i need time. 

I need time to do what I have asking myself to do, I want to process photos that I have taken over this past month. There are hundreds of photos and I don't have the energy/time to process them. 

I need to get them developed by end of Feb before the Harvey Norman promotion expires! but before that, i need to have some time to do some post-processing!!!!!

Feb has been well.. busy. I spent first week in China, 2nd week trying so hard to finish editing the photos (still unfinished) and meeting for gatherings. 3rd week, which is this week, I'm out of home everyday to get some income for myself or running errands. ): 

so busy (i know it's good) but I felt like I'm busy over nothing. :/

Meet up with my ex colleagues!

Meet up with my ex-colleagues again after returning from China! aww, i so so enjoyed the night today with them! felt reluctant to leave Lee Kwan's house at 7am. ):

whatever whatever. anyway, after work ended at 5pm, I went off to Faber Park City Square Mall to meet up with Lee Kwan, Chai Li, Ah Net & Zhang Xuan first.

Then we went off to NTUC to buy weeeeeheehehehe alocholic drinks and etc before we head off to Nanxiang Resturant to enjoy our buffet dinner on a promotional price whereas we get to order $160 worth of dishes!

smart Soon Ann, cos the tang bao was really hot and drinking from the straw is pretty hard for us. He devised a plan for us whereas he covered the tip of the straw after putting the straw in the tang bao so some soup is actually sucked into the straw, then he took the straw out and place it inside a spoon for us to drink. None of us thought of that!





Xiao long Bao! Not so nice, but i like it hmm.



I remember in Motorola, they say I always look like I'm communicating with my food before I eat them. I think Ah Net is starting to pick up the skill already. :D

Last Day in Shanghai!

Last Day in China today. uhm, didn't went to that much places today, just the Beijing Tong Ren Tang and then to the largest souvenir shop and then to the airport.

heh, so cute! Brought 2 of such for Lee Woon and Shi Yun!we left at 1pm and head off to the airport.


got th admit hor, their books are really cheap, though I didn't get any in the end. xD 

Day 5 in Shanghai!

It's the last 2nd day in China! We started off with going to XiHu (yesterday's night was just a part of it) and also touring of West Lake via boat.
 halfway while approaching West Lake, this is what we saw!



reached West Lake and walking to the boat station




 the very famous Su Dong Po










This place was really really very crowd.





after alighting from the boat at a point, we walked to Yue Fei's temple. heh, really changed a lot because the last time I came here with my family in 1997, the temple was really disgusting, there's spit and urine on the 4 status of the traitors who killed Yue Fei.because of the urine and spiting, the status material had to be changed umpteen times, and now, no one is allowed to spit and urine on it, but we can slap the status LOL.







 beautiful flowers~~









after this, we head off for lunch at this buffet restaurant, where uhm, it wasn't very fantastic even though the varieties were massive.




 toy poodle!



the weather here wasn't exactly that cool, so I actually only wear one layer of jacket and i just hit the street. after the lunch, we took a long ride, close to 5 if I didn't remember wrongly, back to ShangHai because we have to leave from there tomorrow. had xiao long baos again! heh, i like the xiaolongbaos here, and it's cheap too, i think we ordered like 3 baskets of xiaolongbaos. and i couldn't remember how many i ate, i just remembered I ordered 3 times.




 after the dinner, we went to New Shanghai, where it is really really very atas. the resutrants there were like more for the casucians. And the price? Not so cheap.


afterwhich we head off back to hotel, where it's freezing!

Day 4 in Shanghai

Hello!! Today's the 4th day of the trip already! heh, time really flies when you have nothing to worry about other than having to wake up on time. we went to the pearl farm in the morning and they show us how is pearl extracted. and even though my mum is really money-conscience at all times, she just couldn't help but be psycho by the sales person about the wonders of pearl powder, which she said I could use it.  Initially, my mum wanted to get the masks, which is a crazy $10 per piece and well, i got to admit it was really awesome, but $10 is pretty hectic, and we didn't get that in the end, because $10 is like... heh.
we got the pearl powder though, which is like $30 per tin (i forgotten the price auctally) and it works out to be about 6 or 60 cents per gram. And we are using it carefully right now, not for consumption yet, we used it for facial purpose. and we are expecting it to last us for 5 years, that's when the powder expires.


after the pearl farm, we head off to Wuzheng's town (well, i don't exactly know what it is, so, yeah :/) where i like it pretty much. there are still families living there, and I thought there wasn't. tsk, imagine living there during the holidays, and having to endure all the noise and the lack of privacy. :/


the bridge where the girls should walk on the left, and the guys on the right. then make your wish, susposed to come true. so i wished for something simple, and it sort of came true already. :D 

Day 3 in Shanghai!

3rd day in China, where we started the day off in Suzhou! We went to Han Shan Temple, which the famous Tang Bohu wrote a poem about this temple!

Heh, today is the day where i took a lot of photos which I personally like it a lot! :)

outside the temple. 

Day 2 in Shanghai!

Morning! heh, sooo, continuing for my Day 2 in Shanghai! today we spent time in Shanghai and Suzhou, which is pretty far from each other! about a 3 hours ride (pardon me, i forgotten the exact time for the trip already!)

In the morning, the first place we went to is Nanxiang XiaoLongBao Resturant. I've heard about it from almost everyone who went there before! like "oh you must try! it's famous, but i think it's only so so", haha, and yeaaaa, my parents find it so so too! only me, a sucker for xiaolongbao, who thinks it's fantastic! hahaha.

Nanxiang Restaurant!

Shanghai Trip Day 1

Better update about this trip before my memory failed me! :p woke up at 4am to wash up and then reaching at Changi Airport at around 6am. heh, I was pretty much exciting at then! Actually, all the excitement came in only when I packed my luggage, which was like 2 days before leaving? This trip is pretty rush for me, just 2 days after ending my attachment and zoom zoom I have to fly to China already. I couldn't afford myself a me-time. ):



After breakfast at T3, we took a photo while we are heading to the departure gate. FYI, it was my dad & mum first time in T3. ha ha, yeap, they have never visit T3 before (not to mention taking flight from here).


Our family (not sure about my grandparents though!) first time inside the departure hall. :D auctally, there's nothing special about it. normally when I visit T3, I'll be like "wow, i wish i could go inside, it looks so damn classy!" but hmm, after going in, no such feelings exist at all..
