Day 25

Day 25- Thurs 18th Sept 2008

Lessons as usual today with Frederick:) WAH! Nothing much regarding it except that test is coming real soon! As in, its on Monday and thurs!

After lessons, we headed down to Hu Quan which Shi Ding Le said that it was an interesting place to go:) Maurice and Ivy went there b4 and they said that there were lots of things to see and it was a double confirmation so it got me excited. (especially that it was nearby and we havent got to explore it) :)

Upon reaching the place which i imagined to be crowded with lots of stalls on either side of the road like a pasar malam, I was wrong. None of this at all. We were all in a shock and thought that we were brought to the wrong place. Dina even wanted to call and scold Maurice already. HA! Kaixin and Ameris wanted to leave the area and was waiting for a cab when I spotted an alley! WAH! Luckily, me and dina went in to check it out. It was this huge Pasar Malam! weeee...

It got crowded nearing the evenings and on the outsides of the "pasar malam", there was this mini 'pasar malam'. HA! People placed mats on the ground and place their goods on the mat to sell.

Buy of the day: Chinese engraved stamps! (128Rmb for 4)- even though i was some what cheated by the uncle who told me that the stamps were at 7rmb. I happily took 3 initially, thinking that I would make for my family, bf and all but... in the end, for each word carved, its 7rmb per word! Thanks ar uncle. Nv mentioned a single word about it till the end where the amount was shocking. I forgive that uncle though, his engraving skills were gd and its still worth the value. :)

Oh man... I spent another 500rmb=_=. Sigh. I'm left with 1000rmb and I hope it will last.(it will definitely last if I dont do any shopping)

For our dinner, we went to one of the roadside stalls which had noodles and soup.:) Lovely Zha Jiang Mian. :) Best so far. See dina with her hat, it was a nice one which was bought from the large Pasar Malam:)- try getting such a hat at Sg, it will cost a bomb!
