ok, before i type more crap here, i'd better stop now. gdnite.
yay! im leaving beijing tmr!
ill be catching the morning flight back to spore! :0 there are about 30 vacant seats for the morning flight. no worries about being offloaded. FINALLY!
i didnt expect the weather to be soooo cold today. the wind was at full force. i could tell that my grandma was really cold but she kept insisting she was feeling just rite. bluff me alll the time. so i insisted on giving her my jacket. and so, i was left with 3 layers only. it was so freaking cold that my entire body was numb. now, i just wun stop sneezing! damn.
oh, this morning, my grandma had a panic attack coz she found her purse totally empty. she said Allll her $ just disappeared. ha, so i helped with the panic search. and guess where i found it?
in a disgusting looking plastic bag! O_O
totally speechless. only laughter.
thrills of bargaining
i feel like a nanny these few days. my uncle's busy with work so, ive been entrusted to bring my grandma around. so much hassle before stepping out. i hv to ensure grandma had enough thermal wear, took her medicine, check on her constantly if she's feeling cold or unwell etcetc. money was a big hassle. i had sooo many bundles of cash. see until i giddy.
i was kinda worried initially coz my cheena is half past six. i even had problem bringing across things that i want to tell to my grandma. so, lunch today was mcdonald's. ha, i didnt hv to read any foreign characters. pointing was easier.
my grandma loves shopping more than sight seeing, so i brought her to xiu shui jie. bargaining was so much fun and satisfaction. haha. i paid a quarter of the offered price. cool uh. i won all battles. haha. when i was in bangkok, all i need to do was to tell my sis wat i wanted and she will settle it for me.
i need to breathe in spore air !
i wan to go home
im supposed to leave beijing tmr BUT i think my grandma is enjoying herself here. so, i may stay for another day here. as much as i do not wish to, she's my priority for now. sigh. i hope i can get back to spore on thurs and no more deferring.
ive never glued myself to the tv as much as im doing now. school of rock, final destination 2, cheesy cheena drama etc. i need to get a life here. maybe some good carrot cake & ill decide to stay here longer.
summer palace
stayed in the entire yest coz i wasnt feeling well to do anything. it was too cold anyway & the wind was doing its thang out there. my nose bled again. had diarrhoea too. must be that funky cold vinegar noodles i had for dinner. giddy as usual.
visited the summer palace today. yes, again the same old shi*t. the familiar smell of the emperor, dowager and enunch. i had to go through countless flights of steep steps. the condition of my dysfunctional heart only made me more wussy. my grandma did better!
i have this big problem about relieving myself at their public toilets. funky smell. not like spore's toilet of any better at times, but the sight of used toilet paper & some other 'red cotton' stuff left exposed was too displeasing for my eyes. oh, the summer palace toilet is rated 3 ***, issued by beijing tourism administration. cool uh. maybe spore shud start rating alllll the public toilets too. :)
i was having my dinner when i overheard my uncle's conversation with my aunt over at NZ now, that she has intentions of droping by end of this week. my jaw dropped instantaneously. it only meant that i have to stay here for another 2 weeks? Nooooo way! infact i was arranging tmr's flight back but i deferred it to weds morning instead coz i think my grandma wans to stay here longer. they were already discussing about extending our visas here. arghhhh. this cant be happening!
forbidden city
my anaemia didnt get better today. duno wats wrong with my stupid system. the weather was pretty cold & dry today that my nose bled out of the blue when i was walking through the Forbidden City. lucky the blood know how to avoid my clothes. the places of interest here are all about the same. im supposed to appreciate the architecture and the historic value? all revolves around the emperor of those different dynasties having visited, stayed, or watever. it kinda bores me already. too much of ancient stuffs.
i was at this chinese restaurant this afternoon and suddenly alll the staff fall in outside the restaurant and were all positioned like they were ready to take a formal group picture. so cool uh. and then i realised they were tking their attendance. so communist. after which they were singing to some loyalty song. hahahah. so amusing. i almost choked on my pork in my mouth.
oh yea, and my uncle's chauffeur while driving passed this remark like "down here the traffic is see who dare to bang who only. see who got mental problem". ha i thot it was quite funi. or isit i hv no one to crack me up til i hv to settle for some not supposed to be funny remark.
i received an email from jon & barry. jon's so swt. he sounded like he was lovesick. i miss u too. im trying to arrange an earlier departure from this place then u will be back to gd health again. ha. k, im goin to slp now. homesick, lovesick, bedsick, heartsick, headsick, nosesick, im so sick. gdnite!
today's actitivies
today's weather in the day is much better than yest. not as cold, but im not feeling well already. having anemia now. i crashed to bed almost immediately when i returned. i just woke up but i still have this feeling that my centre of gravity shifted up to my head and im falling off the chair anytime.
my stupid eyes just cant stop tearing since the day i arrived here. so irritating. i decided to use the eye drop before going out this morning. when i drank water, i felt bitterness from my throat but i ignored. i thot beijing spring water by default has this funky taste. haha. i just realised the bitterness is not from the supposedly funky china water. its the eye drop! im experiencing the damn bitterness from my throat now, right after i used it. yucks. i swear im not gona use eye drops in future.
ka pui =O~~ (im adapting to their culture fast eh, haha)
i visited the Temple of Heaven today. it is said to be the most holy of beijing's imperial temples. apart from seeing the real stuff used during the ming, qing, tang and other dynasties, nothing really fasinating at all. had a late carnivorous lunch today. headed to the supermarket that seemed more like a wet market to me. allll the promoters were shouting simultaneously. u hv absolutely no idea how damaging it was for everyones' ears, esp mine. my god. i felt so suffocated that i couldnt wait to run out of the noise polluted supermarket.
the supermarket is pretty cool considering that they have such a wide offering of products & some weird funky food too. my grandma was so cute. she wanted to buy some random stuff like batteries for her already dead radio back in spore etc etc. from the request im got from her, i tink she had intentions to buy the entire supermarket. i offered to buy her those live black chicken bk to spore. haha. she didnt get my sacarsm. she said something like "cannot, the chicken will be spoilt by the time we reach spore & i dun like black chicken". shes so funny lah.
ok, i need to stop now to get some food & slp soon. my head's spinning now. gdnite.
beijing
im so bored that im blogging right now. kill boredom athough i cant view any blogs here for watever apparent reason china has. my grandma wanted to visit beijing. so here i am in beijing for the next 2 weeks. my grandma's slping already, and theres nothing much i really can do here. the sun sets like around 5pm. ive got suggestions like arranging meetups through fridae search & den enjoy some 'carrot cake' at the same time. haha. its like a hit-and-run situation here. should i? ive done the tv, read da vinci code, surf the net, so i guess its the best time to update my long overdue blog.
the weather is pretty cold here & its affecting my breathing quite a bit. esp when the wind decides to dance samba. an hour just before my departure to beijing i had a relapse. my heart & some other parts of my body system decided to screw me at such rite timing that i missed my flight & had to wait for the next one. the decreasing temp here is not helping me any better. im down with flu & my eyes keeps tearing esp when im slping til its all puffy now. looks as if i cried for 20mins?
i conquered the Great Wall of China today! yeah! i only managed to cover less than 1km before my heart started sending signals ordering me to stop stressing it. ha. although my grandma's down with cancer, but she seemed much more able than me. im so proud of her. shame of myself man. cursed heart. we have different health problems though, so canot compare.
i miss singapore already. im so not crazy abt the place im at right now. i miss my boys. how am i gona survive the next 2 weeks here. it seems like my grandma wans to extend her stay here. 3 weeks? ill hv to see how it goes coz ultimately i just wan her to be happy. i hope my sluts are doing fine & hving fun without me although i know wats fun without me right? hahaha. skin getting thicker after weathering the freezing climate here. hope jac's coping well too.
ok, im either going to do the book or tv now or probably just visit slumberland soon. gdnite!
