China (Fujian Putien & Zhejiang) Day 1

If you guys have been following my tweets, I tweeted about my trip to China. I've never fear for my life so much! I'm worried about the food (u know they love dog meats & their food scandals) , their culture and the worst thing of all.. their public toilets. All these really terrifies me and at certain point I want to back out from that trip. BF is a genius, he bought the tickets without consulting me first. "XIAN XIA SHOU WEI QIANG!" Come to think now, I'm really happy that I went, and I survive. In fact, I couldn't wait to go back there again! HAHAHAHAHA~~~~

If you still think China is still as bad as before, YOU HAVE TO GO TO CHINA.. LIKE NOW! Of course, some places are not develop yet, the "traditional public toilets" still exist. The places I went to was Xiamen, Fujian -> Putien. Not to be compared to Shanghai & Beijing, but these provinces are already developing so much, to the extend that it's so much better than Singapore! As BF has relatives living in Putien, we stayed at their apartments during our trip & they showed us around Fujian.

Day 1 

Lunch at Hong Kong International Airport, while waiting for our transit flight to Xiamen.

BF commented it taste bitter. I swear I can have Gui Hua Gao EVERYDAY!
We touched down at Xiamen Airport in the late noon, and one of my BF relative came to pick us up. Another 2 hours journey to Fujian.

Home for the next 3 nights!

Our toilet with transparent door.
Abit awkward every morning.

I overheard the uncle asking the price of this condo because the place is quite developed and accessible to nearby restaurants & market. Guess how much!! 

... 

..

.

SGD$170,000. 


SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN MY 4 ROOM HDB?? 

AIGOO.


No wonder Singaporeans are now looking at other countries to retire lah! 
That's all for now, I'll try to rush Day 2 & 3 soon~

Qoo10.sg Review: Multilaser Headphone



Please note this is not a sponsored advertisement***

I'm desperately looking for a cheap decent headphone with heavy bass... (I think I'm asking too much here..) I don't want to use my Beats anymore when I jog because it gets dirty and unhygienic throughout the time.

.... And I came across this at Qoo10.sg!

I SWEAR THIS IS REALLY A GOOD BUY!

PROS: Cheap price, Fast Delivery, Lightweight, Foldable, Deep Bass & Clear Sound to motivate me to jog. In fact, this works so much better than my Audio Technica that cost me over $50.

CONS: Looks like fake beats (I don't mind because I am only using it for jogging) & seem fragile. Not sure whether this headphone can last me how long, but we can't expect much of it because it is cheap!
