♥ Profile ♥

My name is Wan Ling.
I'm leading a simple life with lovely friends and family around me.
I am the only child in the family. Some of you may think I'm pampered, but I'm actually just well taken care of.
I have a dog name Killy, which is a mixed breed - West Highland Terrier + Maltese.
My close friends who will always listen to all my ranting. (You know who you are) =)
My Lovely Cousins are always there for me. ♥
My parents are loving. ♥
Lastly, I have a wonderful Boyfriend♥ who will always be there for me. =)



maybe your first love is the one that sticks with you because it's the only person who will ever receive all of you. after that, you learn better. but, most of all, no matter what, a piece of you forever remains left behind in the heart of the one you loved - a piece no future lover could ever get, no matter what. that piece holds innocence, the belief that love really can last forever. it holds friendship and pain, trial and error, that one kiss you'll never forget, and that night under the stars you can never get back. it holds youth and everything you thought love would be. everything that was proven wrong. ♥

reach Johannesburg international airport at bout 6+am (SA), 12+noon (SG). and on our way out, we met this porter. asking to change S$4 to R$20. we didn't have enough small cash so i said no. he followed me all the way and keep tapping me. omg!! i got scared out of my wits man. but lucky, nothing happened. lol.

arrived at bout 12+pm (SA), 6+pm (SG) at Pietermaritzburg. and guess wad? our bags din follow us here. so we've to wait for another 2 hours+ before it arrived. meanwhile, we went to have lunch and some sight seeing. to the Valley of 1000 Hills and there's an area there where u can take the jeep and tour around there to see wild animals. =D it was fun but the weather is freaking hot when it's only 28 degrees. it's sunny there. damn sunny. i almost got burnt to death. grr... went to hotel and check in. [by this time, our bags are at the hotel already] hotel name - Golden Horse Casino.

060307 - tuesday:
we went to Hulett's Plant (factory). to visit their Plate Plant to see how they make AL plates. very interesting. the interesting thing. once we enter the office, there's this plasma TV on the wall. look carefully again, we saw our names on it. lol. they were welcoming us by putting our names up there so that everybody who comes in will see it. omg!! hahaas.

anyway, in the plant. i risked my 'life' by taking some photos in the plant when i'm not allowed to. lol. after visiting, they have meetings and meetings and meetings!! i almost died of boredness. was damn tired because of jet lag i guess. the worst is, i don't even understand what are they talking about. well, i tried to listen. i tried!!

after that, went back to hotel for about 45 minutes. i tried the internet blar blar blar. didn't bathe cos auntie didn't leave enough time for me to. so went out for dinner. omg!! all western food. don't like it. but i don't have a choice. almost slept while eating. omg!!

after that, went back to the hotel. tired!!

070307 - wednesday:
went to Hulett again. but today worst!! omg! the whole day meetings meetings and still meetings. went to the plant for about 2 hour only. bored bored BORED!!! nothing special.

went back hotel in the evening. this time, i bath first. only left with 20 minutes. wad the hell. just started bathing nia auntie was shouting outside for me to be quick. when i came out, she say i din give her time to bathe also. grr.. damn it lah. yesterday also wad. i didn't say anything also. waddever. after that, went out to eat. after that, went back to hotel.

080307 - thursday:
morning, went to see Hulett's stockies. hmm.. kinda interesting. this time, i understand what are they talking about. =D maybe because it's simillar to our office de things bah. hahaas.

after visiting, went to this underwater world - Ushaka. nice, but kinda scary. lol. cos we reach there first, so had to wait for the other car to reach. so went around and have a look. saw this bunch of black students coming out. so decided to take a photo with them. guess wad? omg! i was scared out of my wits! they all ran and cling onto me. omg! seriously, it's OMG! everyone of them is touching me everywhere. oh well, not everywhere, but.. grr.. okay, quickly snap a photo and wanted to get away. who noes, they all came up to me say another one. -.-" fine, another one. after photo taking, they all came and hug me. omg!! later they explained, cos there are not many chinese go there. so they were just 'checking' if we're 'real' by touching us all over. omg!!

fine, after everything, went to have lunch. lunch was kinda interesting. it's in an old shipwreak. buffet style. same kinda food again. arh!! waddever.

after having lunch, went to see the underwater world. nice. BIG fishes, BIG sharks, and BIG turtles. lol. after the underwater world, went to see seals and penguins. blar blar blar. had fun. =D

went for dinner and went back to hotel to pack.

090307 - friday:
woke up early to pack again. cos we're flying off to Johannesburg. waited downstairs for the Hulett guy to come pick us up. guess wad? he's late! and we're gonna be late for check in. oh dear. he called and ask us to take a cab there. so no choice loh. took cab to the airport.

oh ya! i didn't say right? the domastic plane we ook was damn damn scary!! serious, not lying. it's so small that it could only hold up to 25 people. and it's ALWAYS over weight. omg! had a hard time flying on it. it's like sitting bus, or even worst den buses. i got so dizzy until i almost vomited. lucky it's over. phew!

so, reached Johannesburg and we went to do some sight seeing. went to the gold mine and museum. well, kinda interesting. saw how difficult was it to dig for gold during the past. poor workers, whereas we are just looking for more and more gold. sigh.

after that, went to hotel to check in. this time, i'm sleeping with SockKheng. lucky, save my ears from nonsense from her. anyway, rest for a little while, and went for dinner opposite our hotel. there's this BIG shopping centre opposite. so went there for a walk and dinner. after that, back to hotel and sleep! tired.

oh ya! the hotel's bed is very comfortable. =D

went to this game reserve and hunt for animals. okay it works like this. u drive in urself and pay the enterance fees. after that, go into the place. it's a large piece of land. all natural. as in, there's lions, leopards, blar blar. all animals have to get their own food. like lions, they'll have to catch their own food if they're hungry. lol. interesting huh?


after that, went to the African Market. bought quite a numbers of things. *happy* had fun bargaining. hahaas. it's not 'auntie' to bargain there. sometimes they give unreasonable prices. from R$300++ i can bargain until R$80+. can u believe it? imagine if i pay R$300++ for the thing when i can get it at R$80+. omg!

WTH lah. she's always the one dowanna choose herself and now she push all the blame on us. pissed off and didn't talked to her for the rest of the day.
