“Simple”update

First of all, Happy New Year!
Well, not officially 21 years old this year,
but I changed a lot during the last year.
Not going to conclude anything about last year,
since it's already the 5th day of 2011.
However, still need to update about some memorable time on the last few days in 2011.

Since I went to ShangHai,
I seldom post my life over there.
Probably because it's quite hard for me to on Blogger there,
(have to use VPN to do so)
or it's because nothing is worth for me to write?

Whatever it is, I went back HOME,my second HOME.
I am so happy and excited when I stepped in the terminal,
I greet myself: Welcome Home! And I forced my b.g.f. to say so.:P
Nice weather, nice people, familiar surroundings, familiar sounds,
clean streets, systematic uni, healthy food...etc.
Oops..and malaysian gang!Miss them so much there.
2 more coming back,stay tuned!

Feel thankful to J and S,
I am really happy to see them in ShangHai.
I can't feel any distance or awkwardness between us,
and I am glad we don't.

We travel together to FengHuang, in HuNan province.
It's a very small town full of surprises.
Before going there, my friend told me that it's not a good travelling place because it's too commercial.
"Do not follow others,dare to be unique, dare to explore yourself"--I should say.
I admit that it's commercialise, but if you want to develop a city to become tourist area,
the fact is it will become commercialise, the only matter is how commercial it is.

However, we do like this small town, because it gave us too many surprises.
We swear that we are going to come back after 10years,
bringing our family, and do not call us AUNTY,but EE EE.
---Really can't imagine after 10 years, J and S's kids are going to call me YAN ee ee....----:O
Somebody will be curious of what kind of surprises we will get in that small town.
Well, it's not that "gift's"surprise, it's experience I should say.
And we met different surprises everyday.
Some shocked us, and some is annoying, some is interesting.

Let's start with the annoying part.
It's early morning and the weather is just nice.
We went out for breakfast and look for dessert.
An old woman from 苗族 ask us if we want to take photo with their traditional costumes.
Actually we are planning to do so, but we need to get our dessert and finish it only we want to take photos.
We told the old woman that we are going to go back after we finish,
and we swear we will look for her and give her the deal.
I thought we make it crystal clear, but she keeps following us to buy dessert.
On the journey, I keep ask her to go back and stated that we are going to finish the dessert and do some window shopping, which will take quite a long time.
I am not sure if she knows Chinese, cause she can only speaks her own language.
At the end, she followed us to a creative shop and we gave her RMB1 only she left while scolding us.
Super annoying. I tried to talk to her, find others to talk to her, but none of the work.
She made me mad and I almost lost my mind and patience.
"Surprise"of the day --> Annoying woman.

On the day we planed to leave,
we talked and took photos with a Soya Bean aunty.
Feel weird? Yea, kinda weird, but it's fun.
Until the second last day we stay in FengHua,
we found her shop selling home made soy milk.
She has black bean, green bean, peanut and milk and yellow bean's soy milk.
You can even mix all of them if you want.
In the last day's morning, we bought from her and went to a restaurant for breakfast.
I feel like having one more cup and I went back to her.
I called her twice and she came out and showed surprise face to me and say she thought it's kid calling her since my voice sounds sweet. I replied: It's because I drank your soy milk!
She was so happy and start talking to me while making soy milk.
We talked a lot and end up with 1 new cup of medium soy milk which I only order a small one.
After travelling to other places, we decided to go back and buy again.
We talked and laughed again, ask her to open a store in HK, Msia,etc.
We even promised her we will be back after 10 years,
and ask her not to mover her store. She laugh and says, I won't, I will wait for you.
How sweet the aunty are.
Surprise of the day--> Interesting aunty and full cup of soy milk!:P

Can't forget our hostel's person in charge.
In fact, it's their house, and both husband and wife serve us.
Both of them are very nice.
They bring us to show, direct us good restaurants, and give us free heater.
We have a long talk with the wife, asked about the reason they opened the hostels and many other topics.
I still can recall that she doesn't like her mother-in-law(if i m not mistaken)

In FengHuang, we always talk to the local people.
From the conversation, we can know more about their culture and their daily life.
We can't get this kind of information or experience from traveller's guide, and not even the books.
All you need to do is dare to open your mouth and talk to them, listen to them and feel them.
This is so call "TRAVEL", isn't it?
Travel is not about to take photos and sight seeing only,
it will be a very good experience if you can go into local's life.
This time, we did it. :)

FengHua, we are going back with the title of "ee ee" or "mummy"and "wife",
hope we still feel like treasure hunting after 10 years!

After leaving FengHua, we went to HangZhou and took a lot of nice photos.
My little red miss J and S so  much and finally we can take photo together!

-->Fast Forward<--
Finally meet my dear roomie and KarShin, seniors and juniors.
Juniors are cute and seniors are funny.LOL
And my HK friends!
Miss them so much, but it feels so good to see them again without any weird feelings.
Especially Faye,she pinched me when she first saw me.
Feel so familiar with everything.
The uni, the people, the streets, the culture.

After leaving HK only  I realise how much I love HK
and how much it means to me.

Lastly, will be very busy this semester, probably will not update so frequently because my workload is quite heavy.
Besides, need to remind myself my goal for this semester: Study hard and Enjoy life...AND Do more exercises!!

Last lastly, Welcome home YAN!:D
