Ching Ming

My colleague said this food is only available during Ching Ming festival (thomb sweeping). So, I buy and try.
Nothing fancy lah. A bit like our ang-ku-kuih, except ours is much more better. Inside is dao-sah, it's sweet. The flour is hard, not like our angku kuih, soft soft.

I miss hometown food again. Sigh...

For my mom, who is crazy about flowers:)

Went to 鲜花港 yesterday with Purple mushroom (from now on, I will call her P.M., save my typing), winston, and 2 of P.M friends, name is hooi hooi and E C.

It was so freezing and windy. This year winter is longer. I am in my turtle neck and 棉袄 today again, and heater was on for last night too.

Anyway, I love the tulips so much! (If only yesterday sunlights were more sufficient...) And I believe my mom will be crazy over it too. Haha.. Since many of the jpg I wanted to share is already on P.M. blog (yah, same spot, same post, haha), I will just share the rest.

Mom -- if you want to witness this with your own eyes, come visit me during this time next year loh! hehehee:)

p/s: as if I went to Hollland yesterday. hahaha:P

《高兴》

最近实在是太忙，冷落了我前一阵子在读阅的《高兴》，作者为贾平凹。

不是我买的啦，是妈妈叫我这边买好，下一次带给她（她给了我一张清单，还不时地加一些新的书，每一次回家都好担心行李会不会超重，但是妈妈开心就好啦）。我是看他的封面很有趣才开始读的。你看，又一次证明“外表”实在很重要。呵呵。

这本书，暂时是这两年里我看了以后觉得很有意思的小说。有时会令我笑，但很快就会觉得很伤感，所以我觉得他的手法很厉害，这一秒钟令你笑，下一秒钟令你感伤（有一点像《长江7号》，呵呵）。一个农民，卖了肾也做不了西安的城市人，可悲吗？

有一个小小的愿望，希望这一阵子别再这么忙了，好让我回家后还有精力看完这一本小说：）

p/s: 中国买书，实在是便宜到不能形容。

blue color tooth?

I know I am biased... but hey, don't you think he looks like a blue color tooth??

It's a 海宝 for 2010 Shanghai Expo.

Don't know who approved this. This thing doesn't represent Shanghai at all. And the song associated to it also sucks. English some more. Very silly. Shanghai=english song??

My Beijing trip

I am still alive. hahaha... ok ok, I have so much to tell over my business trip in Beijing.

This trip, I was living at ring-4 area (四环）because it was close to where I am attending the meeting, and it makes me realized Beijing is really big... wide spread. Beijing has a total of 5 rings. Each ring is big, and jammed with cars...

Anyway, I want to tell you about this hotel, called Zhao Long Hotel. It was said it's a 5 bloody star, and the price is 1088 yuan per night, I only picked this hotel because it was close to where I having the meeting (it was a daily meeting). I don't want to sit in cars for more than 1 hour because of stupid traffic, so I stayed at this hotel where I can walk to that place. And thinking 1088 yuan per night is so expensive, it couldn't be less than what I expected what a 5-star hotel is.

I was WRONG. Dead wrong. The hotel is old! Checked-in officer is sibeh rude (I made a fuss about his attitude, asking what's his name, and complaint to his supervisor, yes, I am that fussy. Tell u why shortly), and the room shower place, looks like this:

Can you believe it? I cannot believe this. The interior really looks more like 3.5 star ok. Fuck shit.

OK, tell you why I complaint the officer. Upon checking in, I asked, is the room equipped with broadband, can I go onto internet? He answered, "yes, got the internet line, but without the laptop." And with sibeh face ok. I was dulan already. Who will expect a broadband room will come with laptop?? nia sing. Then, when he took my deposit on the credit card, he swapped 10,000 yuan! I asked him, why so much? He answered, "The deposit should be more than your rental fees." He said it in a way that implies I am so stupid, first time business trip, doens't know about the rule. I immediately asked for his name, Daniel Shi. And I asked for his supervisor to come see me right away. She came, this lady face is very sweet. And she apologized on his attitude. I wanted to say to her, "if your staff is sad because his gf dumped him or his pet died this morning or if he lost all his money in share market this morning, then please give him a day off", but I hold my temper. At least she has a pretty face and her attitude is very good.

NEVER, never ever stayed in Zhao Long Hotel if you come to Beijing! It's just a blardy 3 star hotel, charging you 1088 yuan per night without breakfast some more. Nia sing hotel.

After 3 days fuck shit trip in Beijing, and working more than 10 hours everyday, I am back to my home-sweet-home. Yes, I called Shanghai as home~~~~~ haha... Missed my bed. And I feel glad to shower in my comfy shower room. Yay!

p/s: Beijing standard of living so much lower than in Shanghai. I don't know why I realized this so much in this trip (it's not my first trip to Beijing). Cab fees are so cheap. Eating also cheap. My colleagues also told me the house in Beijing is cheaper than in Shanghai too. So I am not surprised that the group of people who can afford our product is much less than in Shanghai. haha.

March

My calendar for MARCH is full of circle and words, reminding me which day got what kind of meeting or tel-con waiting for me.

Why huh??? WHY HUH??? Why our big guai lou boss cannot leave us alone to do our business, why must always come kacau us with this meeting, that meeting, this telcon, that telcon, this store visit, that store visit??

HELP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I shut off 2 phone calls, yelling at them "don't call me this week and next week. No time talk to u!". One sibeh guy, so bodoh punya, still continue talking, I tell him I really cannot talk and I am putting down the phone now, then only he bye bye. nia sing ah..

For Horny Ang Moh

This was taken last week. Immediately remember I owed Horny Angmoh a picture of panty along roadside.

Can you see the red panties, and each side they fully use up the space to hang the women's stockings?

THIS IS CHINA!!!

Busy like an octopus!

This is me in past 10 days -- BUSY LIKE AN OCTOPUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nia sing!!!!!!!!! I want my old relaxing life back!!

Golfing

We had so much sunshine on Saturday, weather was just fantastically great. So, bui suggested we go to play golf.

We googled where's the nearest golf course, and went there by cab.

We played at driving range. More like bui bui played at driving range. I learnt. There were many people that day. Bui is very patient on me. I can only hit out the ball one in every 4 hits. hahahaa... anyway, I like this sports. Yay...

This is bui at... "patcher" I think. I forgot what's the term. Anyway, u were supposed to hit the ball into that hole..

My hand was in pain the next day. But, we decided to go back there again next week, if weather is still great:)
