The Exciting Work Trip!

About 2 weeks ago, I was busy with my work trip in Guangzhou and Thailand for 10 days with my boss, Teresa. It was so sad that I couldn't open Blogspot, Youtube, Facebook or Twitter, which I always do in Malaysia. China blocked all these websites=( Imagine life without all these exciting website!!!  Ok, back to the trip, on the 1st day...I was so forgetful until I thought I didn't bring my camera when I couldn't find my camera at the airport.. I was freaking out! Teresa even told me she didn't bring camera because she thought that I would brought along. I was so sad!!! I felt like buying a camera on the spot at some Camera shop! How can my trip without camera?!??!?! I thought I should just use my Ipad to do all the shooting while at the trip..I was so sad and emo while on the airplane..Somehow, suddenly I remember I put the camera in another bag which was inside my checked-in luggage bag! Oh yeah! I was really HAPPY at this moment. Now I realize how important is my camera!!! I just can't live without camera!! I have so much stuff that I want to shoot and share it to the whole world! YEAH! =)

Hello! Covered my face with this cartoon because my face looks horrible after the whole day taking flight to China.. It was my dinner!!! Deliciously Guang Zhou spicy sour mee! Look at the color of the dish! Freaking red and freaking awesome!! Oh ya, in case you don't know what is my job. I am an assistant designer for GallobyThian, a local designer brand. Search for it! 

Here we head for the foot massage after the dinner.. LOL like so relax right? no...
We do this because we want our legs to be more energetic for the following days..We are going to walk all the time to do research on fabric and stuffs!

After the foot massage, I did this cupping therapy! Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy. It stimulates acupuncture points (meridian points) by applying glass cups to suck your skin producing blood congestion and thus stimulating that area. I feel so good after that!! Wuhoo!!! Gonna be prepared for the work war in Guang Zhou!!!

Morning BeiJing Street! Near by the place where we stay..Looking for breakfast!!

All the cute bags that are selling beside the hotel I stayed.. Thought of buying it, but don't know where should I bring it to.. Hmmmmm... 

Then we are here at out little workshop.Teresa and our tailor is disccusing about designs.

While waiting for them with their disccusion, I was looking out at the window, seeing all these kids playing rope skipping. So cute!!! You can hardly see our kids playing all this here in Malaysia already. We are all so lucky!!Appreciate it!!!

The first time I step into this busy,huge fabric building!!! It opened up my eyes!!!! OMGOSH!!!
It was so freaking huge!!!!!!! Imagine the whole Time Square in Malaysia is selling fabrics in every shop!!! There are so many floors!! People even cycle while searching for fabrics!!! WOW!!!!! It couldn't be compared with Hong Kong anymore and it is SUPER CHEAP!! It was just so WOW WOW WOW~! I think I'm like a human that just came out from the jungle!

Look at this busy place! People and cars are all around! Jam like !@#$%^&*()_+!!!
People and vehicles are all running around on the same road.. I just feel so unsafe!! Scariest traffic that i had ever seen so far! Opened my eyes again! 0.o


At the basement, every shop is just selling accessories for cloths! such as buttons, buckle, zipper, printing, etc...
Can you imagine each row of the shops is selling only buttons? and another row is selling only buckle?? goshhh... So huge!!!

Part of the buttons that i found they were really effin' cute..and you can even take each of it to be your sample! So I stole alot! muahahhahahhahha!!!


Those copycat design of branded stuff belt buckle.. This is how fake things came out in the market...
China is really awesome.. They can do whatever you want as long as you had a soft copy for them.. LOL If you ask them to design, they don't know how to do it.. They just keen in copying stuff! keke...

Look at this lacing shop... It is just part of it in one shop! Imagine there are still a lot lacing shop just selling different design lacing.. Can you imagine! they have everything you want! You just have to search it out!! 

After a long hectic fabric sourcing day, we then move our butts to this awesome vintage Japanese restaurant!

Another building that opened up my eyes! OMGOSH! I never thought of seeing these much leather shop in one mall! Damn! Freaking big! They have all kind of leather! Find any leather that you want here, for sure you faint of seeing all these leather. You can even smell the leather all around the mall.. For me, I smell bbq lamb... hahahhah I don't know why.. call me a FREAK.

Underground MRT.. Damn freaking lot of people! Now I know why their kids are easily lost!!!

Both of the restaurant are full with people and you need to Queue! Imagine how tasty it is! Their sushi are so fresh unlike in Malaysia........ Urghhh..

Another breakfast at Zhong Da, Qing Fang Cheng.. McD with KungFu Panda! So cute!!
Well, we was doing the same things all these day in China, researching fabric for current and next season's collection..Freaking tired, but I like it.. It was so fun of seeing and discover new stuff!

Saw this scene that really makes me feel sad and shame on him. His mom was looking at fabrics, and he just tied up his kid at the trolley. I know, she just want to avoid missing her child.. But I still feel bad for her son.. He couldn't run away as how freedom as he can..and he lye down on the floor like a dog...eeerrrrrr... Not a good idea at all...

Last thing that I really want to talk about.. hahha.. Look at the picture..The weather is so hot! 
Till this man is taking off his shirt while walking.. Damn! I think it was so gross... I don't know how they survive at this kind of place.. people spitting everywhere, guys taking off their shirt everywhere, talking loudy everywhere, drive like a cow everywhere! I will be mad if I live in China everyday! That's why I saw all the poster in China was saying about creating a civilized community..

Here I end my 6days of work trip in Guangzhou!

Everything was just so great for them i guess? I never know why my friends like to travel at Bangkok so much until I experience myself! It was awesome, not joking! I wish to go there again and again! Love Thailand!!! =)

Oh ya, the reason we were here was to do T-shirt printing and accessories! I can say that the accessories for this season is awesomely good! Stay tuned k! 

One of the impressive local accessories shop I went in Siam Center. They are really talented with their awesome designs! Everything in the shop was so tempting! Teresa was successfully seduced by two of the accessories and she bought it! Omgosh! It was really expensive though.. but worth it for the design! =)

The awesome Siam Center which all the local designer was in it! 
I was so impressed by all the designer's clothes in there..
