some funny things

since im having internet in my room now. and i finished watching heroes, sarah connor chronicles, prison break and gossip girl. since im having holidays for a week now. since i have nothing to do. lets see some interesting things ive seen in china. =)


beer, beer, and more CHEAP BEER. in case you cant read the sign, its 1.30RMB per can of beer. 1.30RMB/4.71 = SING DOLLARS. go do the maths. wanna get drunk anyone?

this is a shopping receipt. besides being all in chinese, what's the difference between your original receipt? see the scratched grey box below? AHHHH YES. every receipt gives u a lucky draw on the spot, it either says 'xie xie ni' or you get 2RMB-10RMB which you can redeem on the spot with the cashier. SUGGEST TO YOUR LOCAL SUPERMART NOW.


Sorry for the blur text, let me explain. its at the front desk of a hotel over here. basically it notifies you that is ADDS 5RMB to your bill automatically and donates this amount to the hotel's charity on your behalf. if you wanna CANCEL it, please notify the front desk officer. HMM. always check your receipt for things you did not buy, but charged to you. =)

I took a picture WITH PERMISSION from his secretary. yes this is the GM's office. my GM is from australia, so sorry its not furnished to cater to China people. its pretty cool eh? time to send in your resume!

wanna visit a local pet shop? NAH there isnt such thing. walk along the road and you will see, CLEAN ANIMALS! 100RMB! 3 MONTHS OLD! and you can bargain for a PET OVER HERE. wanna call SPCA? go ahead. i admit, being a dog lover, some are really beautiful and tempting to buy. ARGH.



remember your local IT show? people walking around with signboards, usually in pairs? nope not over here. this is a STRING OF PEOPLE, your age, holding promotion signboards for a nearby shop, walking ALONG THE MAIN ROAD. part time job anyone? =)


HUH! DIDNT KNOW HOMER SIMPSON HAD A SHARE IN THIS HOTEL! i am gonna show the GM of this hotel that this name belongs to some famous family. =)

MORE CHINGLISH!

V! just in case you didnt know how to say this in CHINESE. =)



YUP! IM LEAVING FOR BEIJING. tomorrow morning by bus at 10am! till then.


ill be missing YOU


XOXO,

Jeremy

BEST DAY IN CHINA!

OMG. TODAY IS LIKE SHIOK. LIKE. SHIOK LA. MY FIRST OFF DAY.

we went to SPRINGS. which is famous over here, basically 72 known springs, and above 300 unknown springs. HAHA PHOTOS LA I KNOW. OVER HERE

woke up at 11pm. SHIOK LA. I USUALLY WAKE UP AT 8 FOR WORK. then then then, went for breakfast at the hotel. then we left at 2pm and walked to the SPRINGS!






















FOR YOUR INFO: this is the queue to get water from the spring for FREE. its clean. so if ur complaining why PUB is so fucking expensive? come to Jinan.



after the springs visit. we took a cab to thousand buddha mountain! its one of the tourist attraction over here. its 280m above sea levels i think. its an hour climb to the top! AND WE MADE IT. =)










AND THE CLIMB BEGINS. ITS THE STEEPEST STEP EVER.






SUMMIT! ITS LIKE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. sorry i was trapped in the views of mount faber and bukit timah hill, those are like PUSSY MOUNTAINS. CHECK OUT THE VIEWS.



















yeah. went archery on the way down the mountain. 10RMB for 18 arrows. how cool is that? reached the exit at like 7pm. thank goodness we made it before sunset as there are no lights all the way down!
flagged a cab for the girls and zhenshun, AND SPENT 30 MINS WAITING FOR THE OTHER. gave up, walked back to hotel. saved 8RMB. =) AFTER DINNER WE WENT TO THE HOTEL LOUNGE. and the girls and zhenshun plucked courage to sing for the hotel guests! I WILL POST THE VIDEOS LATER. i didnt dare to sing, so i suggested lets go to a KTV, AND WE WENT.





this is the best KTV I EVER BEEN TO. it has all the songs i was looking for, original MTV videos, not the some random guy and girl in some random place kind of video? and YES ANG MOH SONGS ALSO. THANKS TO OUR WESTERN CHEF MR HYDES FOR GIVING US THE TREAT THERE.

now for the highlight of the night:


this day still doesn beat any day in Singapore i spend with YOU.

XOXO
