Day 4




























































































Finally a day for us to sleep in for a little while! I got up at 10 today, and the first thing I heard was Lilin laughing, saying that my dumbass bf asked her to kick me awake. -.- Thanks alot darling. And she really poked me, but apparently I had no reaction whatsoever. HAHAHAHA. Dead to the world man, really tiring every single day.

After that, we set off on our day on our trusty BUS!! But! It was raining! The first time that it rained since we set foot here in Zhuhai! So instead of visiting the Fisherman's Wife statue, we went for LUNCH. Like OMG please, we were told to meet at 10.45, so I think most of us ate breakfast at around 10.30?? And our dinner would be at 4.45!! What wonderful planning. So anyway, drove down to this stretch of restaurants quite nearby, about 10 minutes away from campus I think? We settled for this decent looking restaurant and starting ordering dim sum left right center!! Cuz we thought that the dishes would be like similar to Singapore ma, like maybe 5 xiaolong bao per long, and 2 chichiongfan per plate. OMFG the we ordered like 3 or 4 of each dish, and they just kept coming! Those HUMUNGOUS DISHES. I think the chichiongfan can feed 4 people already. -.- AND WE ORDERED 5 PLATES!!

LOLOLOL

We donated 3 plates to the other tables of our TRM peeps, but our table was still fucking overflowing! Even the teachers were laughing at us. But we persevered! We tried to finish as much as possible, and the Ha Kau was delish can! 4 small but fresh prawns in each one! *drool* We ta ba the rest and off we went to the statue. The story behind the statue is quite romantic and sad. Its this statue of a lady, wearing some netting dress, holding a big torch/light over her head, apparently, she is the wife of a fisherman who went out to sea regularly. And she would always wait for him to come back with her light. But one day there was a thunderstorm, and he didn't come back. So she stood there with her guiding light waiting and waiting till she turned into stone. Damn sad right!! So now, because ZhuHai is by the sea, and there are alot of fishermen here, everyone who goes out to sea will pray to her to keep them safe with her guiding light. :)

From the pictures, you can see the wind is like crazy la!! And it was high tide! The waves were totally crashing into the jetty area around the statue! I was the only brave soul out of the 6 girls to head out to the actual statue, cuz they didn't want to get hit by the huge waves. I am glad to say that I made it safely! :D And the guys were there, so I got them to take photos for me! YAY! After that, we went to this Sun Yat Sen Park thingy, and took lots of photos. It was the location of his old home, and there were many many replicas. It was from the 20's I think, and there was even this little mini 'olden days' kinda village for us to explore! We only found out that area after like 45 minutes at the boring museum! So sad la! We could have spent more time exploring the village! It was so much more interesting.

After that, we went to this Indian restaurant (!!!) for our dinner, and every single dish was damn spicy!! T.T And one of our crazy course mates called JT aka Superstar, went on the stage to imitate Michael Jackson, DAMN FUNNY LA! LOL. Cuz there was this TV playing his concert DVD, so she just kept following what he did, and once the camera was like shooting the audience or whatever, she started just waving and swaying around cuz she didn't know what the next moves were. HAHAHA. Total LOL. AND THEN! The freakin chef came out and did a real imitation! haha quite fun dinner.

We left the restaurant around 7pm, by then the sky was starting to turn dark and cloudy, very windy! Almost like a typhoon! Quite scary when it rains here in ZhuHai. And then it started raining, so the performance at the Summer Palace replica of the Forbidden City was cancelled. And the people on our bus suggested that we head to Gongbei again, which is this shopping mall that we went to a few days ago, but didn't get much time to shop. So we went, and tada!! I bought a Longchamp bag, brown (fake) for S$10!!! Looks almost exactly the same as the real thing! And also a fake Ralph Polo tee! Looks good, and also for S$10!! HAHAHAHAHA.

I AM ON SHOPPING HIGH. :D

Reached the hostel around 9.40pm, cammed with darling and mummy, and now its sleep time!
