Annabel twenty five and full of life. Oscar Wilde taught her that she can resist everything, except temptation.

Weekend rock n roll
Saturday, November 22, 2008


Because of the hissy fit that my lappie has thrown, I was unable to update my blog for the past week, thus PARDON ME FOR THE INFLUX OF PICTURES AND WORDS!
All the I.T gadgets that we brought are gradually showing us their unhappiness by konking out on us one by one. Handphones suddenly cannot be turned on, laptops starts "hanging" and blacking out...
Luckily i managed to find a decent computer shop in Wuhan who *crossed fingers* honestly repaired my lappie and got it revived at a reasonable rate.
Now my only prayer is that my dearest Acer lappie will remain sane and satisfied and not abandon me at the most trying time.
Saying goodbye to Xia Li, the BEST and PRETTIEST security/hostel personnel

The week flew past and it was pretty eventful.
We bade WanYuan goodbye as she returned home to Singapore to seek professional advice on her water retention/leg swelling. China doctors are amazing. They told Wan Yuan that they do not exactly know what is wrong with her and apparently in China hospitals, your 3 meals are not SERVED to you. You have to get a meal card and get your desired food yourself.

And it's on first come first served basis. Amazing.
Imagine, you are paralysed from the waist down or that you are almost dying, you have to literally hobble/hop/crawl your way just to get your meal and hobble/hop/crawl back to your bed to eat.
By then, perhaps, your plate of rice have already its marks on the hospital linoleum floor and ants are scurrying to carry them away.
While the poor you, can only sigh and do nothing.
Because, no money no talk.

I may be exaggerating.
Perhaps. if you are in such dire position, the nurses might be nice enough to bring you your food. But it is just a maybe.

Perhaps it is homesickness, perhaps it is loneliness.
But all of us have caught the soft toy fever.
They range in all shapes and sizes and i guess Yuchih is the most pitiful one of all.
She has THREE soft toys - the elmo, the pink alien and the 93cm huge panda in grey jacket.
Even though we have a larger than Super Single-sized bed, but with her penchant for soft toys and FIERCE PROTECTION over them, i wonder how she sleeps every night. -strokes chin-

This scene will probably drive Yuchih mad.
She believes that every soft toy have feelings.

Don't you think this pair of King Kong bedroom slippers fit Ming Xiu this Ah Meng perfectly?

China is reaally huuge. CCNU has 4 gates (North South East and West) and our hostel is located at the West area. For the past 2 months we only managed to explore the North and East Gate because it's technically nearer to us.
Supermarket (Takashimaya style), shopping centre = West Gate (西门)
Post office, major bank = East Gate (东门)
IT mall, supermarket (Giant style) = North Gate(北门)

So we decided to complete exploring the 4 Gates and boy do the South Gate excites us!

Roadside stall
Halal food

We are still caught in the South Gate fever after near to one month of discovery. The good food and cheap buys are the reasons for our loyal patronage.
And i found my 串串 there!

Each time I'm at Vivo, i will never fail to head towards to Central Restaurant and spend $5 on 3 pathetic sticks of meat. In China, 5 SGD can get me, say the whole deal? But the exchange rate is crap now so I guess I have to put a stop to my extravagant tai-tai lifestyle. -pouts-

Somebody please save the fledging economy now and bring back the days of 1SGD = 5.3 RMB!
