Tuesday, April 21, 2009 @ 10:33 PM , day 2/26 of Suzhou Trip!!

DAY 2!!!

we woke up at 6.45am in the morning.. and after a quick freshen-up, we went to the local canteen for some breakfast.. firstly the local students there dun really queue.. whoever voice can be heard by the person will hav their food first.. and after the locals hav finished.. we realised our students are all queuing.. so typical can! i had vege buns.. and it was really different.. the vege is very.. china-ish.. as in 四川菜 de feeling.. and the soy bean that some of them bought.. the taste really suxed..! i bought myself a bubble tea.. at RMB$2.50.. it's.. full of the coffee/tea mixture taste.. the drink tasted nt bad.. but the pearls sux.. and they are served warm..

so the whole morning were trips to various places.. but pardon me.. i actually forgot some of the places.. there was the Suzhou SIPIVT Industrial Place.. i tink.. nt really sure.. but we just visited the labs and c how the things work over there.. and also the collaboration between Suzhou and Singapore..

we went to a local restaurant for lunch.. which was abit of Hong Kong-ish Chinese cuisine.. we ordered 6 dishes actually.. we had 13 ppl at the table.. and total bill comes around RMB$11++.. which is S$2++ per person..!!! for a meal that includes fish.. chicken.. rice.. and meat.. lol.. den we went to our labs whr we will be working.. and it's dirty lor.. super dusty can! we listened in to a presentation by a lecturer who told us abt the history and culture of Suzhou.. den while the various ICs go for a meeting.. the rest of us are den in charge of cleaning up the lab.. we actually rotted around an hour++ in the lab.. so i spent the time toking abt history wif Wei Ting and Melisa.. toking from O' levels to PSLE results.. lol den we started discussing abt dinner..

we decided to go to a particular street named 灌钱街.. which is one of the streets with many things to buy, eat and shop.. so we waited for taxis.. and seriously.. i'm not saying the whole China.. but for Shanghai and Suzhou.. i can say the traffic control is seriously out of hand.. the drivers just to honk for nothing.. on the streets u can hear the honks just abt every second.. and practically there are nt many traffic lights.. and the zebra crossings there are like for nothing.. but really.. next time come China.. be careful of the traffic..!! REALLY..!! i'm warning everyone!! BE CAREFUL OF THE DAMN FUCKING TRAFFIC!!

anyway we got on a cab.. btw.. we split 5 cabs.. cool huh.. the cab i got on.. seriously.. the cab driver is an idiot lor.. he thought we were Koreans (ok la.. maybe nt me) at first.. but i told him we were Singaporeans.. and he is super biased against Singaporeans can! he say wad since our president is Indian, so our mother tongue shld be Tamil.. like.. ??? and like.. he just kips on blabbering.. and even our local guide in the cab cannot stand him also.. and told us to ignore him.. and he even told us his son is studying in Singapore.. shit can!! he say wad Lee Guan Yew go Suzhou to get all their money.. shit can!! he is just an idiot can!! and i cannot wait to get off his fucking car.. wad a SOB..

anyway we went to KFC.. 肯德基.. very simple and easy rite.. how abt PIZZA HUT?? 必胜客!! so cute can! anyway KFC was great.. the New Orleans Chicken Burger i ordered was simply superb..!! DELICIOUS!! den i tink after eating it was abt 7++.. den we went to shop lor.. it's like.. confusing lor.. very big.. and hav to kip a look-out for cars also.. dangerous.. and also kipping a look-out for pickpockets.. and very crowded place.. and we shopped around.. comparing prices.. bargaining.. and took many many photos.. 1 - 2 - 3 茄子!! anyway i bought some stuff for really cool prices.. they are gifts for some frens.. look forward!! and hmm.. the bubble tea at a shop called COOL! i tink.. i had a medium one for RMB$5.. and i really liked it.. the taste was just perfect.. and oh ya.. i got to interact more wif my clique of ppl.. and got to noe some of my 同胞.. MY BELOVED MALAYSIANS!! LOL.. but all three of them are mixed-blood.. i'm the only PURE-blood.. LOL

anyway tmr must start project leh.. so i'm nt really looking forward to it.. but hopefully the faster we finish.. the more we can enjoy this holiday.. cya take cares :)

and BTW.. something very impt that i saw on my tagboard.. tonite i was enlightened.. the always kind and helpful Melisa.. told me the chinese translation of COACH.. which is... 靠北.. ENJOY!
