im a *cheenagirl*

(backdated... 26/02/07)

I almost killed a baby today.

And I found out that my eye-bags jiggle when I run. I look really funny.

Shenzhen

I bet everyone thinks this is a super messy country with loads of thugs and robbers and poor people. Guess what? The living standards here are even higher then Shanghai.

I met possibly one of the richest person I’ve ever had contact with. Calm down those raging hormones Linz, this guy is Shui’s uncle.

It is very possible that from the very moment I entered Shenzhen, my jaw has yet to close properly, it being firmly dislocated from some form of shock.

Shui’s Rich Relatives

Shui’s young and pretty auntie drove us from the checkpoint, back to her house, in the longest PEUGEOT I have ever seen. The boot was huge. The interior was huge. I could stretch my legs full length in the passenger seat. The leather seats screamed rich. And Shui says this model does not even exist in Singapore. I was so tempted to whip out my camera but I resisted this extremely un-cultured temptation.

The house. Is. Horrific. It’s a condominium extremely near the town area, and THEY BOUGHT TWO UNITS SIDE BY SIDE. The house is freaking HUGE. There are 5 rooms (I heard there were 7 but they knocked down 2), all huge and hotel-standard, and a freaking glam living room and dining room and wine bar. It trashed every house I’ve been to FLAT. The TV is huge and the sound system looks damn high tech. The room I am in now probably has nicer décor then any hotel room I have been in. 


our room reflected in the huge glass windows.


binky sitting on our bed!

AND THERE IS A TREADMILL IN THE HOUSE!!! Imagine my joy when I spied this gem in the house. That was when I found out my eye-bags jiggle when I run. Cause there is a strategically placed mirror in front, and beside, the treadmill. First time I ran barefoot (I had to) and that meant blisters. Ouch. I was so tempted to whip out my camera but I resisted this extremely un-cultured temptation.

I ate possibly the BEST meal I have EVER had my entire LIFE. My tummy is bulging like nobody’s business. We went to a glam restaurant in town. We got a VIP room, along with a huge LCD TV, along with sofa, cushions, and THE BEST FOOD EVER. Every dish was delicious, and (eat your heart out, linzy) there was LOBSTER!!! I cleaned out every dish, wondering why everyone stopped eating so early. Ehhh maybe that was a rude of me, but what the heck, good food comes so rarely man. I was so tempted to whip out my camera but I resisted this extremely un-cultured temptation.

The toilets here are world class and extremely sexy. That’s because the walls are see-through. Which means anyone who is in the room can see your naked glory when you shower. Its like all those posh suites in hotels meant for couples having rendezvous. I was so tempted to whip out my camera but I resisted this extremely silly notion.

Everything here is so freaking modern and there are mirrors and glass and GLAM shit everywhere. I am so freaking amazed.

Ok I am done gushing. Looking forward to tomorrow, where we will trawl the streets of Shenzhen for (more) shopping, and we’ll take the night flight out into Shanghai.

Excited J
