Day 10, Beijing - Fine but cloudy

Went to a mall that sold some "small stuff" shops suggested by the chauffeur. Lousy place. You know what they sell? Cosmetics, but those dunno wat ulu ulu brand types, dunno made from wat ingredients! Wait apply liao, face all pimples, if worse, whole face lan diao! And all the shops sold the same stuff even combs also the same! Siao meh? Then on the 2nd level sold clothings which I've seen after visiting so many places the past few days. Actually the things in China, all the same! We left the place in 20 mins. Shitty place.

Waited for the chauffeur again! This time also half hour! Mummy got fed up again. Haha, but I made use of the time to read Slam Dunk comics! Siao liao! His explanation was he was out of the car to buy cigarettes. Believe? Chey!

Went to Shu Guo restaurant there again, ordered the Shui3 Zhu3 niu2 wa1 again!! I took photos of the food again, but this time kena said by a waitress.

"Sorry, you can't take picture of the food."

"Where did you state that no photos were allowed?"
Dad angrily said.

The waitress looked frantically for the sign, but she lost!

But as obedient as how Singaporeans are, I kept the camera. The last time we came here, nobody said us also what. Somemore, the last time round, we even asked whether photos are allowed, and the waitress said ok! Dad said if we were ang mohs, they won't bother to tell us to keep the camera. Cos' they're of "higher" social status? But to me, they won't bother to tell them cos' need to use English mah, need to think how to phrase English sentences. Haha.

Then came the performances started at 7pm. Was the same, but the "change face" master was even better than the last one! He could change his face right in front of the diners! Applause for him! In addition to the performance, there was a lucky dip! The always not so lucky us didn't expect to win anything. We just continued to eat happily. *Ah, my niu wa!*

"6th prize...."

""First prize... Table 51, Step 2, Mr Ng!"

"ARRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daddy!!! It's you!!!"
I quickly shoved him upstage!! He was still chewing on the piece of niu wa I gave him. He quickly wiped his mouth of grease and hurried up. The whole family was taken aback by the surprise and cheered him up!

"Would you like to say a few words, Mr Ng?" The compere asked.

"Wishing everyone good health and prosperous!"

Then I heard someone shouted "Thank you!" from below.

Dad won first prize! It was a prize of RMB$200 dining vouchers and 2 free buffet steamboat vouchers at its restaurant! How lucky we were!!! Never so lucky before! It was not the amount of money, but to think we actually won the FIRST prize leh! It was this luck that Dad felt so happy for the rest of the night, forgetting his troubles at work and the draggy meeting in the late afternoon.

Happy night!
