This blog is so stale can!! (Raven dun say "can".. haha) This lazy dear of mine cant bother to even update.. zzz.. Anyway most of the pple who come see this blog are usually my friends so ok la huh..

Kk.. first things first.. just got back from Shanghai like 3 days ago? Today is the 2nd day of school.. busy busy! Dont even have time to update blog and catch up with the busy Singapore city life!

Let me just tell you in a nutshell how the miserable yet memorable 7 weeks has passed in Shanghai.. Actually its not really in a nutshell cos there are 400 over photos i have taken.. Haha.. So i just pick "some" out.. lol

Pictures speak a thousand words but i shall guide you guys through ya..

As we were about to board the plane.. we took a grp photo.. see u Singapore in 7 weeks!! BooHoo..

Some pictures I took on the plane.. lol


The lunch I tried to eat on the plane...

Justin taking a nap during our 5-hour flight...


First look at our student hostel.. Looks clean but its not! Dusty and the doors cant be closed properly.. Sianx.. A little unpacking to help us settle down (below).


First day at work... This is one of the bridge we have to cross everyday to get to our labs...


Xiao Long Bao and Tang Bao awaits us!!
Below are some shots I took during our River Cruise..


Dong Fang Ming Zhu Tai, Shanghai's Radio Tower at the back.. We tried to smile but failed cause it was very bright at that time.. lol

Took this at ECUST campus.. Top sign says no cars allowed and the bottom signs says no horning allowed. Looks like a trumpet doesn't it.. haha

We call this place the Mango Sorbet shop.. Sells bubble tea, milkshakes, and of cos mango sorbet topped with ice cream for onli 5 yuan = S$1... Wah!

I merged 4 pictures into 1.. so pls see carefully.. haha.. This is Cheng Huang Temple.. It sells alot of Chinese traditional and modern stuff... Traditional stuff got Dragon Beard Candy which Mun is eating, & also sweets, mochi and tea! Modern stuff includes Esprit, starbucks, coffee bean.... 

This is our favourite and most missed cafe.. We call it the Aunty Shop (in chinese).. We dun like canteen food so we usually come here to eat instead.. lol.. The 3rd picture is Strawberry with condense milk on top of crushed ice.. Yums!


The day we first time played Ping Pong.. Khai and Justin doing the pose from Balls of Fury..

2nd arranged tour! This is the Old Town; Jiang Nan Gu Zhen, alot of paintings, handmade crafts, and most amazingly, handmade crafts made from leaves! See below...


One-of-a-kind picture.. Our very own World War 3.. The dryer/spinner thing was spinning so violently the whole washing machine toppled down from the platform!! Our clothes were in it!! Poor me and raven had to wash our clothes again...

The first time we went out ourselves, taking public transport.. We went to Xu Jia Hui to eat Pizza Hut!! Finally some decent food! China food is so oily and salty..

How can we forget our first birthday girl in Shanghai... Happy birthday Feng!!

Bings intro us this super far away but damn nice road side stall place.. Golden mushrooms were heavenly...! so was the fried rice and fried noodles and BBQ stuff... *BURP!*

Me and Raven's supper! Swweeet strawberries in milk!! 

As u can see from the picture.. u know whr we are.. Here we can buy train tickets and go to other parts of China..

This is Nanjing Road... Similiar to Singapore's Orchard Rd.. Look at the pple here... Like ants in an anthill...
 
Here at Nanjing Rd, cos ppl traffic is overwhelming, they have ppl traffic lights on pedestrian roads.. lol.. As if anyone wud abide by them.. zzz, esp in China..

We chanced upon the sun setting behind us and took a shot.. Nice right?

We walked to Cheng Huang Temple by ourselves this time and that's us drinking Coffee Bean.. We have already been out for almost 7 hours!!

Khai and Justin pretending to drink from the enormous tea pot... Bottoms up guys!

The Coca-Cola bottle is attached to the building.. This is Nanjing Rd.. We were heading towards home from Cheng Huang Temple...
 
Ooh... Our first birthday boy in Shanghai.. Happy birthday buddy!!! haha... The Happy birthday Raven was written by me.. and that's all our messages written on the back of a JJ poster we bought at the Mango Sorbet building.. lol..

This was taken before we surprised Raven... hehe..

2nd time we went out by ourselves.. Gu Bei Carrefore.. We had Secret Recipe for dinner.. Wah.. A sense of closeness to Singapore... They sold laksa and curry there!!

This is a glimpse of the famous Super Brand Mall.. 10 stories high with 2 wings, like vivo but much bigger! 

This is China prata... haha.. But the stalls says Taiwan Shou Zua Bing.. Anyone heard of it? It tastes like prata just that it is eaten with chili and ketchup and not with curry.. haha..

Feng and Raven taking a bite.. YUM!!!

One of cold nights in Shanghai.. The sky was so cloudy and heavy that is covered almost half of the Dong Fang Ming Zhu Tai..

The day we went to Hang Zhou: 












Few days before departure.. Outside one of the shopping malls at Xu Jia Hui:





Me and Senior Yu Yang:
Me and Senior YaYa:
Me and Senior Hu Bing:

The day before Departure.. Happy birthday to Me.. ! We all went to sing K..



Minutes before my birthday was over.. Senior Alex came all the way from Pu Dong to wish me Happy Birthday! 


Sleeping late the night before cos i had alot of things to stuff in my luggage.. Help!!


The morning before we left for the airport.. Senior Alex and Wang were there to send me off.. Thanks!!! =)
 
Our last meal at our favourite Aunty shop... =(

7 weeks passes by like a breeze when we were having fun though some China pple like to kpkb for no reason.. My mentors and seniors were all so nice and sweet.. And the aunty shop aunty.. will miss her alot too! Which is why this trip is miserable yet memorable... Aw... i miss my lab already.. and the cheap food and shopping, late night suppers and cooking and washing up and watching late night tv.. But I'm glad to be back with all my friends and family and dear!!
