Wow... it feels great to be back on mainland....
25th December
-Woke up at 430... to catch a taxi to Changi Airport to a flight on Silkair leaving Singapore at 750
-Plane took off 5 mins later then stipulated time....
-Arrived in Xiamen at 1330 ( or something like tht)
-( becos this trip was actually requested by daddy's customer...) went to one of his houses in Xiamen ( he has 4 incase you wanna know) ( really very rich)
-Skipped Lunch due to some breakfast on aircraft
-basically yakking away until 1645
-went down to walk to second house ( he has 3 in some guangming building and one in a guanghua building)

-went back to guangming and sleep
26th December
-Breakfasted China style... with porridge and the like
-Went to some place known as gu lang yu... to attend to customer's godchild's mother-in-law's retirement from some facility for the sick ( nursing home)
-(damn lame actually) cos hve to drone through near 1hr of silly singing ( honestly it reminded me of Singapore Idol all those drop-outs)
-Had lunch there
-Went back to Guangming and visited the other 2 in the building... customer was saying wht he was actually intending to hve us stay in one... then he felt tht maybe we might not be used to it

-Went to some hill they call odd hill (kuai po) it is really odd... you can put something there like a water bottle and amazingly it goes up... when the hill was upwards ( you go uphill ... water bottle follows uphill, including vehicles that are not moving) Scientists say tht it is an optical illusion... but it looked real

Honestly... it was a rather sick experience... with cold weather... and resturants all night... but overall still rather enjoyable... it is also extreme though... we had airport staff escorting us in and out of airport from SIN-XIA and ppl all so nice to us cos mummy was in wheelchair...
Daddy's customer's wife was so nice... she and customer and customer's god child all so nice ( since they all try to find time to entertain us)
But.... Still nice to be in Singapore
