['-...Leaving this place, for my dreams...-']

`'`Sunday, August 27, 2006`'`

Day 1
After collecting our luggages from the conveyer belt, we walked to the entrance anxious to see what my distant uncles look like. Instead we were surrounded by swarms of cab drivers that kept following us around askin for business from us, no matter how much we said no, they still stuck real close to us, literally. Then when my grandpa saw my uncle (his sister’s son) we greeted him warmly
Then when we reached our house in wenchang, I was kinda amazed to see the house, it is rather big!! Then my grandpa’s sister-in-law came n welcome us, my grandpa n her both started tearin, tat is the first time iv ever seen him cry! Grandpa’s sister that looks very much like his mom (accordin to my dad cause he loves her very very much) kissed me when we hugged, felt the warmth and felt really accepted so quickly.

It is freakin hot there!! Kept sweatin the whole day. a lot of relatives came by and chat , sis n I were stugglin to recognise who they are and remembering that. My 2nd uncle came and put fireworks, that’s what they do when there is something to celebrate, in this case, us arriving. And that in turn attracts more people, neighbours and neighbour’s neighbour came to see whats happening.
Slept on a hard bed and guess what? I woke up wif a backache!! Haha.. The nights there were lovely. Star-filled skies!! No clouds at all!! So lovely!!

Day 2
Its been a long time since I last wake up at 6 in the morning so it was really hard for me to wake up. Can u believe it? This early in the morning and the whole village is up already,a miracle by Malaysia’s standards. we went to the market place and it was crowded!! At 630 in the morning!! Whats wrong wif these ppl man. Then I saw something that I strongly believe is a pig’s penis for sale. Hehe. Soon after we found ourselves resting in a ‘mamak’ having breakfast. There were constant stares from the locals. My grandpa was so famous there, everyone came n talked to him. By this time I really wanna sms my friends d. but I really must control myself and not do so too often!! Its really hard for me not to. Haih.. Addicted!!
Went straight to WenChang after tat wif a bag that is constantly dripping blood cz there is a piece of meat in it.. Haha.. Really disgusting…

*BAD EXPERIENCE*
I really had to go use the toilet, apparently in the streets, both genders use the same one.. My grandpa had to use it to so I went after him and there was a woman b4 him. And when it was my turn, I was really smart la.. I aimed straight for the hole and guess wat.. Let me give u a hint.. “ doooommp!! N splash!!” get it?? I cringed in fear n disgust!! I hv no idea how many ppl’s shit I got onto my ass!! Haha.. Blek!! I still cringe thinking bout it. Haha.
MORAL OF STORY-- do it like others, shit anywhere but the hole!! Haha..
Anyways, after that ordeal, sis and I went shopping for air tickets and immediately we had locals trying to con our money and they succeeded, very pissed at that lady!! some more she kept on saying ‘ why shud I cheat u all?? Wat do I get out of it??’ MONEY U IDIOT!!! DUH!!! We then shopped for a stool for gong to sit in where he can do his business as well cause he cant really bend n stand up. Hehe. Finally found one n I started my bargaining spree right away. Hehe. Grandpa loved it.. Hehe.. Shud hv asked him to bring it bk. Hehe..

Day 3
Wif the plane tickets we bought from ytd, we departed at 805.

*HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE*
I thought it was a budget flight like airasia or tiger airways whereby u need to pay for the drinks and the food onboard, BUT IT’S NOT!! So this is wat happened, the stewardess was happily pushing the cart past us n serving us, then I went and ask her how much is it per drink? She cudn’t hear wat I was sayin (either tat or she din think I was so stupid to be askin her tat) so I repeated then I dunno wat she heard and she lifted her finger saying 1 so I tot it was 1RMB and I was like whoah, so cheap? and when she served me, I handed her 1RMB and her exacts word was ‘ ni gan ma gei wo qian ah?’ à ‘ why on earth are u givin me money?’ hehe.. And somehow, I dunno what the other steward heard and she gave me a cup of ice!! Haha. Really funny la..
MORAL OF STORY-- dun be so stupid like me.. Hehe..
KunMing is 17°C when we arrived cz this place is on a mountain d. around 3000m above sea level I think.

Wandered around the KunMing airport after touchdown and begun looking for bus to the city, we didn’t know when to get off so we simply chose a stop that a lot of ppl are getting off. I was so happy to be on the bus cz there was a really hot chick sitting 2 seats from me. Hehe.. I tot it was like this all the way. Lots of hot chicks around. But I found out later tat it was not to be.. Soon we found ourselves to be famished so we stopped at a vegetarian buffet place to satisfy my sister’s appetite. We ordered a plate of chicken cooked wif bla bla bla.. Who cares, and the waitress clearly said it was for one and when it came, we were stunned to see a plate as big as a large pizza!!! FOR ONE MY HEAD!! I couldn’t finish I cz it was freaking spicy.

The thing about backpacking is that we don’t have any idea where we are goin to stay so we carried our 15kg backpack behind and another 5k bag in front walking around to look for a place to stay. We found ourselves in a youth hostel that night. I was delighted cz again there is a hot chick working there from Szechwan but my sis wasn’t as delighted as me for some reason I dunno y. we rented a bike and we cycled a pretty long distant to buy our train tickets to DaLi tml. The road system there is horrible!! Should I go like.. ‘ WHAT ROAD SYSTEM??’ nobody follows the signs!!
We heard bout a very nice bird market nearby so we tot of checkin it out. There I ate something like satay, but its mutton!! And its super delicious!! I ate another 6 more that day. Hehe. We returned the bikes and sister said she hasn’t had enough yet, so we went out again after a short rest. We came bk really late cz we had to walk very far cz the buses stopped their routes d.. haih..

Day 4
Again, we rushed in the morning to catch our train to Dali. At the end we had enough spare time to get some breakfast into our tummy.. It was an agonizing 8 hours ride. They have salesperson

on board the train to make announcements. So hilarious la.. Wat an interesting profession. The sceneries are to die for where you have both traditional and modern buildings built on the hillsides. We got the horribly had seats which costs only 35RMB, according to lonely planet, they say that you can cut the smoke in there with a knife but it’s not as bad it they say it is.. They

have a place where they boil water for ppl to use on the train and I wanted to take pics of it but there was this boiler man tats so fucking rude tat he din let me. But I still went bk at the end when he wasn’t watchin. Hehe.. Then there was this dude sittin in front of us tat kept staring at jie’s boobs, of course she felt uncomfortable but she had it coming, who asked her to wear spaghetti strap?? So I kept staring at that guy to make him uncomfortable in return. Haha. He is such a disgusting man. He blew his snot on the floor which nearly fell on someone’s feet!!
Once we got there, we found another youth hostel, we stayed with another girl from Holland. Very sweet. We rented a bike and went exploring. We stumbled upon a woman from a minority tribe and she was kind enough to bring us back to her house and chat with us.
I tried another of their delicacies (baby crabs and clam). But it wasn’t tat nice because they put some sort of spice in it to get rid of the ‘fresh’ smell. My sis accidentally ate a piece of meat and her tummy started aching after that. Sis was in a shopping mood so I tagged along to bargain for her and she said that I ROCK!! Haha.. On our way back I sang with one of the locals. Hehe..
Overall, Dali is a crowded and bustling place. They have night life here..

Day 5
Woke up wif a soar throat.. We cycled to ‘er hai hu’ translation is ‘ ear-shaped lake’. we went to the jetty and we dini like it there cz it was too touristy so we went somewhere else. We cycled along the lake to see if there are any other pplace where we can swim. We went to a village and found 2 twins and they said tat they’ll bring us there. They are so cute.. Mebe around 9 years old.. They shared a bike there.. We cycled through the paddy field on shit covered roads.. Hehe..

The place they brought us?? ITS PERFECT!! Picturesque view n nobody around n cool water.. We swam for a bit, took pics and they asked money from us, I was shocked and disappointed, though we wanted to give them a lil , but they shudn’t hv asked.. I only had 100s.. So I cycled ahead to get change but when I got bk they were gone, so we passed the money to some stranger tat noes them so we wont feel as guilty. Later we cycled to the 3 pagodas but we didn’t go in cause we had to pay a ridiculous entrance fee anyways we can see it from outside d..I took my rash medication cz my rash was comin up..lost a few pairs of undies while hanging them out to dry.we had a short nap and we went to XiJou, I had water dragonflies on the way.. Hehe.. Yumm.. We also went on a muel-drawn cart, but we felt bad for the skinny thing so we stopped halfway n took a bus. The small village still looks ancient and authentic. I had black pepper steak for dinner and it wasn’t all tat good. Our body was achin that night so we decided to go for a massage by the blind n dumb.it was awesome but I had more body aches the next day.. Hehe..

Day 6
There was knocking on our room late at night and so I had to wake up to open it, there was a new roommate.. Then I couldn’t sleep anymore.. The morning we found out tat its an american girl tat was locked outside her room after a late night clubbin… so she had to stay at our place.. I was flooded by my own phlegm n my sis was snoring, I whacked her.. Haha..shhhh…

I had a buffet breakfast and I ate till I dropped. Hehe.. Left for LiJiang in the morning and the 4 hour trip was again BAD…there was so little leg space and seats are so small!! It seems to be much hotter up here.. The first thing backpackers do when they reach a new destination ,seek shelter.. We checked out a lot of guest houses d.. they all range from 120RMB to 140RMB. Then my sis asked some foreign tourists and they told us tat they are stayin at a place for 25RMB per night n the facilities are equally as good.. So we were so excited and started looking for the place.it took us around half an hour wif our heavy backpacks to find it.. But it was ALLLL WORTH IT!!..the place is called Mama Naxi guest house.. Naxi is the name of a tribe there. Mama is such a nice person.. We all call her mama.. Cz she is really like our typical mama.. She is very helpful n tries her best to serve us as best as she can.. All the stress is really bad for her health, we found out tat she is havin some health issue.. Something wrong wif her bone marrow I think. I hope its not fatal.. This place is really comfortable. Prob because she makes everybody right at home. We went to change some american dollars and chilled out at a café (Prague café) where we sat n planned our trip n I updated my diary.. I really like this place, im sitting there and imagining tat it wud be really romantic if I bring my gf here nx time around winter so tat the willows, Chinese rooftops n road is covered in snow n im walkin around holding her hands.. Haih..if I hv a gf… because we plan to go hiking tml, I had to get a pair of hiking shoes cz I din have anything suitable.. I went to almost 10 shops n non had my size until at last I found a shoe wif a larger cutting. I took it.. Hehe.. The quality is really bad but I only need it to last me 2 days..we rushed bk to our mama cz she wants us to be bk on time for dinner.. The cooking is AWESOME!!! I ate damn a lot man..we found out tat there were ppl from Sweden, England, China, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, France, Korea and of course Malaysia( us!!) all under one roof.. Haha.. After dinner, we planned our hiking trip wif mama and I had to do some translating to the others ..at night I went online and chat wif zu n viv.. Zu is mad at me for wtv reason I dunno.. N viv is comforting me.. She is always comforting me.. Hehe.. Thank you!! Muah!!

Day 7
The sirens from a nearby army camp went off at around 6 so we woke up then n got ready, our group of 10 including 2 French, I Slovakian, 2 English, 2 Israelis, 1 swiss and of course us.. The hike was tiring, exhilarating, refreshing and exciting. It was an approx 4 to 5 hours non-stop hike around the mountains, we climbed around 400m higher.. Air is thin n cooling. Very weird from Malaysia..I picked flowers along the trail to keep in my diary for remembrance. So I walk n I pluck n I put in my sunglasses box n I walk again!! Haha.. The scenery is like ntg iv seen b4!!

The mountains are so beautiful!! I had a great time walking behind everyone else, cause then I can take my own sweet time while I enjoy the viewand think bout stuff to clear my mind.. We reached the ‘Half-Way Guest House’ and decided that that’s enuf walk for the day. I chat a lot wif the foreigners. I talked bout the world cup finals with the French and apparently they hate France cz they said tat they paid to win bk in the days. I gave the Israel guy some of our Malaysian currencies cz he is collecting them.. Of course im goin to claim bk from my mom..hehe..it was when I was about to take my shower that I realized that I forgot to bring my undies n pants… haha no wonder my bag was so light. Hehe.. So I wore my WP track suits… din really like my sis today.. She is being very stuck up n she acts really fake towards others.. The way she speaks.. Really really FAKE!!

Day 8
Whoah.. Today I really hate the Chinese man.. They are such liars!!money cheating scums!!! Urgh!! (NO 1)When we were heading towards the middle tiger leaping gorge.. Oh its separated into 3 parts.. They said tat we had to pay to go see the gorge but we already paid for the whole

damn hike d b4 we came into the gorge.. So there was a small brawl.. At the end we all din go through there.. We walked further down and we saw a sign pointing into the bushes that says

middle tiger leaping gorge, there is a small trail there meant for hikers.. So we went through there.. We didn’t hafta pay a single cent! I was so pissed and I wanted to go bk n scold them..im guessing tat tat is the original path. I accidentally fell n I cut my palm n I used Moti’s( Israel guy) spray that stops bleeding n kills germs all in one spray!! Hehe.. It worked really well I hafta say.. Hehe.. We saw the gorge from a better view n it was free!! Haha..(NO 2) we needed a ride bk to the main entrance and the guy forcefully said 15RMB per pax where it shud be 10RMB..(NO 3) we were suppose to look for public buses bk to LiJiang but then JC ( american dude) wanted to go bk quicker by minivan. And a normal minivan can only fit 6 ppl but there were 8 of us and we wanna leave together mama said tat it shud cost us no more than 20RMB but they are charging 25RMB..when we saw a minivan big enough to fit all of us came, I quickly stopped it n asked how much, b4 the driver can dish out a price, the first driver we met ran to him n whispered into his ear n then the driver told us 25 RMB as well.. So ok la. We took it cz can fit all of us ma for the same price.. Then when we all got into the van, we saw our driver hand over some cash to the first driver n we were so pissed we all booed in the car.. I wanted to get off and wait for the bus one lo.. I HATE CHEATERS!! But my sister din let me..there was a smirk on that guy’s face n I jz felt like fixing his face for him man.. Aiyo!!
When we reached LiJiang, he dropped us at some bus station tat we hv no idea where it is, so nobody wanted to pay 25RMB to be left elsewhere other than JC.. I was so unsatisfied, the Israelis were saying ‘ why should we pay?? I’m not goin to pay…’ hehe.. So cute la tat uncle.. Then there was a heated argument in the car between me n tat driver cause I knew the language and everybody was staring at me n him bk n forth.. My blood was boiling and everyone was curious wat I was saying to him and vice versa…honestly, we nearly got into a fight.. And I was actually waiting for him to land the first blow.. I wanna see wat JC n the French guy will do cz they are really fit.. Hey.. But I can take him down as well k.. hehe.. Dun look down on me k.. I pissed him off to the point where he gave up and drove us to where we wanted to go wif a long face. I was so happy then.. It was like .. ‘ arh… I finally got bk at them’ hehe.. R-E-S-P-E-C-T tats wat I got today form the others..

In the evening JC, Moti, sis n I went for a well deserved massage after 2 days of hiking.. This time I was massaged by the blind and it was not so bad.. We did the foot n whole body massage..hehe..I bargained for JC this time for him when he wanted to get a new shirt..

Day 9

Sis and I slept through the morning cz we were too exhausted.. Carole ( the swiss chick tat speaks French ) woke me up and in the afternoon we had a trip to see Dr. Ho. Apparently he healed a lot of ppl.. Like the queen of Norway and others from diseases.. Carole n I went to seek treatment for our skin. She has some disease whereby her pigments lose colour from time to time.. Me?? Well Im allergic to the sun… Dr. Ho is very proud of himself la..he signs off as ‘MOST ADMIRED MAN in Google’ haih..he gave us both a few bags of herbal medicine..iv not tried it yet
After that we went to see some old town tat was ‘left untouched’ bullshit la.. Other than tat we didn’t do anything else d..

Day 10
Sis n I woke up really early so that we can sneak into a really nice garden (‘elephant mountain’ cz it looks like an elephant….duh…) for free but unfortunately we were a little too late and we had to pay so we decided not to.. It pissed me off that the locals din need to pay, they can jz walk rite in n not pay but we hafta pay.. I asked the ticket girl y so and they told me that the locals bought ’monthly pass’.. so I was like.. Show me la.. Then they said like they dunit to show cz they ’RECOGNIZE’ their face.. N im like WTV B*itch…besides we were also told of a ‘secret passage’ so to speak to get in without paying.. But we remembered wrongly, we were suppose to go the left side instead we went to the right n I saw a little trail up a muddy slope tat seem to lead inside the garden so I went in with my flip flops, it was so muddy tat it broke my flip flops NOT SMART!! And the trail leads nowhere so I came out barefooted.. Hehe.. Then it started

raining cats n dogs. I was walking on puddles of water n come to think bout it its really disgusting, imagine all the 100s of ppl’s spit,shit, piss and god noes wat all collected into one small puddle.. Hehe.. Not very flattering.. We ran all the way bk to our guest house and had a super hot bath.. Whoah.. Feels damn good.. Hehe. Sent Moti off today.. L
Slept a little today, but when we woke up, it’s still drizzling, but sis n I decided not to waste time n so we went out to look at the quieter part of town n we rented A bike from mama’s n we decided to cycle to the elephant mountain again..take note.. ONE BIKE.. So I had to fetch my sis there n it was harder than running 7km.. Haha.. Mebe not.. The tyres nearly burst from the weight.. Haha.. But it held..

This time we found the way in without paying and its really ironic.. Haih.. Sucky system.. BUT!! We still had to pay again inside so of course sis n I are so stubborn we didn’t wanna pay so we walked up a flight of stairs along the mountain side then we walked into the trees out of the ppl’s view n we walked pass them.. Hehe.. We felt like crooks and we were thinking wat wud happen if we were caught..the adrenaline rush was awesome!! Better than speeding I hafta say.. Hehe.. Wats worse I had to walk in front of my sis to see if the coast is clear.. My sis’s heart was pounding.. Hehe
Inside there we found an artist that is famour for his ‘palm-painting’ whereby he only uses his palms, finger, n hands to paint..I bought a picture from him n sis bought one oso.. Hehe.. We found a place where theres a guy tat carves rocks to make as chops.. So we made one for mom.. Really expensive!! 200RMB!! But its really beautiful!! And we sat n chat wif the guy while he carves n we talked a lot.. He is actually a very smart dude. He says that nothing is perfect or rather nothing SHOULD be perfect, so when he is done carving, he will chip the sides a little to make it imperfect!! I was really amazed by him.. He even noes how to carve pictures of ppl’s faces n animals..he carved his wife, his dog n himself out.. Hehe. Very romantic..

Day 11
Today would be our last day in LiJiang and we are doing our last minute shopping.. I went and made a chop for myself n viv as well…sis got one for herself as well.. She asked for a flower on her chop so he put one there lo.. I told him jokingly, if my sis has a flower then I want a butterfly lo.. Then he didn’t get my joke so when I returned to collect my chop, IT HAS A BUTTERFLY!!! I wanted to cry d.. wat a waste la..but the butterfly looks really pretty!! Hehe… IM NOT GAY!! Ok? I admire masterpiece.. Hehe..I asked for a heart to be put on viv’s chop, he carved a pear because it was used to symbolize love wor.. He kept saying tat viv is my gf n stuff la.. I was blushing man.. Hehe..

In the afternoon we went to the foot of the snow mountain and today, we get to see the snow on the mountain top, very beautiful!! I went on a glider plane ride for RM90.. Hehe.. Less than 5 mins ride up there in the sky only.. But it’s a new experience so its worth it.. Hehe.. After that we went for horseback riding, sis wasn’t enjoying it as much as I was though..
We went bk to the town and we visited the marketplace which is really huge!! I was disgusted when I saw dogs being caged ready to be slaughtered and then there was this guy that walked in front of me and saw a small fish that has jumped out of its aquarium, he stopped and stepped on it!! Then he saw my reaction when he was doin that then he continued stepping on it till the poor fish died!! It didn’t just die, it ended up in a ‘L’ shape..haih.. Wait wait wait.. that’s not all..then he picked it up and walked towards my sister and threw it right under my sister’s leg with a freaking smile on his face.. I was so pissed man..wat an ass!!

Sorrow filled my heart when it was time for us to leave mama’s.. there was this girl that helps out there that iv become quite close with became really quiet when I was bout to leave, I asked her y but she din say anything.. Il definitely remember them forever.. Hehe.. I remembered when we were leavin, mama asked me to come bk, and somehow I spontaneously told her tat il bring my kids bk to show her.. Hehe.. We laughed a lot man.. Hehe.. We took a night sleeper bus bk to Dali.. And its approximately a 8 hours ride.. It was the worse!! The company really tried their best to earn every penny out of the bus!! Imagine a bus with 4 beds in a row!! 5.5 feet long and 1.5 feet wide!! I was so cramped!! Things got worse for me.. I started having unbearable pain on my chest n I couldn’t move, couldn’t lie down n couldn’t sit down too cz it hurt a lot!! Sis was so worried bout me and she said tat if I cant take it anymore I better tell her and we would get off n see a doc.. I changed beds wif sis cz hers seems more comfortable.. But the guy next to me kept ‘crossing the line!!’ I tried pushing him bk but he didn’t budge so I faced my ass at him n released a little gas from time to time.. Haha.. What?? He left me no choice!! Hehe..the driver was goin really fast downhill and in the dark some more man.. Scary shit!!

Day 12
We reached KunMing a little earlier ahead of schedule so the bus driver let us sleep a little while longer, I found it quite cute, hehe.. Everyone sleepin on the bus.. Haha.. Then around 620 in the morning we walked around town with heavier backpacks than b4 cz of all the things we bought. We made our way to ‘the Hump’ a highly recommended backpacking place by mama. We gradually found our way there and left our baggages there while we went and do more shopping. Theres a hot girl working there too act.. But only a lil short.. Haha..
Anyways.. We asked for directions to a place where we can buy tea, and that person showed us the way to a place that specializes in selling teas.. There is tea shops EVERYWHERE!! So my sis was like, sam… which shop to go to?? Then I saw that one of the shops had a cradle outside.. So I just pointed there and said.. That one. Hehe..then we went and ended up buyin 250RMB just on tea!! Haha..I like some of the tea actually.. Din noe tat I liked them.. Haha.
Because one of our relatives are pregnant and expecting the new born soon, we tot of buyin them baby milk powder, so we went shopping again, and got 585RMB worth of powder!! Watda.. Damn expensive man.. Next time.. No babies for me la. Haha.. jkjk.. I love babies.. Hehe..we developed some of the pictures we took in out hometown so that they can keep for remembrance.
We still had some time so sis n I went bk to a street where we passed by last time we were here cause there is this particular shop tat I like very much.. They hv a shirt wif a pic of zidane head butting tat Italian ass.. But sadly, once I got there, I found out that they only hv it for girls.. F**K ‘em!! Haih.. We bought a shirt for my distant cousin too.. A shirt wif bruce lee on it.. Hehe..
The Hump is a very good chill out place for backpackers.. I especially love their shower rooms.. Hehe.. Let me tell u y..cz when u r bathin in one cubicle, u can see reflections of the person bathin nx to ur cubicle on the floor.. Haha.. Lucky enuf I am almost certain it was a girl that was bathin next to me.. Haha… *wink wink*.. Hehe..
We wanted to be safe than sorry so we went to the airport earlier than we anticipated..once on the plane, I randomly took pics of air stewardess and another air steward came and scolded me and asked me to delete the pics.. He’s so rude man.. The way he said it.. Aiyo.. Nvm la.. I had some cool turbulence on the way bk to hainan.. Only wished it wud be bigger. Haha…. Oh.. Not to forget, the baby in front of us threw up few minutes b4 landing cz of the turbulence.. Haha.. Damn cute!! Let me tell u a secret…… I stole their pillow!!!but I wanted their blanket.. Hehe… sshsHShshHhhHhhh…….

Sleepin soundly late in the day then suddenly, BOOooMMMmm!!! KoKo… Jie Jie.. , my lil cous came runnin in and told us tat her mom has been admitted into the hospital. Then I was like.. Yay!!! Haha… cz I knew it wasn’t a bad thing tat she is admitted.. It’s because she is goin to give birth d.. I was so excited I kept wanting to go to the hospital which is just 5 mins walk from the house only. But I had to wait for the others..

Haha.. Then we hurried bk for lunch and they are waiting for us to pray to our ancestors..

Today is a damn freakin hot day man.. I kept puring water on my head so I wont over heat.. Haha.. We let go a lot of fireworks b4 n after we prayed.. Its suppose to be really good for us to go bk to our roots and pray.. Hmm… dinner was fantastic.. So many ppl brought food over and help cooked and helped clean up and everything!! So many ppl turned up.. All super distant relatives like my grandpa’s sister’s son’s wife’s dad and lots more man.. Ahha.. Those tat I dun even noe how are they related to us.. Haha..
After dinner I helped wash the dishes and the women were shocked.. And kept askin me not to.. Haha..
We gave our cousin 300RMB for his studies but im not sure if the uncle asked boy to give him the money or not.. Tat uncle very useless one accordin to my grandpa..

Day 15
After sleepin on the hardwood bed now for days, tonight will be our last night in China and I’m startin to miss everythin and everyone.. Woke up late and found out tat grandpa n uncle has already went out for breakfast, so I decided to go after them.. Din do anything in the morning, jz kinda slumbered at home and at the hospital, aunt was discharged today and I wanted to put fireworks, but the grandmas over there din wan us to. I was so pissed, y dun they wanna make girls as important as guys?? Is it because tat

they are jealous tat noone put fireworks when they

were born?? Haih.. Anyways, the butcher dude wif a hamsap look came and wanted to bring gong,cou sis n i to the beach, so I had to sit between my sis n him and he is fat!! I keep feeling his ‘warmth’ on my thigh.. Eeww!! Sickening man.. Theey brought us to Long Lou, a beach..sis n I swam there , took some pics and rode the ATV.. Haha.. Damn fun..
After dinner the butcher dude came again and brought us to a massage place, he was suppose to bring a tricycle, but NO!! he brought an ordinary bike.. So AGAIN I had to sit between sis n him.. Haih.. Imagine.. All sitting so close each other.. I was tryin to let my ‘package’ touch him.. But he was like.. Come on.. Come closer.. Hahah.. Wtf.. My gong gong oso sat between someone out to the town..
