Of buying shoes when you're a big feet woman in China...

we went to town today! My feet is aching from all the walking we did T.T It still hasn't healed from the climbing.. hurhur

We took the public bus for the first time too! It was very very crowded. The ride to town because most of the standing passengers were Ngee Ann students. The trip back was because there are always people going out of town. So I was a sardine in a tin can twice today.

Me and Xenia went out with Jovin, Clarissa, Kristine and Jun Li. Or more specifically, evil twin one, stone, the old one and the pabo stone. Teehee XP We went to a shopping mall in town, and had Starbucks before we went shopping.

We bought presies. I bought for my friends back in Singapore, and I hope they like it. I still have, like, four more to go, so I’m really stressing out on what to buy for them. The thing is, Xenia asks me what to get for Atiqah, Nicole and Esther. And then I decide for her, I don’t have any more ideas to buy my present for them. T.T So now I’m trying to think of what to buy for them, and the problem is, the row of shops outside the school has very limited items, so I have to go into the city to buy more presents. But I’m not sure if we’re going into the city anymore…

But the good thing is, we found a bubble tea shop that sells milk tea that tastes like what we have in Singapore! The few we’ve tried tastes like chocolate milk so, yeah… I ordered jasmine milk tea, and it was sooooooooo awesome! I got another cup to bring back to the apartment, kekekeke. But it was really good, the jasmine taste was really strong, the milk tea also has nice, thick milk so I loved it! Miss Mikia, Jovin, Jun Li, Kristine and Clarissa went to buy it too. Jovin got the original one and Miss Mikia got the same one as me, jasmine milk tea. :D

On the bus ride back, I named my new Stitch! I got it partly for my new bag, and totally because I like Stitch, and I have a Stitch plushie back at home. My new addition is really cute! Look at it! Don’t you think it’s cute???? Anyways, on the bus, Jovin was playing with my Stitch. She was sitting down, and my back and bagpack was facing her, so she started squishing my Stitch! I was like, ‘Stop abusing my poor little Stitchy!’ but she kept squishing it (T.T) and in the end, I ended up calling my Stitch Squitch… I was trying to say ‘Stop squishing my Stitch!’ and it came out ‘Stop squitching my squitch!’ Lol until now I still don’t know what happened but I know Jovin heard it and she laughed at me =.=

So now my little cute Stitch has been renamed to Squitch! I think it’s a good name. XP

Lil' Squitchy's defeated enemies at the bottom!

two pairs of earrings at the top corners and the notebook

But other than that, these are my stash! :D I bought all these for less than 200 Yuan, which is less than 40 dollars in Singapore! The shoes cost less than 10 bucks in Singapore! It’s 49 Yuan, so it’s 9 bucks plus back there. But me and Jovin were hunting for shoes in the shopping mall in the city, but all of the sizes were only up till 39 for women’s shoes! My foot size is 40, but I like to wear looser shoes, I only buy 41 sized shoes! And the shoes here don’t even reach size 40! I thought it would be easier for me to buy shoes here but it turned out the opposite. It’s just not fair that the Chinese(in China) people in general has such small feet. T.T

We went to EAT STREET FOOD TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME! We ate fried rice! I tried dried sausage(it’ called la chang in Chinese) and egg fried rice. It’s pretty nice J didn’t bother to take photo because I ate it before I remembered to take a photo of it. LOL but after dinner we didn’t really do much else, just walking around, waiting for my dinner to digest when we walked across a shoe store. Me and Jovin still hasn’t given up hunting for our high top sneakers so we went in to investigate. We had more or less given up on looking at the women’s section for shoes so we gravitated towards the men’s section after oohing and aahing at the women’s shoes on display. Then one shoe caught me and Jovin’s eye. She wanted to get these but then she tried on another one and she decided to buy that, and I bought these. I’m going to wear them out tomorrow to give them a test, but I think they’ll do fine, don’t you think? :D

those blue dots are actually stars :D

Oh and then we came back to the apartment to bathe and went over to Lynnie’s and Moni’s apartment. We were doing our project’s stuff and then Xenia saw Monisha’s toenail. she painted her large toenail green, and I remembered it looked like mould xolour because we just did a module on microbiology, and we did a chapter on fungi. So our lecturer showed us some pictures of mould growing in the toes, and I just blurted out that Moni’s toenails looked likeit had mould growing in them. Then Lynn started laughing hysterically. I don’t know why she finds it that funny, but she said the directness of the way I blurted it out was really funny. So I turned from laughing at the mould joke to laughing at Lynn laughing my joke of Monisha’s nails. Erm LOL

Then we came back and I went to show off my new kicks to Priscilla and the rest, and then somehow or another we ended up talking about GPA and then we started hating on(nah we’re not that bad) those people who gets higher GPA or pretty good GPA and then they start moaning about how bad their GPA. =.= I mean, you ain’t seen nothing yet yo. Hmph.

But, overall, I think today was a good day! I had good milk tea, bought presies(I like buying presents for friends), bought high tops(which I’ve been hunting for since I don’t know when) and had a few (my abs had a good workout today ^ ^) good laughs along the whole day so I’m glad.

I’ve made some new friends on this trip, like my roomies, and grown closer to Clarissa, Jun Li and Kristine. :D

My wifi is wonky today, I think there might be someone skyping out there so not too many pics today. And I still have to study for common test next Wednesday, but I don’t think I’ll do it today… too tired from all that walking and standing around(but shopping is really fun!). But I will definitely study tomorrow morning. Teehee :D

Fighting! Peace out~~~ <3
