the empire (of china) strikes back

Wheeeeeeeeee...

So fun! Finally the chinese people get to have very much lot of fun while the non chinese taking people sit around being bored. usually its the other way round but NOT TODAY MUAHAHAHAH. OMGoodness... Mdm Ong our chinese teacher is soo officially my favourite (and i think faith and aysuria's) teacher in RJC. move over, all ye english speakers! haha.

Weel anyways Wang Laoshi decided impromptu-ly last Friday while we were at the computer labs browsing thru some sites about chinatown for our ke4 wen2 that she should bring us to chinatown itself so we could really learn about niu2 che1 shui3. we thought she was joking.. but being har crazy self she was damn serious. so we were packed into a cab (sans vleeda and vickie cos they had some mundane stuff on [muahaha]) and popped to chinatown with our fellow chinese takers from S01. woohoohoo.

It was really kinda surreal. like when we were at the hawker centre (which sells f-ing delicious stuff demmit). i mean like everywhere you see it's filled with tumbled baskets, wet floors, people in singlets and polo ralph (YES AYSURIA I KNOW THEY'RE CHEAP PIRATED COPYCAT POLO RALPH) polo-clad uncles wearing slippers and making black marks all over the floor. and like ten minutes ago we were in squeaky clean RJC. how big a change is that?? haha. but it was kinda funny. started taking pics of everything... whee. can show everyone someday larh. AND you should have seen aysuria at the hawker centre... she was like "eek so dirty how to sit" and i was like "well to sit you just place your posterior onto the stool". haha so ays you TAI TAI. hehe. so anyways my incredibly kan cheong chi teacher starts zooming off everywhere to grab munchies for her students. she plonked 50 whole bucks on the table and told us (TRANSLATION: wait one down the consumable objects arrive, use this 50 chunks come return money). she led the uncle who sold bah chor mee to our table and we thot she only bought that. then came the three plates of dumplings. fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and ngo hiang. mmm. then came the satay bee hoon. sumptious twangy bee hoon smothered in smooth creamy sweet and savoury satay sauce with chewy sotongs and crunchy peanuts. then came the famous zhu1 she3 zhou1 (pig's whatever porridge) omg... so creamy and delicious. and then came not one, but TWO whole claypots of claypot rice. sweet rice with fragrant chicken, chinese sausage, etc... argh. and the burnt rice stuck to the sides of the claypot (guo1 ba1) is so yum. yum yum yum. whee. AND BEST OF ALL IT WAS LIKE TOTALLY FREE COS OUR TR PAID FOR IT! omg. and the food was so yum. we were all so damn stuffed man.. cannot eat dinner. omg. did i mention the food was yum? and no, bridget you can't try to take chinese now. muahaha.

HAH gripe gripe velda is jealous now!

*velda hurls something at rich*

huh? what, did i say something wrong?

ANYWAYS after the yum lunch we went to the wet market. quite smelly and wet but it was really fun. saw all the live frogs and shan1 rei4 (snapping turtles) waiting to be slaughtered. too bad din see any killings tho... sigh. oh yeah and ays din like it. aw...

well after wet marketing we chionged to the yuan2 mao4 guan3. no, it's not the round hat tube, its the place where they recreated old chinatown in the form of an amazing three story shophouse exhibit. the wonders of the STB. and its a damn cool place larh!! omg. the whole damn thing was so realistic and interesting... eek. the recreated toilet was so darn cool man... and we wrote lots of cool stuff in the guestbook (ask ays or faith). man... soo darn cool. really can't describe it you gotta see it yourself. students entry costs only 4 bucks! that's like 1/7 of a dim sum dolly. whoo. AND YOU NOE WATS THE BEST PART? IT WAS COMPLETELY FREE! laoshi flashed her secret weapon, known as the credit card, and it was over in less than five seconds. muahaha.

whee i love laoshi!! ahah.
