Shanghai Day 3

Morning sunshine!
I had a great rest since we weren't partying the night before.

I fell asleep almost immediately when i got home.
Today's itinerary is to get a dress for wedding tonight!
It's not an excuse to shop okay!
By hook or by crook,
I must be presentable cos' I'm gg to be one of the "brothers".

临时被邀请一同和喜酒好兴奋！

第一次参加不一样的婚礼，应该会大开眼界吧？
既然是表新加坡的客人，我不能随便穿吧？
前一晚和大家商量我是不是该去买件晚礼服。
虽然大家觉得不需要，我还是过于不去。
我认为重点不是衣服美不美，而是对新婚夫妇的尊重。

Mingfu told us to have lunch here since I need to do some shopping.
南京路，时代广场

I like the high ceilings & crystals!
我喜欢水晶灯！
在叫我自己吗？哈哈

This is the best meal I had in Shanghai.
在上海最满意的一餐。


We finished lunch at almost 3pm,
H&M is a total failure there, it's just too ugly.
Zara is always a safe option.
& it's more expensive there!
WHY?


吃午饭后才发现已经快3点了。
5.45pm 有车载我们去酒店！
还没开始寻找晚礼服啊！　


Everyone is in suit & tried to bluff me into wearing something casual!
Luckily I didn't take their words!
Hahhaha.


大哥哥们都穿西装，
还告诉我不必太隆重。
骗我啊！


How do we look?
大家打扮起来还不错吧？


Dinner was great, cos' it never draggy.
Started at 6.30pm & everyone's out (of restuarant) by 9.30pm,

Including all the table-to-table toasting.
Bride insisted that I go around the tables with her,

cos' she wants to show off that I'm a pretty girl from SG.
I hesitated cos' it meant I had to drink (alot) with them...
Lucky Sylvia came out from nowhere to help the bride, else I'm screwed!
I was high from mixture of different alchohol, still!

当“兄弟”不简单哦！
有两位哥哥喝到吐，哈哈。
不过他们真的喝很多啦。
不管是啤酒，葡萄酒，白酒或黄酒都是一口气喝下。
真恐怖！！！　
还好有位大姐突然冲出来帮新娘顶酒，
不然我就得喝了！

I didn't finish taking photos of all the food as
we left our seats halfway throughout the dinner to go around the guests.
Everyone from SG did the typical "yam-seng" (toast).
I was spared from the stage, yeah!

大家都闹翻了。
这里的感觉很好，夫妇的亲友都很开放，一点也不太严肃。
结婚嘛，该是热闹，好玩的，对吗？

Oh yah, celebrations don't end when the dinner is over.
We were rushed up to 32rd floor to continue with MOET.
GOSH!
It's freezing cold in my dress!
I had to hide under the heater.

以为喜酒喝了婚礼就结束了？
想的美！
好玩的在后头。。。
哈哈哈！！　
我们到酒店顶楼继续和香槟。

I enjoyed the view...
漂亮吧？

Posing in the cold...
看得出大家都开始醉了吗？

Alvin's butt got slapped cos' I lost a game with Roystan.
Hahha!
If I had won the game, I will not give chance to spank him! LOL!!
我们在上海跳印度舞。

哈哈！

A picture speaks a thousand word.
闹洞房。。

Journey continues to Club 97.
More Belvedere & I don't know what...
I was the nanny for the night to ensure all the boys are home safe.
I don't know why but I was rather sober throughout after I left the hotel...
It was truely a enjoyable night!

Back track of time- Shanghai Day 5-8

Day 5

第五天

This is my 2nd place in Shanghai.
Finally get to meet Joan!

上海富豪东亚酒店

体育馆内，好特别哦。

周围也有好多餐厅，咖啡厅，等。

Authentic Shanghainese lunch.

Everything is handmade!

Thanks to this pretty lady here, that i've got a nice place to stay.

地道的上海菜。
蛮好吃的，我喜欢!

看了会不会流口水？

This is how it look like in & out...

把我的住所拍下，下次能考虑要不要住这里。

Belle followed her husband, who is based in Shanghai for work.
She brought us out for hot pot dinner.
Yummy!
I kept eating from the spicy soup base only. Haha!


住在上海的新加坡夫妇和他们的小孩。。。　
长得好可爱哦！

Did some shopping at the mall we had dinner but everything is so expensive!
Starbucks is the same price as SG.
Anyways, we love coffee!
I was excited going to the bathhouse that Dino mentioned.
Bath, hot water, sauna, steambath, body scrub, massage, facial, etc.
That night, 5 females & a 3 yr old boy spend 4.5hrs inside the place.
It was damn good!!!
We left at 3am.

韩国试的三温暖好舒服喔！
虽然大家都光溜溜的，没所谓啦。
反正都是女生。只有一位三岁的小男孩。
我们在里面泡澡，都不想出来了。
阿姨帮我们去除皮肤死皮，按摩还有做面膜。
感觉怪，不过效果很好。
不知不觉，我爱上了那里。
里头不能拍照，所以不能让你看画面。。。　

Day 6

第六天

We agree to sleep in & got up around 1pm..
By the time we get dressed it's almost 3.30pm?
Joan was nice to do eye makeup for me so i feel especially pretty.
We went to one of the restuarnt around the hotel for some food.
Dim sum wasn't fantastic here.
20/100.
Still, it's the companion that mattered the most.

我好懒得动。。。
下雨了
心情也暗暗
不过Ｊｏａｎ还是逗我笑！

The decor of the place was nice though...
IF NOT, I WON'T BE CHEATED INSIDE.

HAHAHAHA!

I kept pestering Joan abt my ugly chipped off nail polish.
I felt irritated & in distress.
I whined the whole journey, even to the guys.

Thank GOD we went to get something done, finally.
Cos' I absolutely love how it looked now =)

到了膀晚，我们回去澡堂。
可以泡澡，也可以弄指甲。
过后还试了韩国餐。

不错啦，还适合我的口味。

The korean food at the bath house was reasonable.
The whole experience is indescribable.
I felt renewed.

澡堂好好玩！
觉得焕然一新。

Day 7
第七天

We hate the season, sometimes...

It's raining again & it's the last chance we can go do some shopping for family & friends.

We had no choice but to wait & see if the weather permits us to get out of hotel.

I felt lazy, don't want to dressed up...

So we went lunch with no makeup, just something warm.

The place is cute.

Car garage like & the servers wear jumpers!

又下雨了，不懂能不能上街。
还好到了四点雨小了，我们赶快出门。

We are blessed by the good change of wind directions.

We quickly went back to our room to get dressed & head out to Qi Pu Lu.
It's supposed to be some wholesaler place.
Still, things ain't cheap after we bargained.

We had relatives coming at 6ishpm to pick us from the hotel for dinner & send us to airport.

BUT, we are stuck with no empty cabs for a long time.

In the end, we took a ride from this old lady which cost 12rmb.
We dropped off at the next nearest buzzling area where we could hop into a cab.

繁忙时段，没有出租车。

搞得我们得搭莫多车到另一个地方，再换出租车。

差点就来不及和亲戚吃晚饭。

The restuarant seemed HUGE & grand.
Uncle Raymond claimed that it's one of Shanghai's best for seafood.

看起来很豪华的海鲜酒家。

I was doing my typical tourist thing.

SNAP snap anywhere & everywhere.

AHAHA!

不管到哪儿都要拍照！

Not too sure if it was my taste bud or the food isn't that exciting.

I gave the dishes 50/100.

I'm thankful for the meal & Uncle Raymond order some chinese red wine.
Taste not bad!
There is always something new for me.

看起来好吃吗？

Check in time.

Love & hate event.

登机了。。。

Day 8

第八天

I don't have a special affliation with Shanghai,
But I just don't wanna go home.
On the other hand, Joan is all ready to go home.

还不想回家（不想面对）。

It's either i eat something sweet (happy) to cheer myself up
or I'm running away from the airport (home).

吃点田的食物，心情会好些吧。。。

All's good, I dragged my feet home.
& here am I, sharing my experiences...

回家了。。

旧爱还是最美？

我任性的出国旅行了。

大前天发生了令我大掉眼睛的人间悲剧。

为什么每一次都是这样？

天啊，我到犯了什么天地不容的错，你要折磨我！？

心痛的快死掉了！

大哭了一场。眼泪干了。

和亲友诉苦，反而被骂一顿。

昨天被他们说服我该去散心，今早匆忙买了机票。。

我还没来得及研究上海的天气什么。
星期五下午就飞了。

不知道来蓉去买的人以为我很酷，我一点也不酷。

说走就走，有点不好意思，对不起家人，丝丝的内疚。

大家都很担心我，妈妈说我是大头娃娃，唠叨凡事要小心。

看起来她比我还担心自己。

哎。。。

对不起，是逃避也好，是不乖也好，我都得要走。
透气，距离，新环境，惩罚，不管什么，对我都很重要。

第一次与朋友一同出国，不是受保护的动物，怪怪的。

虽然年纪不小了，还是会害怕，紧张。

当了某某人的保姆一段时间了，以为会勇敢些。

怎么要离开时，觉得有不祥的预感？

回家后是会有怎样的下文？

第六感？

大家都不看好？

我也模糊了。
希望我只是多心了。

令人感到心暖的小妹，抚平了我的伤口。

听到我要离开新加坡的消息后，一直吵要来送机。

分开时还抱着我不放。

她的笑声，平凡的眼神，一点也不虚伪。

说的话也都出自内心，诚恳。

小小年纪的她，所有的举动却令我深深感到心痛。

不是她做错了什么，

而是她为还没定心的某某人做了该做的事。

到头来“旧爱”还是最美。

我不应该和别人“跑了”！

我还是最爱你的！

哈哈哈。。。

想到要吃一周的中餐，我快疯了。
本身不是很喜欢中餐。
但是嫁鸡随鸡，近年来学会欣赏中餐。

小妹不爱日本餐，本来还苦恼我们的晚餐。
还好她选择了这“east-meet-west"的餐馆。

这餐吃得很开心。
人与人之间，简简单单，很好啊。
有话就说，不行吗？
我碰到的了几位朋友，知道我要去上海就马上告诉我那里好玩，
去那里要小心，身边最好有男生，等。
当然，今晚能见到婷婷，
佳熹，诗颖和我都很开心。
好久不见了，简直是超级稀客！

亲亲的亲亲

是时候该睡了，可是好舍不得。
这时想有一个依靠，能放心的依赖。
眼睛都快睁不开了。
一醒来就要去机场。
鼻子酸酸的。
有好多话想说，好多事想做。
可是我真的好累，好累。

大女人 小女人

女人，是个多话的动物。

有事没事都不断的吵闹。
什么事都能说，谈，聊。

从小事也可以画成大事。
其实不能怪女生太吵闹。

简简单单的坦白加表明。

天下无难事只怕有心人。

what the fish!

can't u just f**king make up ya mind,
& do what's needed to be done!?

argh!!!

be a man!

screw you bitches!

i hate myself!

i hate everyone!

Brunch by the sea

It's a cloudy day & still drizzling when I was headed out.
Mr Chim is nice to pick me up so I don't have to drive.

I can sit back & relax.

Initially plan was to have lunch at Mount Faber but I think better not since it might pour...

So here we are!

Prive!!

1st time in a long while that I could decided what I wanna have in a min!

It's an improvement isn't it?

Sometimes, I have to learn the hard way not to be indecisive.

I'm glad that I'm progressing...

Have you?

The strong winds are blowing from every direction & it's so hard to get hair off my face.

Bo bian lah!

Take pics in a weird posture.

Looks weird, but I don't care...

Ha!

I have to praise him!!

He's super nice & attentive + a great sense of humour...

Great service...!

A* for you dude!

Godfrey choses to have lunch, starting with mushroom soup...

I'm sticking with breakfast since I just woke up...

His hearty meal...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to agree/admit that friends are the most important people in our lives besides family.

Cos' they are ever so supportive & encouraging.

Most importantly, they don't break my heart even when we have conflicts.

I'm really thankful for all who has been listening to my whining

& giving me a pat on shoulders/ hugs when I'm wailing.

I'm sick of repeating what happened in the r/s.
In summary,

It's over.

Period.

I really appreciate YOU guys for dragging me out for supper just to make sure I'm okay

& not cooping at home & feel lousy or miserable.

For those who declared no sch/ no work just to accompany me, I LOVE YOU!

I know it's not my loss but his.

I should be glad that I stood up for myself & stop the nonsense...

& next thing on my schedule,

I'm flying off for holidays this coming Fri night!

Thank God for nice people around who invited me to join them on their leisure trip.

I deserved my break!

有那么难吗？

那时候的我一直在想，




到底依赖和恋爱到底有什么不同？




如果过去一切的一切都是我的错觉，




那过去也未免太真实了吧？

小朋友

小枕头睡衣
直到小学六年级，我睡觉时都会抱住我婴儿小抱枕/枕头。
即使我的个子已和抱枕的大小差很多了。
总是喜欢摸枕头的脚尖，圆圆又尖尖的感觉。
不自觉也常常闻小枕头的味道。
这两个小动作令我很舒服，安慰。
大人们总是不让自己的小孩吃奶嘴或一直依赖我们的小枕头，
担心我们把这些琐碎的动作变成改不掉的坏习惯。
我觉得理由应该是怕我们长不大，需要让我们学着放手学习独立。
小朋友闹一闹，哭了一阵子就忘了曾有的心爱的小枕头。
小朋友很单纯，不开心的事很快就忘了。
尤其是拥有了新事物，等。
跟自己久了的事物，

自然产生的感情也随时间淡忘了。
成人是不是一样呢？
从不喜欢的性格到生活习惯，一切一切。。。
都能接受不停的变化？
