Frankly speaking tho being a chinese myself -in Singapore, I did not have good impression of chinese from China.
Why So? I guess even chinese from different part of the world adopts different culture, principles or survival skills.
Many would agree with me the view of 'chinese'. They are 'not simple' people..
someone once told me..to speak to a chinese from China, your brain has to turn 10x faster...if you know what I mean.
My impression of Chinese did not change and grew even stronger..esp in Beijing...those people are rude...and sigh........
But things changed when I reached our hometown Quanzhou..near Xiamen.
The place..which is our original hometown...its a country side...
An amazing place..filled with the sweetest people on earth...pure, sincere and sweet till it melts your heart..
People there does not look any outstanding.............but after knowing them....their inner beauty leaves a deep impression that can hardly be erase from one's heart....
Our distant relative came in 3 cars after nearly 2 hours journey to fetch me and my family to our 'house' to stay.
Welcoming us is the air of the mother nature...and unique views of the country side...muds and whatever you can ever think of...
Our cars stopped at a nice 'posh' house among the old bricked house..its one of my uncle's house and my grandpa's house..which they built themselve...
It is also our Clan house I supposed.
The house was huge and nice...floor is made of marbles...so its very cooling...
The living room itself is as big as my present apartment I supposed..
Each house has a well and they uses electronic pump to pump the well water into the water tank on top of the roof for usage.
Meals were cooked over the stove by woods...not gas...first time in my life I actually see how they cook with wood and not gas...and everything we eat is freshly from our own farm or the neighbours/relatives farm, all freshly pluck from the field.
Food taste delicious....yummy...everyone esp dad's appetite got so good that they start eating bowls after bowls of rice.....
Its a short 4days stay with our relative and we bidded goodbye with tears in our eyes..my uncles start crying when we were at the airport bidding goodbye...
our hearts felt so heavy and sunk....I tried my best to hold back those tears of mine..indeed thank God for these wonderful trip...its really changed my impression of chinese from China...and I am proud to be from this same family line...
I will visit them whenever possible if we have the money...
My dad can't wait to go back there again..just like everyone of us...but seriously...
this China and HK trip has spent nearly my entire saving...and I have to start saving up again...
But first for my UK trip for my graduation in London next year.
May our Lord provide me with all my needs and bless me...thank you Lord for everything!

Trade shows this week
Has spiders made themselves home in my blog???
Sorry guys that I have been so busy that I didn't have time to update my blogs.
Currently in CommunicAsia 2010 in Singapore Expo.
Not much crowd over the communication side...I guess broadcasting side would be more interesting but my biz partner seems to be missing in this show bz collecting data and meeting people around the show..so I am left in this booth all by myself..
Good thing I gotten a mobile modem so that I can surf my internet and check office email and reply email here...otherwise I will be bored to death I supposed..
This week I am so occupied with trade shows..
Mon: spent half day in the office..and the other half of the day setting up in this trade show with my HK biz partner...its tough to do the setup just two of us...We finished off the setup about 6.30pm and I was so exhausted and hungry..had to miss my ASM class for Monday.
Tuesday: Woke up at 6.15am set off to the airport to catch my 8am flight to KL for the fire exhibition...all by myself...thanks to my shi fu...another HK biz partner who withdraw from going last min..leaving me all alone in our neighbouring country Malaysia.
Seriously this is the first time that I went to Malaysia all alone. I have never been a country all alone or should I say..at least I always have people I know to meet me in those countries I go even if I were to travel alone.
My lady boss was nice, she called me while I was in the KL exhibition to make sure I am fine and safe..ask me to be careful since I am all alone there. I guess ladies are more concern.
Mum was worried and asked sis to text me to see if I am alright and ask me to text her when I am safely home that night.
I took the KL airport limousine which about appx RM75 to reach the KL CC.
He is a nice guy SYED..and I made an arrangement for him to fetch me after the show and some walk around before I catch my 945pm flight.
After the fire exhibition I took a cab -base on the tips by SYED i.e. never to ask how much it cost to take a cab from one place to another..take only those taxi with meter (how do you know? its written on top of the taxi "Brotimeter" something like that..if they run by the meter they cannot overcharge u.
So it costed me RM6plus to reach Time Square.
I went there to eat and shop alittle..but after an hour..I am so tired..and wanna sleep..so exhausted and leg is aching...
So I called the Syed to pick me up at 6.45pm instead.
Meanwhile sis ask me to go to get something for mum so I went..there don't wanna waste my trip..so bought two shoes then Syed picked me up to go airport..we were early..syed saved me RM10 to airport..and if I were to take any other taxi..from the shopping mall..it probably can cost me over RM100.
Its a tired day for me...finally took the flight back to SIngapore..reaching home sweet home at about 11plus just before midnight..
then before I could even settle down, I had to give my dog lily injection for her kidney treatment. (Last week brought lily-my black dog to the Animal doctor and doctor said Lily has kidney failure needs injection of two tubes of medication every two days..initially doctor asked me to bring her there every two days for injection which will cost me S$25 each time..do u know how much it will cost me??? She has to take this medication until the day she finish her mission on earth.
I told the doctor we are all working and studying no money..and I have another sick dog at home. I cant afford and I have another dog with a huge lump which I will bring her for check up. Ally my white dog has a huge lump growing underneath her tummy..tho she is still happily jumping around and I know that she needs treatment before it gets worst. Pray that God will help us to settle without having much financial problems..God bless..
Do keep my dogs in prayer okie..Lily looks like getting better..and I am planning to bring Ally to the vet next week.
Anyway back to exhibition..after a day at KL exhibition...I came to help out the next day in CommunicAsia -Singapore expo.
And guess what, Joyce my best friend and Cindy my buddy happens to be working in this show too...we just have lunch together this afternoon.
Food here sucks..and is sooo expensive..the parking kills.....I am gonna get ready for heart attack this evening...hopefully won't cost my more than 20bucks....sweat...
