1st day:~
ehm.. took plane to chengdu. had lotsa stuff for dinner. supposed to be some famous chengdu snakcs. can't really remember how it tastes like now. hehex. we were supposed to take a plane to lijiang that now but it turned out that there was a problem with the night navigator at lijiang so we took a flight to kunming instead. oh yes, when we were at the chengdu airport, there was this massage that said, wellcome to chengdu. that was seriously funny. anyways, when we were collecting our luggage, i had a shock. my luggage had this like HUGE hole in it! unbelievable! shuyi told mr yeo but all he said was, there's nothing we can do about it so just get some tape to tape it later. i tell you i was so terrified! i mean the luggage was like BRAND NEW! my dad mighta killed me! then when we went outta the airport, the tour guide saw my luggage and asked if it was already like that. i almost shouted, of cos' it wasn't! he then said that i should have complained to the airport staff before i came out because now they might not compensate. i tell you you shoulda seen the way i was glaring at mr yeo. in the end, the tour guide tried to get compensation but din suceed. watched a variety show. was totally cool!! had a bit of shopping time.sad.so then after we took the flight to kunming, we went to weilong hotel. nothing much happened. fell asleep.

~ahem~
1st) there was this sign that in chinese said - xiao xin luo shui, meaning be careful not to fall into the water. however, the english translation was - fall into water carefully. that was simply hilarious!
2nd) on 1 of the nights, last night i think, jong gave us a cup of bei bei mian, cup noodles. so naturally, grace and i started cooking it happily only to realise later on that we did not have ANY utensils. i decided to cut the mee into very small pieces so i could just drink it down. however, grace used a toothbrush. what a sight to see! to bad i forgot to take a picture. i had to eat with my back facing her because i would burst out laughing when i see her using the toothbrush.
3rd) we discovered a cockroach in our room and couldn't get it away. therefore, we decided to call the house keeping. we later realised that it was a guy and it was very late already. so we came up with all sorta defensive measures incase he tried something funny. so stupidly funny i tell you. yeahx. well so he got rid of it in the end. with his hands. eeew! gross. hahahax. yeahx.
