The day started very early. To be very accurate, the previous day didn’t end. As I would be away from Friday onwards, I was rushing to complete the weekly report before sending it out at around 2:30am. As I was just sending out the weekly report, Honey messaged me a video clip of me falling asleep on honey’s living room sofa and snoring. There was no chance of me being able to snore that night though, because I still had to pack my luggage from scratch. So, I messaged honey to chide her for being a naughty girl and not turning in yet. Honey was chatting with Ding Qiao Ning over Wechat and got too excited. Yup, she is that cute! J It would not have been cute to turn up at honey’s auntie place without essential items though. So, the towel, shaving cream, shaver, tooth-brush, underwear and facial foam were in. I was prepared for there to have no cellular network in Chong Qing, so I was intending for the phone to be utilized more as a camera. Even then, the power bank and the charging cable were still needed. The laptop and its charger were in as well. Most importantly, as I had been repeatedly reminding myself in the past few days, I made sure the ring had been brought along. J ❤

I finished packing around 3:30am, so I laid down to get a shut-eye. I wasn’t successful as I was too excited about the first overseas trip that honey and I were going on in just several hours. So, at 4am, I got up to start preparing. I went to shit. Then, mama also woke up to help prepare my breakfast. It crossed my mind that honey might over-sleep, so I dropped her a msg. She called back to say she had already started preparing. Knowing that Ge mama and honey are coming over soon, I quickly went to shower. Before I could get fully clothed, honey called to say that Ge mama was already going to turn onto the AYE. Arhhh… I rushed to put on my clothes and grabbed the last few items, e.g. towel and toiletries, before flying down to the 转转 at my block downstairs.

Honey was ever so cute in her specs and asking why we need to wake up. So, it seemed that Ge mama had to claw honey out of bed to ensure we can catch the flight on-time. Along the way, honey was telling us how Ding Qiao Ning remembered her – as a sabotaging friend who will 打小报告 to Ding Qiao Ning’s mum and get her caned. : – 0 Hahahha.. exactly how I imagined honey!

Ge mama dropped us off outside the departure hall, leaving honey and me to excitedly go to the check-in counter. I combined my towel and toiletries into honey’s check-in luggage. Then, off we go into the departure hall.

Honey had a lot of shopping to do inside the departure hall, so much so that we didn’t have time to look for food to fill honey’s hungry stomach. Changi airport shops are strange, to say the least, at 6am in the morning. The shelves were half empty. Products of a different brand were being displayed on shelves that claimed themselves to be of another brand. The sales personnel were missing, leaving the whole shop unattended. Some of the more helpful sales staff explained that the shops were changing hand and the old products were being cleared before the new batch of products were displayed. I couldn’t really understand what they were saying. But I guessed it didn’t really matter. I just felt 心疼 that honey couldn’t eat her breakfast.

After running around asking the different outlets about Chanel, Kiehl, Sisly and Clinique, we were just in tim e to board the 小笨鸟，as my cute honey terms it.

Ying Ying and Lai Yong came to pick us up from the airport. Prior to the trip, honey had been telling me that Ying Ying’s boyfriend is 35 years old and that he would be coming to pick us up. So, the first moment that I saw Lai Yong, the thought that flashed through my mind was: “他保养的也太好了吧！” Hahaha.. Turned out Lai Yong is just 16 years old. And he is Ying Ying’s brother.

We went to 二孃 place from the airport, where feng 叔叔 has prepared a feast for us.

I drank far too much and got quite drunk. Luckily, 二孃 passed me a blanket and asked me to 喷一下 （睡一下的意识). After that, Xiao Wei and Ying Ying brought honey and me to their homes to give 福豆 a visit. They are renting the place for 3000 RMB a month. The rent in China is not that expensive, I guess. 福豆 is a German shepherd puppy. He looks very fierce and I am sure he can rip off anyone’s neck without flinching if he finds a need to. His paws are huge, just like a lion. Looking through my photos, I realize I forgot to take a picture of福豆.

Then, we went to 南山 to eat 正宗的重庆火锅！This part, I must describe in greater details. The place is situated at the middle of a mountain. The tables are arranged outdoors. There are 2 rows (maybe more) of tables situated at different height of the mountain, with some sited inside a 亭子。The tables are made of concrete. Functional, nothing fanciful. It is in the shape of a square, with 2 people on one side. The food is delicious, with a lot of exotic ingredients that I can’t name now without honey’s help.
