Harrow! Happie New Year! May the new year be smooth-sailing and full of joy for everyone and those whom you hold dear! well, uncle says i have to have a new year resolution... ok i shall strive to eat more pratas and take more naps as usual! hahahahahaha... IN YOUR FACE, UNCLE LOH!!!!
well, mummy says i should write about the China trip so i think i better get to work, wait mummy dun buy me prata then i cannot fulfill my new year resolution *GASP* oh well, mummy took me to Chengdu, in the state of Sichuan in China from 12th December to 19th December 2007. We take China Airlines there. My mummy and i were so bored on flight. coz nothing to watch for in-flight entertainment one. mummy wants to take SIA next time. uncle loh, you hear that?
anyway, mummy already had it good. at least she can sit in a proper seat ok. she stuffed me into the luggage again. %!$%#$^&%#&(** so cramped and uncomfortable. but mummy says no choice. coz i no passport :( later i go China the gong an might catch me :( then you know ah, they eat everything in China one. wait they catch me and cook me for dinner....
anyway, during the China trip, mummy went up to Jiu Zhai Gou. the scenery very beautiful. she visited the lake where they filmed "Hero", starring Tony Leong, Jet Lee and Maggie Cheung. It's the scene when Maggie Cheung's character was lying dead in a pavilion in the middle of the lake and the other two male leads just fly fly around and fight. We also visited some of the sites where they filmed "Xi You Ji" i don't know that show coz i havent born yet mah. but my mummy has fond memories of it... anyway, the scenery at Jiu Zhai Gou was really very nice but IT WAS SO COLD! my mummy could not stop sniffing lor. then she wrapped up until like rice dumpling like that. look so clumsy!
my mummy and her colleagues also visited a shop where they sold traditional costumes of the Han Chinese. Strictly speaking cheongsam is not the traditional dress of the Chinese. It is the traditional dress of the Manchus (you know, those guys with the pig tails and the ladies of the court like wear pieces of cardboard on their heads), hardly the ethnic majority in China (by the way, there are 56 ethnic groups in China, I SO KNOWLEDGEABLE RIGHT??!!) well, anyway, the Han dress is like what you see in the Chinese period drama lor. kimono-like but material much lighter and have very very long flowing sleeves which i think are very useful. coz can shield sunlight lah, wipe sweat lah, sneeze into in lah, etc. my mummy tried on a traditional Han dress for formal ceremonies. the base is black, trimmed with red and with a black and red belt with gold trimmings. mummy's colleagues got take photos. next time we show you ok, uncle?
we also go and see pandas when we were in Chengdu. THEY SO LAZY AND STUPID ONE! we go there at nine am and their keepers were putting out breakfast for them. all of them were huddled together, sleeping. i tell u how they sleep ok, they sit down, bury their heads in their paws, all curled up like a ball. their keepers had to yell at them to wake up and eat. then they eat and eat and eat then some curl up and sleep again. the guide said that in summer when the weather is very hot, the keepers will freeze fruits within blocks of ice. then the panda will hug the ice-cubes to sleep because that kept them cool. and when the ice blocks melt, they will feast on the fruits inside. ai-yoh, like that also can! so lazy!
anyway, i tired of writing already. i write about panda sleeping now i also sleepy.... *YAWN* i go take nap now. bye bye!
P.S. UNCLE LOH! i got write long long ok! i good boy????
