Haha...finally blogging again... have been really busy at work these days... anyway, I shall continue with part 3 of the maf traveling... =P
Went to 新街口 (xin jie kou), walked around, had lunch at this food court in a shopping centre called Fashion Lady or something. The place that’s like bugis street... I ate the 辣子鸡米线 (spicy chicken mee sua) for 12rmb, which was more like sg’s 粗米粉 (thick bee hoon) actually... quite a nice change from the type of noodles we generally get here... I miss noodles like 粗米粉 or mee pok or mee tai bak! Hahaha... anyway, the taste of the noodles was not bad, but the amount of chicken meat was really miserable... >_< well, I’m kinda used to it by now... reminded of the 红烧牛肉面braised beef noodles that I had at the jiaotong uni’s canteen previously... hahaha... 1 pathetic cube of beef... -_-“

After lunch, went back to walmart where William finally bought his bolster to bring back to shanghai... hahaha... I bought various foodstuff to top up the supply in my nj apartment...
After walmart, we slacked at kfc, where we had popcorn chicken and coffee float! Have I mentioned that china’s kfc’s popcorn chicken is very nice!! Haha... I find it much better than sg’s version! Haha... the ones here are smaller pieces, but nice & crispy... =P oh, and the coffee float was not bad... I was asking if they served coke/sprite float instead of coffee float, but they said no... and I was thinking to myself... kfc sells coke, sprite, coffee, and ice-cream, so why is it that they can add the ice-cream on top of the coffee and sell you a coffee float, but they cant add ice-cream on top of a coke/sprite to give you a coke/sprite float... -_-“ well, we had quite a while to slack there coz William was taking the 4+pm train... and he was kinda packing some stuff into a luggage that he’d just bought... our dear mr William is really cmi at packing... he was pulling one rather empty luggage, carrying 2 sling bags and holding onto some plastic bags!!! Like omg... what’s the luggage for if you don’t fill it up?! Haha... it’s a fixed capacity there, not as if the luggage will compress itself if you don’t put anything in it... so you should obviously try to stuff whatever you have into that luggage first to minimize the no. of pieces of baggage you gotta carry? Moreover, since that luggage has wheels, it’ll be much easier to pull it around than to strain your shoulders and back with those heavy sling bags, and not to mention your hands occupied with carrying several plastic bags and 1 BIG BOLSTER... >_< so well, I suddenly thought of my mom’s wondrous packing skills – she’s known to be a magician when it comes to packing... somehow, she can defy the natural laws of matter, making it seem like matter suddenly doesn’t occupy space, or that solids can be compressed to occupy less space... haha... and she does it like she’s playing a game of blocks twisting and turning every item to fit into the limited amount of space, shifting items here and there to fully utilize whatever little space there is... so when you thought that NO, itz IMPOSSIBLE that anything else can fit in there, she does her magic and... VOILA! There it is... sitting neatly in the luggage, with my mom by the side, beaming with pride and self-satisfaction... hahaha... =P yah, so well, even if I haven’t picked up all those magical packing skills from her, the 0.0000000000000000001% that I inherited from her was still more than sufficient to help William pack his stuff into 1 luggage, 1 sling bag and 1 bolster... –beams with pride too- =P
coffee float at kfc... =)
Finally, it was time for William to catch his train, so he cabbed down to the train station from to 新街口 (xin jie kou) while I took a bus back home... so that concludes our maf traveling in nanjing! =)
