i realli dont know wad else to blog
other than blogging about FOOD!

coz sch is realli boring n
almost the same every other day.

n for tonight's dinner,
jinli wanted to go PRIMA TASTE again!

last night's dinner was
cupnoodles becoz i was doin sch work.

i really miss seeing diff colours of people.


i see all the YELLOWs over here in China.
n im seriously SICK OF IT.
(though im part of the yellows.)

n i miss ESPLANADE!

though i seldom visit Esplanade,
but sumhow i just feel dat it represents Spore.
something which WE are proud of.

i wanted to try LAKSA but decided not to
coz Jinli has already tried it the other time.
n i wan to try smth new!

n so i had HOKKIEN PRAWN NOODLE! coz i realli miss GEYLANG's one!
im glad ive made the right choice coz it tasted so so so WONDERFUL!

好有弹性的面,
配上附有螃蟹味的鲜汁,
还有那新鲜又甜甜的虾,
简直是人间美味!

im not exaggerating.
but it tasted good for me at least.

we took a cab back immediately aft we had our meal.
becoz i wanted to continue wif my halfdone work.
oh n our first assignment is to write an essay
to INTRODUCE SINGAPORE.

n i decided to write abt the 12 mths in spore.

January - 到处“1”片红通通 (新年)
February- “2”目一新 (妆艺大游行)
March- “3”发艺术气息(新加坡时装节)
April- 香味“4”处 (美食节)

guess wad i had for last night's dinner?
jinli n i had AJISEN! we were really excited n happy (esp Jinli)
to noe dat 西湖 has AJISEN!

they haf a wide variety of Ramen too! i reckon they haf at least 15 diff Ramens for u to choose from!! but only 5 are spicy ramens. =(

jinli ate 猪软骨拉面!
n i decided to try the MOST spicy ramen! 火山牛肉拉面! though it was not as spicy as Spore's Volcanoe Ramen, but it was the most spicy food i had after 3 weeks in Hangzhou. the spicy food i had before were all below expectations.


n guess wad.

the most expensive ramen is only 32rmb!
cheap n yummy!

aft dinner jinli n i decided to shop.
but mostly high end shops over here.
n den i saw...............
i didnt gif myself time to hesitate
n so jinli n i headed in!
was really disappointed coz the ZARA in China
is slightly more expensive compared to Spore's.
well oh well.
nvm.

to my surprise,
i saw BATA in the shopping mall.
wad de hell is BATA doin inside dere i realli wonder.

n we saw WATSONS!
so we went in n O-M-G!
their WATSONS is so much more bigger than ours!

n they sell lots lots n
i mean really LOTS of HELLO KITTY stuffs!
u should noe wad happened next la huh.

after shopping we met up wif te se n angelia
n we decided to try China's STARBUCKS
for the first time!
i had Ice Blended Caramel!
coz dere wasnt Java Chip.
28rmb for the smallest cup
which is equals to $5.60.
nt much difference from Spore's.
but anw it tasted REAL GOOD! =)

for those who dont know wad happened
after WATSONS shopping trip,
here u go:

i tink im gonna get nagged by my parents n siblings after they see this.

im sure u know I JUST CANT HELP IT!

We finally found the restaurant
dat sells Singapore food!
known as PRIMA TASTE!

waited so long for this day to arrive coz
i really really miss Singapore's yummy food!
though NASI LEMAK was unavailable,
nonetheless,
im satisfied wif wad they haf.
lets take a look at wad we had:
jinli had LAKSA....

n CARROT CAKE! (she messed it up alr la)

Angelia n tese shared CURRY!
but before dat they had BAK KUT TEH.
n wad i had was CHICKEN RICE!

oh-my-god!
soft n tender meat wif crispy skin!

YUMMYlicious! But still, Spore's chicken rice is better.

after our meal we headed straight back to hostel.
coz i had to do filming!
meimei n i paired up for 突击行动!
shuang was the cameraman!
we decided to 突击 a few rooms to see
how clean/dirty their bunks are!
Pris was covering her face
n screaming coz she was applying facial cream!

Grace was webcaming but v cooperative!
she even talked abt how she felt aft 3 weeks in China.

Joycelyn was alr sleeping when we 突击 her room
coz she had wine n felt drowsy.
but still, she was being pulled out of bed by meimei!

n look at Maggie!
she really had too much wine n felt nauseous. Naughty Maggie.

Edna was the most calm one.
she was webcaming n didnt bother much bout us. =(though i was reluctant to do this filming,
but i enjoyed the process!
had lots of fun barging into ppl's bunk
n making lots of noise!

all because,
i love to LAUGH.
geex.

im back from dinner!
we didnt get to eat the buffet coz
the lunch buffet was over.
but still we decided to head in.
Medusa:

the ambience was great:
since we couldnt haf buffet,
we had western.
been a long time since i had coffee.
real nice coffee i mean.
n so i decided to try their blended coffee.
Swiss coffee seemed to be the most drinkable one
out of all those Hawaiian coffee etc.
but when i ordered my coffee,
the waitress strongly discouraged me n said:
" 这咖啡含有酒精,我劝女生们别喝。"
n she gave me 'i noe u cant drink' dat kind of look.
i did hesitate for a moment coz
i realli dun wanna drink in China
but i decided to give it a try.
it tasted very very nice!
the coffee n liquor blended very well
n the aroma of coffee made me felt so heavenly
whenever i want to have a sip of it.
FANTASTIC.
wads for main dish?
we all had Grilled American Pork Chop with mushroom sauce.
becoz it seemed to be the most edible one
out of all those goose liver wif brandy n apricots etc.

i swear it was one of the best food ive eaten so far in China. i believe the picture says it all n i dont haf to further elaborate on it. affordable price too. 68rmb.

it was so satisfying n aft eating we decided to stroll.
alright alright. strolled becoz we didnt noe where we could go.

we continued to walk n walk n while waiting for the pedastrian, i snapped pics of their traffic lights. both vehicles' n pedastians'.


im juz amazed by their complicated n confusing traffic lights.
we walked n actually got ourselves nearer to 物美.
a mall dat has a gigantic Supermarket.
had no where else to go to,
n so we entered the mall.

didnt buy a single item! so proud of myself! geex.

oh n they dont sell rice by sacks:anglelia was like saying someone may haf picked his nose n shoved his hands into the rice to get rid of the dirt. gosh. imagine ur rice wif greyish particles. =x

aft which we went to Pizzahut to haf a bite but i didnt eat coz i was still pretty full.

jinli had to rush back for her night lesson n so we hurriedly took a cab n returned to school.

im lookin forward to tmr coz it's SPRING CLEANING DAY for our room! yipee!



seems like i havent introduced to u guys
the killer modules dat im taking in China.

n i shall rank them accordingly
juz like what ive did to poly's modules.

lets begin wif my fav module.
n dat is none other than..


中华古文精萃!
i noe it's rather... should i say WEIRD? becoz i believe 古文 sounds so boring to most of us.

i dont exactly noe why i like it best but i juz noe it's the only module which i would really study for. perhaps it's the only module which we haf to prepare beforehand.

no doubt the lecturer is a 40+yrs old man wif specs n a big belly. i like him though. geex.

next up is...


高级新闻采访写作 !

to be honest i dont realli like this module but i find the teacher humorous n time passes fast during his lesson. every lesson seems to be somehow similar n some parts haf alr been touched by LKF.

therfore his lesson is easy to understand unlike the others.
n the lecturer has thick eyebrows
n look like the older version of 九孔.
haha.

my 3rd fav module is ...

中国哲学!

many ranked philosophy lesson as their fav module but i tink otherwise.

though philosophy is easier to understand n i haf to admit dat the lecturer is good, but i find the tutorials v stressful coz we haf to take turns to voice out our opinions etc.

i juz dun like it.

4th place is...

阅读与写作!

writing has never been my forte n so i haf no interest in it. i hate to write but im forced to write!
argh!

ranked it 4th coz the female lecturer is a nice lady.

2nd from the bottom is...


当代中国!

honestly speaking the lecturer is superb. fashionable n can speak very well.

but i never fail to fall asleep during her lessons. it's nt dat she is boring, but i juz cant help it.

perhaps i haf no interest in wad shes teaching.

lastly...


中国通史!
i realli cant survive in this module!

i simply dont understand y do i haf to study China's history when im a Singaporean!

i tink im goin to flunk this module for sure.


anyway i went to one of HangZhou's biggest bookstore the other day!
博库书城!


i didnt visit dere to search for 写真集(Unlike Jinli), but i went to buy all these:

四大名著,西游记。
we haf to write an essay/report on this.
damn.


n i forgot to bring my 于丹《论语》to China!
so i bought it again!
together wif 《庄子》!
于丹是我的偶像!


n lastly, i bought this for bel at another bookstore: i took it immediately when i saw it.


hope bel will like it. but she would only be able to receive it months later.


n let me introuduce to u guys a Korean Restaurant which my bunkmates n i visit frequently.

小长今!wad a name. but the food is nice!

oops i got to go.
going for my international buffet!
tatas~

真的乎》

中国,
体会到了不一样的生活,
为它和之前差太多了。

这段时间里,
学到了很多平时在家无法学到的,
为家里实在是太温暖了。

这短短的两至三个星期里,
经历了从没经历过的,
为我尝试了很多新的东西。

这既开心又悲伤的日子里,
学会了如何与人相处,
为我知道和睦共处的重要性。

这看似幸福但其实痛苦的两个星期里,
懂得如何照顾自己,
为我不想让家里人担心。

这漫长的日子里,
试着接受所有的一切,
为我没有其它选择。

这四、五个月里,
将努力克服所有障碍,
为我知道我的家人和朋友都在等着我回来……

i always look forward to weekends!
n ytd my bunkmates n i were out till late at night!
we went to 西湖 again!

nt to enjoy the sceneries,
but to eat n haf fun! geex.
coz we were told dat 西湖 has this
stretch of restaurants dat serve yummy food
ranging from jap food to spore's local food!
O-M-G!
i wan my nasi lemak!

so we took a cab but dere were jams everywhere.
nonetheless,
it did not dampen my mood at all!
coz i had my food in mind!
n we passed by lots of these buses:
hopefully i'd haf a chance to try them.
we were getting nearer to 西湖
n i was so so excited!
but...
i was so pissed wif the cab driver coz he
simply "asked" us to drop off at somewhere NEAR 西湖.
all becoz dere was another jam at the front
n he was reluctant to drive through it.

HELLO.
this kinda thing wont take place in Spore for sure.
i cant imagine Comfort drivers saying,
"eh Miss. infront got jam lei.
i tink u can walk down dere urself hor."

aniwae we were left wif no choice
but to walk dere ourselves.
the funny thing was,
we haf no idea where the hell those restaurants are.

we didnt see the stretch of restaurants,
but i saw a long stretch of cars.
n these cars haf smth in common :
if ur eyes are sharp enuf,
u would see wads written on it.
"违反停车通知书".

i didnt noe China has illegal parkings too.
i suggest they should implement more rules
for vehicles on the road too.
their vehicles here r realli POWERFUL.
typical "bo zeng hu (no govt)".

n becoz of the KIND n THOUGHTFUL driver,
we didnt manage to get to where we wanted to
despite asking ppl for directions.

so we ended up somewhere else
n becoz of our growling stomach,
we settled down at LEVARZA restuarant.

it's a Western Restuarant..

dat sells Chinese food.
faint*

but it was delicious! only 42 rmb for the entire set!

n aft filling our stomach,
we went to shop for a while
n had this sudden craving to K!

deres a PartyWorld nearby but
their PartyWorld is so different from ours!
from the outlook of the Party World
it realli look so much like a HOTEL!
it looks like the lobby of a hotel
wif a huge counter
n a large area wif comfortable sofas.
feel like slapping myself
coz i didnt take a pic of it!
grr.

but aniwae the 4 of us were given
a room dats twice the size of wad
we would be given at KBOX.
we had our personal toilet too.
each of us paid less than 20 Sing dollars
for 3 hours plus at peak evening time
on a saturdae.
furthermore,
BUFFET dinner was provided!
their buffet was superb
according to angelia n te se
coz jinli n i were too bz singing
n singing always makes me feel bloated.

we had a great time Karaoke-ing till 10pm n we immediately took a cab back to our hostel coz we haf to reach hostel by 11pm sharp.

though i didnt get to eat my Spore's food/Jap food, but still i enjoyed my SATURDAY!
