Peekture of the week

Little Tripping

The office planned a little getaway trip over the weekend. Lodging and food were not provided. So pathetic and many thot it was quite miserly of some corporation, but it didn't dampened our spirits at all and there were a strong turnup of 15 people out of the 25 people in the office!

And we had lotsa fun!!! especially the nite when all the young people were sitting at the timber bench with poker cards stuck to their foreheads playing the guessing 'Who is the smallest loser' game. And the nite were really crazy when we started playing 7up , multiples of 8 and 9 and most of us were so high that we couldn't even count from our fingers!

ritey! will post more photos of nan-ao for you gals to see!

im so surprised to see such beautiful beaches in china!!! Now i dun even need to look forward to phuket or krabi, it's all here and within 2 hours of travel!

Goodbye 南澳

ritey, and i'm back here once more to post and tell all about my beachy trip. Yes. and it was bumpy ride on the speedboat, i reckon the china chinese were very thrilled on it every second of the way. Within minutes, we had reached our kelong! and one of our colleagues started ordering our 'live' food straightup! While the rest were snapping photos away at the sunset including yours truly, ah ren was napping in my new pink AgnesB voyage bag.

whoa, the nite was truly a feast on seafood! we had 3 different kinds of shellfood, 2 different prawns, squids, 2 ways of cooked fish, mussels and crabs!

Then we had veggies and stirfried seafood rice.

*BURPS*

left the kelong about 8pm and jammed all the way back to the little hut. Becos china people ah, always want to cut queue then in the end block a single lane traffic. Can you imagine that they will go opposite lane, against the traffic just to be slightly ahead of you? Siao man these people.

anyway, by the time we got back it was 9pm plus and the whole bunch of us were sleepy but wide awake! and raring to go man! Bring out the poker cards!!! and it was a poker nite till 12mn. Bugged eye with booze and maths in our heads. Drunken laughters hit the roof, hands waved across tables, chaotic ah!

what a way to end the nite.
china isnt so bad afterall.

Tripping in the hot sultry afternoon

Finally after 2 or more so hours on the mini van, watching bits and pieces of shenzhen; parts of the terra firma which i have never seen before.... im pleased to announced that...

*holler* WE ARE HERE! *holler*

haha, take in a deep breath of the salty balmy breeze and soak in the sunshine! As the van drove to a halt, everyone was so glad to come out from the rickety rackety van. Guys and girls in shorts and tees, hastened their bags to their shoulders and jumped out of the vehicle.

As i stepped down from the van and walked alittle up the slope, i saw the whole seaview.

Tranquility.

The whole place had this laidback atmosphere which puts me quickly at ease and a sense of calm although i was still abit apprehensive when thoughts of the little hut's toilet came to my mind. I shall quickly chuck those moments aside for now! Truly, these few months had passed by like a blink of an eye but not without stress and many late nights. I keep telling wj that from May to October, there isn't any public holidays for us and we really must take a break cos although it was only july, i already felt like a overly stretched rubberband.

My little get-away was way overdued.

Hammocks were swaying in the wind and there were a few young lads half naked walking abouts. Dogs overturned and laid on their backs for me to rub their tummys like i was some kind of familiar face. I think they must be very used to strangers by now. i scratched afew and decided that it was enuff. Never know how clean these dogs are. Chances are nil. Keys were given out to us by now. Whoppee. Let's take a peek!

After putting our things down, we went to the seaside, without hesitation, wj jumped into the sparkling waters leaving me by the big umbrella, slapping on cakes of sunblock, and i was wearing my hat and sunnies, just incase the SPF50 sunblock doesnt work. If there's one thing in life which i have learnt, it will be: We must always have backup plans.

After about 3 hours or so in the hot sweltering sun and gotten myself a new spanky green swimwear. Notice i didnt say bikini! cos i didnt buy one! haha i got myself a sporty bra top and a little skirt in limey green! woooo......and just for the price of $30RMB. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP.

After all that sun, wj and i decided to join the rest of the other guys at the cafe hut who have long abandoned the sun and sea for a cuppa ice cold beer. *slurps*

But hey, im really not ready for alcohol so early in the day! and thanks for the invite guys! wj and i decided to opt for a cuppa hot milk tea instead.

ever heard of ....心静自然凉.... you get the point.

and the silky milk tea came in such pretty petite plastic cups and pot. So lovely! make my day even cherrier. I just simply lurve pretty little stuff along the way to brighten everything up!

okie, will tell you gals more on dinner later....keep tuned in!

小木屋

these are the little wooden huts which we stayed overnite in. very minimal with almost clean white sheets (i found a few strands of long hair! So tells me that...okay before me it was a woman, if not must be some wacky hiao hiao man!!!) on top of 2 very hard supersized single beds, a barred up window with green panels, a squatted towel bowl, okay wouldnt even fit saying it's a bowl. So it's a squatting pan, yah that was the word which i was looking for. Yah so i peed in a pan. EWWWWWWW! and on the side of the wall was an attached shower. So close to the squatting pan that when i move im so afraid that i will stuck my foot in it! So it was a very very very small toilet, kinda like the ones which u see in maids' toilets. Hmm, maybe mine was even worse than theirs. So the most fortunate thing that the hut had was hot water and AIRCON! and oh.... we had a black cockroach visiting us that afternoon too.

hi roachy.. you should have quietly stayed in that corner, why did u have to go flying about the little hut which we had to share together? too bad u are dead now.
i never like insects. hate them.

Tripping

we hired a mini van to take us to 南澳,which was one of the famous beaches in Guangdong province. It is slightly off of shenzhen and takes about 2 hours drive to reach there. On the way there we stopped for some kampong (local) dishes like the 窑鸡 and the bamboo pot of assorted meat. The eating venue was stringed up with huts, and each hut was an eating room. So you walk along the path and u will find huts on your left and right. Quite interesting and each hut had a balcony which cantilevered out towards the mountains.

After eating, we continued our travel....photos will continue soon too!
