Life in Wuxi. Oh yeah.

Hello!!

It’s been a while yo people!

And it’s weird…when I came to China, I thought I would blog more often, with the lack of facebook / twitter / blogspot. But somehow I lost the mojo to blog. It’s as though the whole blogging thing came packaged with FB, Twitter and other blogs too. Where the lack of either one would take away the whole meaning of blogging. Weird huh.

In the early days, the Chinese built the Great Wall of China to keep non-citizens from coming in.

Today, we have the Great Fire-Wall of China, to keep net-izens from going out    -__-

It’s all thanks to those idiotic protest buggers! Suckers who set up a Facebook group called ‘Global Protests. Support Uygurs to seek independence’, who started the riots in Xinjiang that left 140+ people dead. And also Facebook, for allowing such a group to exist. Really, quite, dumb. Now they’ve gotten themselves, with most other social networking sites banned

Still, as I mentioned in my previous post, I found a hack to access these banned sites. The ‘hack’ is basically a redirect site that is hosted in an outside country, which loads the banned sites in its window for sneaky people like me and EGo to access. The trouble is, it loads it without scripts. And no scripts pretty much makes Facebook useless la. I can’t even update my status yo. Damn.

So that means I’m practically back to square one lol.

And that also means I’ve got no reason to stay up late…my sleep time has been promoted from 1.30am to 12am. And my eye-bags have been promoted from 1cm thick to 0.5cm thick. Yeah babeh.

It’s not often that you can have your house, your office and your lunch place in the same picture. But where I am, I’m actually able to pull off this amazing feat.

My dorm is actually 40 seconds walk from office, and 10 seconds walk from the cafeteria. It doesn’t get any closer than that wei!

This is Vice President Chuntang’s office, where he has strategically placed the router by the window for us to go online at night, at home, to access stuff that is not-safe-for-work ahem.

This is our kitchen, where most of the mess happens.

It’s where we make our breakfasts…

Btw, sausages seem to be a very popular form of breakfast here, and they mass produce it and sell it in little packs like this.

And that’s the whole lot of stuff that Charles (the ‘burglar’ ‘in my window in my previous post), got for our supplies.

The kitchen’s also the place where we wash our clothes using this never-seen-before-in-my-life old school washing machine.

This deserves a different story altogether ahaahaha.

And this is what we normally do, right after dinner. Shower and……

Laze in bed then sleep. How not to get fat in China???   LOL.

And as you can see, we’re pretty organized when it comes to keeping the place tidy  xD …

It’s not much, but it’s where I call home for this two months. And being able to live away from the family like this gives me a preview of how life can and probably should be like. My own uninterrupted private time and space. Good stuff yo. And by living out like this, I can cause less trouble at home

This is David Li, our partner in crime, golfing kaki, slacker club member…

…Who likes to go for a smoke while me and EGo are deep in discussion even while walking…

Really, there are so many random pics in my camera I don’t know which to post! xD

OK, one more.

This is not one of those dark rimmed specs that Ah Bengs wear to clubs…it’s what the workers here use as ……Safety Goggles! Wah beh tahan.

Oh, and one more thing I noticed when I was was getting stuff from the grocery.

These guys are STILL selling these banned tainted-milk stuff! Some people will never learn lol  =.=

Cheers!
-EVo-
