Its time like this

that makes me think that perhaps, when I had thoughts of running away from home in the past, should really happen. Rather than swallowing my bitter sorrows alone silently.

Rather than shedding tears, that only God knows.

I can't help but to think of it as it is.

Its traumatizing. Knowing that its my character, and this is how I live my way, and yet, people failed to understand you.

Nothing surprising, everyone has their misunderstandings. But sometimes, such things are better to be cleared, rather that allowing it to mount up and then tension starts.

I hate it. I hate how people failed to understand the things I've done, and yet getting reprimanded.

I hate how when I felt something is wrong, and me, trying to sort things out, got into trouble, and yes, got the fair share of scoldings innocently.

The other party? Oh, she went away scot free.

And then, when I chose to ignore things, with that "Being ignorant is bliss" motto, and started to be oblivious to the surroundings, people start naming you, again. Yes, again.

And this could go on forever, till I enter my grave, then most probably, it would stop there and there.

I just can't help but to conclude, whatever I've done, be it right or wrong, I'm still known as the wrong party.

And then a vivid example came into mind.

Say, a girl went out partying, with a tube that fully bares her back. But the front was fully covered. Then she gotten hell lots of slashing, and name calling. Woot! For goodness sake, this girl only wore it once!

Then, the other one, wearing just 2 piece, namely, bikini, to work. And what did she get? Yes slashings too. You bet she got that, my foot! Instead, nothing was being said. And for your information, that's like on a daily basis. Wow, what's the world coming to.

So with things like this, I truly want to stay out in every issue, and just live my life as it is, being part of the whole team, silently. Not wanting to be known, but at least, done my part or two.

Oh wait, I was just told, I did not done my part as a daughter and a sister.

Wow wee!!! Tell me again how great life is. I need another reminder, thank you!

You were capable of making me into this world, think again, you could jolly well be the reason why I'm out of this world too. =)

A glutton post

I was chatting with my friend, when suddenly we mentioned about Xiao Long Bao. And then I kept grumbling because I don't get to eat those delicious Xiao Long Bao that Shanghai offers! In Shanghai, we went to Cheng Huang Miao. That place itself is so pretty. I like!!Then we went to this restuarant to eat those mouth watering Xiao Long Bao. And you know, being there during the winter season is absolutely freezing. Having nice hot delicacies is like a blessing. The juice inside the Xiao Long Bao is #@*$&&T*$&# NICE!!!!!!!!It was so juicy la. With just one bite in your mouth, you totally can feel the liquid bursting out flavors in your oral cavity. So Sinful!!! *I'm like totally drooling while typing this*
I was melting away while eating this.

And then, being a soupy person, I ordered another kind of bao. I don't know what's the name of this. But anyway, its so wonderful. You don't eat the whole bao. You merely suck the soup out of it, using a straw. But you gotta be damn careful, because high risk of burning your tongue. During winter period, there is an additional ingredient to it, and its the hairy crab meat. So you get to taste bits and pieces of it in this soup. It is just so wonderful, that I just want to fly over there for my lunch and come back to Singapore again.

But that's not the only food that contains the hairy crab. There is this innocent looking fried hairy crab ball. Its like fried sotong ball or fried fish ball that kind.From the outer appearance, it looks like you can just munch the whole of it one shot, like how we do with our fishball. Simply bite it into half and munch. But never ever try to do it to this look-deceiving food here. Just like Xiao Long Bao, there's juicy juice in it, in which, its way hotter than Xiao Long Bao.

You know when you eat Xiao Long Bao right, the juice inside will not burn your tongue. But this hairy crab ball, the juice is freaking hot, that it will totally hurt you. So the trick to eating this, is to bite it slowly, bit by bit. And when you are nearing the centre of it, suck out the juice, so that it has no way to hurt you. Thing is, I still got burnt. My eyes were brimming with tears immediately.The generous amount of crabmeat.

And talking about the hairy crab (damn, I really want to eat it now), there is this restuarant which is a short distance away from my hotel that sells it.The hairy crabs are really small in size. And there is really not much meat inside. Having said that, the meats that are present in there are so soft, softer than those you had in Singapore. Its delicious. If you must, choose the female one because the egg is the best part of it. I ate this like for 3 nights straight as supper.

The restaurant is pretty much like those steamboat restuarant that we see locally. There's a variety of food, and you get to pick your favorites. The difference is that you do not do the cooking. They do it for you. So besides the Hairy crabs, we picked oysters too. And they freaking cooked the oysters in front of you.
I thought oysters were meant to eat raw. Squeeze a little lemon and your oyster is ready. But over here in China, they cooked it. They add their special blended chilli and what's not. And viola,
those things are ready to be consume. I did not snap a picture of the cooked oysters because I was busy eating it. It has to be eaten hot. So sweet la I tell you.

There was another time, when we were at another part of China (sorry, I seriously can't remembered the name, but its definitely not Shanghai), I spotted this Banana Bamboo Shoots.
I ordered one of it, and understood the reason why its named as it is. Its pretty obvious. But it tasted just like corn, albeit a little worse than it. Which goes to say, I threw it after a few bites. Haha...

Oh I almost forgot that I also had this fish head soup. Its totally different from what we had in Singapore. For one, its not spicy. And secondly, its really a big potion.See, no matter how I take the picture, it just fail to justify the size.

I had also tried something that lots of peeps warn me about eating. Its smelly tofu.It really stinks la. But damn, its also very delicious. So I rather focus on the taste that the odour.

There was also gluttinous balls that we tried. And its so much bigger than Singapore. There is like so many varieties of it. If I didn't remember wrongly, there is also one which contain meat.
They cooked the different flavors together in one pot, and the amazing thing is, they are able to identify which is which. All of them look the same to me.I had my share in fast food too. Went to KFC, and noticed that the KFC there has more burgers than chicken. And I thought it was supposed to be the other way round.
They had this portugese egg tart which I often see in when I watched the MTV channel. And I finally got a taste of it. It was really awesome.
So I've been to KFC, I had also made my way to McDonald.
In there, I had my share of yam and peach pie. I hate apple pie. I do not like the taste of it. There was once when I was in Larkin, I ate Mc Banana pie, and its tasted so good. I love bananas. And peach is also one of my favorite fruit because its so so sweet. Yam is my ultimate dessert. So it pretty much tempt me to franchise the whole China McDonald over.

And that sums up what a glutton I was when I was in China. Now typing this post makes me really hungry. And I'm beginning to think of all the exotic food I once had before. My favorite is the Korean Live Octopus. I show you one video from youtube here. You people must try!!! The sweetness of it is unexplainable. Whoever know Singapore got sell this Octopus thingy, please please tell me.Arigato Gozaimasu!!

A corny convo

went like this when I hopped into a cab one day, which leaves me rolling my eyes for uncountable times.

Taxi driver: Good afternoon. Where to?
Me: Commonwealth MRT station
TD: Which part of it?
Me: Huh? What do you mean which part? I want to go to Commonwealth MRT station.
TD: Commonwealth is a long stretch of road. Where you want to go? Got Clementi, Queenstown and so on..
Me: ..... There is only one Commonwealth MRT station.
TD: Yea la, Commonwealth is very long road leh. Where la?
Me: COMMONWEALTH MRT STATION. M-R-T STATION!!!
TD: Orh... I thought you just said you want go Commonwealth.

Wah really, I was so tempted to alight from the cab because this uncle is so damn blur! Was my "MRT station" so difficult for him to understand?

Morale of the story: Dig your ear on a regular basis!

I swear

never to step foot to IT fair again. Oh gosh, the pack of people totally killed me. If not for those IT gadgets that I've been yearning, I wouldn't even bother to get my butt down to Suntec. But what's done is done.

The damage done to my wallet was tremendous. It is equivalent to the amount I wanted to bring to UK for my holiday. Nevertheless, I'm a happy and sad girl now. Happy, cos I've got what I wanted. Sad cos, you know, got big hole in bank account.

I'm sure lots of you went down too. Squeezing into the crowds is like a must for Singaporean. Anyway, in total, I've got myself 2 items. A camera which I've been yearning cos it take such great photos that is almost like how DSLR deliver itself. But of course, its not as good as compare to DSLR. But the sharpness, its crystal clear. That's Canon Powershot G10 for you. I first read about it from a blogger who captured really beautiful photos whenever she went oversea. Then, I spotted Shirley having it, and after looking at how sharp the pictures were, I was determined to own a G10. Yea, so now I've gotten it. Cost me $869 but comes with mini tripod, 2 8Gb memory card and a camera bag. Pretty much a good deal as compare to buying from stores, which only gives you 2 8Gb memory card as freebies.

Then, I've gotten myself a laptop too. Yeah, so now I can bring the whole laptop out whenever I chill. I'm a sucker for Pink, but then hor, none of the pink laptop has the requirements that satisfy me. So I turned myself to HP. And that freaking HP laptop is enjoying such a good sale, that I have to wait for their delivery instead because... its freaking sold out at the IT fair. Grr...

Thank goodness, is gonna deliver in 3weeks time, which goes to say, my lappie can come with me to London. Yea!! And I'm so happy cos I can take pretty pictures with.... G10.

P.S. To say the truth, I did not for once stop caressing my G10. I'm officially charged guilty for molesting. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying my crime!

the sea of clouds that I saw when I was on my way to Shanghai. Captured this beautiful sky when it was sunset. Now, I'm so going to capture another picture like this again on end of April. This time round, I'm flying to London. Tickets booked!!! Yes yes yes!!!

I can't wait. Counting down now. Woot!

Madame Tussauds

So, my dearest bitch came out with a spontaneous idea of going to Europe, and was excitedly telling me about how much she wanted to visit the wax museum. In which I know she was referring to Madame Tussauds.

Then, I began to realise that I did not post my wonderful experience of Madame Tussauds when I was in Shanghai. Bitchy, here's a peek of how it look like inside, though, you said its different from the UK one. Its about the same, woman! Nonetheless, I will still visit Madame Tussauds with you when we are in London ok? Love!!!Alex and I were posing as wax figure. Look stupid, but what's new?

In there, everyone poses with fax figures. Who wouldn't want to get close to celebrities? So what if they are fake?
So I began to take picture with Cecilia Chung. Gorgeous figure.And there was this woman who was really kind to volunteer to help me take snapshots of Cecilia and me. Problem is...She does not know her limit. She kept shooting and shooting, and man, I was really getting a little pissed.I said, "STOP IT!!!"

Damn, she totally did not listen to me. Ahh, whatever you wax figure!

Then, I spotted the legendary Bruised Bruce Lee.Tom Cruise is just so handsome, and Alex, look like a wax himself here.Shucks, got caught for peeking at Nicole's cleavage.But while I envy her awesome figure, some people turn into their fantasy world.Fuyoh, what was he thinking?Someone please tell him, that love can't be forced. So stop fantasizing.

Yao Ming is really tall.And its really tiring to have a game of ball with him. Decided to get a few of his armpit hair back as souvenir instead.Triplets!!! TWINS!!!The staring incident. Audery Hepburn is a classic beauty. Beckham, would you prefer Asian instead?Yea, he's all mine now. *grin*Went to meet Tiger Woods and had a golf session with him.Instead of aiming the golf ball, I aim for him... Say hello to my accomplice, daddy. =)

With Jerry Yan.
And I totally looked like a girl in circus, performing.Andy and I.Handsome!!! His wax figure is the only one that you can feel his heart pumping.

So bitchy, are you ready to camwhore during May? *excited*
