we are going to the zoo zoo zoo, what about you you you?

There are 2 zoos in Shanghai, one is the Shanghai zoo, and one is the Shanghai Wildlife Zoo. The later has a safari area where animals are free to roam about as if they are in their natural habitat without any cages, while the former is just exhibits. So we went to the Wildlife Zoo because it sounds more interesting. The Wildlife Zoo is actually situated quite near where we are staying so we...

It felt like I was crossing the causeway

There is a pretty place called 朱家嘴 in Shanghai. It is a water village, think Venice of the East. We initially wanted to go there, but it is really at the very very outskirts of Shanghai and probably needs like 3-4 hours to get there, so we settle for something similar but smaller called 七宝镇. Though 七宝 is an old town, it is actually situated in a quite bustling city area, it is pretty obvious ...

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

We went for Japanese buffet after we got our "scholarship" money from some government agency to finance our working stint here. Before coming, we research quite abit about good Japanese restaurants in Shanghai from dianping (equivalent to Singapore's Hungrygowhere). And we found a nice nice 居酒屋 that serves Japanese Buffet with free flow alcohol! Before anything else, a cheers to good food!...

Atlanta photos

Apparently, Chuck was playing with the camera in the hotel room one night- he caught me unaware in my usual stance of cell phone stuck to my head whilst viewing laptop ;) And...why the hell is he taking a picture of his freaky toe?? lol

hair craze

Before coming to SH, I was complaining that my hair grows sooo slowly and it is still sooo short. And also, my roots are showing from my dye and it is freaking ugly. Seeing that I am now in the land of cheap stuff, I have done a lot to my hair in this short period of time. And I am pleased with the end results! Contrary to urban legend that you can't trust the dye, the hairstylist's ...

we went to the circus!

So it was national day last weekend, and 3 Singaporeans stuck in Shanghai decided that the nation's birthday calls for a special kind of celebration! And thus, we decided to go to the circus! We were all quite excited about our circus outing, because this is the first for all of us. There is lots of comments that I am being ah-tiongnised in my dress sense and my pose, which is what I want to ...

A long eternity ago, it was my roommate last day at work and in Shanghai, and it was also the day my shoe gave up on me. introducing.... YaCong! my roommate. Together we braved the mosquitoes, killed dozens of them, braved stinky bedsheets and slept on them(my bedsheets do ...

the moon ate the sun

this is a very much overdue entry. but the eclipse was not very nice to begin with so i was not motivated to blog about it any sooner until i realize i have a backlog of entries now. The eclipse was suppose to start in Shanghai at around 9.30am plus, but when we reached our office at 9am, the sky was grey, cloudy and just not a suitable sky to view the eclipse that only comes every 300 years ...
