Alright people, it's peek-ture time again.
Anyway, I'm serious I can't view my own page but I can blog so I can't reply any tags on my tag board. So sad can. The tag board is like the soul of this whole blog. It would mean I can't communicate with people anymore~ I'm an island! T_T
Ok~ Early last Sunday morning, we set of for Shanghai as Mrs Ma the wife of the owner of this whole big-ass company was here for the last day. So, it's a shopping trip for us. It was rather depressing to find it raining la.
Basically from what I heard when it starts to rain really often it means the season is changing so spring is ending and the nightmarish summer is coming. It can actually have a high of 42 degree. Imagine that! getting roasted just by stepping out or even staying in. Thank god I will be back home by then. Thinking of the crazy weather back home scares me so much already. After all I've been here for 1 months plus with a terrific cool weather.
This is Shanghai for you. The roads are like maze. There are road side stall everywhere, just imagine vehicle drive by with black harmful exhaust and dust, lands on food and you eat it. Sound delicious don't you think? Haha, but I would wanna try it 1 day maybe on my last day here.
Anyway, so we stop for lunch at this really nice restaurant. The ambiance was great. It was once a art gallery if I'm not wrong but whatever it is, it serves great food. Yes and we are all patiently waiting for our lunch to be serve albeit exhausted.
Once after lunch, we went on a shopping rampage. Everyone of us carries 3 - 4 bags. It was rather chilly hence we are either putting our hands in our pocket of folding it. It wasn't posed just for taking picture. We were actually standing like that for about 5 minutes.
Yes, yes! The landmark of shanghai
Finally, we went for dinner. Once again it's seafood. They have such a wide variety that it's a little scary. When I say wide, it's really really wide I think if I would to put up the pictures, all of you guys will lose your appetite.
Hmm maybe I should.
There you go. This is only 1/8 of the whole assorted variety. Tell me, do you dare to eat the seafood on the 1st row 3rd picture from the left? It looks very erm.. scary and it gives me goosebumps just by looking at it.
Okie dokie~ I shall end my post here will be back next Saturday if I would to have any more pictures as It's highly impossible that I'll be going anywhere this weekend.
p/s: My friends who were in Myanmar are going back today due to the cyclone. What an experience gain although a tragic 1. All 4 of them are safe and sound that's the most important thing.
p/p/s: I'm broke for this month. Mummy~ haha
p/p/p/s: Esther is coming back on Monday!! Yippeee

Something unexpected happen.
It's never meant to be and will never be.
Sometimes, things just fall on you and get out of control no matter how well you can control your life, what you want to do, what time you wake and what kind of achievement you want to gain. It's not controllable.
whatever it is, it'll be over when I'm home.
I Just hate it when things go out of control. It's so not my style.
Putuo shan pictures.
Grab a soda and some snack, there are loads of pictures coming up.
5 hours road trip to Bei lun and 1 hour 30 mins of ferry ride to Putuo shan. It sound like grape mountain when we heard it initally. Anyway, we had lunch at a seafood resturant. (I seriously lost touch in blogging. I've got no idea what to type and how to type it!!)
Anyway, The ferry smell of perspiration and cigar. Mind you, people here do not bath everyday. Yes, so you can get all sorts of funky smells and mix it with cigar you get the true authentic "nan ren wei" which is freaking overwhelming. You have no idea how glad am I when we finally reach out destination. FRESH AIR!! never smell better.
Within 5 mins, we were whoosh to our hotel. Great view! it's actually directly infront of the beach. Took trucks load of pictures. Everything went well till our tour guide came. Man! she really have a serious attitude problem. She was freaking fierce and showed us a super duper black face for the entire week ends. Hence, whatever she said after that was shut off.
Views like this, we don't get it very often. City girl will always be a city girl. Most of the pictures are taken by my roomie~
That very night, after all the traveling and the drama, we sat by the beach and had a beer or maybe a dozen of it. Got kinda high, I sure am glad that Esther was there. I was lucid but walking in a straight line was impossible for me than. Yes, yes, anyone who is drunk will say that they are lucid but I really am. The very next morn, cable car ride to the mountain top to another temple. Please don't ask me what's their name. I can barely read it.
Once all the traveling is done, we headed back to Bei Lun and had lunch at 老板娘 restaurant. Fabulous I tell you, the BEST chinese food every apart from being too oily. Everywhere, over here food are flooded with a layer of oil. the amount of oil can last us 1 month.
The very next day, Monday, Esther received news from home that her grandmother passed away. So she's off for home on Tuesday and will only be back on the 12th.
On Thursday, it's a public holiday, I have no idea what holiday but all I know is that Carrefour is the place to avoid if you do not want trouble. All that I heard was, there will be a protest going on. Anyway whatever is it, it's none of our problem, we headed down to somewhere ( I don't know where we went you see, all I did was just follow) to have seafood again.
It was scorching hot but the sea breeze is damn great. You can actually feel the warmth and the cool breeze all at the same time, like 1 side hot 1 side cool.
After a quick tour round the beach, we arrived at this villa with mudan flower. Sadly, we were late. All we get to see is endless and endless of soil. The weather is so different as compared to when I 1st arrive. T.T no more cold weather. The temperature differ so much day 30 degree, night 17 degree.
Anyway, if you guys are thinking of catching a movie, "Iron Man" isn't bad so is "The children of Huangshi". The movie by Jackie Chan and Jet Li is really a waste of money.
Alrighty, It's off to Shanghai tomorrow morning at 8am. Will blog again soon, which will most likely be next saturday. See I happy not, I happy I bring camera if not my lousy handphone should suffice. ^^
Night night Y'all.

Good afternoon y'all.
It's been a cold cold start of the week. It's alway grey and gloomy here and nothing surprises me anymore. One min the sky can be really nice and comfy and the next min, wind could be howling like no body business. Temperature fluctuate on 2 extreme ends here.
This morning I woke up to find that there is no water. It's damn sad I tell you. I have to brush my teeth with the measly amount of water the tap could give and by the time I'm done with my teeth, there is none left to wash my face. Hence, I have to make use of the drinking water available.
No water means no shower. No shower means sleepy for the whole crappy day. I was yawning throughout the whole morning while doing my stuff. It was damn bad. The following pictures shows what I did to make myself away.
Yup, glum look. There's more, so if you are sick of it you can close this window. =)
Hip hopping? Nah! break-dancing..
That is me running to the hostel. The wind is freaking cold. !!
Alright I shall end my post here and will be back soon! ^^

Alright people, I've got so many pictures to upload and I have no idea where to start. Although I still miss home very occasionally, I really like it here apart from their culture. Spitting is a Oh-so-normal sight. It's a anytime, anyhow and anywhere. Man and ladies all the same.
I am doing real fine.Meals are prepared by 2 cook and room/clothes are clean and wash by 2 younger ladies. The weather is still cold but great. The only difference is it's a Saturday, my off day and I'm up at 8am automatically. Tell me to do that back home, you'll only hear me mumbling "scoot off".
Anyway, at this point in time, if given the chance to work here, I would not mind. But somehow, it's still too early to say. Who knows by the end of 3 months I'll be sick of it and will be terribly home sicked.
Moving on to the pictures. Properly in sequence (I hope)
***
Time: 3.10pm
Crap, I din realize I have that many pictures and now my hands are too numb to do anything. It's freaking freezing and I'm wearing 4 layers of long sleeves (long sleeve shirt, cardigan, wind breaker and a jacket not forgetting scuff), I'm still shaking!
After picking and choosing, I've got 61 photos!
Wee~
Ok photoshop officially hates me and It's driving me insane! I heading out and will be back. with pictures or not? We'll see I'll try to put it up asap.
***
Alright, the photo is finally done. Sadly, I'm still stuck home cause it's raining!! damn! Some one buy me my YSL concealer.
Part of my job scope. Sorting out embroidery thread. It's a nightmare! Been at it for 10 days and it's not even done. Imagine the volume of it.
Sight seeing! I have no idea what's the name of this place but it's next to Suzhou museum. A garden or something. This is the very 1st time I'm seeing sakura. It's a beauty.
Intermediaries breaks at several restaurant and cafe. The resturant isn't very must the high class waiter serving restaurant. Being there make me feel like we're in huang zhu ge ge drama. Haha. Yes! I also manage to try their bing tang hu lu. Not nice 1 leh.
A gathering cause the boss is here. The man who owns it all. Japanese restaurant. Too bad I have a small appetite.
Parade! Very Chingay like and this is the ugliest Merlion I have ever seen. Anyway, fireworks here is a common sight. You get that every Friday and Saturday plus weekdays if there's VIP.
Thou shall not mock me for I've cross the bridge of knowledge making me a very knowledgeable person =)
Arighty, That's all folks! I can't believe I've been blogging for the whole day! Will be back soon and take care for the weather is insane.

It's Day 2 in china.
The weather is so cold. Maybe not winter cold, but it's still cold.
I like it cold rather then the sweltering warm weather we have back home. It was even raining heavily when I left the office. Hence, I'm real glad that we do not need to walk.
Anyway, here are some pictures from before.
The day before I left, My grams birthday.
China! Just some shot taken momentarily after we alight and on a 2hr journey to our destination.
Ah HA! car without car plate no.
Grey foggy afternoon.
Cold weather, wear more.
The rice cracker I love most. Stuffs here are affordable. I'm so gonna get more of this rice cracker.
Alrighty, that's all folks will post again soon.
p/ SER!! CAMMY! BED!! SIS! Mom and Dad... I miss you~~~
