Day 38 - Shopping at 司门口

Had presentation at 9.30 with all of us turning up in formal attire. Well, at least the top half is formal...

When Pei Jie and me arrived, Zee Min's group was already there and so, they were to present first. We came in second and so on.

Masita, Hajar and Zee Min preparing the laggy laptop and the simulation.

Yea. Me, Pei Jie and Hui Miang going in next.

Mr Wong's question was really... something I never even noticed until he pointed it out in the model- Our fork truck was wasting time because it was taking time to sort out the cargo...

Xin Hui,Hashanah and Nadiyah's group came in next.

This time, Franice, Ci Min and Mei Yun had more energy then the last presentation.

Lastly, Randolph, Clive and Benedict had their presentation. All three of them sported ties too.

After the whole event, everybody was into photo taking and so, I also got this shot of Masita with Clive's tie and Clive himself.

Afterwards, went to get lunch at MacDonald's with Zee Min before heading back to the hostel room to wait for Anna and Kiwi.

Went shopping at 司门口. (I think that's the street name)

Primary school that we passed by. Reminds me of my own primary school though.

And they are doing exercise that is swifter then Taichi Fist (太极拳). Why am I thinking about ACES day?

As we moved on to keep shopping, we kept rushing into stores whenever we see sales. And for the first time in my life, I was trying on mini-shorts and actually, they are ok since I am so fair.

And we had a photo with the mascot. The poor guy in the suit. I mean, imagine having to wear a costume like this for hours and under the afternoon sun...

We still went shopping as the sun was setting. And on the bridge, we saw...

Many vendors selling their stuff, especially cheap clothing. Even if they weren't cheap, have no fear when you have local friends tagging along. Both 姐姐(elder sisters) were actually bargaining with the store owners all the time.

All these are hand woven by the Lady-boss herself. Even the barbie dolls get some nice clothing due to her nimble and beautiful needle work.


I just realised that all the older generation of woman are fond of knitting, especially after they all retire at the age of 55 plus. This is a form of recreation for women that we will rarely see in Singapore. I find it a pity that not many people are fascinated by knitting and woollen products.

We also passed by some unusual pets that I could not keep...

Unusual pet number 1. Snakes(蛇). Ain't this serpent adorable?

Ok, I wanted this breed of dog as well. A mixed wolf dog with Alaskan heritage with piercing blue eyes.

Unusual pet number 2- Chameleon (变色龙), Ok, Admit that it kind of freaked me out a bit.

And some Guinea pigs or their family.

At last, night falls. And as we head for dinner with Zee Min and Pei Jie pulling us into any shop they fancy along the way...

Check out the lighted Yellow Crane Tower(黄鹤楼) as well as the full moon.

Went for dinner while chatting with Anna and Kiwi. Learnt more about their way of life as well as praising them for being such 'bargaining queens'.

Can you believe that we shopped until 9 plus and yet still feel that we have a lot of ground left uncovered? it's like we are only at the tip of the ice burg.

Reached the room by 10 plus as it is...

Don't expect too much in the last few days as there will be not much activities save for shopping.

Well, night all.
