Travel Diary day 7 - 8

First, I own you guys an apology for updating it so slowly.Right now, it's freaking cold, can't even type with my frozen finger.  I will try and not to make any typo tho.

Read travel diary day 5-6 here

So by the time I reached Wengan, it was already late so I didn't do much that afternoon except for chatting with my rellies.

Day 7

And the next day, my aunty took me to visit Grandma's grave at Qinken.

on our way to there but i was attracted to the mist behind all these building. Look at it, ain't it cool. 

the inner we went into the place, the heavier the haze became. It is not a good sign obviously as this indicates how bad the air population has now became in China even in my citiy considering that my city has a lot of forests. I am worried for my relatives who lived around this area. And I am also worried for my other Chinese population, I am lucky that I don't have to live in that environment for long but people, can we all do something and make the air clearer and better? 

Serisouly factory, you are earning money with the bet that you put with environment. If all the people who lived around area will ever get some kind of diseases then I believe your days won't be far either. You will eventually pay what you should be paying for doing such dirty deal. 

As promised in the previous blog entry here is a closer shot of me baby sling wrap my niece. HAHA for some reason I looked extremely tan and yellowy. 

This is how I will look when I become a mother. -- hot mama. HAHAHA 

Grandpa and great-grandpa. 

my cousin is being diligent for once and of course I need to record this 

Them fancy design living room + karaoke , pretty awesome! 

I looked like as if i was high but not quite to the top yet. LMAO thanks my niece Xin for such beautiful portrait of me 

Just to finish my day 7 with my niece Xin's photography on my niece Lian. She's not bad for her age aye ! And that's pretty much the end of day 7, I had a super long karaoke session cos ya'll know how much i loved karaoke!

Day 8
After all my other relatives left i decided to stay with Cousin Qinfan, and sleep at her place.

Ran for foods! After i woke up the next day the haze became so heavy and all you can probably see was like only 1 meter through the haze. It was that scary and ridiculously blurry. I felt as if i have problem with my eyes but it was actually cos of the thick haze. 

just in case if you are wondering what's that house right next to the white house. This house probably like 30 years old. It has quite some stories in it and I was sad that all other houses got taken down. They are pretty rare to see now. Everyone has replaced their old Chinese-style house with a lot more modernized two storeies. 

them UGG boots on the land of China. 

my mischievous cutie niece Xin 

HAHAH this was totally spontaneous, you can name her Bessie too if you want, since it probably gonna suits her better than me. 'dat old Bessie" HAHAH 

I was forced to be the model for my niece and obviously I wasn't happy about dressing this way and took a photo with it. I look so MEH.

--------------WARNING : Proceed with cautions---------------

Niece Xin's Show time ! 

God, she will hate me for this ! but dayum girl you have such long legs for being your age! 

After my random stroll down the road I decided to ask my First Aunty to take me to visit my other relatives who lived in the same village. 

just some spontaneous shots of the country view and houses

but then Xin decided to ruin my perfect shot, ,dammit Xin! 

HAHA, I know day 8 slowly become my niece xin's photo collection i do apologize for that but she was the person that i spent my most of my time with during my stay at first aunty's village, surprisingly how age was not a big problem between niece and I.  we had fun for doing random little silly things together. And she was also so passionate , mischievous but lovable in many ways. she deserves a place on this blog. ;) <3 data-blogger-escaped-nbsp="" data-blogger-escaped-p="">

Later that day, my xin's dad took me to another relative's place as they were having a little new years meet up with other relatives and of course, it was the perfect time for me to chat with my old good cousins and friends. I went,but i was a little bit disappointed in a way as I felt i was a little estranged with my old good friends that I used to play with all the time. I guess it is quite a long time since I last gone back home. 

yesh , I just wanted to show you my other niece's juicy little lips. HAHA she has the biggest lip for a little 5 YO. 

haha i just want to let you guys see, how dark I became since I moved to Australia. I blame you for my tan, stupid sun. ;L 

K that's the end of day 7-8. Man I can't even type anything anymore. It is now 9 degree at night. I need to stop now. enjoy all these random snaps. 

XOXO, stayed warm friends! 

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 ? 

cutie pie 

my cousin Xin on the left with her dad my uncle H and my uncle's brother's daughter (pheww). 

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! 

close shot of the salted egg. 

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.

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!
