a walk in my stilettos

Today is a wake-up-early day. The morning call at Xiao Shi Jie rang at 6:30 promptly but it went off after 3 rings. If you haven’t realised by now, the two occupants of 516 are simply dead logs when they sleep. However, yours truly is simply sensitive to vibrations and thank god that I set my phone alarm… if not, 后果将会不堪设想.

Neeways, after an oily breakfast at the ‘restaurant’ beside our hotel, we set off to do sight-seeing at the Shanghai Urban Development Center. It basically is a rough idea about how Shanghai developed from a urban city to a vibrant one it is today. We took many 欠扁 pictures. LOL. A pretty place I must say. When we saw a crowd near a machine, we went over and tried it too. It obviously cheats money is for the keen eye. Check out the video. It costs rmb3. At about 11:40, we went for brlunch. According to Xiao-zhang, all Shanghainese are used to having lunch as early as 11:30. As for us, if we have a meal at 11 already, it’s considered brunch eh. We call the restaurant ’second-floor’. It’s a very fast- paced, busy, noisy and crowded restaurant. The food’s so-so but the good thing’s that they serve 小笼包. I know there’s nothing big about eating 小笼包 but the thing is, eating it in Shanghai adds in the complete flavour. Haha. :p

After lunch, we continued our journey to the 东方明珠. A very astonishing building. Got up the building (in a lift of course) to 200+ floor but it was pretty misty (because of the bad air pollution level) hence resulting in a cannot-see-anything-much. Greatest experience though! The building’s a feat. Then, we had a half-an-hour free time. Jiale got the shades i’ve always been longing to get. I was VERY angry. LOL! Had an impromptu stroll and free time at 外滩. Like I’ve always liked 海风, this sea isn’t any exception.

Shopping at 正大广场. EEEK!!!! YAYNESS LA! Initially wanted to catch a show with mr tan, but there weren’t any nice shows at all, so we went shopping at super market. mr tan is super a pro at this. :)
and he’s extra nice, paid for all the things first. dinner at our favourite place so far. quiet. nobody. just like we’ve booked the entire place. the food’s pleasing too. appetising and the ambience says it all. took a ferry that oversees the whole 外滩. superb experience. must have tramatized the whole ferry with our choir. lol. figured out the sums at night, and realised that no matter how we pay mrtan he’s still lugi of a few rmb. sorry!

shangwen tomorrow. must sleep!

ohwell, that was rather redundant wasn’t it.

goodnities!

All the <3
