    I want my room to look just like that. =D
  • entwined · 1 year ago
    omg. the room is gorgeous! and ringha looks very beautiful and serene :)
  • Yappy · 1 year ago
    Picture #3 looks like a painting. Life imitating art... Ringha is so beautiful and so... peaceful. Don't you just know how to have fun? Haha... :)))
    I guess there's a starbucks for every teenager. :) Mine was starbucks subang jaya. I wish it's 24/7 so I won't be forced to go back when they're closing. It's autumn in australia now. The weather is a perfect excuse for a cuppa. :D
  • iamdoryfish · 1 year ago
    Pink pau, im a banana as well :P So, can't help you on the reading. :( As for you and M, I hope you can cope with it. Time will heal
  • k0k · 1 year ago
    All is not well in paradise huh?

    I suppose I ought not mention, or ask after whatever it is that you kept talking about obliquely. But I read somewhere that when girl keeps doing that, she is really bursting to... well... burst. Whatever it is - like you said - just inner-peace the lot of it all away.

    Martian can't read chinese either o_0?
  • hui wen · 1 year ago
    Wow, the lodge you stayed in looks GORGEOUSSSS!! Is it frightfully expensive? I couldn't find the rates on the website you provided. :(
  • Jeff from LA · 1 year ago
    What an amazing place. I always love places where people still live simply and close to nature. That room you guys stayed in also looks amazing.

    Studying with Eeyang? What are you studying? Unless you already know what you want to major in, I have no idea how you can study before getting to college.
  • zachary · 1 year ago
    eh, would u mind to tell us roughly how much it costs for staying in that resort? n err.. how much 4 da trip? flight, transport etc.. wondering how u guys communicate since both of u so banana.. but u can speak mandarin rite? then juz ask that bun seller la.. durr~~ "a banana gal saw a banana cake stone" y didn't u take a bite on that stone? maybe it do taste like a banana cake.. ha! *not funnie at all* -.-"
  • michellesy · 1 year ago
    Are you OK babe? 0____0
    You just sounded a little distraught a few posts back and now you say you're angry. So, yeah, angry + distraught does not = a happy Su Ann in my opinion =(
    *Hugs* to make you feel better, even if there's nothing I can actually do to help.

    But as for your post, Ringha is just so beautiful! And serene - I think it's because it's blanketed in snow. I do wonder what it looks like during other times of the year?

    I was squinting at the signs to try and translate them, and then realised a few people had done a kick ass job, so I stopped haha! But yes, what a great selection of flavours - knowing me and the bottomless pit I call my stomach, I would probably have wanted to sample them all -__________-

    And wtf, banana cake stone wtf. Random wtf.
  • singaporean · 1 year ago
    hope everything will be fine between you two soon. you're such a sweet couple, don't let it go to waste.
    and the trip looks expensivveee. you lucky girl.

    kei : 3-4 hours is fine.. haha my friend waimin and i used to stay at starbucks mkiara from 6pm till 6am, then we'd go home when the taxi fares remove their midnight surcharge. hahaha

    sara : OMG glutinous rice...!!!!! i really should have bought more back =( thank you for the fantastic translation!

    natalie : hmm! i'm not sure what you're getting at..?

    tricia : i actually have so many more ringha pics that i really wanted to put up. but now i dont want to anymore. sigh. and yessss we should have tapaoed!!!!!!!

    sweatlee : nvm at least you can speak french!! *optimistic

    anonymous : yes i should have just picked summore right :( but we were both so full from lunch. donno why we never thought of tapao-ing back

    michelle : eh it's very nice :) you should check out the pictures at the hotel website

    entwined : it really is a very gorgeous place :) one of my friends who's been there says it's even more beautiful in the summer

    yappy : haha starbucks subang jaya!! i was just there today while waiting for Eeyang to finish his exam. the SS15 one, right? i love autumn :)

    iamdoryfish : thank you for your well wishes :)

    k0k : no he cant, haha! not much, at least. he can read a little bit more than i can.

    hui wen : ya it was quite expensive :( let me ask martian to leave a comment here regarding the cost :)

    jeff : i'm not studying, HE is! he just needs someone beside him to smack him when he gets distracted, you see :P

    zachary : martian handled all our accounts.. let me ask him to leave you a comment here regarding the cost of the trip :) haha it was SO DIFFICULT to communicate with the locals in china ok!!

    michellesy : i'm not distraught, just angry :) but yes feeling much better, thank you my dear *hugs* apparently ringha looks really gorgeous in the summer as well. haha thank you for mentioning the banana cake stone!!!! no one cared to mention it even though it's so funny :(

    singaporean : thank you for your well wishes :) you are very kind. i dont like to waste, either. sigh

  • Chen Chow · 1 year ago
    Great that you get to have a holiday at such nice places! Am sure you would have a lot more chances to go holz when u r studying in US...

    Really miss those long hols that I have during those fall break, thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break and summer break.. :)

    How I wish these days, I would still get chances to go holz..

    When u r in US, don't forget to check out Vegas, San Fran, Hollywood, Niagara, Orlando, Miami, Washington, Boston, NYC besides your lovely Philly (I miss attending conferences at wharton and also visit places like Penn Landing, Liberty Bell etc...)

    Oh yeah, how I can forget the lovely Ithaca. :) The scenery there won't lose Ringha too, except that it is not a holiday resort and don't have those cosy suites. :)
  • Yappy · 1 year ago
    Haha... yup, starbucks SS15. Lotsa memories there, starbucks and around that area too. I used to study in TCSJ. :)
  • reader · 1 year ago
    will it be snowing in ringha in july too? HAHAHAHA
  • Je'Dakota · 1 year ago
    Pinkpau, I think I know what's going on...

    I'm going through somethin kinda similar with my other half at the moment as well, and it's been dragin' me down.

    Anyway, hope it gets better for the both of us.
    Sick of them going too far, and forgetting to care.
  • Je'Dakota · 1 year ago
    p.s Just wrote about you in my blog, hope you don't mind.
  • Jia Meei · 1 year ago
    I love your travelling posts 'cause all the photos you post up are gorgeous and so descriptive! Gives me options to choose from when I finally do travel :p

    And I don't know what's going on but whatever it is I wish you luck :)
  • iamthewitch · 1 year ago
    The pictures are lovely... Thank you for sharing them with us! And I can't read chinese as well! Except for the word Beef in the boards. :S Ginger tea will release air from your body, no? :)
  • shazzy · 1 year ago
    u r very lucky..always get a chance 2 go 2 a nice place..im really jealous lor..how can i find bf like urs ? ;p
  • Chareli · 1 year ago
    the place is super gorgeous!
    banyan trees will never fail you lah. everything of theirs is so amazing.

    HAHA YAK SHIT!
    after that, did martian smell gooooooood or GOOD ? XD
  • cc · 1 year ago
    ringha is soooooooo beautiful!!!!

    and the banana cake stone is indeed very random... like... why did anyone care to write on a stone and why "banana cake"? lol
  • pinkpau · 1 year ago
    sheon : i ended up not going.. i assumed that it wasn't going to be as successful as the pavilion freeze :\ how was it though?

    sie : glad i did :D it's a beautiful place. do visit the surrounding cities like kunming if you can. we missed out on dali and lijiang, apparently those two places are must-sees as well :)

    foreverjas : you are so naughty!!

    chm : but she's happy :) and she likes her job.

    george : nooooo how could i deprive other visitors of the humour the banana cake stone brings :D

    vvens : cute right!! i think martian was quite annoyed cos i kept looking around the hotel to see if there were anymore stones. i thought it was like an Easter holiday surprise. hahaha. eh i want to visit this house that you will decorate :D sure damn nice wan

    gin : dont be angsty T___T ask fugz!!

    michelle : i didnt i swear i didnt T____T

    chen chow : you got no time to go for holidays cos you're such a busy person!! yessss i cant wait for all those roadtrips and visiting friends in other statesssss :)

    yappy : so did i! study in tcsj, i mean :) what did you do there? SAM?

    reader : nope! it will be summer then

    je dakota : ahh we shall drown our sorrows in ginger tea! :( significant others who dont know how to take care of us are undeserving of our awesome love :(

    jia meei : thank youuu so much :)

    iamthewitch : you are most welcome! hahaha does ginger tea really release air??? i havent felt the symptoms yet..

    shazzy : all you have to do is be cute :P whenever i ask martian why he loves me he always says it's cos i'm cute. as if there's nothing else about me to love :( am i not smart?? am i not witty and funny?? am i not incredibly awesome?!?! *emo

    chareli : hahaha i couldnt smell cos i had a blocked nose. but martian himself could smell his shoes and he said it was soooo bad hahahaha damn stupid wan lah he

    cc : NO IDEA HAHA i wish i knew :D the hotel staff didnt know where it came from either, but when we asked the GM, she just nonchalantly said that some of them thought the stones in that walkway looked like a banana cake.. so they wrote 'banana cake' on one of the stones.. o_O
  • Je'Dakota · 1 year ago
    Pinkpau: Yeah, completely. Do you ever feel like it's a drag? Like no matter how much love you express, they still linger in that "don't know" state. Sometimes I feel down like you, and especially because out other half are always distant.
    It's like you want to choke them with love, but they don't know how to give it back.

    Neglected.
  • pinkpau · 1 year ago
    je dakota : ahh.. it seems we dont have the same problem :) but i will give you many hugs nevertheless *hugs*

  • sheon · 1 year ago
    no wonder lar...i was looking high and low for you! i was with kellster smack in the centre of attention. hahaha.....dunno why, ppl just kept coming to our 'group' for photos and stuff.

    the freeze was pretty fun. but......i would have preferred a less publicised one......like....more like a flash mob punya style. that'll be more fun.

    but, i saw sooo many WTF faces, especially by the uncles-aunties. it was sooo hilarious.
  • Je'Dakota · 1 year ago
    lol... I mean like...

    Hard to explain.

    You wana be near them? But... They have something less important to do, that isn't THAT important?
  • Yappy · 1 year ago
    Nope, i studied a-levels. i was darren yap's classmate in pm4. Haha... Is this world small or we taylorians are everywhere? :p i met taylorians when i was working part-time in msia and now in aus, i met several taylorians too. Lolzzz.... :)

  • WP · 1 year ago
    Oh gosh...banana again?! Don't call yourself a banana, pinkpau (you're a pau! :P) the languages you speak (or read) are a product of circumstances more than anything. The people who call other people bananas should be thankful they speak Chinese (or Mandarin, as it usually is the case) instead of laughing at others who didn't have the chance to learn.

    Really wonder why there is "banana cake" written on that stone, btw :P
