Big apetite

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 07:33:00 +0000

Waking up early has its advantages. You can shower without stress and you prepare a nice breakfast. Right now I'm cooking "instant rice soup". I discovered it the other day at the "Asian shop". It's like instant noodles but… rice soup. Now this is not congee, but really more like a soup. I ate it before in Thailand and loved it. Soup is good. ^__^

My breakfast in Bangkok. You can't really see the rice though as it lies in the bottom. It definitely look a lot better than the one I'm about to eat…. :P

My apetite has been so good lately, despite sickness and everything. Right now I longing for a big shortcake (sockerkaka)! I think I'm gonna buy one on my way to office...

Chinese news radio....

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 12:03:00 +0000

When I sat on the bus in Haikou, I heard a familiar tune playing over and over during the radio news sessions. It didn't take me long time to figure out where I've heard it befrore. It was the config screen music for the Nintendo 64 game "Wave Race 64"!

Chinese people are pretty shameless when it comes to stealing songs, and I've heard tracks from both Japanese anime series and games, as well as Hollywood soundtracks, in several Chinese TV productions. Well, at least they had good taste in their selections!

Saturday evening

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:15:00 +0000

Tonight's food

My new Bang & Olufson TV! Heavy as hell. Genuinely heavy. And not until I had it at home I realized that it probably wasn't 32" as stated, but what's even worse: it's not even widescreen!

Oh well, it's pretty damn sexy and the sound quality is gorgeous!

Bourgone wine. Something I missed when I was in China.

New TV...

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Patrick somehow just "convinced" me to buy a new TV… I thought the price was appealing, so I asked him to call the seller, and one minute later that old thing below was mine…

Now we just have to go and get it...

Mando Diao won the Song of the Year tonight at Grammis 2010, a Swedish music award show. Very cool!
What's even more cool: My name was included in their thank you speech!

Sick

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:37:00 +0000

I don't feel very good right now. Lack of sleep and a cold that's just waiting to explode is my probable diagnosis. I've been feeling nauseated and dizzy whole day, so I left office early to rest.

Will I be able to avoid getting sick….?

Stomach pics!

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:28:00 +0000

For those who simply doesn't believe me when I say I got fatter…

You can see on the second photo that even if I bend and try to make it look normal, the stomach still sticks out!

Pancakes!

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:10:00 +0000

Woke up early and watch some video clips. Saw someone eat pancakes and got a sudden urge to make pancakes. Too bad I don't have any jam at home, so sugar will have to do.

Waking up early is nice. I will enjoy it while I can.

Fat!

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:42:00 +0000

Oh shit, just discovered that my "fatter stomach" really is fat! Might sound silly, but lately I've noticed that I definitely gained some weight and I've also been joking about how my body is undergoing changes for the 30s, but seeing the thing in profile in the mirror really made me realize it.

It kinda looks stupid. Like a little ball around the bellybutton. Can't it grow more even, on the sides, chests, arms, etc??? I look like an alien now. Or a pregnant man!

There is of course also a tiny chance that it's all the flight food I ate..

Back in Sweden

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:09:00 +0000

I was damn lucky with the buses tonight. Almost no waiting at all. At least something.

Now I'm going to take it veeery easy….

Göteborg, here I come!

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:02:00 +0000

I'm sitting in Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam waiting for my last plane to the final destination. My trip so far has been rather conventional, with nothing special happening at all. Or it could just be that I'm getting so used to problems that I simply don't care anymore. I've been sleeping through the whole trip so I guess I won't have much memory left of it tomorrow.

I've caught a cold. Not sure if it's a persistant one or just a getting-used-to-airplane-coldness-one.

Sirloin steak. Pretty tasty, but still long way to go. How I miss the real "man bites"!

Avatar 3D at 10:20. Funny how the 3D glasses vary from country to country.

No sleep tonight

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 19:46:00 +0000

It seems that it will be another mission impossible with making the luggage weight this time again. Made some last minute shopping in Haikou earlier. Hell is waiting...

Packing stuff...

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:10:00 +0000

Last day.

Yesterday was mixed with regrets.

My flight departs early tomorrow at 8.40. This means that I have to wake up goddamn early…

I'll be going to Haikou today, and probably come home late, so I have to finish up here..

Later.

An afternoon alone...

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 08:04:00 +0000

Began with a meal at Coffee Time:

Then I went on a walk in the park. It's filled with exercise equipment. Good for health.

Haikou again...

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:06:00 +0000

Now there are only two days left on my China visit. I'll be leaving on Monday. Feel a bit empty. I feel that I've learnt so much on my trip.

Today I was in Haikou again to leave my cousin at her friend's place. She will be missed.

The pics above are taken at my cousin's friends apartment.

Then we went to Hainan University to eat lunch. Her friend recommended us to go there for some weird reason...

I joke you not: Chinese schools are BIG. Yesterday, I visited Wenchangs high school, one of China's biggest, and it was a huge area with all kinds of facilities and apartments, but it was nowhere near this! There is a justified reason why "University" in Chinese consists of the two characters "Big" and "School". You need a car to travel around in the area. Need it.

Okay, here's the high school restaurant food… Cold soup and bad service.. but only 8RMB. Well worth it.

Later we ate noodles that were made on location.

16 degrees

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:38:00 +0000

I had wished for some nice weather before I return to an ice cold Sweden on Monday, but I guess I'm supposed to slowly adapt to a cooler temperature.

Today, we'll be going to Haikou again, and my cousin will stay there for the rest of the following days. I will remain in Wenchang, but I'll be visiting Haikou more, and I plan to go and see Avatar 3D there on Sunday. Yes, my second time.

Well, gotta go.

Two photos from yesterday...

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:40:00 +0000

Didn't want to update yesterday as there wasn't really anything interesting to update with. We ate an awesome Szechuan lunch, but stupid me forgot the camera so no fun. The rest of the day was spend on looking around for clothes for my cousin, drinking coffee, and sleeping. Later that night we went to karaoke again with my friend and her colleague. I guess there really aren't that much to do here except singing haha.

The room was good, and the microphones sounded great.

I pretend to sing with my friend.

Day 2 in Sanya - Nanshan Temple (Jan 3)

noreply@blogger.com (Yeu Kang Hua) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:43:00 +0000

The second day in Sanya we visited Nanshan Temple, Ehrm… let's get on to the pics!

A classic.

After a craaaazy taxi trip we finally arrived.

The girls bought their outfits the day before while shopping for hours while making everyone else wait. Well, at least they're colorful, I won't take that away from them.

Apparently you needed ID card to enter, which I had left at the hotel room. So I had to wait in this little confined space, as people walked past me, while waiting for my friend to go and bribe the ticket sellers (I think).

Our first stop.

There are "wish ribbons"...

I bought these: Wishing… "One life of safety and happiness", "Success in career", "Happiness and safety in family" and finally "To have a child soon". Hehee…..

Need only to fill in my name..

…and then tie them up here.

Random poses.

Time to do some praying

We prayed in front of a laughing Buddha.

My cousin

Goofy hand posing

The statue in the background is this place's main attraction: The Guanyin Statue.

Now thaat's a goofy pose!!

Cool little girl

The sky looks so beautiful and heavenly on this pic.

Some food I ate later.

Me and my cousins.

We were going to leave the next day but still haven't had time to visit the beach, so we decided to go there at midnight.

The beach is there, I promise!

Pretending to sunbath.

Suddenly there were fireworks right in front of our eyes. Beautiful.
