Fish Foot Spa @ Sin Ming

2010-03-09T21:57:00.000-08:00

Oh well it was a typical Singapore Sunday night, with nothing better to do and a little extra cash to burn, we decided to go try out the Toothless Fish Spa located at Sin Ming.

The spa's interior was clean, well maintained and its ambiance pleasant - a welcomed contrast to its busier surroundings where food/drinks are sold and many engage in another local pastime, prawn-fishing.

Washing area, we were required to wash our bodily parts from the knees down and were also provided with bandages to cover any recent wounds or scars (to prevent the fishes from reaching them) before allowed to enter the pools.

Here we go~

Om Nom Nom Nom

Miss Chen loves the smell of their towels.

Checking to see if her ankles have been bitten off.

Meh, it just tickles.

Feed me feed me feed me

Your sole is mine.

Miss Chen calling for an ambulance.

Supper time! sliced fish hor fun...mmm mmm revenge.

After 45mins, our fish feeting (see what I did there?) time was finally up. Due to a promotion that was going on, our total bill came up to a total of 26 SGD. Not too bad for what is certainly an unusual experience.

2009-06-21T16:48:00.000-07:00

Thought I should post about what I've been doing here, since you guys have been posting about what YOU have been doing there. ~.~V

I got my license last Monday, and one of my friend came over from SG, so we decided to go over to King's Canyon National Park for a day+night, and drive back home the next day. (All 300+ miles of it, 600 miles both ways)

Having no experience driving on the highway, nor long distance, nor even having enough practice driving, I drove 6 hrs each way and can count my blessings for not making any mistakes... besides driving too close to the side on a stretch of a secluded highway and having the car skidding on the back wheels for about 5 secs on the gravel. ^^"

Driving on the roads that stretches along the cliffs like those you see in Initial D, I slowed down alot, to the annoyance of drivers behind me (hah), and yay, I made it safely inside the park.

And because my friend arrived pretty late, I went to one of the cavern tours inside the park w/o him (will post photos later). Slept in the car overnight, missed the sunset cause we're in between 2 canyons, and we drove out for breakfast before going back home.

The biggest surprise was the total damage done for the weekend (just 2 days!) 70 bucks for the car rental, 70 bucks for fuel (600 miles is alot), and I got cheated of another 90 bucks cause I wasn't told the rental was of unlimited mileage.

It was a WTF moment...

P.S. Checking the front (on and near the plate) of the car, I saw about 15+ big flies (or whatever insects they are) that were smacked on and kind of squashed, almost as if I did a hit-and-run on them.

01/10/08 - Fall has fallen

2008-10-01T16:11:00.000-07:00

Early morning 8.30pm.

Sky Overcast, fog everywhere.

Cars are slow, wind is cold, and the sky is gloomy.

Barely able to see far through the fog.

The river trail from above. Nobody.

Route to school looks more like something from a B-horror movie.

Maple trees are turning red!

It's everywhere!

Somehow the trees changed colours without anyone noticing. The day before everything was still green.

Some of them look damn weird because somehow there's no shadow casted on the tree.

Yay. Fall is here.

In other news...

More cool licence plates.

19/09/08 - International (?) Talk Like A Pirate Day

2008-09-20T01:46:00.000-07:00

Haven't slept for like 4 days. Assignments after assignments, just awesome.

19/09/08, the supposedly International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Not so international imo.

On the way to school:

Nice river trail. Real green, real nice

Ducks, goose, whatever. Fowls, swimming in Sammammish River.

The abandoned railroad track is always fun to walk on.

Cross the river, 30 feet above ground on old, rotting wood. That's fun.

Nintendo. Notice the holy light.

1st class: Animation 101. Getting the occasional "Arrrrr" and "Yarrrrr" and "Ayeeeee", but nobody wearing weird stuff yet, just some pirate bandanas.

The professor's table.

Prof. Dan Daly from Disney, awesome guy. Still no pirate anywhere to be seen yet.

Prof. BJ Becker. The most awesome teacher in Digipen. And yes, he wears his monocle and styles his moustache like that everyday. AND he's a pirate.

Opps. Bumped a small hole in the wall, but pirates dont care about little holes.

"ARRRRR!"

"We be needin' some rum and booty."

"Your work is crap."

Seriously, having a professor dress up as a pirate and doing all the pirate talk was fun, but nobody could understand what the hell he was talking about in class.

Some of the stuff crazy students drew on the wall before class. Notice the Jumping Rice Sack somewhere in the midst of all the other sketches. It's called the "Jumping Flour Sack" here. And yes, we've got to animate that soon.

After class. Time to get some food. Some of the Asians I hang out with.
Um, there's an American dude there too, so yeah.

Autumn is here, but only one tree has changed colour so I had to take this picture.

More views from the railway track.

More fowl, this time on the river trail.

WENDY'S!!!!

The meal I bought. $6+ for a large meal.

This is the awesome-est burger. Ever. FRESH and THICK beef, not like the dry, minced meat-ish type you get from Mc-Donalds. Even Carl's Jr.'s burgers are made of patties. And Carl's Jr. patties bursts arteries. These don't.

Some people like it with cherries.

Canada,eh? Pt 3

2008-08-31T20:41:00.000-07:00

No travel blog is complete w/o food. The food cost about 1.4X sg..but the portion is 2x. But the food here seems to be healthier than USA. The obesity rate here is not as bad as SG, altho when they are fat, they are REALLY fat. This shld explain why. Needless to say, my Dad and I had to share this.
So today I fanally officially moved into my dorm. I actually had my room since Friday, but I've been slowly moving in bit by bit. So while everyone was playing games and partying, I was out there buying stuff to live on.
The front desk. They put up decorations to welcome new comers. Looks like the theme is movie night.
Looks like its really happening here. And quite helpful, there's trips to Toronto IKEA to get any stuff etc.

The corridor to my room. I'm the first door, but its still ok cuz the mailboxes take up the front spaces, hence my door is out of curious eyes. The bad news though? i'm damn far from the laundry room, and right next to the garbage disposal lol.My door! With my name!Common room/kitchen, basic stuff provided.My room. Looks real comfortable so far, but if u must know, half the stuff here is actually bought myself.
My dad smuggling fruits back to singapore.2 days til start of school, and my roomate still hasn't checked in. Must be a damn cool fella, arriveing fashionably late.Thats it for now, I'll post more if anything interesting crops up.~

Canada, eh? Pt 2

2008-08-31T20:17:00.001-07:00

Went down to Sheridan for my orientation. Not sure why I din take any pics during the orientation. Maybe its was cuz I was being wisked into lecture after lecture on school services and important information.
After going for the lectures and finishing up my admin stuff, I went to look for my classrooms. Couldn't help but take a few pics of first year artwork. Its like a whole different level here..
Headed down to Toronto the next day, to get a very important item. Instant Noodles. The supermarkets only have 1 sucky brand, so hafta go down to chinatown to get the edible ones.

Yes they have it here tooThe shopping district. Lotsa people, of all kinds. There even way a day fair.
Saw this chinese guy the last time I was in Toronto. He's copying from that paper in his hand, but WOW. I hear China has sweatshops full of artists like him..scary.Coming up next, MOVING IN

Canada, eh?

2008-08-31T19:22:00.001-07:00

Well, the trip to Sheridan starts with a 25hr flight, stopping over in Tokyo Narita Airport, then at Washington Dulles Airport. Dulles Airport was hectic. Just needed chickens and vegetables vendors to make it look more like a market. Didn't take much photos cause I was afraid of security and I was running for my next flight!Saw this interesting seat for shoe polish. Its blurry cause I was rushing. Blame it on customs, which took almost 1hr.
This theatre entrance is actually...
..the door to this bus-type thing. Its like a box, on monster truck chasis. I lost the pic for how it looks like, will post it when I find it. It swerves around and between planes taxi-ing around the runway. GTA should included these man.
Taking the small plane to Toronto. Flew above Niagara Falls. The U-shaped one belongs to Canada, and the one below belongs to USA. About a 45min drive from my town. Will post pics on it another time!
I actually flew over the school twice...but was on the wrong side of the plane to take it =/
With that hell flight over, I arrived in Oakville at 8pm(after clearing customs and getting my visas in order).

My Dad and I checked into an motel, and spent the next few days shopping for stuff.

Oakville is a nice place, although abit boring. Everything is FLAT. SOme of the taller buildings are bleak landmarks on the horison. Like the apartment building oppostie my school. All grey with no paint whatsoever. Apart from that, the town is quite nice and peaceful. Will post more of the town, but next, a glimpse of Sheridan and the dorm! to be cont.

A simple trip for Arnolds chicken at paya lebar ended at YQ's Hse for his birthday.

Note: Feast located at the bottom left hand corner is not touched at all. I wonder why.

The Cheese Cake which Derrick bought. They dun call him Mr.Cheese for nothing.

YQ and his lightning fast reflexes manages to remove candles without being face-smashed into the cake.

The American Tale: Week 2 - National Day Special

2008-08-09T14:29:00.001-07:00

Went to Downtown Bellevue earlier in the week.

Microsoft Building.

There was some Art Festival event happening right at the centre of town, so I went to check it out.

Some of the art pieces being displayed and sold.

Nothing much in Downtown Bellevue. Just lost of office buildings and departmental stores. And Bill Gates' house.

Downtown Seattle:
Gap building.

Banana Republic building.

Nike building.

And you thought only stupid kids in Singapore have fun by stomping their feet on the floor.

Jawbreakers. They're so big I have no idea how I'm supposed to stuff one of these in my mouth.

Live music in a departmental store.

People protesting on the streets. No idea why.

A busker in Seattle.

Some of the food I've been having for the past 2 weeks:
Some beef sandwich. With fries. And 3 different types of dips.

Chilli dogs that doesn't have any chilli or spiciness. Served with "steak fries", which are just really fat fries.

Yet another beef sandwich. Drowned in some really really good (but fattening) sauce.
Yet another beef sandwich, drowned in some high fat, high cholesterol, high sugar, high sodium sauce. Yummy.

The average American breakfast. 2 toast, 4-egg omelette, and hash browns. Portions so big, skipping lunch is normal. And so is having late dinners at 10pm.

Yet another average American breakfast. 4-egg omelette, 2 strips of bacon and 3 gigantic pancakes. Again, it's ok to skip lunch.

Some "authentic" chinese restaurant. Had to was the food in tea because everything was drownedi n teriyaki sauce.

Yay.

As requested by ST, the gun shop.

Sunsets.

Some sights to see on the way to school from my apartment:
Roadside flowers. So far I've not seen any cow grass yet, unlike in Singapore.

The occasional pimped out custom rides.

Trees, trees and more trees, Pine trees, Acorn trees and Maple trees everywhere.

The long river I have to walk along to reach school. According to residents here, spawning salmon can be seen swimming upstream between Sept and Dec.

Healthy lifestyle. Why run alone when you can run with your wife while pushing your kids?

More flowers.

Gigantic trees to block the strong winds, probably 6-7 storeys high. And yet more flowers.

More flowers, this time at the road junction. Makes me wonder why Singapore is called the Garden City when there's only cow grass.

Some random pics:
Spongebob and Hello Kitty.

hurx3

Me and dad freezing at 2pm.

It's National Day. I'm feeling patriotic. Away from home.
National flags flown high in the sky.

Mahjulah... oh wait. Nevermind.

Damn cool bus that brought us from the hotel to LAX.

Redmond police car.

5 different freeways. All visible from the hotel in Bellevue.

Looks like scenes from the movies.

Derrick's wet dream.

Pedestrian crossing. Drivers can't see you, but they can see lights blinking on the road instead.

Supersize me.

ST in the box.

2nd hand cars. This one was the coolest looking one.

FUN FUN.

Time for an Italian Job.

Samp's car. hurx3

My ride. 2008 Ford Mustang. I wish.

离开朋友的决定
曲：周杰伦
词：YQ, 廖殷庆

在学校我一旁轻轻听
In school i listen quietly
在记忆里她觉得我凤趣
In my memories. she find me humourous
静静俏俏跟着她的踪影
Silently, i follow her everywhere
多年以后我还是不敢追
After so many years, i do not dare to chase her.

将愿望和期望隐藏在心里
Hiding my hopes and anticipation in my heart
因为当时我不相信奇迹
Because i did not believe in miracles
认真计划着功课的恒心
Carefully planning my homework with determination
却不知道Portfolio哪里去
Yet i don't know where my portfolio has gone

离开朋友的决定
The decision to leave my friends
我很清醒没打工的我相信
I'm sober, For someone who doesn't work, i believe
说好要自己努力
I promised that i'll strive harder
但我如今　倔强坚持的任性
Yet today, the obstinance in me is determined to be stubborn

在网络部落格我打听
I found out news on the internet blog
妳和男友快乐时的情景
Your boyfriend and your happy times together
妳去到哪里我都跟得很紧
I follow closely wherever you go
做白日梦在等待着进行
Daydreaming the same will happen for me someday

离开朋友的决定
The decision to leave my friends
那样坚定不做工的我相信
I'm sober, For someone who doesn't work, i believe
说好要自己努力
I promised that i'll strive harder
但我如今　倔强坚持的任性
Yet today, the obstinance in me is determined to be stubborn

以经长大的自己
Even though i've grown up
那样任性只能想我们的曾经
I'm still very stubborn, keep reminiscing about the past
而我已经分不清
Now i do not know
你是友情还是错过的爱情
Whether you are a friend or a love that i've missed

Lyrics by YQ a.k.a 阿庆

我的脸盘多年留的伤
整个头像月亮长又弯弯
Chin长太长像半个月亮
是谁在楼上说我长得难看
我很悲伤玩Game来遗忘
在网上我是王Own得灿烂
谁要学我 Post Guide给他看
得到我Own人的模样

*Chorus*
玩多大玩多大我今天要玩多大
我要用Rhasta还要用Beastmasta
玩多大玩多大我现在要玩多大
我要用Lanaya 来Own人家

Game已打完又赢得灿烂
如果是我输了再玩一场
日日夜夜玩到两点半
早起迟睡的我脸出状况

我名姓Tan 名字叫德传
画画时我最棒 Artgerm站一旁
谁即然说我画不好看
一场多大比个高下

Repeat *Chorus*

Hainanese on Hainan Island Day 4

2008-05-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

Day 4, which is also the last day of my trip. Woke up at 9am, pretty late compared to the previous days. Washed up and went to the lobby to meet my family. We're going back for more 抱罗粉 because my sis couldn't get enough of the wonderful taste.

The not-so-beautiful river under the beautiful sky.

The mode of transport for the past 4 days.

Beijing 2008. It's everywhere.

After breakfast, we went to the beach. According to my sis, the beach is a must-go place when you come to Hainan Island.

Wedding photo taking. Old school pose.

Who the hell would do that?

The surprisingly beautiful beach.

People fishing at the jetty.

View of the beach resort from the jetty.

王丽丽我爱你。They probably never heard of liquid paper.

Jellyfish in the sea. There's actually lots of them, but only one was visible in the photo.

Another look at the jetty.

Tikis.

Fooled for a while more, then it was time to leave. We made our way to the airport, but stopped 1/2way for lunch.

Fly paper. It was a new sheet when we reached the restaurant.

Assorted veggies with an obscene amount of oil.

Some shellfish with more assorted veggies dish. Also served with lots of oil.

Yam shoots. This is really good.

The legendary Hainanese Mutton Soup. Heavenly.

More dogs. yummy.

OK we're finally at the airport! Turns out there's already a long queue at the check-in area. Damn. While checking in, I turned back to look for the toilet, but I saw this instead:
Yeah right.

As today was the day the Olympic Torch arrives at Hainan Island, everybody was glued to the TV, including the staff at the airport.

Running the Olympic torch.

Good news! The plane is leaving 1/2hr earlier than expected! I'm still not looking forward to the flight, though.

The good thing about window seats: Beautiful view.

I drank 3 cans of each during the 3+hr flight. I prefer the red though, but they were sold out so I had no choice but to get the white.

Sun setting over the horizon.

Hainanese on Hainan Island Day 3 - Mother's Day Special

2008-05-09T22:02:00.000-07:00

Day 3, I was awakened by roosters screaming at the top of their tiny lungs early in the morning. The sky was still dark, but my relatives were all awake and ready to go out to the farms to work. I tried my best to thank them in my rotten command of hainanese, and left the village for the hotel.

By the time I was back at the hotel, it was 7am. I took a much-needed shower, and headed to the restaurant in the hotel. I had dim sum for breakfast, which tasted like crap.

After the bad breakfast I met the rest of my family at the hotel lobby. My mom was excited, but nervous at the same time. Then I remembered: I am going to meet my real grandmother for the first time in my life.

Took about 2hrs to reach our destination, then waited for another 1/2 hr. My mom was restless, and I didn't know what to expect. Then finally, they're here.

Tearful reunion of mother and daughter.

It was more than 50 years since they have met each other, but once my grandma entered the building, they could recognise each other immediately. A moment so touching even I had trouble holding back my tears. For the first time ever, hi grandma.

While the ladies were crying, I was more interested in this award-winning 冬瓜。 Weighs 32 kg.

I went to greet my grandmother when she calmed down, but when she saw me she burst out in tears again, and hugged me. For someone with such a tiny frame, she was pretty strong. She held on to my arm and refused to let go.

When I finally shook off her grasp, I decided to go out for a stroll. The whole crying drama was too much for me.

Siol.

Luxury Automobile Chery QQ.

After walking around, it's time for lunch. Went back to the restaurant.

Chinese Foie Gras. Obviously they don't know how to do it.

Hainanese confection, called b'uah, or that's how you pronounce it. As usual, there's the black sesame version (above), and the white sesame version (at the top left corner)

Meet my pet fly. I call it bubbles. He drowned himself in a bowl of chilli though.

The only traffic light I saw for the 4 days on Hainan Island.

After dinner we bade farewell, and after almost an hour of crying and hugging, my grandma finally decided to let go of my arm. We took a cab back to the hotel, which was another 2 hours ride.

Before.
After. Huat ah!

As we had an early lunch, we were back at the hotel at 3+pm.

Ice cold Anchor at the lobby cafe. Nothing beats ice cold beer on a hot afternoon.

It's been 3 days since we arrived at Hainan Island, so my sis and I decided to wander off by ourselves since we didn't have the opportunity to do with yet.

Threading.

So fun.

Soccer betting, Horse betting, Table Tennis betting?!

We also saw a Hainanese opera troupe performing in a pavilion.

Oh whales, time to go back to the hotel. We took a 三轮车，which looks like tuk-tuks from Thailand. It's actually a modified scooter, so it's very slow, and very loud. But how can I complain when it's 2RMB per trip, regardless of location?

Please, MTV, pimp his ride.

It's dinnertime again! The dinners I had in Hainan Island were always the same, 文昌鸡, 羊肉汤, some assorted veggies and assorted seafood. The reason why there's no photos of 羊肉汤 is because there wasn't a chance for me to take any, by the time the camera is out there's nothing left in the pot.

The hotel I stayed in. 维嘉大酒店。Looks nice, but no facilities whatsoever.

Mmmm, more dogs. Yummy.

Here, have some food. I promise I won't eat you.

You want more? But I'll have to eat you after that.

馒头 again!

*WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGE BELOW*
Rubbish on the floor. People here spit and litter on the floor during meals. Really gross, but I just had to take a picture of it to share the love.

Yet another number plate-less car. The reason why car owners take off the car number plate is so that they wont get caught by the traffic police while speeding. Don't you wish you can do it in Singapore too?

Went back to the hotel, washed up, and went to a... KTV pub to... sing. Then went back to sleep. lulz.

Omakase at Goto

2008-05-08T10:25:00.000-07:00

Indescribable experience, photos can only say so much. Oh whales.

Reservations only. Serves traditional multi-course Japanese Kaiseki.

Exquisite sake cup.

Appetizer, consists of baby abalone, octopus, clams, and some weird stuff i have never heard of in my life. But delicious all the same.

It doesn't look like much, but the soup was really light but flavorful, the round thingy was really fresh fish, and the tofu below was oh-so-delicious. Not your normal tofu, it's made from sesame seeds and had a texture like cheese, with the fragrance of sesame in every mouthful.

Super fresh Sashimi serve on ice. Yay! It's Otoro! The reddish one!

Tempura.

Fish collar.

I don't know what to call this.
According to the nice Japanese lady, the leaf is edible. Didn't try though.

Underneath the leaf, lies a bean paste, with bits of eel and some other meat. Complete with a Sakura petal.

Main dish. Wagyu beef hot pot. Delicious soup, buttery smooth beef.

The hot pot was serve on a paper "pot". Amazingly, it's fireproof. Please don't ask why.

Glutinous rice with miso soup.

Dessert part 1.
Clockwise from top left, Ginger sorbet, Japanese strawberry with jelly, green tea tiramisu, muskmelon.

I think this particular piece of fruit deserves special mention, it crumbles and dissolve quickly into your mouth, filling it with juice, the "Otoro" of fruits. You can get 1 at Liang Court at 70 bucks per pop.

Dessert part 2.
Pot of high grade green tea, with some Mua chi thingy.

Oh whales, it's not everyday.

Time spent in Goto, 8pm to 1050pm.

It was a great day.

Hainanese on Hainan Island Day 2

2008-05-08T02:38:00.000-07:00

Day 2, woke up at 7.15am, which was a big ordeal for me. Even when I was working at Miko I woke up at 8.30am, sometimes even 9. Luckily my roomie was an early bird, so he woke me up. Washed up and went to the lobby at 8, feeling stoned.

Our "driver" drove us to his wife's stall, selling 抱罗粉。

抱罗粉 stall. Me sitting there with my mom, stoning.

The "market". Pretty cool, but unhygenic.

粗米粉 + ginger + peanuts + pork bak chor + sweetened beef = 抱罗粉。 Heavenly.

My sis camwhoring while I gobble down my breakfast.

The tiny stall.

After breakfast, we decided to buy firecrackers, fireworks, and some offerings for the village, and so qiao we met my granduncle, who is also the caretaker of the house my family owns in the village. Today we're going back to my dad's hometown.

My dad introducing my granduncle to us. Hamsum old man.

FIRECRACKERS!

Random vendor on the streets selling claypots.

FIREWORKS!

While my dad was negotiating the price with the store owner, this old lady just came along acting as though she knew us.

My grandaunt buying 金纸 while the old lady watches on.

Congrats Greg, I found someone shorter than you.

After buying all our stuff we were driven to our village. On the way my dad told him to drive us to a shop that was owned by my great-grandpa. Since my great-grandpa's passing and my grandpa leaving Hainan Island the shop was rented out to some weird guys.
泰隆城。 Don't know what they're doing inside though.

After driving for 1/2 hr, we're finally here!
宝鸡孙村。 Weird name eh? The area is called 宝鸡，and its the 孙村。

Moving the things in.

Mmmm, dog. Yummy.

Welcome to my crib.

Some really cool paintings on the wall. The house is 300+ years old btw, and these paintings have been there since it was built.

Cloth that was put up to "bless" the house i think, buy the construction workers. Also 300+ years old. And never washed. lulz.

Outdoor tile paintings. Also 300+ years old.

300+ years old kitchen. Not sure about the wok though, don't dare to ask.

After looking around my grandparent's house, it's time to pay respects to the guy that founded the village. Something like the 1st Hokage.
The Donation Wall outside his shrine.

5m long firecracker!

Fat, fat fat chicken. Walk away from me now, you'll be my lunch later.

Kids in the village.

100-yo granny. She's not the oldest in the village btw.

Wooo my name on the Donation Wall. Now I know where my childhood ang pow money went.

The 400-year old ancestral shrine.

The inside of the ancestral shrine.

乾隆皇帝赐的牌。 siol. Check out the top left hand corner, got his name and the imperial seal.

Setting up another roll of firecrackers, 3m long.

Mom and I admiring the inside of the shrine.

Arsonist in action. Lighting firecrackers was fun, u hear the "sssssssss" sound then u RUN.

Me paying respects. Dont know why this joss stick "bowl" is near the rooftop. I had to stand on a table to reach it.

My grandaunt burning hell notes.

Me setting off fireworks

Not much of a vid, but it was deafening in the enclosed area. Plus I stupidly stood there and inhaled all the smoke because I wanted to see firecrackers. And pardon my sis's crappy video capturing skillz.

After the firecrackers we went back to our house to get the things to pay respect to my direct ancestors.

Go buy 4d.

On the way to my less-distant ancestors' graves.

Another look at the village.

The plantations on the way to the graves.

Pepper.

After walking for ~20 mins, we're finally at the 1st grave.

My great-great-great-grandfather's grave. There's 2 more just beside it, which is my great-great-great-great-grandfather's and great-great-great-great-grandmother's.

My dad preparing to set off small firecrackers. We did it at every tomb we paid respect to, and according to my dad it was for "waking them up" so they "know we're paying respects".
I <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nRw0Bs7O-jc/SCMIBWytZmI/AAAAAAAAAKo/gKP0P7W5dds/s1600-h/CIMG2225.jpg">Chicken thigh. With 1 inch of fat.

双喜牌香烟。

90+ years old and still going strong. Moral of the story: Smoking doesn't kill. 2nd hand smoke does.

After lunch, we went to visit my dad's primary school.
This is what I call sex education.

We went back to the hotel because my relatives were whining. "Aiyo so tired, walk so much today~" Wah piang.

Anyway, DINNERTIME! And we're having... Steamboat!
Fish soup, and mutton soup. Yummy!

饺子。 It's very different from the ones we have in Singapore, the skin's pretty thick, and there's not much filling. Which is interesting, it made them really chewy. I think it's the way the local Hainanese eat their food, everything's chewy.

Goat liver.

Goat's tail. With hair.

馒头！The brownish one is white sesame flavour, and the greyish one is black sesame flavour. Can't tell the difference though.

After the really great dinner, we went back to the village to set off the fireworks we bought earlier in the day. Turns out the whole village was waiting for our arrival.

There's no lights outdoors, so everybody had to carry torchlights.

Cousins I never knew I had.

Sadly my sis didn't take photos of the fireworks. They were pretty impressive, considering they were set off by me.

Me and sis with the village chief. Check out the serious bling.

Turns out my dad was the village chief's childhood buddy.

Gathering at my crib after the fireworks.

My granduncle again. He's smoking all the time.

After the crowd dispersed my sis and I were hungry again, so we left the village again for supper.

Street stalls selling various local delicacies.

Kuay-Tai-Din, aka 鸡屎-something. The reason why it's called that is because it's shaped like chicken shit, but it's actually made of flour. Tastes like 汤圆 without the filling, and it's ginger soup too. Really good. Don't ask me why it's grey though, I don't want to know either.

After our wonderful supper I went back to the village to stay for the night, while the rest of my family and relatives went back to the hotel. It was like field camp all over again, except I wasn't sleeping on grass.

It was a great day.

Hainanese on Hainan Island Day 1

2008-05-07T04:47:00.000-07:00

May 1 2008, waking up at 8.30am, I was feeling damn tired from the KTV session that ended a few hours ago. I managed to drive my family and I to the airport, and after checking in at the Budget Terminal, we stoned for 2 hours. "This is going to be a boring trip," I thought. Then the flight was delayed. Bloody hell.

Smoking kills.

On the plane. Multi-coloured fields outside, it was quite an amazing sight.

After not moving for 3+ hours, we're finally at 海口机场。 Time to stretch my legs. Damn budget planes don't have any leg space. And the air stewardesses... It was a torturous flight to say the least.

On the way to the hotel. Gloomy sky.

After 1 1/2 hours drive, we're finally at the hotel. Went to check what promotion the Lobby Cafe had, and this is what i saw:

Bitter gourd + Apple + Milk = errr....

We had a couple of hours to rest before having dinner, so I decided to take a walk around the area. Went to a supermarket, and bought the most expensive junk food available, and some interesting ones. Total spent was SGD$7+. lulz. Walked around a little more, and it was time to go back for dinner.

My dad's friend's brother-in-law was nice enough to ferry us around in his minibus, and took us to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Had a big culture shock: People smoking in air-con rooms, spitting bones and shells on the floor, animals weaving between diners' legs, and flies everywhere. The place smelled of chicken though, which smelled pretty good.

Bowls and plates sterilised before being vacuum packed. More hygenic than Singapore.

Our "driver" ordering food while my dad listens attentively. And a bottle of Absolut Mango on the table. There's no corkage charge in Hainan Island, which was a good thing.

The sauce we dip our chicken into, which is a mixture of chicken stock, garlic, ginger, fried onions, spring onions and some type of nuts. Very similar to the chicken rice chilli in Singapore, except they give you the base, then you add the amount of chilli you want. I filled my bowl to the brim with chilli.

The legendary 文昌鸡。Very different from what we have in Singapore, the meat and even the skin is really tough, but it was really good.

A shot before going back to the hotel in the cold rainy night. Something interesting to note is that most of the respectable restaurants in the area had the word “昌” as part of the name.

On the way back to the hotel, we saw a fruit stall. And that's my sis trying to grab my attention.

洋梅。Tastes... weird. There's no flesh just skin, a little juice and the rest of it is the seed. I bought 一斤，which was around 500g, I think, and regretted buying so much after having just one.

We arrived back at the hotel at ~9pm. Decided to explore the place a little. Found this at the pantry, just beside the sachets of coffee and tea:
WTF?

Chinese condoms.

errr... 印度神油。 Fine print says "Scented massage oil that improves sex drive." hmm.

Male sanitary lotion. I never knew men had vulvas.

Ok, enough of the naughty stuff. Time for the junk food I bought.
This tastes really good, except that each piece was the size of a big toe.

Jay Chou potato chips. Tastes like crap.

~1.30am. Ok time to shower and sleep.

Z and Y (Poem inspired by G.H)

2008-05-05T09:17:00.000-07:00

Z comes before y
I wonder how and why
Travelling faster than the speed of light
I disappear when she comes into sight

Reason and logic slipped my mind
Searching through friendster for courage and might
I need no social network to multiply,
Checking through who lives near you day and night

Someday i'll find the girl i want
Not just another girl from taiwan
A local girl might be all i need
To hold on tight when i fall asleep
