  • 7 July 2011 - FuZhou Day 1

    So one day, i decided to pack my bag and flew to XiaMen all by myself. 

     

    Final destination: FuZhou, China. 

     

    So why FuZhou? Haha, im too lazy to summarized up everything it here, i'd just explain thru captions. laughing

     

     

     

    So, i woke up really early that day! OR, did i even sleep?? 

    AH!!! shockedshockedshocked Horrifying thighs~!!! AND what was i wearing? Fit-flops?? SIGH! Fashion disaster! 

     

     

    Boarding at 0715, that means i went to the airport at 0500... So i probably woke up at 0400 that morning! Madness! 

     

     

     

    I know i was fatter in the past! (3 years ago!) 

     

     

     

     

     

    Awwww! I love love love love LOVE Lancome's spot eraser! 

     

     

     

     

     

    All alone in the plane. #foreveralone

     

    I wish i could lay flat like these people too! I could totally use some nap for a 5hrs flight. 

     

    Air China, no comments. 

     

     

    *TING-TING!*

     

    I've arrived at XiaMen train station! Now, i gotta get myself a train ticket to FuZhou and believe me, i absolutely have no clue about anything!  

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Got someone to get my tickets for me. It's really troublesome to get train tickets w/ passports! censored

     

     

     

     

     

    laughinglaughinglaughinglaughinglaughing Damn right, im in China. You'll meet people from ALL walks of life! laughing

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Inside the ticketing counter, LOST! I had a really really really hard time communicating and getting my way around. 

     

    BUT! I somehow got someone to carry all my luggages for me. RMB$30 ~ SGD$6. OKAY, DEAL! 

     

    She's so strong! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Waiting for the train.....

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Heh, i can camwhore ANYWHERE, ANYTIME even when im alone. laughing

     

     

     

     

     

    Time checked: 1643. Almost 13hours since i woke up. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Took a cab to my place. I WAS DYING!

     

     

    ....and im finally at my place! 

     

     

     

    This is exactly how it looks like around my FuZhou House. Like directly outside my guardhouse. BORING x 10000000! 

     

    Hahaha, so now you know where i live? Nah, dont bother, i dont even live there? It's for investment! I dont live there unless visit FuZhou. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Looks like nothing have changed. 

     

    Looks scary? Ha, this was quite yummy. pleased

     

    YAY! Finally! Curtains! There wasn't any curtains when i went there in Year 2010. 

     

     

     

    永辉超市!

     

     

     

    AND SOME METALLIC GREEN BUG BIT/STANG ME! 

     

     

    This is about the size of a quail egg. SCARY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE FLYING INSECTS! 

     

     

    Okay! That's about it! 

     

    Till then!!

  • 2 July 2011 - Malacca Getaway

    This post dates back to Year 2011.... I know i am EXTREMELY back-dated on my Xanga and this makes me extremely sad and im definitely not motivated to blog anymore. BUT BUT BUT, i cant just let go of my memories like that! This post has been in my draft for the LONGEST time and i just not motivated to update it! Damn sad! 

     

    So for now, i will only be updating my holiday & vacations here! Please please please bear with me! For current updates, please go to www.michellequek.net 

     

     

    -----------

     

    So, one day, my girlfriend had a tiff with her guy, so we had a little get-away with her to Malacca!

     

    I believe most girls have this "girl's code" among themselves, sometimes, unspoken. 

     

    Code #1: NEVER EVER touch each other's guy! 

    Code #2: Never ever date girlfriends' ex, at least for awhile. 

     

    My girls mean alot to me! I will go ALL-OUT for them! Aries are extremely loyal people/friends! 

     

    Well, apparently, these codes does not register in alot of girls' mind. Slut. My fiancé for example! His ex-girlfriend of maybe 5 years keeps sending him her own camwhore photos and lovey dovey postcards from places she has been to. They have already ended the relationship 4 years ago. THE THING IS, SHE CHEATED ON HIM WHILE STILL BEING TOGETHER AND NOW, SHE CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT MY EXISTENCE YET SHE'S STILL DOING IT! OH BEST PART? SHE'S ALREADY ATTACHED NOW. BORN A WHORE PLEASE! 

    Maybe i should blog about her in my current blog. We shall see. 

     

     

    Clear skies. I love sunsets!  

     

     

     A slight jam over at the second-link customs. 

     

     

     

     Got myself a smart-tag so i dont have to stop my car to pay toll! One of the best buys ever! 

     

     

     

     Picked my poor girl up and we hit the roads of North-south highway! 

     

    I cant remember where we had this, but it was pretty yummy.

     

    ...... 2.5 hours later! Ta-da we arrived in Malacca!! 

     

     

    We didn't book any hotel so we went each and every hotel to ask if there's any room left. The only room left was a suite and it cost rm$500 per night. whatevah

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     Night-tour around malacca. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    We wanted to stay here but it was all fully booked! shocked 

     

     

    Satay Celup! I bumped into my readers there and i did something so crazy that i almost hit into my reader's car. shockedshockedbummedbummed If you're reading this, I AM TERRIBLY SORRY! 

     

     

     

     

     

     No offense to satay celup lovers, but this aint my thing at all! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     and back at the hotel! We realized we left something at home so we went down to the convenient stall next door to get it... 

     

     

    ..... and i went down w/ my facial mask on! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     went around scaring people! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ***********

     

    Next day, 

     

    View from our room! heart

     

     

     

     

     

    Day-tour around malacca! heart Lots of food and goodies! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I NEED THIS AT ALL TIMES! KILLER WEATHER OVER AT MALACCA!

     

     

     OKAY, this is definitely over-rated! The rice was too cold for my liking. :/ 

     

    Hello girls! smooch 

     

     Bought a sun-hat to match my dress and look at those sun-rays! I told you. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     and i got a rm$300 summon for parking in a handicap lot. I swear by my life that the picture on the floor was barely visible! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     I love Jonker street! heart

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     sent all my girls home and we're back in Singapore... Damn fun!

    Till then!!

  • 1 July 2011 - Railway tracks.

    This is quite a meaningful post to me? 

     

    I dont know why but i kind of really like the old Singapore? 

     

    Some people asked me which are the blogs i always read? Besides than my friends' blogs, i dont really read much blogs or shop online (blogshop). Im hardly on the computer (always on the phone, thus, my twitter and instagram are so active) 

     

    BUT, i really love this blog. http://remembersingapore.wordpress.com

     

    Whenever i read this blog, it brings back alot of my childhood memories. One of my favourite childhood places was the old Marina South. The whole row of steamboat BBQ, bowling alleys and arcades! One of the best moments i had in Singapore. 

     

    I used to bowl, and my first bowling lesson was at Victor's bowl if anyone remembers. Those familiar with the area will probably remembered the Marina City Park and Marina South Promenade which were closed in 2007 to be rebuilt into Gardens by the Bays. Those statues at the Marina City Park have already been relocated to the Chinese Garden.

     

    OKAY! Side track x 10000times. 

     

    This post is about KTM railway tracks

     

    Read about the KTM Komuter 

     

    I personally dont have much impression on these tracks maybe becos i've never taken any KTM trains? I heard that these trains can be REALLY dangerous for commuters. Well, i've heard tons of stories about long-distance train rides. Drink spiking, robbery, theft, raping and murder. Oh my god, scares the shit outta me! I've always wanted to travel up to Kuala Lumpur via this KTM train. Saw how the station/train/cabin condition, i changed my mind. It was scarily filthy and it looks like it hasn't been going for annual maintenance at all. I'd rather drive. 

      

     

     

     

     

    It was announced on the national tv that these tracks will be opened to the public. Calls for a photoshoot! Just kidding. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It already looked kinda run-down/scary on Singapore's side, i wonder how it'd look like over at Malaysia's. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Some photos of myself during my private school days. 

     

    I was in a private school and short-like-fuck skirts were trending! No one really gives a shit as long as you're in uniform. laughing

     

     

     

    Yes, i had really ugly hair then. I looked like a lion.

     

     

    Went Malaysia via the Second Link. Expensive. -_-" 

     

     

     

    I've heard stories about how robbers do their thing on this piece of no man's land. Scary~ Honestly i've heard too many stories and having my 1st degree friends getting robbed right in front of their gateway, scares the shit outta me and i avoid crossing over to Malaysia as often as before. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    So if you're crossing over to Malaysia, be very careful! Can't comment much here, but you should know the reason! It's not our country afterall! happy

     

     

    Till then!!

  • 12 Jun 2011 - Scandinavia Work Trip Day 11

    Caution: Image-heavy post! 
    (Might take up quite a bit of data on phone/ipad)

     


    Yes, im finally at the last day of my Scandinavia post. (I can hear "ahhh! Finally?!") Sigh, mixed emotions. On one hand, i can't wait to go home but on the other, i wish i can continue travelling on my own as a vacation. 

     

    My two days off in Helsinki was extremely delightful!

    Why?

     

    1. Cos i don't have to work! laughing

    2. Cos that irritating bitchy selfish senior left. Ive never met such eccentric bitchy girl! *pui* 

    3. I can put on shorts & slippers and go shopping all day long! 

     

     

    So i woke up really early and starts combing every inch of the city!

     

    The following with just be street shots. I have no guide with me so i know nuts about everything since almost everything were written in Finnish. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     I was very lucky that i got to watch their local "Chin Gay"! Helsinki Samba Carnaval! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This dog was extremely adorable! Just a little bit dirty cos it rained earlier in the day and the floors were still wet. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I can swear by that this guy can dance just as good as Michael Jackson. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    My Skin started breaking out. Thank god im already at the end of the trip. silly

     

     

    Saw a shop selling reindeer & bear meat! I got so mad and confronted the cashier. (She probably thinks im mad) 

     

    Well, apparently in Finland, they have very strict laws of killing these animal. The hunter must kill the animal in one shoot, at the heart. So the animal won't have to suffer for too long. (wtf?) Failure of so; Shooting license will be revoked, and/or some other punishment. 

     

    If i dont remember wrongly; A maximum of 100 bears are allowed to be hunt in a year. 

     

     

     

     

    BUT IM STILL PISSED TO SEE SUCH THINGS AT THE AIRPORT! censoredcensoredcensored

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This will be the last set of sunset photos! I promise. bummed

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I splurged again. bummed

     

    This burger's patty tasted horrible! It was like glued-meat. oh my god. Last meal in Finland ruined. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    My total luggage weight was 44kg! Oh my goodness! 

     

    .......and finally HOME SWEET HOME!* 

     

     

     

    Welcome to my small family! smooch

     

     

     

    Till then!!

    After so many days of stressful work, i finally get 2 days off in Helsinki! Yipee!! 

     

     Upsenski Cathedral ; Helsinki, Finland. 

     

    Something about this cathedral's roof... Something racist and its not very convenient for me to write it out here. shocked

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Hmmm. IMHO, this is a very er.... scary church. :/

    Got myself a new samsonite cabin luggage! Well, i dont really have a choice, my cargo luggage was really really bursting! Well, i got this luggage at a steal! If i dont remember wrongly, it was around 44euros? 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ahhh..... The train station to St Petersburg.

    I was munching on some french fries, the seagulls came and took control of my fries. bitter 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This is a very interesting park. Apparently, there were ALOT of teens over there, having a good time of cos.....

     

    ......and when they need to take a leak/dump, they'd just deposit all their waste here! YES HERE!!! In this "canal"! Male or female doing the same thing! *smacks forehead!*

  • 10 Jun 2011 - Scandinavia Work Trip Day 9

    Caution: Image-heavy post! 
    (Might take up quite a bit of data on phone/ipad)

     

    Still in Stockholm.... I like Stockholm, but i refer the rest more. This feels like no other! It was pretty crowded compared to the rest, and probably due to bad luck, constructions were everywhere. censored 

     

    Oh, and i was lucky to witness their Graduation party; Street style. 

     

    One of the traditions is flatbed trucks adorned with balloons and greenery, driving through the streets, honking their horns, and carrying students that are dancing and shouting out in joy.

     

     

    I looked really colourful thruout this trip! Now, who says i only wear dull colors? hmmm.

    Gol - Lillehammer - Oslo.

     

    From Gol to Lillehammer takes about 2.5hrs. Nearly died on the coach cos i havent had any breakfast. 

     

    and best of all? The other coach broke down in the middle of no-where. Ah, what a good way to start the day. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Oh hi, morning dew. heart

     

     

    Okay, first of all, The olympic town of Lillehammer. Not exactly very interesting cos i was starving, cold and the very dense fog made it worst. 

     

     

     

    Cant see shit. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    OKAY! Thank god that fog moved away. Better be! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    That was where i had my lunch. 

     

     

     

    AND IT STARTED POURING! Really, not my day at all! It gets freezing cold whenever it rains. Moody level: 90%. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I absolutely have no idea where was this! All i remember was having some energy bars by the "7-eleven". Not my day. 

     

     Then i went to their local supermarket. 

    and found out that they re-uses their coke bottles.... Okay......... Not my kinda thing. Thank god i dont drink a lot of coke. 

     

     

    These tiny packets of rice cost about SGD$10 each! If i ever migrate over, i know what business i should be in! *rise eyebrow!* 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Back in Oslo.... FREEDOM FOR ME! SHOPPPPINGGGGGG!!!!
