and it's damn sleek, the trackpad is uber cool cos the click button and the trackpad is built in together. And everything in the Macbook is just wayyyyy pretty.

So I went to school to get Mac Office installed in my Macbook. And crap got these 2 women who are darn irritating. They approached me and started preaching to me about how great God is. I'm not against Christianity, but I really hate these people who start preaching and have no regard that others also have their own religion that they believe in. I respect the fact that everyone has their own choice to believe in what they want, but apparently they're not respecting mine. And they kept bombarding me. Luckily Wk called if not I doubt I can ever get out of that shit. And seriously no offense to my Christian friends eh cos you all didn't do this to me. :D

And also yesterday, I saw an ugly sight of Singaporeans. I was on the bus near my house, my bus was in the bus stop and there was another bus in front. The bus in front kinda broke down, and there was a whole long queue of buses behind. So we couldn't reverse and move away. Then everyone in the bus started scolding the bus driver for not doing anything. One woman even said "He should get down and go behind to tell the buses to move!" but for goodness' sake, it was raining damn heavily and if nobody's going to lend him an umbrella, would he do it? Of course not what. Everyone kept reprimanding the bus driver. I felt kinda sorry for him. We were stuck there for about 15mins, and that woman said "actually late 5mins only, now late 20mins already!". Wah lau, if you never late in the first place you wouldn't get stuck what. Dumbass.

I'm supposed to be working 4 days for the Anti-Smoking Campaign right? LOL Dyn and I quit. After working 1 hour. LOLOLOLOL. Cos the people there, kept bossing us around. Told us to do work while they slacked and played around behind. Dyn couldn't take it anymore, she told the guy "Seriously even if you force me to stand there, I also won't work so might as well let me go?" and the guy said "Ok go lor.". So obviously both of us will leave together right. Then that guy shocked and he said "Huh... You both... Leaving together??". So I said "Of course lah, come together of course leave together what. All for one, one for all." And he said "But... How you expect me to tell boss?" and Dyn said "Now still got time, go find replacements" and we left. This guy really damn effed up. And the job also. Actually my sis was supposed to work for 1 day, but they texted her and told her not to work cos she only working 1 day, waste the slot. WTH man. Then they texted me to ask me find friends to work. So I found Dyn to work with me. And later on one other girl cannot work cos she injured and they told me to find other people to work again. But I couldn't find anyone. My sister's friend worked for 3 days before I started and she supposed to work for more days but she cannot take how lame and dumb the job is and she also quitted. Okay, the job scope is to ask people to come into our booth and we take a photo of them and edit their face to how they will look like when they're 60, if they smoke or don't smoke. No freebies = No Singaporean wanna entertain you. Another ugly side of Singaporeans, really. And that stupid guy he's not like some hot good looking guy or what, then he still commented on us when we were working for the angel heeled boots job when we first arrived and said "Huh this kind of people also can be angel". Like wth lor. I also not say very ugly or hideous. Neither is my sister or her friend. Asshole.

Wow my rantings is kinda long... LOL. Okay, will blog something with pictures soon. This blog has seen nothing colourful since a million years ago. And Adium (MSN for Mac) is damn cute. When I'm online, the dock icon's eyes will open and when I'm offline the eyes will close! Damn cute man. :D

Omg HAHA I know I haven't been blogging for more than a month but seriously, I don't even have the feel to click on the Blogger bookmark on my Firefox shortcuts. But okay, decided that maybe I should blog like, a bit before I totally abandon this blog.

It's been an eventful 1 month plus, cos wow, 4 months already. :D And it's not cos I'm attached that makes me too busy to blog, just no feel ok!!! HAHA. We visited many places and gone on loads of movies and nice dinners. Just really happy. :D

I think (and hope) I have finally graduated from this grueling and excruciating 3 years of poly life. I'm not implying that it's hard studying this course, but it's definitely hard especially since I got no interest in this. But then, I'm not say very glad I'm in this course but glad for the friends I've made and people I've met. And not. Thanks to those who played an important role in my life for these 3 years. Glad to have you all as my friends! Van, Hijack, Wilson, Chin Tiong, Yijie, Jasper, SSDL, Nick, Kelvin Tan Wee Loong. And people whom I've missed out, not on purpose!!! HAHA. Thanks guys for constantly being nice to me, and giving me frequent rides home. :D

To the most important person: Then you think I miss you out. Of course not lah!!!! HAHA. Glad to have met you. Or rather, 'reunite'. HAHA! :D:D:D:D <3<3<3<3

Movies recently aren't good enough for me to rave about. Luckily most of the time I pay with my mum's card then I can get 1-for-1 tickets! If not all the lousy movies really will make me waste alot of money. Kungfu Chefs is totally bland, some parts a little funny, but no climax. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was only good towards the end. And wayyyyyyy too draggy. Missed quite a bit of the start of Valkyrie, so can't really appreciate the show. All's Well Ends Well was also climax-less. Bride Wars was gooooooood!!!! I like Kate Hudson... HAHA. Love Matters was pretty okay, but also not much climax. Red Cliff 2 was soooooooo good. So much better than the prequel. Zhuge Liang imba clever! Inkheart was okay okay, just a bit of climax. Haiz. WHYYYYYY!!!!

I wanna watch Marley and Me, Slumdog Millionaire, Watchmen, and erm, more shows. Hoping everything becomes asterisk-less so that I can get 1-for-1! HAHA! Thanks mum for the card. :D

Hope I did okay for exams. I studied pretty hard leh.... LOL. But I really always will just blank out during exams lah. Sian. ):

Worked last Friday to Sunday at Parkway Parade as angels giving out flyers, for the Health Promotion Board. I survived the killer days!!!!! Don't think easy, give out flyers only. Must wear heels for 7 hours!!! I really almost died. Alot tikopeks around also. I don't understand!!!!! The attire was a tee, a mini skirt (which wasn't really short actually, maybe cos I'm quite short in the first place LOL), heeled boots and angel wings. Like that also can attract attention meh??? LOL.

There was an ULTIMATE tikoperv who couldn't stop walking up and down at our booth and looking at us!!!! Nabei, really super super gaoweh. He kept talking to himself, singing loudly, and non-stop walking up and down the aisle. Wahlau!!! Who can take it sia. And yay, Wk came down to surprise me during break. :D :D :D :D Then it's like an instant rejuvenation, cos I chionged the last 3 hours on the last day without going for any breaks!!! Cos all the other slots, I kept going for breaks due to my killer heels (actually I think its around 2 inches only). You dunno how happy I was when work ended!!!!! I did this for money leh seriously. My pay was quite good, but some other girls were through agency, so their pay was lower. If me I don't do already!! The difference in pay really quite big.

Will be working straight for 8 days next week, 4 days at IT show and 4 days for Anti-Smoking campaign. Can't wait for all that cash to come in!!!! But confirm damn long. I'm such a broke girl now. ): Need to spend my savings already.... And it's only the start of the month!!!! GGfied. Luckily I going overseas at the end of the month!!! Then can take photos again. :D

I should really start to exercise... Many people complain that I'm fat. ):

But how to stop myself from being tempted by all the nice food around me???????
