Travel diary day 5-6

When you even get lazy about writing your own travel diary then you are getting way too slacked off.

I was kind of slacked off due to many reasons. Uni , work and my own reasons. Hey, no hate tho, I'm writing it right now.

So continue from the previous post - here

After the CNY eve, my cousin took me to meet his friends. We rented a room at one of the hotel ( i know you think too much, dont worry. We kept it PG). We had few games and around 11pm, we went home.

Day 5
The next morning, I went to my grandma's (dad's side) grave and visited her. If you are Asian then you'd probably know what we do in a grave visit. As Chinese tradition, we burn the paper money and candles. As the more we burn the more my grandma is going to get it in heaven as heaven money (if that makes sense). In order to visit my grandma's grave we need to climb the hill.

Here is a photo of myself after reaching the top of the hill! 


Then we need to walk about 15 more mins until my grandma's grave. 


I was having fun doing this, only if the tower was not blurred by the stupid auto-focus. 




only if this photo had better exposure. ;L



Later that day I went to my uncle Hong's place. I loved to go to my uncle H's place when i was in China, they used to own a store and I used to get foods for free from the shop. HAHA. When i left my cousin was just a little 2 YO toddler, now my cousin goes to primary school and had her very own sibling! I doubt the next time im going back my little cousin would be in primary school again and my other cousin would have be in secondary school. And my friends would have had babies already. I could go on and on talking about it but i decided not to waste the time. Lets get on with the photos!

does my little cousin looks like my baby ? according to my other cousin, i look like a mom. Maybe i do. what can i do ?

you know i love jumping photo ! 

 haha i had unevenly drew brows. 

My little cousin is on my granpa's back and this is the baby sling wrap for Chinese people. We wrap them at the back with flowers or patterns embroidered on the straps and at the back too. 

me in a baby sling wrap. haha got my niece on my back! this is a preview, watch out for day 7-8 ! 
  

ofc, we feasted ourselves. Yummy authentic foods!

I stayed there about few hours and I went out at night again with my cousin Hao. We went to the Walmart, yes it's the American Walmart. we had one at my city for a very long time ago too. I should run a Woolworth at my city too. HAHA 

my city at night 


 told you i love jumping photo! You jump i jump ! jks. 



 just inside the Walmart, having some silly fun. HAHA 


which ear warmer suited me better ? pink or blue ? 


You think my day just ended there ? You are wrong. Then my uncle Hong took me to the night eat street market to feast me, ofc , nom nom has always been my motto. 



For those who have been to Aisa, would defs understand Asian's way of living. Night market is a very important cultural aspect in the Asian contemporary culture. 


 My lovely cousins, I swear every cousin loves me ! HAHA im a bit of kids-popular. Oh what can i do ? ;P

Food, Grilled spicy fish, and you guys probs can't stand this, as this is superrrrr spiccyy. 

So here is the end of day 5, you probably thought thats the end of the post. HAHA, I know I was surprised by my super memory! 

DAY 6 
I spent 5 days in Guiyang and it's time for me to go to my mum's hometown and visit my grandpa (mum's side). So the next day, Cousin Li ( the beautiful one), took me to the bus station and we rode a 6 hrs long trip to Wengan (good luck trying to pronounce this, or you can just simplely say $^#%). 

my grandpa, he had a holiday with my grandma with us just a few months before my grandma's death. And it was totally shocking to me and my family. I almost didn't believe it. And I don't know how grandpa dealt with it, so I talked with him about grandma's death. This topic should be banned but I just kind of want my grandpa to talk out his thoughts and feelings out to someone who actually wants to listen. After that i knew my grandpa indeed had hard-time dealing with the absence of my grandma. He told me:" everything he does reminds him of my grandma because they always do things together." I didn't say much as I don't know what to reply my grandpa with it. All I know is that he needs more companies which that I cannot give at the moment. I should really be calling him more often. 



I told you i was popular with kids or ( i forced them to take photos with me HAHHAAHAHA) Shh its a secret. 

I m feasting again. Not sorry at all. 

Alright, that is pretty much the end of the day 6, it is a much shorter day compares to day 5 as i had spent about 6 hrs on the bus, by the time i reached Wengan, it was already arvo. 

XOXO

Watch out for day 7&8 !

20

Did anyone mentioned that I turned 20 yesterday?
Well, what difference does that make ? If you let me tell you, then NONE. Age does not make a difference on my freedom. I still cannot drive, still can't afford to move out , still forever alone and still is the first year uni kid. See ! I already told you age does not make a difference.

Anyways, despite all those negative feelings. I had some pretty good freebies yesterday! Free foods!
I thought its time for me to reveal some horrifying changes of myself over the past few years that I spent here. I suppose you don't blacken yourself on birthday, or do you ? Maybe I should blacken my friends too! Friends, if you are reading this, I am not even sorry.


October 2010. The perfect age for camera whoring. Yeah i was 15 YO at that time. Stop counting your fingers for such easy calculation. USE YOUR MATH SKILLS ;()

June 2011, 16 YO.  I said i wont be sorry. HAHA math class year 10. 

November 2011, I didnt get why was I so self-conscious about myself.  when I was such a natural beauty  ? Man, teenager these days are way too harsh and judgmental on themselves. Love yourself more! If you don't even love yourself and who will ? 

April 2012, 17 YO. Our very first boost with Yuka! 

December 2012 - shopping with my bestie ! This is also the period where me and Y loves camera whoring on the bus. NOTE ' on the bus', yes we dont do anywhere else but on the bus. 

April 2013, 18 YO, haha my super long black hair. This is when i started to get so fascinated with make up and play around with them. My very first few items are one Lo'real brown eye shadow palette, one eye liner and one mascara and ofc BB cream. 

December 2013, 18 YO yes, I graduated from high school. that's my formal makeup look and look at my clavicles, they are sickly beautiful in a way (maybe?). 

April 2014, 19 YO, on my medication for acne and addicted to MT and dying my hair. 


November 2014, ABS adventure to Ikea. 


Tah-Dah April 2015, 20 YO ! Open-minded and positive young women who is currently seeking a life-long companion ..... just kidding. I am looking forward to my 20s year! its going to be challenging but this is where all the wonderful things begin ! Like meet the one,  make some real bux and meet some real talented and amazing people. Well, it may not be this sweet but one thing for sure, I will defs enjoying being in my 20s!
