but before that,
funniest thing on earth:

guzheng is a
chinese INSTRUMENT, not some horny gungfu!!!!
next time bring you for music lessons la
pla don't insult ok? *shakes head*
haha
don't get offended ya? just a joke
but really it is basic knowledge what..
=)
okay, here goes:
DAY 01went to the airport at abt 10 plus, slacked at coffee bean then went to meet the rest. We boarded the plane, was so squashed in the middle that i think i might get the economy class syndrome and die! watched spanglish. freakin funny. basically don't understand what half the show is about. man. the slept awhile and finally reached shanghai 4 hours later. its better than i expected. the airport's damn nice.
then checked into the hotel. slept like some pig, then got ready for lesson. basically i just played the whole bloody song too fast cuz i was freaking nervous with so many pairs of eyes and a camera staring straight at me, haha sort of screwed it out.
then dinner at da qing hua resturant. some manchurian resturant. the food was quite nice, didn't get to eat much haha. then went to slack in hotel. slept some more.
one thing is the traffic-- crazy. i have to learn to cross the road with the traffic still ongoing. omg.
Day 02woke up. had lessons as usual. went to have xiao long bao for lunch. the eatery was good. and economical (okay dirt cheap in our case). haha then went to the orient pearl. the building is damn tall. actually shanghai has rather nice buildings. and the night view is spectacular i tell you. the lights are so bright, its a nice sight. my feet got soaked in dirty cold rainwater... yucks.
then i saw some funny sight: we saw a group of vendors running away from the police van. freaking amusing. its so rare in singapore. and they all run in the same direction. disperse man, i say disperse!! =P
Day 03last day of lesson. didn't have my lesson actually cuz i've asked what i wanted to ask already
(okay, lao shi was the one who thought of the question haha). okay after that, had lunch with the teacher (she actually remembered me. wow.) then went to take measurements for our costumes. after that we were left on our own. then went to yu yuan lu (fishball rd) bazzar for shopping. BARGAIN PARADISE!!! okay i didn't do most of the bargaining but i did learn some skills haha. bought quite alot of stuff. but i think i can shop more freely in bangkok. at least the clothes there don't look so ah lian there. went to roam in the streets of shanghai at night, had macdonald's for dinner. then slacked.
Day 04rained. freaking cold. haha spent the whole morning sleeping. then went to the hugggeee bookstore. man if only they had bookstores like this in Singapore, then i need not owe the library huge fines. haha then went to zhang shi mu's place for dinner. yum. i like her house. damn nicely decorated. and those violins. if only i can have one...
then went back to hotel. wanted to have a drink, but the water was so sucky so we decided to get some drink, we went outside in
tee and
shorts ... brrr so cold. and the look the aunties gave us was hilarious! i think i heard them screaming. haha. damn funny.
Day 05shopping. nth much. ok io saw someone in
red bra,
red underwear, stockings and a
red netted dress! and its like cold (21 degrees)-- and ugly sight. not forgetting to mention she looks like ru hua. haha.
Day 06Last day. packed my stuff. checked out at 11 plus. then we went to the cheng huang miao for a walk. all i see is people. its so packed that i can't breathe. haha ate smelly tofu (its not that smelly). couldn't stand the crowd and decided to go the zhang shi ne's place to rest. watched table tennis until i fell asleep. literally. then had our "farewell" dinner and left for the airport.
after bidding farewell the people, we slacked in the airport until 11 plus then we boarded. agn i was so unconfortable with the seat and something else and i didn't get much rest. reached singapore at about 7. went home and slept like a log till evening. =)
THE END!!!
well, this trip was quite fruitful, made me understand more about how the human mind operates and how manipulative it can be. now i think twice when i have to do some actions. you know, just just can't trust everyone right?! you have to rely on your own judgement to decide who is gd and who is not so gd.
other things aside, i've learnt more about guzheng and shanghai is a terrific place (except the way they talk, and the traffic). i don't mind coming back again, and shanghai has filled in my memories. nice place. who knows? i might come back.
ok. addidas rocks. so does LV and Christian Dior. haha.
