One of the amazing stuff the company makes ! "Nei Hua" or inner painting/art. I seriously won't mind taking one home before I go :P

One of the jobs I did ? Carry newly arrived goods from the carpark to the storeroom..... (aka sai gang) .... all these boxes are light, but they are chalk full of apple and pear chips !! oishidesu ! I realy wish I could just have a box :P hahas... For now, its pretty boring, given that they have not given me much to do... I even more than happy to participate in "sai gangs" such as this...


The days are as cold as can be, 1degrees normally, it seems to be getting colder, and it is, when I arrived it was about 4 and now its 1, and atnight can drop to -4. Not a really god period to visit China I suppose.. Im having 2nd thoughts on the US trip this year end, which is supposed to be winter in the states we intend to visit... it seemed fun at first, but now that Ive experienced it, it really isn't. Actually it is fun lar, some lady looked at me retardedly when I laughed yesterday as a gust of cold wind blew against us. To a foreigner who is new to all this, it really is fun, but to a local it really sucks. And what makes it more sucky is the dull mood around the area. Shops in the open closes, people no longer walk the streets in the nights and so on, which makes it a dead town, and this dulliness rubs off onto myself.




KFC ! If you know me well enough, you should prolly know the connection between me and KFC ! hahas ! Bus due to a moment of stingyness and remembering "you know ar, heart bypass bla bla bla.. from one of my friends", I just bought 2 tarts and a SMALL pepsi.... As my dear mum puts it - Penny Wise, Pound Foolish -



Another question like 4 friends have asked me now, "Oei, there got pretty girls anot" .. hahas.... actually, the truth is, YES !, and this picture so happened to be taken by one. And what a good reason I had too, a picture of me finally ending my quest to find KFC ! Thats about that, cause my chinese sucks arse, the only things I was able to say was, "thanks for the picture", and "Im from Singapore , you can tell from my weird chinese accent right?" [She could tell that I wasn't from around from my shitty accent, so she asked], a first brief but warm conversation I have had with a local chinese total stranger, and I am damned lucky the brief part too, cause no sooner that we stopped talking, what seemed to be her mom walked up and joined us, or rather her hahahas.. I finished my meal and left hahahss... see how boring and despo it can get here... :P


The nights can get real bad, boring I meant...., though I must admit that this place is a hundred times much better then HuiZhou. But with the nights spent as always, mainly in bed at my laptop, or reading a boolk, I have pretty much nothing to do .. haiz... and those fire works.. though its not too loud to be bothersome, it is noticable. Its like a warzone in China during the C

NY festivities, as people let loose fireworks throughout the day, but mostly at night I think, though its cool in a way, that I get to see the firecrackers light up as I pass the roadsides on my bus trip, the real "dynamite stick" fire crackers. So most of my nights are spent watching the 13 episodes of School Rumble Term 2, and its a damn nice anime at that.. though I thought the las episode was very nice, it was rather anti climatic...


One of the many antique places which is very close to where I live, just next to buckie's WHICH by Gods good graces is next to my place :P This is not the most famous one, another more famous flea market is PanJiaYuan, and another is Xiu Shui Jie, but I needa take a bus for both.

The INfamous golden Zorki Leica copy ! If my chinese wasn't so bad, I would have loved to start a conversation with the shop keeping old lady and dazzle her with my knowledge on the Zorki's ! ... unfortunately, my chinese sucks.. anyway, that crazy biatch was selling this shit for 2000RMB !!!, that like 400bucks lar.... even at Ebay I can get it for 100 or less..... +, its obviously a fake... she named it Leica, after the famous Leica line of cameras, but by looking, you can tell its just another of those Zorki made Leica copies (just look at the normal Zorki beside it and you can tell...) , PLUS the lens was abit foggy too..... and another would be the fact that Leica NEVER in its poduction history produced any gold cameras... and also, the shutter dial showed "B" for bulb, but in fact, original Zorki's showed "Z" for bulb instead of B.... Still, its a nice piece nonetheless.

THIS is just a shelf of the many antique cameras she sells ! I would really love to get my hands on one of these TLR's ...., though I am not sure how many of them are in actual working condition !

Rolleiflex ? xiang de mei, dung gu gu, wait long long.... I doubt a place like that would sell the legendary RolleiFlex TLR, though the cameras available there really are nice ! Im guessing that alot of them would prolly come from across the bother (Russia or HK) but thats just my guess..
