The Blow by Blow and Lowdown on Shenzhen, Guangzhou and HK (Part 1)



Hello... I am back! 
Ok, I got to put a disclaimer first, coz someone requested loads of photos
I got those photos but I am too tired from packing and washing the clothes
to upload, I promise to do so by tomorrow or latest Thurs k? And my legs hurt, still.
THIS POST IS SUPER LONG... Got to split into parts, here is PART 1. 

My legs hurt from walking so much, 
felt like I flew to China to take part in some race man, 
it was draining but fun, and eye-opening at how organised the Chinese are!

What Singaporeans can do, the PRC in China, can certainly do BETTER! 
No kidding!!! 
Our edge remains as effectively bilingual individuals,
that's probably the main selling point we have over our Asian counterparts, till date.

When I spotted Chinese Text and could read them,
be it in Shenzhen, Guangzhou or HK,
I would be doing a flip or somersault or fireworks would go off in my head. 
Like YAY, I did not let my Chinese teacher, Ms Yip and my tutor down. 
(Thanks Ma for the tuition!!! Haha...)

Shenzhen
We flew in with tiger air
(yes, I told a friend that i have not take SQ before, shocking eh? Me too. I am shocked, but soon, at the rate I am travelling, every two months this year, I am sure that will happen soon!!!) 
Flight took off in the evening, 
I went for a facial appointment prior my flight to preen myself
afterall, it was a work trip for my hubs and a half and half for me,
I went there with an open mind to look for opportunities hopefully
I can uncover suitable products to trade in SG... 
haha, so i had to look the part of a potential Boss, 
I even printed name cards for me-self. 
Managed to munch a Mac Burger before flight and landed after midnight
it was a mere 3.5hours... and Shenzhen was impressive!
The airport had LED lights that were scattered on the HUGEASS ceiling of the airport
and they looked like a zillion stars... pretty!
(yes, I can feel you nagging, where are the photos?) akan datang.... 

Transport was organised, neat, comfortable... cab drivers were a dream
except you got to speak rather good Chinese for them to understand you,
saw some Ang Mohs haggling with a small group of PRC private cab drivers over pricing
and how cute the broken English sounded
PRC: " How muchhhiieee?" 
AngMoh: "40 Dollars for 3 of us to town"
PRC: "How... How how? How muchhiiieee dollars?" 
At this point, I was hysterical, yes, i got a low threshold for jokes, 
I laugh very easily, laughter is literally free and a smile brightens any face! 
Ang Moh: *started hollering* "I just said 40 DOLLLLLARRSSSS for THREE of us!!!"  
PRC: "Whattt? 40 dollars?!!!" PRC started discussing with his buddy nearby before replying "NO, TOO CHEAP, 100 DOLLARS OK? Ok we go now!" 
Ang Moh: "WHAT? 100 Dollars!!???" 
PRC went at him like a charging bull and placed his face in front of the Ang Moh.. 
"HOW HOW? Price Ok? 100 Dollars Cheap, you can pay, very cheap to you Yankees...!!" 
AngMoh: "I am not a Yankee and ..." his voice drowned out before I could hear the end of this banter. So fun! Pure entertainment for a flight that landed around 1am. 

And it is nice for a change to see the stereotype befalling the White Man
that all Whites are Americans... 
like how most Whites assume all Chinese 
descend from Bruce Lee and can do Kungfu. 

The next two days in Shenzhen was spent at a supplier's factory 
we saw some cool machines that were high tech with RFID, chips etc and decently cool 
spoke to the sales, engineering and marketing persons,
I really can click with them, I would love to think my Chinese sucks,
like a potato trying to be rice... aha! But they kept talking to me 
and only spoke to my hubs on the technical aspects.. 
machiam I am literally working for my hubs. 
Did you know, when they heard we were meeting them that morning, 
they prepare the conference room with 4 platters of fresh fruits! 
Like in SG, you sometimes don't even get water,
they serve you and heap you with fruits (so healthy!)
and different drinks for your picking. (Blown away!!!!!!)

They hosted us to great food during lunch (yes lar, photos will come!!!) 
and every meal was at a restaurant 
it was GLORIOUS! 
Like Taste Paradise, Min Jiang, Cherry Garden and Wah Lok kind of standard
Decor was avant garde and majestically chic! 
Crystal walls, gold finishings, chandeliers and opulent plush velvety chairs!!! 
Another restaurant looked decadent and very expensive
The Chinese really know how to 'LIVE IT UP!' 
I am so glad to be Chinese. 
To them, I was seen as a triple threat as I can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese
but save for English, the rest is like a half pail of water, bahhh.... 

Anyways, Shenzhen will be a city i wish to explore more
I really enjoyed Shenzhen so much,
their "SIM LIM SQUARE" is like ours except 
that they have 20 such Buildings of Sim Lim Sq
It was HEAVEN ON EARTH FOR THE MEN,
I never seen more men shopping and buying their guts out
I had to explore the frenzy.. observing the frenzy was magical.
Never seen men shopped like there is no tomorrow before.
My eyes nearly popped after my fifth building,
coz each building had 10 floors to comb thru. 
It was a friggin' GREAT SINGAPORE WORKOUT 101 man... 
training for what's to come. 
Cables, plugs, components, Xbox, laptops, mobile phones, chargers,
TV set top boxes, every single electronic and IT gadget in the WORLD 
is there, everything and anything electronic you can dream of, is there too!!!
I am so happy to be Chinese. Dam proud of my roots!

The hotel was good too. Old but acceptable, I cannot recall the name,
too hard to remember... but it was at HUA QIANG TRAIN STATION
Shenzhen sealed the deal for me when the cab driver informed me
that a shopping haven, similar to Bugis Village but multiply it by tenfold 
can be found at LAO JIE FANG STATION,
I made it my mission to go there, 
even if it meant my legs had to break from all that walking
and I got lost... in every sense of the word. 
Did not know where to start, so many alleys, turns, corners, basements... 
I think, we CHINESE are very 'KUA ZHANG' folks.. 
if want something, we go all the way, if not, don't do. 

I was every word you can associate HAPPINESS WITH. 
Gleeful, Happy, Overjoyed, Excited, Overwhelmed.. 
you get the picture? 
Basking, soaking in the sights, colors, sounds and smells... 
INSPIRING! That night, i crashed into bed like a dead log. 
Walked so much... Ate so little, like some weight loss regime. 
But very very UBER HAPPY!!! I saw stars. :) 
My hubs was a trooper, did not complain (much),
he just walked and helped me with my things
coz I shopped. Haha! Yay!
The next day, we headed to Guangzhou. 

GUANGZHOU
Where cantonese originated from 
and the people are way too rude and curt 
and the food, according to the hubs, is unrefined (I concur) 
even the Chee Chong Fun dim sum was untidy. 
No idea how to eat man... was a plate of mess. Pppfffttt.. 

Side track... 13 years back, when i met Daniel (my hubs),
he did not have much standard when it comes to food
or how it is presented .. slowly, i trained him
to taste his food, enjoy the presentation and food art. 
Today, I kinda regret it (hahahahaha!) he can be too picky
even when it comes to my cooking, 
and I am one of the best chefs in the entire family (his side and my side combined)
yet, he can say, not enough salt, or too bland or why all the colors look the same..
I mean, everyday after work, I still got to come back and try to cook
and you want MasterChef standard, aiyo, facepalm can?? 
Maybe weekends then MasterChef appear. 

We went to the  
It was massive. Beyond massive. It was a nightmare to walk.
You don't know massive till you have seen China's exhibitions!
And that was on top of the crazy walking I did in Shenzhen already... 
My soul man was like.. "Die, die, sure mati one. How to survive?" 
Daniel was flabbergasted, jaw dropped and small eyes opened to the max
and he said, "Dear... why so many people one?" 
I was like, "Come on, let's do this, you have gone thru enough NATAS Fairs with me when i worked, we can do it!" 
So I had a simple plan, we comb the circumference then zigzag our way inside to the middle before moving to the next hall. 
IMAGINE A SINGLE SINGAPORE EXPO HALL and multiply that by 16 Halls. 
Yups... that was the scale of the Fair we originally wanted to cover. 
But we gave up after 3 Halls, as their one Hall is 
already double a singular Singapore Expo Hall.
My flats gave way, I had to buy new sandals. 

My legs are still tired and painful from all that walking. 
We shall continue tomorrow.... Nights!!!

And then... there are some of us

Yons ago . . . literally like YONS ago,
I was schooling and I was tutoring at the same time. 
Yeah, the independent streak in me was very prevalent
and I had a strong backbone
I loved what earning my own keeps did for me
and at the age of 18 to 19,
I was going for facials in the heart of Orchard,
buying over the counter cosmetics and skincare (experimental age)
and I joined a gym!

The strange fact was,
my metabolic rate was insanely good
I could get away with doing little yet maintaining a decent figure then
in spite of eating and snacking on my fave sardine puffs in the school canteen
OH HOW I ADORE THE LATE TEENS and ROARING TWENTIES!!! Yikes!

The gym I joined then was California Fitness
which was the newest and largest in LaLa land then
and it was spanking new alright!!! 
3 floors of floor to ceiling glass windows 
where the sun rays can peek in from all angles 
with new state of the art equipment for gym rats
BUT I AM NO GYM RAT
so why on earth did I join one? 

I got a confession.... 
I loved the idea back then of running on the treadmills facing the current cineleisure 
and looking good while doing so
basically, I loved the full on idea of being a true blue POSER! Ha. 
What's there not to love,
boys will look at you,
your self esteem (and ego) basically shoots up rocket high
sending you to infinity and beyond at times,
personal trainers come up to you and try to pick you up 
offering you free tips and classes once in a while
You get free meals, shakes, drinks, gym bags and the likes that comes with that attention
Those were glorious days (hahaha....)


AND THEN... Fast forward a lot,
I met a boy whom I grew to love
married him, cooked a lot, ate a lot and busted my knee during a half marathon
so I stayed away from exercising for 2 years and 35kg later
I COULD NOT FATHOM WHAT ON EARTH HAVE I MORPHED INTO!!!????!!!!
It was an alien invasion!!! Of the highest order too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The image staring back at me in the mirror was.... Gasp! H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E

I mean, even if my true love did not mind (which i like to think he didn't)
this nagging thought was surfacing, though it often is a backburner but
right then, when it hit me, I was like.... "One Day, if the boy you love 
decides to go all superficial on you and prefer a skinny monkey over you,
you are so dead... cos you are just not attractive anymore" 
Besides this deeply seeded thought that incepted itself somewhere in me
I was also avoiding a lot of my friends, a lot of weddings and basically,
places where humans gather. It was bad. 
My self esteemed plummeted big time. And whose fault was it? 
As they say, the rest is history, I took control of the situation,
am discipline, determined and exercise like crap, signed onto a gym that fits my personality
and helps me attain my goals... and am consistent in the stuff I do. Including healthier intake.

I lost 20kgs. I have 15kgs to go. I just got to keep on keeping on. 

Today, I saw a colleague strolling into office,
hollering my name and when I turned back, 
she had a mat with her, stating she signed for yoga classes held within my office grounds
gesturing if I also joined, I told her I cannot stand slow exercises,
though I believe in yoga, the results are too slow for my liking.
She is double my old size, meaning she will take longer to see results esp if she plans on 
just using yoga as a form of exercise, but so long as she sticks to it, consistently,
it will work, results will creep in, dresses will fit better and love will find her. 
Just that, when we were in the ladies later in the day,
she was like, I am wearing a sports bra, I think my top is bigger today..... 
(my eyes rolled a little at this point...haha)
Hope the instructor is good looking,
(eyes kept rolling and I smirked)
I hope to be healthier and lose weight and be like you... 
(at this point, i can understand her, coz being overweight can be challenging, 
you can be bullied and overlooked in promotions and gatherings and whatever else.)

I am glad to have inspired her to want to work out 
but don't be like the old me... who wants to look good going to a work out...
instead be like the current me, where even though I got 15kg more to lose
and am still fluffy in certain areas (yes yes, I call the fats - Fluffy ok... cuter lar)
I am comfortable and more confident under my own skin. 
Coz besides good looks and a decent figure,
I got other talents and a great attitude towards life, work and people
and I am no longer a POSER
I just want to be a hot commodity in areas other than outer appearances
besides, my theory goes --- 
GOOD LOOKS CAN TAKE YOU ONLY SO FAR, IT GIVES YOU A PASSPORT, 
A PUSH THRU THE DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY BUT
HOW YOU STAY ON THERE AND SHINE IN YOUR ROLE, 
SOLELY DEPENDS ON YOUR ATTITUDE, SKILLS AND TALENTS.

Fancy a Flight of Flancy?



So much has happened since my last post
I have been so swamped that i decided this blog needs to take a backseat
LIKE BIG TIME! 

Marriage:

I still enjoy being married to him
I have known him since 2000,
started dating him in 2003
married him in 2009. 
The really awesome and mind blowing bit is
I AM STILL NOT SICK of him
he still manages to amaze and impress me
even after all these years
I still love to embark on life's adventures with him
travel the world as wanderlust strikes us, whenever,
still adjusting to his wicked sense of "encouraging" me
and still believing in his dreams, 
his capabilities and wanting to provide the wind beneath his wings to take flight. 
Yup, I fancy a wondrous flight of fantasy 
He makes me feel like I can be whoever I want to be
Security and the freedom to focus on whatever we wish to do are just 
starters on this huge plate of offerings that we are cooking

Friendships:
I have been so blessed. 
Been in touch with more people
Reconciled with more
Soaring with some of them
Made new ones whom I know are for keeps, this lifetime and hopefully the next
BFFs who stand by me
believe in me
cry with me
laugh with me
bitch with me
dance with me
sing with me
dine with me
I am just so grateful

Family:
The folks are challenging at times
otherwise alright
mum-sy isn't feeling too good
going for a heart check soon
dad had an incident and is better
we had a scare that morning! 
The family trip was scary 
made me miss my man more
realized that I got to make a permanent mindset shift... 
i.e. my folks are here to teach me patience - whether I like it or not. 
Oh well... 
The mum-sy-in-law has been fantastic,
things are great between us, what is even better is how much closer I have gotten
with her and my grandmother-in-law... she dotes on me and spoils me silly. 
I am truly blessed. 


Work:
This 2014, is a year of change, of greatness, of HIS GLORY
I can smell it in the air! 
Am working towards it. 
Am praying for the stars to align. 
While setting the foundation. 
My man is asking me for a biz plan
I love how he keeps me grounded thou I hate this part
of pulling a proposal together
My man needs to rule the world 
while I keep the house clean, neat and head out to work out my bod 
and enjoy shopping and do PR and Marketing consultancy work. Ideal!!! 
(Hahahaha.... a girl can dream... can't she???) 

I thank God for everything. Every single person. 
At this point of my life, I can tell the rotten apples from the good ones
the ones with an agenda and the ones I can count on,
I may appear all innocent and blur and whatever else I want you to believe
but trust me, still waters..... run really really deep. 
Not in a bad way, but
in a smart way. 
I strive to be, the greatest team player I ever can be!
As they say "THE BEST IS YET TO COME!" 
Carpe Diem!!!!!!! Always! 


My Health & Weight Loss:
My determination, focus and discipline levels have reached a new high
I cannot fathom if you asked me 2 years back,
Can you go exercise and lose weight? 
I would go and try for a month, tops!
and revert to the sluggish lifestyle once more
But now, after embarking on this for 15 months,
I lost a total of 20kg to-date, I am lighter than my man
as any good wife should (be lighter than her man)
except if you are pregnant then it doesn't count. 
I have another 15kg to lose, making it a total of 35kg
my BFF says I got more room, the hubs is happy to see me drop me
in a stable and healthy fashion.
XoxoxO,
R

Love my Nest, Love my Man

Super in love today.... 
started the day with a prayer
nothing fancy, simple one
my man sent me an encouraging short read
got me fruits for breakfast
and then I decided to make an effort to change
look at things differently

And came back to a lovely meal
Spicy n Sour Glass Noodles.... 
totally right up my alley today
I love how a documentary was featuring Taiwan,
one of my favourite countries in the world
I could move there in a heartbeat. 

Today is filled with more love than all the last 3 days!

The Coming Holidays & My Muse



These 2 weeks has been amazing,
shocking in some ways, like today (more later)
and surprising in others.

The hubs has been nothing short of dramatic
which is super unusual
coz the 'drama queen' is usually me.
I have been upstaged.
And haha, the feeling is odd.
I cannot fathom what has happened to him
but in some secret way,
I am enjoying it....
Its like we have another way of connecting,
he and i...

He got so pumped up when I agreed to go on a hike
with him and Kita today... he was actually grinning, glowing
and acted every bit like a proud trooper.
Ok, so me being the one that is Not-so-into-Mother Nature type
did get squeamish at the very last min,
my heart was palpitating like crazy
and I was on the verge of just giving him the excuse
that my tummy was aching like there was no tomorrow
but, I decided to suck it up!

So off we went, my hubs being my hubs,
despite having all the technology in the world to serve him,
he relished in the likes of deciding that Diary Farm Hut had parking,
so we shall begin our acension from there....
BIG MISTAKE!!! HUGE!!!!
I never climbed so many steep steps / stairs,
walked on so many slippery terrains in my Life!
We should have just started from the usual Bukit Timah Hill path
wah lau eh.... act smart lor.
At some points, I had thoughts of rolling down the hill
and at some other points, I secretly hoped we don't come across
some dead body, the place is so akin to CRIMINAL MINDS / CSI...
I cannot help it, been watching a lot of TV. LIKE.A.LOT

And for the life of me,
I felt like I was in JAPAN HOUR
walking thru the forest or in army,
marching away with my hubs ahead cheering both Kita and myself on,
and Kita, sweet Kita, God bless his soul,
was so gentlemanly, he waited behind,
made sure I was ok,
basically he did everything in the handbook right... haha
if there ever was a handbook on how to woo a girl,
this Japanese dude sure got it all right
At some point, I even ran up the steep terrains.
I think I went mad. Haiz...

I feel fitter, no doubt.
The air smelt great in there...
but emotionally, I think I was a wuss.
I was swamped with mixed feelings upon concluding my hike.
On one hand, proud about my accomplishment
and on the other hand, I wished I had better stamina,
I want to try this again,
but I wanna train.

So, instead of the usual routine runs,
I shall also go hike once in a while,
just to change up the routine I have.
And to ensure I get better and hahaha, lose MORE weight lar!!!
I am so tired now...
cannot fathom how I can hold a decent conversation at dinner with my family
or even seem energetic, for fear of letting my mum feel less important.

Anyways, work wise, things have been a whirlwind.
Some words to sum up how I feel...
Mountain / Insanity / Pile / Deadlines
I mean, I have seen this level of stress before,
just that, haha, I wished I had a "honeymoon" period
you know, before the torrential hurricane sweeps you up
and carries you to somewhere else....
there is no stopping, before I can plan,
I have to do, sometimes, i feel robotic.
Almost surreal.

I keep telling myself,
my social life is saved for the weekends mostly, for now.
But when the weekends hit,
all I wanna do is sleep. Like a bear in winter.
Or just run and dance, workout.

I dont even have the mood / energy to play my FB games.
I know, i know, lame right? At my age, FB games...
aiya, judge all you want, I don't care.
The games take my mind off a lot...

And my Fridays, supposedly date nights with the hubs,
see me wanting to head home to sleep....
anyways, I really really appreciate my muse, my hubs
for being the ultra sweet candy he is...
for sending me flowers when he knows it brightens my day,
pink roses always puts a permanent smile on my face..
and for being the sweetest fellow I know.
No one treats me better than you baby.
I want us to remain like this, forever.

And, I seriously hope, I got my Christmas pressies all covered.
Hope everyone is covered and I did not miss out any persons.
I got the list written, but no time to go shop as yet.

And on a side note, both Kita and Jean just came back from Korea
and they both got me all my favourite items,
without me telling them what they are!
They are such dolls!!!!!! Love them to bits....
Love my close friends who can read me and love me.

Breaking Dawn was dishy...
I mean, the way Edward Cullen loves Bella
and the smouldering HOT Jacob....
Hubba Hubba.... hahahaha
the fight scene was AWESOME!
So was the "other" scene. Teehehehe~~
Darren was a real friend, he had my back
I am just so blessed.
To have such great friends around me,
I don't know what i did to deserve them
but they are so willing to be there for me.
I can only Thank God for them.

Anyways, this trooper has to go niapp now.
Goodnight World!

Let's Count The Ways of ....

Well, I did say this blog was defunk in 2009.... but after shifting thru a few different blogs (mostly personal) I decided to re-use what works. This addy.

What better way then to start by summing what took place over the last 3 years.

I got married. got happy. put on some weight. got sick. feel more at peace with myself. lost a good friend. got to know more new friends. got judged. loved some and hated others and then some.

am now at a place where I am contend. or maybe its too early to be so?

But I am.

Lost some weight, intend to carry on and got back into an industry I enjoy.

Life really threw some serious lemons. But I am making good lemonade out of them. :)

BKK wait for me, I am finally hitting on you. And then back to Taiwan next year, a land where I can fall in love, daily. Did I mention how much i love Taiwan?

Just the mere mention of the place brings to mind, rainbows, unicorns, smelly tofu, strawberries, friendly people and the posers!!! Not necessarily in that order.
 
The extravaganza shopping and pigging out! The cool weather of March and the doe-eyed lasses. So far, I love Taiwan more than the other places I have been to, it calls to my soul. My happy place.
 
To start saving I must!!! Else, how am I suppose to buy all the pleasures that tickle my fancy bone???
 
Till then, tata!

My New Lunch Diet

Monday's Salad.... Look at the myriad of colours


I have been on a cool and awesome new diet - lovingly prepared by my honey bun! Its a healthy salad diet... uber cool too. I am so in love with the food I get to taste everyday... it aids to give both of us great skin as well, with the different stuff that goes into it.

There's capsicium, lettuce, potatoes, crabsticks, cherry tomatoes, egg, fruits, cucumber, ham, mayo, pasley flakes and bread crumbs.

I LOVE IT!!!! Absolutely loving it.... thou a tad not too filling but its better this way, cos coupled with exercise. Woohoo!! It will be a lethal combination in helping me skim off those extra inches which I have tons more to go!

I love it. You should try it too for a change! There's a lot of fiber too.


Smiles,
RL

Kena Head and torso "injury"



I totally was so into my badminton match last night, had a good time playing. Tonight got one more round and I am so 'clever' again, forgot to bring my shoes again.

Looks like I gotta head home and take them again.

Anyways, my dear Ms Lim hit my head and my torso and I retorted in mock annoyance, as if we have some "unsettled score" like that. It was really funny.

I love badminton... credit goes to my Papa.

Alrights, a very tired Ruth in need of rest.

Peace, RL

Arm Pain from Badminton


Whoa! My right arm is hurting like mad. I was playing badminton like for a good 50 mins non-stop. Was considered quite intense for me. I wish tomorrow I can emo at work. Dam jialat.


But the sweat seems worthwhile. I guess this method of weight loss could be quite fun. Instead of the usual running or sprinting I always do. I guess the training and stamina built-up helps me in my game today. Was kinda surprised that I could last 50 mins and I did not drop the ball as many times. Hee!


Ok.... now to Zzzzzzzz ~ RL

Tuesday


I had fun getting started on my blog...more so with the photos section. Had so much trouble starting it. But once it was finished. It was a labour of love. Voila!! anyways, later got badminton with my colleague and her friends.

I had a weird dream last night. In it, I saw my Ex-bf. I was busy running away from him. It was terrible. I awoke and I was almost late for work and its all his stupid fault cos he came into my dreams. Eeeeee....

Alrighty, catch ya later! !~ Love
