Thirteenth day in China

This morning mom made banana smoothies for me, very nice and healthy! I am thinking of getting a tiny blender just like mom's, it doesn't occupy much space and yet it does wonder. Mom only use it to blend fruits, so it's nice.

The air is all foggy (or probably it's dirty) today, it rained a bit around 10ish, so we didn't go to the mountain. After lunch, we went to a local supermarket called Auchan. It's Chinese and western invested supermarket just like Wal Mart or Tesco (we actually have Tesco here lol). There's another shop there called Hola (House of Living Art), it actually looks like Ikea in Shatin! It sells all sorts of western imported goods. We bought a broom there, very light, for collecting dust on the floor at home. Mom's using it right now so I thought I'll take one with me this time!

Oh I also see B&Q there :) as well. Auchan is a *huge* supermarket, whatever you think of, they sell it there. Food, clothes, shoes, electronics, phones, etc. Just like Tesco in the UK :) Even the trollies there are as big as those in the UK hehe...We wonder around, mom bought 2 packs of freshly cut pork, some Chinese pickles (for youngest aunt), ready-made duck in package (again for aunt), some noodles (for aunt again lol), then I found some QianRen - it's made of wet tofu sheets, will go nicely with the pork! Granny used to make it whenever I visit her during summer. Veryyyyy niceeeeee :)

Then we wandered to the bakery session, oh my god it'll be hubby's heaven heh. Mom bought 2 bags of freshly baked bread, one's hard (for her to dip in milk, she likes it that way in the morning lol), one pack is soft, maybe I'll have some tomorrow for breakfast :)

We spent about 2 hours in the supermarket then we had to head back before rush hour otherwise we might not grab seats on our way back. I need to sit down cos it's about an hour long journey! Mom's carrying 2 huge bags of stuff, I tried to help her by carrying the broom, but when the bus arrives, she took my broom and told me to take my time, she rushed and squeezed into the queue and got on the bus and trying to grab me a seat first! Those people rushed in, I was nearly the last one to get on. Once I was on, the bus started moving, I was carrying my umbrella, trying to grab onto the any pole on the bus, thank god this kind woman offered her seat to me, I thanked her. I tried to find mom after I sat down, she saw me have seat already so she can sit down :) The bus journey back was a bit hot maybe the air-con wasn't on on full power. I dozed off a couple of times...

When I sort of woke up, it's 2 stops away from home already. After we got off the bus, my lower left tummy felt this stitching pain, kinda link to my back as well. I had to walk very slow and pressed that area down, it felt a bit better that way but still not perfect. We had to stop on the road once before I can carry on. I thought it's because I needed to pee thats why...After I got home, I rushed to the loo, it felt a bit better but still not completely. So I went to half lie down on the sofa. Rested for about an hour before I could get online.
