What I learned at school today.

Nap time is good.

Sure do - no more climbing 1203294930 steps, now it has elevators - of course - to get there we have to walk 20129 steps and take a bus, then walk the bridges.




Here's Ziang Jia Jia (or however it's spelled) mountains (: dad just fell in love with this place - of course he has to, we took a 5 hour bus ride here yesterday up until 2 am. Then our tour guide gave us 4 key chains with numbers in it - my dad was about to throw it away and it was actually for our lunch - it's really like having lunch in a prison - the food was horrid and the restaurant was underground..

After served with wine I think my delusional dad just felt a little bit photogenic.




So photogenic that when the tour guide asked for a volunteer out of our tour group of who'd want to get married - Dad wants to


Dad's delusional behavior was contagious - because one of the people in our tour group gave a grandpa that seemed to be like 100 years old a cigarette.


It's either walking down the mountain or ride the cable car



We bet on a chicken - I was supposed to win, I'd called for chicken number 4 but dad had to go with #2 - Always pick the chicken that has a red comb on top of his head (;


At night, the tour brought us to a show - it was pretty cool, they use water as the screen and there was a scene though where it looks like a bad version of Thriller - neither scary or fantastic dance moves there :)

Second post of the week that's mentioning Pink - I'm on a roll!

Feasting pink Pringles the whole 8 hours of train ride to Chang Sa




John Mayer's 3x5 had been on loop - John Mayer; best for train rides (:

This time, not only my grandma and dad - but my mom and I come with while visiting another one of dad's business friends - this time, this guy owns a store where they sell shoes leathers and there was loads of them. There were little pieces of the leathers cut to be examples and people could take them - Dad said I could pick 'em and so me and mom did.





There was one of pink fur and remember Alex's from Wizards of Waverly Place pink fur wallpaper and I asked my mom to have it, but mom said fur wallpapers is a dust plaster so I can't have it. And I wanted to take the sample but because it's just one left, I didn't. I took one of a leopard print because it reminded me of Melody

After that we went home and dad took a nap until a driver of yet another one of his business partner picked him up at 4. There was a knock, I was massaging my dad and my mom opened the door to a man asking for "Sakati" - so that's what the Chinese calls my dad.

My mom and I were craving for a Takoyaki and we were debating to go out. My dad was still out so we use her yahoo account to call up my dad but he didn't pick up. I told her we could just leave a note on the apartment door but we went out anyway and found a public phone at a little motel. Dad told us he'd be back late and thank god becase my mom and I thought we were going up to another dinner party and we were waiting for him. So then we ate at this little sushi place - there were little cute taps at each table and shitty waitress.





My grandma got 2 grand package of mooncakes when she got home - that means she'd already score 3 so far and dad went bezerk because te suitcases won't fit - my mom however, is the super-packer. She'd fit the whole thing in the luggage.

Woke up, my dad and grandma was bearing food - although it was not that good - it was breakfast. Then of course they went off to meet dad's clients to go to one of their factories. Mom and I spent the whole afternoon going shopping, again - today, she bought like more than a dozen hand bags, and we bought a new luggage because the new stuffs won't fit into our already-packed-luggages.

We walked a 30 minute walk carrying our (heavy) shopping bags to Seven Eleven because Indonesian's doesn't have Slurpee, and guess what - they ran out of Slurpee-s damn so all that walk for nothing. My mom and I got a rice box home (the servant have to accompany us because we can't speak Mandarin and we didn't have to queue) and once we got to the apartment, my legs were killing me. But all that walking is balancing all the food, yep.

My mom and I took a nap and when we woke up there was a scary sound of the wind - they said there's a thypoon in Hongkong and the storm signal is up until 8. But we still had dinner outside despite the wind when my grandma and dad went home.

We ate Mr. Bean Oysters - ew.



Then we got home, not before rounding up to another Seven Eleven and got these:

At 8 am, dad's business partner's driver picked us up and we had breakfast - the hotel had the delicious pinapple bread I had last night and I had that. The driver took us around the town to tourist sightings




and we had lunch then at this restaurant that has a picture of a rat plastered in front of the restaurant's name. No, we didn't eat any rats (or maybe we did but dad said it was meat and I'd have no idea of it until now). The driver ordered 1 kg of shrimp though. Yes, 1 kilograms.

Of Shrimp!


Then he dropped us off at Beijung Lu (Dad: "this is your mom's Disneyland - happiest place on earth"). My mom perked when she realized our hotel was only 2 blocks away from the main Beijing Lu.



Then dad and my grandma (as translator) went off again to meet with another one of my dad's business partners - my mom and I just went off shopping at Beijing Lu and mom bought a Crocs and like, 4 sneakers in 2 hours (even my dad already told us not to go buy anything because our luggages now are as heavy as rocks). She also bought a blue Hermes bag (the one that my aunt had been wanting so much) - for her, she'd wanted to buy another one for my aunt but the store only had one in stock. Dad would have fancy dinners with his clients and mom and I bought KFC take out (:



Yes, I'm becoming a fat-take-out-or-drive-through-fast-food-scarfer
