I’ve been in Wuxi for a little over more than 7 weeks now, since 5 September.

 

I’ve trained in a factory, used lathes like a noob, burned stuff, and watched stuff get burned, including myself.

I’ve climbed the mountain range which is deemed the most scenic and with the most variety of mountain slopes in China.

Mount Huang Shan boasts more than 50 peaks and is much MUCH easier to climb than Mount KK >.< Because there was a cable car which we took lol. Not lazy la, no time :D

I’ve hung out with crazy fun people i.e. VP Chuntang, president’s son David the slacker, and boss Charles.

 

I had a cute chick teach me how to play golf…

Sorry guys I don’t have a better picture. Really ;)

 

I’ve had lots of Nice people in the factory teaching me all that I need to know. They’re been nothing but awesome. You guys probably may never read this but I’m posting this all the same!

Hmm I just noticed that there are 19 guys and 2 girls in this pic. Why the unbalance!! I’m gona have 1:1 girl/guy ratio in the India factory! LOL.

 

Still, I had my fair share of chasing some chicks around the factory…

Ah, but all good things somehow have to come to an end.

 

Here’s 6 ways how you should start to realize that it’s time to go home.

 

1.  When you start saying ‘NI HAO’ to people whom you will normally greet with ‘WHASUP!’

 

2.  When your food intake per DAY is what you normally eat in a WEEK. Food in China is too irresistible, and I don’t know why.

3.  When your self-made dumbell goes bust and you need to change the milk carton too often.

4,  When not only your girlfriend back home stops calling you, but your new-found China girlfriend doesn’t call you anymore either. Fail. (this has no particular reference to myself HAA)

 

5.  When you find yourself wanting to borrow cash from everyone, even though you already owe people RMB 6300 @.@  I need a damn Maybank ATM!

 

6. When your phone has decided that it’s time to die on you.

I dunno how this could have happened. All we did was have a little fun during Shanghai Karaoke. David, it’s all your fault. You eat too much!

So with that said, I’m coming home soon people! People who miss me, rejoice, as I will be back to bug you! HAHAHA.

 

Anyhow, I have the following plans coming up : Shanghai Exhibition (26-30th), back to Wuxi until 5 Nov, when I will go hoooooome.

 

By the way, you may already have heard about the upcoming Salsa Cruise Asia 2009.

I got a text from Tim Low Mr Salsa / Food blogger / Salsa Cruise PR Director, with news that I was chosen as one of the 3 photographers on board.

 

OMG!!

 

7 days of nothing to do but shooting, eating, drinking, chilling…..whoooa! And probably just 3 hours of sleep a day, but damn, it’s worth the eye-bags.

 

Thanks so much Tim for the slot. I promise to take less shots of your potbelly while you and Tammy are dancing on board.

 

The only thing about this is that there’s only 1 person that I can bring, and that’s myself. Psychkin I’ll never forgive you if you don’t come with me for the next cruise. Serious, I’ll spank you really hard.

 

By the way, I’ve been working on my photography blog for the past couple of days. It’s got pictures of events, outings, jobs etc. Also included are many cam-ho shots (blogger’s addiction) :D If I’ve taken pics with you before and it doesn’t appear on Facebook, then it should be there.

If not, means it’s too valuable and you need to pay me to send it to you. Buahaha.

 

I’m now looking forward to go back already. Oh yeah.

 

Cheers!
