5 weeks here and more to go
wow, time really flies and its been a month or so since I came to Shanghai and pp back in S'pore, well, it is about time for you guys to return to school, haha, I know you guys dread it, but well, part of life so just put on a smile and march on.As for me, humm, nothing much happen this week,so guess will update you guys about some of the places tt I went to. I visited Jing An Si on thursday night. It is something like our Taka, where you can find all the high end goods like Burberry, Prada......The view there is like Orchard road but one interesting stuff that you will notice is that there are many bakery over there. As you walk along the street, you can see all sorts of brand of bakery such as Fresh and Breadtalk lookalike. However, as we continued walking, we came to this alley, that looks like Bugis Village. Things there are pretty cheap, like a Billabong cap is going for 30yuan (of course it is fake, but looks genuine) and they also have AnF shirts that are going at a low price. Oh, and getting a neoprint here is just 1SGD, ha you can get exclusive service because there will be a person serving you.There are many places to shop at Jing An Si and many manicure for you to do your nails. They are all over the place. (Quite a sight!)
Next day (yesterday), I went to explore Ren Min Guang Chang myself. It was really a very different feeling because it is the first time that I am moving about Shanghai myself. Suddenly, felt refreshing.I finally had time to myself, don't have to entertain anyone, just having the time to myself. Walk at my own pace, do things I like and don't have to compromise. Pp around me love shopping and we have been doing so ever since we reached Shanghai.(As u guys know, I am not really a shopping person)So I took time off to the biggest bookstore in Shanghai(7 storey), getting some nutrients for my brain ha. The place is suppose to be posh like Kino but to my disappointment, it looks a bit like out Popular book store. Nontheless, I stood at the foreign section for 3 hours reading magazines from Fortune to Newsweek to People's magazine. After which, felt recharged. The design at the foreign section is a bit better and they have nice background music, very soothing to the ears. Guess, I will be going there pretty often.
In the night, went out with my frens to Xin Tian Di for a drink. Wanted to feel tha atmosphere there because it is known to the the ClarkQuey of Shanghai. It is a high end place with posh restaurant,bars and clubs. However, the price there is the same as S'pore However, the ambience is different because the architecture of the place is very oriental. Mostly you can see shophouses. We went into a German pub to have finger food and a drink. The mood there is good because they have a live band playing nice music.There is even a plasma screen showing pp dancing on the dance floor. It was quite amusing looking at the way pp while they r dancing.Anyway, came back at 2 am yesterday. Slept till 10am in the morning and here I am updating my blog. (ThE rest of my housemate r still sleeping.............zzz) HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!
