Ryukyu x Shanghai x Suzhou { V, VI, VII }.

Day 5; (19 Dec)
Fucking shag no shit. Day started proceeded and ended in tragedy.

Woke up later today, and thanks to some reason my alarm clock was a little bitch and we sort of overslept.

Chiong down and we were the only ones having breakfast, the other families either went shopping or eating, fml.
  

the breakfast place. at lobby level.


stoning at the lobby for wifi

Had to check out at 11am. As usual, early morning drama.
Took a short trip to the nearby convenience store to liberate some of my yen.



another very posh hotel that is not ours.


whilst walking back from the convenience store with my purchase.

Then made friends with the youngsters and they helped distract me from my burden for an hour or so. Quite entertaining to watch the nephew trying to kiss zhiyang and kerwei's very unique's finger, if I may say so.


looking glamly bored with my rather talented nephew as the photographer. 


my nephew showing them the flute he bought at the place the previous day before.


my niece trying to do a jumpshot and being hyperactive as usual.


my nephew and his new crush


zhiyang too popz with the kids.


me to le nephew "julian, why not you kiss him?"
nephew -ATTEMPTS TO KISS-
zhiyang "don't let me meet you in NUS when i go. 這筆賬我找你算"

LOLOLOLOL TOO DAMN FUNNY.

 Then at 12.30 we continued with parts of our okinawa tour.
First stop was a temple, prayed japanese style and draw lots.



the temple that really needed us to climb


some .... ok i just want to post only 


have to cleanse yourself before you pray...


you know what to do: toss the coin, clap clap, pray.


and also drew fortune. integrity to give money LOL. 
Not a good yet not a bad lot.


the place which lets you buy like amulets and stuff. 


after reading your fortune, you tie it on a string. 


Then Confucius temple. Cap5 kthnxbai.

Played with swing damn fun like omg whee


playground we later played at. LOVING THE SKIES RIGHT????!!!!


THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT.

HERE PRAY ALSO NEED TO TOSS MONEY.


ROAD TO THE EXIT. (seriously what's up with these stupid captions)


and this girl on the bus asked a very intelligent question: What is Confucius doing in Japan?
MIND=BLOWN


another view of the playground because the composition of the red blue green is just purrfect.


yup you can continue being jealous.


ON THE SWING OMG I WANNA PLAY AGAIN #THEKIDINME #NEVERGROWINGUP #NEVERGROWINGOLD


I FLY DAMN HIGH, WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING ME.


one more because in that moment i felt so alive.


the whole point of this photograph is that cute couple on the right side of the photograph. they were having a date.

Chiong another boring garden, highlight was where kerwei brought me to this secret passage he discovered and we started exploring. Like walking on rocks submerge in water in front of the waterfall.


boring but cannot don't take picture.


the garden. wow... actually. looks quite nice hor? but looks cheena.


had to climb rocks to this top of the world. really. rocks made up the staircase.


told ya. not kidding.   


this is the steps we took during the little adventure

Then its finally the long awaited boat trip! Really damn enjoyable.
The sea breeze mercilessly slapped on our faces, I tasted the sea water on one occasion thanks to the huge waves, eww.


some cargo place... before we board the chuan3.



3 levels!


dangerous trying to take this photo in the middle of the road


on the cruise.


we went pretty deep. eh heh.


the wind was really damn strong


this ship/cruise/yatch had 3 levels. the basement is only open after some time, when we go DEEP ENOUGH. the blue window panes are for us to observe the corals and other sea creatures. we saw things like starfish, sea snake, corals and fishes...

pretty bland colors though.


holy light shining on the waters


was in the mood to video with my nephew
風把所有不愉快的心情都(暫時)打走了



being the lady boss i am


not that i like this pose but i need to hold my fringe down.

Final, final destination is 树屋.
Had nice ambiance lunch, but lololololol 8000 yen in total. Each set lunch is 880. just figure how much we ate.



my gugu damn cute ask "真的樹來的啊?“
erika "真的。。。水泥做的”
gugu "所以是真的啊?!"

#他還是不懂


more concrete photos (OMG THE PUN IS TOO MUCH I CANNOT TANK WHY AM I SO FUNNY HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAA ok sorry)


inside the lift towards the restaurants upstairs. NEON!!!!!!! 


the view from the restaurant.


so empty. i like. peaceful.


gyoza is nomz. did that make sense


my hamburg!

Then airport, long inefficient queues, happy exotic kitkat flavors.
Liberated more yen.


Goodbye Okinawa, it was nice knowing you.

Took flight. Yucky airplane food. Reached shanghai, I mean fridge. The kerwei and zhiyang family went free and easy, so we are going to continue the rest of the tour days with the other family. New tour guide called xiao wei (小魏), quite young.

(later we realized she LOOKs quite young. has a 5 year old kid already)



Toured two destinations for the day, the bund and nanjing street, damn cold couldn’t enjoy properly, but this is also part of the experience.

Let photos do talking.



set up the tripod and did the trick my master yaobra taught me (photography)


it was so freaking cold please


spamming my photos because i can. wearing my niece's future jacket.


TOO COLD WE JUST HAD TO SMILE



A LITTLE BLUR, BUT YA IT'S THE 'OTHER SIDE'


customary selfie. 


 more photographs of myself. not happy? keep on scrolling.


and the other destination! didn't get to shop - like at all. 
and even though i tried so hard to find the 炒冰 truck i just couldn't find it.

some things are just meant to only stay in your memories ): 


nephew took this shot. i look like a rice dumpling.


both of us walked allll the way down to look for a fast food restaurant that doesn't require our gugu to walk down the stairs. guess it was unnecessary. 

after we came back we realized they've already bought steaming hot chicken from KFC and we started to nom in the cold with a street singer beside us.


i miss shanghai2010

Last item: I tragic today already. (I cannot tank my own singlish btw) My nephew geykiang tried to push up the luggage up the ramp, and he no strength, so that motherfucker slid down the ramp and jackpot the knee. So  I yelped, crashed on the floor and started crying.
Lol they damn dumbfounded, fucking pain really.

super funny to see a 19 year old crying out loud in agony. _|_ swings middle finger around everywhere

3318
35 seconds of dramatic crying from my niece who can't be separated from the mother.

Too tired can't think kthnxbai

meanwhile some hotel room pictures



definitely a larger room than the previous one in naha, okinawa.


but i swear the washroom is damn merciless


and also the bath tub. 
behind the white curtains on the left is actually the view of shanghai. somehow we got a corner hotel room... #unluckily

cause the windows weren't properly sealed and cold air just kept attacking the room.

alright i'll end the day here.



Day 6; (20 Dec)
Quick note but I'm tired.

Early in the morning my phone cocked me again, so it's like slightly overslept, but actually after I'm almost done I realize it wasn't even 7(morning call time) yet.

The breakfast place was quite intimidating with people mountain people sea, and just like 15 round tables.
Asked for two korean guy's permission to share the table with them, but later realized that most people just sit down and don't even bother with asking.

Almost half an hour late thanks to all sorts of burden.

Set off to 苏州for the day. 小桥流水人家
Quite funny how the last time I visit suzhou it was fucking hot and today it's like fucking cold. Apparently the absolute temperature doesn't really matter, but more of like this place is very humid due to the many lakes and rivers, and attributes to湿冷, which is really damn hard to tahan.

Finally set off and reached within 1.5hours.

Had a local guide 史良 for a short two hours. The boat was warm, so I like. As in we went on a boat and local guide just kept sharing with us health tips. Interesting because wow, what has that got to do with the place? Oh well.

early in the morning... it was really fucking cold.


not a bad place to stay at


like seriously, quite chill ah.


meanwhile the little sampan 


getting off the sampan


starts to exploit my nephew and make him take photographs for me.
it was damn cold.
the pose was not intentional.

Next is where they bring us to some scam place - no not really.
Suzhou's famous for its silk anyway. 
Yup, a cheena must go - Silk Factory.

Wanted to buy initially nut fuck la really too ex I can't spend my dad's money too.


they perma doing this one.

not the friendliest either.
i bought some socks and a silk scarf for my mama. the aunties praised me for my taste hahaha. 
I thought 250rmb was around 15sgd lololol dumbfuck. But it's cause all the aunties in the tour quite praising the scarf I chose and their eyes were like burning with desire and regret that they didn't spot it.

Muahaha. #cognitivedissonance

Anyway lunch time was really just the highlight of my suzhou trip la.


陽澄湖大閘蟹!!!!


LIKE REALLY JUST THE ORIGINS!!! SUPA SHIOK OMG.


They served in 一雙.. (meanwhile singapore only serves the female one, i think because they don't want to sell both [can mate... which will spoil the market])

I was supposed to have a pair of DZX too, but someone ate my female one ):
公的膏多,母的卵多。

the female nicer ):
but it's ok, i don't get to eat the male one in sg either.

my cousin even suggested i keep the ring (mark of authenticity) of the DZX and bring it back to sg to show my mama haahha. SHE LOVES DZX.

and rather cheap, a pair costs 170rmb

Then went back shanghai, went to 七宝老街。


typical.


still exploiting my nephew. 


pretty nice view


it was so cold brrrr


this thing sort of saved my life.


i get the shivers.

XXXXXL DABAITU NAITANG <3 


mother and son awwwwww


still taking photographs... but too many people.


have i been here before....? can't remember.


sunset!


while i tried to take photo this guy came up and asked for money #awkward


decided to ignore him #canstillsmile

Highlight is the xlb. It's damn good I swear. Had 5 in total.


posing in front of the damn good xlb shop


menu for your reference.


eating warm xlbs in the cold is just sth so shiok that... you just have to experience it for yourself.


it looks average but it's really damn good


getting rounder and rounder hahahahhaa


and this puppy guy very friendly! came playing with my niece. (the girl is our tour guide btw)


poor dog was shivering in the cold... it couldn't even stand properly.


is this dog male/female?


cousin and gugu came back with a box of this. apparently it's also a very popular snack.


but it doesn't mean that i appreciate it.


my nephew was enjoying it too hahaha just look at his face!


the street


Roamed around in the cold.

Went to this tongrentang and I spent about 400sgd on a month's subscription of medicine for my condition. Whatever if it doesn't work, but at least should try to do something about it la. Sorry dad.


Then it was a supposedly 'healthier dinner'

Last event of the night was the era show, which is a circus performance, damn zai those people.


they imitated our esplanade.

it was really a damn good show. my niece couldn't stop crying after we leave the place because she wanted to watch more. like cried damn a lot. 

that kind of 嘶吼的哭泣
i can't even


Ok really damn tired kthnxbai

Day 7; (21Dec)

this will be done from memory.
and i have short term memory.

i will just 看圖作文。

the room was not as cold as yesterday..


spectacular view from our hotel room....


's toilet. I got the view from the toilet windows. also the reason why our room was fucking cold - the construction wasn't top notch and there are gaps here and there about he window pane.

 

ME PRETENDING TO READ A BOOK WHILE ON THE TOILET BOWL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA #oksorry


went down for shitty breakfast again. realize i didn't take a photo the previous day


ootd...with duck face.


hotel lobby as we waited for the bus. really damn cold.


one of the buildings we stayed at (the hotel has 2 towers)

afterwhich... i can't remember where we went... but yup we went for lunch after a very long session at some crystal jade place.

staged? idk.


FAVOURITE MAO

gliders are blessings.
