OKEH, time really flies, it's week 3 already. Yesterday was officailly 2 weeks in shanghai, and things are really going smoothly! (Other than the missing sg part)
I'm sure, the friends that are here with me plays a really big part. Unknowingly, they're probably the reasons why I don't miss home that much. My days are pretty much filled with joy and laughter because of them and I'm thankful. Despite some bits and pieces of irritating and annoying matters here and there from one or two. But learning how to close an eye is the key.. My aunt left last thursday and I slept alone in the house for the first time in my life. There's really a lot of "first times" for me over here yup, and im managing it really well. *pats shoulder* At least way better than I expected..!
That day me and Vivian were just talking about how much we didn't regret coming here. It feels like.... HOLIDAY. Haha seriously other than the intern part, everything else feels like holiday. After work: explore new places to eat (go home sleep duh cos we're tired). Weekends: explore new places to eat and shop. (somemore things are cheaper) Everything is just new to us, the environment, the weather, the culture, the people, the language.. explains why it feels like a holiday! BUT i'm definitely not managing my spendings haha i'm spending quite alot... like last saturday, me and vivian took taxi as our public transport and we took 6 times!! *face palm* We are suppose to spend everything on shopping HAHAHA.
Something interesting to share:
1. We witnessed another pick pocket scene. It was like an emptied handbag. I dontknow how to explain the feeling to witness something like this, I feel scared and glad that it isn't one of us.
2. Taking the train here (during peak hours). SICK I would say.Just this morning I was taking the train to work, it was packed like mad... LIKE CRAZILY PACKED. The thing is, before the train arrives you'll be shocked to see everyone actually queue up like in hk and taiwan. BUT when the train arrives, passengers try to alight, and the last few passengers would have extreme difficulty to get out cos all the commuters are just too kanchiong to enter the train. And the queue is like not a queue anymore, people from the back push the ones infront and you automatically get into the train. NO JOKE NO FUN AT ALL. luckily i always have my laptop bag in the front to protect my boobs. my butt is just too short for anyone to touch la. And the train is packed like SARDINE. So packed that my pau and hotdog bun got flattend and my plastic bag tore. OWNAGE max.
OKIEEEE pictures time! :D
Had pancakes for brunch that day with vivian. It was better than strictly pancakes. ohhhhh how much I miss having pancakes for breakfast :D
And this was the interior, small and cosy. Mainly because most of the shophouses here are pretty small..
My tired face... hahahha
