Vanessa and I went marketing today in a wet market near my house. We were feeling "pek chek" as the wholesalers did not understand what we were saying. For example, we wanted 胡椒粉, the auntie did not know what was 胡椒粉 and wanted to give us red beans instead. It was LOL. Finally, we went to 365 convenience store and they had such thing called 胡椒粉. So I do not understand why the lady did not understand us. -.-"

And so, i suppose you all know about our little 'adventure'. Well, i do recognise the fact that we look different, speak different and do not quite grasp the local language, but, earlier, we were speaking in pure plain chinese, so, you can just feel the agony when despite our efforts to open communicational ties with them, we failed, quite miserably, so to speak. Anyway, we got our groceries and are on our way to cook a scrumptous SINGAPOREAN!! meal. (emphasis on the word, "SINGAPOREAN!!", yes, that's how much we miss our sunny island.

The past few days were alright, I able to survive despite not having a hot water heater in my home, and the lack of communicational facilities besides my phone. I resorted to sooth help, and got a lot of help. THANKS KATHERINE, JONATHAN!! for the help you've rendered to me, played a huge role in me surviving for another 16 days. Yes, 16. I'm happy xD SUNNY ISLAND, WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
