我回来了!

在我奉奉光光的去上海的时候， 没想到路途会这么快停止。

回来的感觉一点也不好，因为是公司倒闭， 不想大洋宣布。

However, it is a blessing to return back to Singapore also.

I would say that this Shanghai trip made me learnt a lot and now will be able to appreciate things better. Their living standard and culture are totally different from Singapore and cannot be brought back to use.

No doubt, there is always a greener patch of grass at over the other hill. However, your own home is still the best.

I would say that no matter how good the living standard, environment, attractions and it is a desire to have them, but truthfully nothing feels better when you are back home even though everything is not as good as it can be.

I would not say it will be a regret coming back at this point of time, but it is a learning journey through this experience and like what my blog stated, there will be any journey which i need to be embarking on. The road is tough ahead but the success is to be seen.

Strive for the best and treasure ur surroundings.

Shanghaiese

你好 = nong ho

谢谢你 = xiang ya no

再见 = jie wei

I love you = wu lou hui sxu nong

We go out together = ah la chu qu bei xia lai

taxi = da di

With these knowledges, you can definetly survive in Shanghai.

National Day Celebration in Shanghai

Lights, Camera, Parade

It is 9 August 2008 and It is Singapore National Day. We are asked to help up in the Singapore National Day Celebration held by Singapore Shanghai Business Assoc(SSBA) in Shangri-La hotel. In-charge of the lucky draw, kind of xiong, because must tally these and tally the results on time. However, it was fulfilling as you will fill a sense of achievement after you put in effort in something and u do see results. Even though dinner wasn't given a share and need to go out to buy macdonalds, but there are many helpful staffs which helped me to make my lucky draw section successful. They are the banquet staff, NUS helpers and etc.. Haha

Fun, Tired, Shag

Let the day end now

Being served by a cute gal
Photo-taking with her

It was a Saturday and we went to meet friends, Jenny and her sister. We were walking to find a eating area and there we see a cute waitress starting outside the JS restaurant and we decide to go in. She is 翠翠, a shanghai student who has been to singapore before and she knows abt orchard road. Haha. It is breath-taking experience for me as I have done daring stun asking a stranger to take photo with me. But she was also kind enough to have a photo taken with me. I left my contact and so did she. It was a wonderful experience. Hope to contact her on msn and be able to go out with her once before my flight back to Singapore.

Thanks 翠翠

Thanks everyone.

Will be back home soon.

It has been a long time since I last blog. Maybe there is nothing much to talk bah. Haha. However no doubt, for the past few days during that week was fun as I have made many new friends in Shanghai from local Shanghaiese to foreign French and Taiwan. The fun was there, it was an enjoyable moment. But life is always like that, there will not be everlasting togetherness as everyone need to lead their proper life.

I really hope we can meet up once again despite the location.

Let fate bring us together once again.
Haha.

Miss everyone

Enterance of zhong yuan si

The story continues as jianzhang goes to Suzhou. The motive = to meet a suzhou friend. 2nd motive to explore more places in suzhou other than shanghai. Took a cab to the shanghai train station. Wow. The cab costs was like 55 rmb. Kind of ex but no choice. Never take mrt b4. Haha. At the train station was like packed, so many ppl. Then you do not need to move, they will move you. Haha. Got a window seat.

Reach suzhou le, meet up with my fren fren also can say my fren Jerry, a person who is very good in website design who design the www.ambition-lh.com. He brought me to Tiger Something ( Hu Qiu) with his friends. The trip was fun. Took a lot of pictures. Can see from the link.

He brought us to dinner also. Wow. The dishes was nice. There was one dish like sg curry. Wah.. Kind of miss SG food. How xia.. Wonder how to survive. Haha. After that stay over at his house and play warcraft stragety map.

Next day was also interesting, send his friend off to the bus terminal who is flying to guangzhou. After that we go to another famous landmark which is another temple. A praying ground which pepople will go on 1st and 15st to pray to Guanyin. The place was very grand. Absolutely Fablaous. And the best thing is that the entrance fees is only one rmb.

After that, it was time to go back. I feel contented even though the stay in suzhou wasn't long but really wan to thank Jerry hospitally. Maybe if there is time, I wan to go to suzhou again with a day tour or something like that.

Will end here. Suzhou Trip

Shao Bing. Roti Prata?
Bao plus Zhou ( porridge)

2.50 rmb breakfast. Something like pancake. Quite niceLunch.. Not Bad. Got Fish and Cucumber with Fruit
Tix to Suzhou.

Wah.. Didn't know Shanghai breakfast can be so interesting. Morning, We follow one of our collegue Candy to buy breakfast. She bought the shao bing.. It contains a layer of crispy flour, then spread with egg. Then after that add a little salted vege and peanuts. Then add some sweet sauce. I find it interesting. Wanna give a try also. The picture is just half of it. It is 2.50rmb for the whole thing. Eat le damm full. Haha.

Lunch was not bad also.. got fish and cucumber and even fruit somemore. Predicting it will be sucky. But actually it is not bad. The only bad thing is that the fish have a lot of bones. Eat that time will troublesome.

After lunch went to buy ticket to Suzhou to meet Jerry, ALH overseas partner, a friend. Went alone because my partner and supervisor didn't want to go suzhou. Sianz. Weather so hot still need to walk. Sweating like a pig almost tio heat stroke. However I was happy, as it is the first time I got independent and buy my first ticket overseas. Walking alone and buy things on my own. To me is a big experience as normally there will be companion. The bigger challenge will come on Saturday when I will go Suzhou alone in train. I think after this trip le, travelling alone will not be a problem le.

Cya.. Will be blogging only after Suzhou bah.

Things is not as easy as it seems. Even though a difficult task is being given to you, confirm there is a way in getting it done. But at the point of time, the environment is not right, not actually the environment which will give you encourage and strength to do this task. From the ability and knowledge of one, such a task lowers one spirit tremendously and there isn't any acknowledge from top when brain are being stormed. Always puting on mouth stating wan one to make it seems work and from base to tip idea, listening isn't there then what for. Disaster predicted to strike in the days to come. Hopefully there is no "thunderstorm" or "winter".

No photos because in cave. Always no daylight. Cannot take.

Will try to energize myself with goals in mind

Yuyuan, a place where there is a lot of sceneries. Quite oriental bah. The place was not bad. Took a lot of photos. There is a cheng huang miao nearby where there are a lot of things selling at a very cheap price. Bought a red tie with chinese characters for my dad. But i think he will not wear. because it is too trendy le. Haha.

Will be back there again to get nice painting at around 10rmb nia. Haha. Even though it is cheap but nice hor.

At last, it was Saturday. A day which I can escape from the so-called country side and go to the city. What I can say is that Pudong Wulian is a place where you do not wan to live at if you want to play alot. Because there is nothing to play here. Sucks leh. At least SG MRT ends at 11 plus. Here MRT shops at 930. WTH

Because it was going to town, buying gel is required to make myself look good. Haha. Puxi was nice. It is almost like Orchard road. Everywhere was so happening and you can see a lot of different types of people. Especially angmoh so that you wil not feel like this is a fully cheena country. Haha. Took a cab there for movie. Chi pi " Red Cliff" is the movie we watch. No different as SG the cinema actually but the entrance was damm cool. Other than that, everything the same. However their snackbar got gelatto icecream for sales. Xian Mu bah.

After movie, walk pass MRT station to go to my supervisor friend cafe. Woohoo. He is a Singaporean. Another SG person. Shiok. We called him Da Ge as he promised to bring us go walk walk also. Haha.

After that, we saw a nice fountain and take a group photo. Then walk abt 30 mins to Shanghai Bay as keep asking people, they say 15 mins. Walk abt a few streets more than ask again, same reply 15 mins. At last we reach the destination and took some pictures. I bought street stall. Haha. Mutton Satay. Hope my stomach can take it. Haha.
