We’re in suzhou these few days.  The weather is cold, we stayed at home monday. My mom wanted to cook but soon realize that there is nothing in this apartment — no pan, no oil, nothing!   Monday night we all went out to eat japanese foods with his coworkers.  They are all malaysians working there, very friendly and warm.  I know a few of them, a few has left, a few new faces.

We went to hu chui pagoda (mandarin or tiger hill) yesterday.  It was a bit cold, but they don’t feel cold, haha.  The place is very old and very big, my parents went there before but they still enjoy the visit.  The place was not busy at all.   We spent the morning there, then we took a taxi to downtown.  I cannot remember the name of the street, that place has many restaurants, etc.  Too many restaurants and we did not know which one to pick.  My dad went into one of them, but left because that place has many people smoking.  We went to another one, with window table, very nice restaurant.   I called to ask if he can join us, but he was busy. He suggested us a few restaurants, but it is too late, we have ordered.  Haha.

We then walked around the area, my mom likes shopping.  My dad, Nee and Derek went their way and my mom, me, and Ray went the other way.  We basically walked around, and bought a few small things for the children:  hats, glove, etc.  My mom bought a small one piece cloth for my sis’s baby.   Ray suddenly ran into one direction while I was paying money.  I was so scared and followed him …. haha, turns out he saw my dad and the other two having ice cream in a shop.

We walked a bit more until he came to pick us all up to dinner.  We went to a small restaurant ordering beijing duck.  The foods are very good, but I cannot eat much.  I ate all day long, haha.  We went home early and everyone was so tired except him.

One thing I am not used to here is no car.  I am so used to drive anywhere, now I have to call taxi to go anywhere.  It is not so convenient.  Cannot have everything.

Today his colleague’s wife came to visit us, she showed us around the area.  We are going to go massage (by blind people) tonight.  My dad is bored already, he cannot survive living here or living anywhere but penang.  He suggesting we go to shanghai tomorrow, I don’t really want to go because he promises to take us to nanjing, hangzhou this weekend.
