At Blue Frog now, alone, savoring mini beef burgers and lychee martini while I do research for FYP and update this space.
My return date has been delayed once again. I was initially keen on staying longer in Shanghai, but sometimes, the loneliness kills me, which makes me want to fly back immediately.
Life was packed to the brim previously, yet now, I am living everyday aimlessly.
I hate dining alone when I have no clue for my meals. If only food courts are well-populated here, as back in Singapore. I miss the chinese mixed rice in my neighborhood.
On the 2nd day of CNY, I had lunch with my distant relatives. A group of people whom my parents probably have not met before as well.
I drank a little too much – bottoms up 4 glasses of red wine.
And I started puking all over when I left the restaurant. I wasn’t that drunk as I could bring myself to the toilet and I did remember that I have a train to catch in the evening.
So, I tried very hard to keep myself sober, packed my luggage and insisted on taking the train.
Thankfully, I made it to the station on time though i was feeling really terrible.
Somehow, I felt so stressful, lonely and disappointed in myself when I stood by the platform.
It was cold and as the chilly wind blew against me, I broke down into tears but I managed to calm myself down just before the train stopped in front of me.
During the train journey, I felt so nausea and puked twice – there wasn’t anything left to puke and therefore, it was my gastric juices.
At that moment, I knew I wasn’t drunk. I supposed I had gastric flu.
I pulled myself together and endured till Shanghai. Luckily, I got a friend to pick me up from the train station and drove me to the hospital.
And there, I got my fair share of the drip. 2 bottles.
I needed to recover in the fastest time possible. To be able to spend time with Kelvin. =)
National Day in China is crazy. Everyone rushes to finish their work on hand and gets ready to return to hometown. I had trouble getting a train ticket to Wen Zhou. It’s was totally sold out, even the standing tickets!
I had to hitch a ride from Leon. It was pouring crazily.
The journey took 9 hours with traffic jam. Pretty much horrible. Can u believe the jam was 40km? That’s like traffic jam from pasir ris to boon lay!!?
We made a stop for lunch.
had rice dumplings, in plastic bag. Gee…
The clouds started clearing up when we were reaching Wen zhou.
Along the way, I saw truckloads of animals!! haha.. i was so excited! a truckload of pigs – big fat pigs. so amusing! lol. took a photo of the goats.. Leon kept making fun of me taking photos of them. Can’t I take photos? hello, we don’t have these in Singapore.
caught the sun set while we drove into Wen Zhou. it was literally an GOLDEN yolk.
Everyone asked how I felt “going back” to Wen Zhou, where my roots are. Seriously, it’s “going to” and not “back”. I don’t feel any connection with this place. Not even my mom stepped foot there before. All that striked me was my grandpa. On his tombstone, it carved “Jia Yi Xian”, and now, I’m here at his birthplace. I missed him.
july isnt totally empty – worked on the website, which is quite a tough case.
i spent the whole afternoon just to work out the changes and instructions.
*finally done*
*bleams*
Idling at home can be quite stressful too. thinking about everything and anything.
worse, i see bumps on my face!
and with my itchy fingers, i burst a few pimples, leaving dreadful scars on my face… )=
Luckily, Ettusais is here to save the day! I picked up the bottle of Ettusais Acne Whitening Essence last week and have been using it religiously – morning and night.
After prepping my skin with Skin Version Up, I massaged the Whitening Essence all over. The Whitening Essence suppresses the formation of melanin and lightens spots and freckles. At the same time, it hydrates the skin and increases its resilience to acne.
I noticed my skin became slightly brighter, just after 1 week of use!
As they say in Chinese, 一白遮三丑. A fair complexion hides all other faults.
