so SweEt of PAul

25th March 2007
it' really so sweet of ah rain to prepare dessert of us! all ingredients are from shanghai.


this is to compensate elaine for the Ice-Cream Mochi that he didnt manage to find in Shanghai


..and i think this looks sort of like a wedding cake hee

starting to slp early...

but right now the radio has got so many songs i dun wanna slp yet! the deejay is playing chinese and canto oldies, from 城城 to Sammi to 张学友. tell me how not to stay tuned.. argh! i regretted not bringing my hp earpiece!

since i started going gym 2 weeks ago, i've been turning in earlier than before.. to go to hku gym is not easy. 1st u have to be an experienced gym user (which i am) or u need to attend a course (which i also need to since i dun have a gym card to show them). after that, i need to register the course online, which is damn difficult to get a place because kiasuism is not only present in sg and it's only opening 10 vacancy per session. Earlier i've been wanting to gym so much but couldnt. now i finally feel much better! esp with all the food here and not having to eat much fruits here (a bit difficult to store fruits and i dun like eating the same kind for a few days in a roll)

aniwae, 大家 (or rather i'm reminding myself hee) i'll try to blog more ok cos sad to say my days in hk 已经所剩无几了..

OppA in HK...

and i missed him!!!

really sad when by the time i knew it he's already left hk...

he even went Central.. so near to HKU! =(

Urban Planning in Practice in HK

tme still up at this hr is definitely not a surprising thing to most of my friends out there haha.. knowned for staying up late in the night watching tv or doing some stupid rubbish hah.. but today is slightly different. i'm down with my assignment which is due this coming monday!

wah lau.. this project is really diao!
>8000 words report
>>4 of us
>no proper project meeting up till today, a mere 30 min
>>no brainstorming of ideas
>98% communicating thru emails!
>>no sense of involvement
>poor organisation and flow of essay without subheadings
>>no need for content page, needless to say executive summary
>one even dare to suggest to request for postpone of submission! WHICH I ABSOLUTELY COULDNT BELIEVE IT!
>expectation: undoubtedly C+ for a NUS standard

i can smell the morning dews, hear the chirping of birds and feel the breaking of dawn..
~FrEsH AiR!
ironically, time to get into bed for me. *YaWn*

I'm sorry to bring this up again.. but i really would like to send my greatest condolence to jusitn's beloved, that had been thru thick and thin with him, especially in Shanghai 4D3N. If not for him, we wouldnt have all the nice pics, especially on day 2 and 3.

Goodbye Shanghai~

and presenting to everyone: the TOILET!

photo taking session before leaving for our next destination!

which is KTV!


a huge room with 3 tv and a mini stage! tambourines provided really make it even more enjoyable for us!

And our 3Rd day in Shanghai did not end just like that because we just step into our last day WITHOUT ANY BREAK!

Day 2 @ Shanghai

So on the 2nd day morning, we went to 合记 restaurant, as recommended by the 司机大哥, for brunch! it's so yummy! RMB100 for so much that we cant finish!


After that we headed for 七浦... it's a whole lot of wholesaling shopping malls and pickpockets!



look @ the crowd! we had an exhausting time bargaining with the vendors!!

night @ 人民广场:

this is like our Orchard Road.. but of course with more beautiful neon lightings and architectures!

look @ the coke bottle!!!

...and more!!!

believe it or not.. Raffles City is here! Managed by Capitaland somemore!

Our Dear Daphne brought us to this steam soup restaurant for dinner! it's again Cheap and Tasty!

Up Next: Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Fondue! (though w/o the appropriate set-up)

After dinner, we decided to stop by Daphne's place.. it is indeed a cosy place! we found damn lots of yummy snacks and good stuff again!! which led us to head down 南京路 the next day!

Shanghai Day 1 (to be continued...)

at the airport.. and we gotta board the plane like any President! hehe.. Btw can anyone spot Justin? haha!



our hotel: Kaibo Express Hotel.. aniwae the acengy really cheated our money lor! It’s not like what he claimed near the 市中心 at all!


The vending machine at the lobby sells basically anything that u’ll need on a trip. We bought our map from this!


@ our hotel lobby.. marking out our hotel on the map!

me and ah rain basically slept throughout the whole journey to Shanghai.. and now even on their bus! hee..

and here we are @ 豫园 a.k.a 辰皇庙.

We had lunch at this restaurant.. do take a closer look at the menu! Isnt it cheap ?!!

Definitely a sumptuous, delicious and satisfying meal! (sorry to those who are already drooling!)

..and we didn’t have enough of 小笼包! there’s a Q just down the restaurant that we went to.. reason being: 16 for RMB10! Isn’t that dirt cheap?! and the best thing is it’s delicious!

Saw this paper cutting stall and we were all so attracted to the cute paper cuts!

The potential customers!

night @ 豫园

...and more of course!

Ah rain is eating this 包 that requires a straw to suck out the 汤汁! Sounds delicious huh! but it cant be suck out aniwae haha!! u wun noe how disappointed all of us were!

A group photo finally!

a night scene @ the Bund a.k.a 外滩..

It was raining so badly that there is really no one on the streets accept the 6 poor tourists haha

“Journey to meet Daphne”

All wet :( ! probably cant really tell from the pic. aniwae we were waiting for a ferry ride to “过海”, like in HK haha, to the Pudong, which is at other bank of the Huangpu River, to meet Ah Rain’s beloved friend, Daphne, who has also become our beloved friend during the trip!

She’s supposed to meet us at the sushi place called “Ben Sushi”, which is so ulu!!! and she’s late. We were all drenched and hungry! :(

Time to tuck in!

And dear friends, pls pardon me for all these photos of delicious food hee.. it’s really damn delicious! I really wanna share this with u guys! It’s so mouth-watering such that we die die wanna go back to eat again before flying back to HK! Can u imagine it? (haha)
