Cup Noodles Life
Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Time flies, and even if the days are bad, they pass, and even if the days are good, they still pass.
I realised that the days in Nanjing pretty much fly past, just when I am getting use to this standard routine, we are going to be leaving soon. I guess thats life, we have to adapt as we go.
Today, I went out to give surveys with Yijia again. Yijia really very daring, she approached this group of gangster looking like guys, and managed to get them to help do survey. They were like asking us about Singapore, and whether chewing gum and smoking is against the law. When we said yes, they asked what would happen if they chewed gum and smoked, and we said go jail, and they starting laughing and saying that if they live in Singapore, they would wind up in jail everyday. We are thankful to get more people to help us to do surveys today. Although we spent 3 hours, it was worth it. Furthermore, today many people realised that Singaporeans actually speak chinese, 2 friends even commented that our chinese were better than Hongkong people. However, they also know about our Singlish. Which is not that good a culture I think. :P I think Singapore's government is really good in the sense that they implement this policy. It is really beneficial to us in the long term.
Today, we went shopping again at the same place. As usual, I did not spend a single cent. At this rate, I might wind up having more money when I come back cos they always give us around 100rmb at each place. I am NOT stingy, is just that there is really nothing for me to buy.
I am now chatting with my family, and I dunno why, but from my sister's msn talking and from the posts on her blog she seems to be like a changed person. The way she talk and writes on her blog is like so grown up! I think when I go home I wont even recognise her, cos she is also going to be secondary already. Moreover, she is a genius! I am proud to have such a great clever sis, who always beat me in msn games. :P
I cant wait to go home to see my family again. I miss Singapore's tropical weather and the Singlish. Over here, I try my best to speak in Chinese only, cos if we speak in english, we are only courting trouble. Weird people will follow us and we cannot haggle well if they know we are foreigners.
I am now eating instant noodles, cos nothing on the streets appeal to me. I still feel hungry nowsadays even after eating one instant noodles and drinking milo! I am a pig. I admit. Cos today I finished one whole big bowl of rice and a whole plate of potato, and I still felt hungry. How much of a pig can I be?! I am just going to eat everything up when I go home!
GTG, Bye!
