Okay so it's been almost a week since I was back from Guangzhou but I didn't really have time to update.

Guangzhou was great by the way ! Cheap stuff & good food! Was at the fabric market for 4 out of the 5 days cos it's so fucking huge you can't finish walking through even in 3 days. The weather was kinda nice in the last couple of days cos it started turning cold!

We go to China!
(w/ pics from isabelle, ashley, joey and sheena. :))




Gorgeous view of the sunrise! Our flight was 6.20 in the morning ya.


With Joey & Luvenia while on the plane. :)


We had Jap food in the hotel after checking in. This was some half cooked pigeon egg which nobody dared to touch.






While waiting for our lecturer.
We made such a mess at the Japanese restaurant where we held our consultation after dinner.






Fucking awesome street food ! Grilled squid & chicken. & with a pile of samples in hand.
Guangzhou's fabric market is great cos there are like rows and rows and samples for your taking whereas in Singapore the shopkeepers are really reluctant to even give you scraps.



Super cheap salmon sashimi which cost S$8 per plate.










Zhongda fabric market. Crazy shit market where nobody gives way and carts swerve all around you. It was like playing dodge ball. There could be 10 to 15 bicycles/carts loaded with fabric jammed in one area and everyone was screaming at each other to move on. And it happens really often. I was stuck in the jams like countless times.



We wanted to cross the road and our security guard led us to the fence. I got a shock when he totally jumped over the fence and expected us to follow suit. I am not as nimble okay. And I was wearing a skirt. We squeezed ourselves against the fence and walked next to the vehicles driving past. FUCKING SCARY.


Ah Wei, our security guard in blue. :))


More fooodddd. Sheena with some middle eastern pastry thing and grilled meat on skewers!





Dinner at some chinese eatery opposite the hotel.

This is like the best damn thing ever. Meat pastries 肉饼!






冰糖葫芦! Candied fruit. Found it in their 7-11. HEE.





Shopping trip! On the ride to the dim sum place for breakfast on the second last day.

With Ashley & Gabby.





Table full of glorious dim summmmm.






I always wanted to try this. Osmanthus cake aka gui hua gao.



A single pau.









Ashley & Joey!



HEHEHE.



Somewhere near the dimsum place at Shang Xia Jiu.


We were supposed to look for accessories for our models but we ended up buying stuff for ourselves.






A woman was selling this on the street. Omfg so cute!




Sheena eating this awesome durian puff thing. It has this thin layer of pastry skin with durian cream and cake inside.



Belle, Xin Kai and I walked down one of the alleyways with street food and more shops on the last night!







Dinner at some eatery. I thought 猪仔饼 (猪means pig) had pork in it but it turned out like this. Okay so I have atrocious mandarin.


Goodbye Guangzhou, with your cheap stuff and food. :(



Back to Singapore!

Okay 6 more hours and I'm off to Guangzhou! Will be there to check out the fabric market with my coursemates. Back on Friday.

Been working and partying hard for the past week. Final year project proposals and everything. Wilson's birthday at butter on Wed. Butter iz awesomez. :)) Supper with Belle on Friday and Leslie's birthday at St James on Saturday.

Whyyyy can't they give us one more week of holidays?! I'm not ready to face the truckload of work waiting for me when I come back from China.

Bah okay. Gonna catch a few winks before heading to the airport later.

There isn't really much point to this post except to say that

HELL YEAH INTERNSHIP IS OVER.

Okay, almost. I still have one final presentation to my boss tomorrow before it officially ends. That being said, I'm still kinda sad to leave the store cos the people there have been awesome. Thanks for showing us the ropes and being ever so patient with us. Love y'all. :)))))

FYP comes straight after this but who cares. I'll worry about it on Monday.

Okay bye. Back to my presentation.

Ohmygod I wanna do this so frickin bad.
