but i reli dunno who the hell is he...
sok kiang and me!!!
the weather is reli very cold!!!!
cos we were super near the.... 江。
river... yah... river.
loo and me in front of the.... ermmm... big shit shot.
we came to a conclusion that the big shot was a flasher.
and loo is terrified to see the flasher.
we walked walked walked walked walked to the river that side.
saw this thing and find it resemble the one is singapore.
oh well, everywhere in shanghai oso resemble singapore i guess.
saw the 3 round round thing afar?
one ish the 东方明珠塔...
and the other 2 are like some sort of convention centre...
APEC or something i think...
dun reli remember after so long le....
the old old buliding on the other side of the river...
its reli reli very nice~
look at the kites!!!
they're all tied together in a line!!!
its very rare to see this in singapore to be honest...
somehow i dunno how, loo has smth against this uncle.
perhaps she likes him.
=X
ok, i'm crapping.
saw this damn ancient-yet-modern-i-dunno-what-the-hell-it-is de dragon boat.
or dragon cruise if u wan to be exact.
everyone is selling this around shanghai!
and i dunno what's so fun abt it...
kinda felt irritated when those pple approach us and expect us to buy it.
like puh-leeze. -roll eyes-
after the walkin trip along huang pu jiang, we went to nan jing lu bu xing jie.
南京路步行街。
it was meant to be a shopping trip but guess wad?
we were like given only 45 mins to walk.
oh man wtf seriously.
buay tahan loh~

all the olympics dolls stuff that i buy for them...
and myself...
omg!!!! aijisen!!!!
i have yet to try out the aijisen in china lah!
one day, when i got more money, i will go.
right now, my money are spent on: gifts. for others.
the MRT reminds of my SINGAPORE MRT!!!
although i once dreaded it cos i gotta travel from bedok to clementi everyday.
but now, i missed it.

dun look down on this shop ok...
the scissors are BRANDED de ok...
and this brand of scissors got its own museum de hoh!!!
Dun play play arh...
find this familiar??
and this looks even more familiar!!!!
the giordano and baleno here are more expensive than those in singapore hoh!!!
giordano and baleno are considered BRANDED goods to them...
so we should be contented that we have such cheap brands in singapore ok...
and this also explain why those china pple like to snatch for giordano and baleno goods when they go singapore...
after shopping at the bu xing jie, we continued shopping!!!
wen to shanghai lao jie!!!
i accidentally deleted the pic and i am too lazy to upload liao so...
hehehehe....
anyway, didnt reli shopped much...
cos my feet were hurting me that day...
but i heard that the things there were very cheap wor...
alot of pple came back with lots of bags!!!

all the dried food are on sale...
this sight is very common in china...
but in spore, u only get to see it when its CNY time!!!
and oh my~ starbucks!!!

hahahaaa...
but i'll be back sooon!
i'm a little teapot short and stout!
and i'm flying in the middle of nowhereee~
i guess blogging has really did it for it...
i'm going bonkers...
heard that the xiaolong bao at this place is damn nice...
but i oso heard that the queue is damn long...
so i didnt reli bother to go and try...
at first when i see these antique buildings i felt so amazed...
but the more i see, the more sian i get.
LOL.
wad that is reli amazing in this!!!!
i seriously have no idea wad is that...
cos u gotta pay in order to sit up there and see...
but i think the uncle is cute with that dressing of his!
and as we walked to the left, as we walked to the right,
as we walked, as we walked, as we walked, we got tired.
and tada!!!!
we came to..........
woooo!!!!
look at all the varieties of donuts they have!!!!
but too bad they dun have my double choc...
afterall i'm in CHINA...
but we suspect the boss is a singaporean!
cos he speaks damn fluent english and it sound so singapore-ish!!!
on top of that, he noe wad we were talking about when we asked him whether this donut factory has anything to do with the donut factory in spore!
he's the fat fat guy in the pic...
he's damn courteous and i seriously think that he's a singaporean lah!
after this we went for a boat ride along huang pu jiang...
yes...
we made our way back there once again...
and the weather is still against us...
it was cold ok... and misty.
it was a very bad hair day for me so i took away a lot of pics!!!
jus some that i have to comment abt...
like this.
pris is always doing this to all members of 211.
and as usual, we would all reject her, except for jasleen.
and from my facial expression, u could tell how 'tortured' i felt.
LOL.
meiting and jiamin are putting on a show...
and yunlin is filming down...
and the name is called: titanic on huangpu jiang.
the boat ride soon began and it was cold and misty and crowded.
we all decided to go to another side of the cruise, and snap some nice pictures.
or rather, pris n i were the only ones snapping pics.
i reli like this!~
rainbow colour is soooo cooool.
someone had their wedding dinner onboard another cruise!
and it happened to past by us...
below are some night scenes along huangpu jiang...
the lit up buildings.
wad we see in the day time is different from that at night...
brightly lit shore reminds me of singapore.
LOL.
seeing shanghai reli makes me homesick.
and pris and i got emo.
she was jus tryin to keep her hands warm.
reli.
she's not emoing.
and pris took this for me!!!
somehow it looked as though i was lookin that the damn tower...
and i seriously love it....
hahahaaaa.....
some damn random pic of light on the river.
dun ask me why.
i dunno either.
and this was the thingy lah!
that resemble our memorial thingy!!!
its reli reli reli reli reli reli alike lah!
the old style buildings...
compare it with that of the day time, i prefer the night one.
its sooo much nicer.
and this is the building which i think ish the nicest of all...
((:
the night scenes....
more night scenes....
and more more more night scenes...
LOL.
but it was reli very nice lah...
i wonder if this was the ancient-yet-modern-i-dunno-what-the-hell-it-is de dragon boat cruise i saw in the day time.
it does look like it though.
damn pek chek can!
so dearest 211 needs some self-entertainment.

i forgot to mention that we went to the 2nd ball...
that why we cant see anything...
and jus as we tot we were gonna leave like this,
the tour guide gave us a good news!!!
they're opening up the 1st ball!!!
and usually its not open to public de wor this area...
muahahahaa...
so we did get to see some stuff afterall...
the place we were at was this high from the ground...
i noe its blur...but cant help it!
my hands were shaking when i put my camera outside of the safety net...
and the wind was blowing real strong!
it was freaking cold!!
the view we caught from the tower... nice right?!
if only we can see it at the 2nd ball...
i think that would be a totally different view!
but still nice lah...
its reli so singapore-ish sia....
)):
the huangpu jiang loh.... the view here is much nicer...
that was the safety net i mentioned!!! and reli... the wind was very very very strong.
soo nice~
make me so wanna get home....
and soon, the tower was closing...
so we had to leave...
but we were still snapping pictures non stop lah...
and i reli think that we are damn lucky!!! cos i managed to snap this pic before we left!!!
the 2nd ball is out!!!!
and its reli beautiful!!!!!!!!!
after a tiring day, we can only head back to hotel.
i didnt took pics of the hotel room, cos i dun quite like it.
but oh well....
who cares.
and guess wad was outside my hotel room???

至少离开时还看得见完整的东方明珠塔,不虚此行啊。

“上有天堂,下有苏杭。
你们来到了杭州读书,怎么能错过另外一个人间天堂苏州呢?”
