Went Shanghai on saturday. Was raining cats and dogs... By the time we got to Shanghai, the rain has stopped, and the weather was warmer; in fact the warmest day since my first day in China, about 14 d.c. I thought spring has come, but who knows the temperature has dropped to 0-7 d.c. again overnight, such that I did not have a good sleep last night.
We went massage in Shanghai, near to the hotel that I stayed alone on the day of my arrival, which we stayed yesterday again, cos it was value for $. Only 139 rmb per room for 2, inclusive of breakfast (buns, glutinous rice ball, hard boiled egg and soya bean milk). The massage costs me 30 rmb; cheap but wasn't up to my expectation. The masseur was more like applying lotion on my foot than a proper foot reflexology. I still miss the massage I had at Berjaya Times Square.
Went Raffles City in People's Square for dinner at Ajisen. Nice clam ramen for only 29 yuan. I guess I should quit the bad habit of converting rmb back to sgd, cos I am earning rmb now?
And I should not take taxi to work every so often, even though it costs about only 3 sgd per way? Oh! No more conversion! Today I took bus to work, for only almost 1 sgd =)
Anyhow, we went to Shanghai Technology Museum. Watched the Haunted Lighthouse at IMAX 4D theatre. Have to wear the glass, got water and other special effects too! My bag was wet after that. Costs 30 yuan for a short 15 minutes movie. I don't really like 4D, cos some parts were damn gross. Especially when it's showing countless number of rats heading in all direction, you could feel as though rats are really scuffling through your legs!
We went to the Bund too (上海滩）, but Shanghai was covered with heavy fog yesterday, with thick clouds hovering at half the height of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower (东方明珠塔).
I don't know why I had been so unlucky lately. While walking along the Bund, I tripped onto a wire on the road. Thank God I did not fall because my two mates were walking beside me and held onto my arms. Otherwise I could imagine both my retainers and teeth dropping off. Poor me, I am already short of 4 teeth compared to a normal being, having extracted them while undergoing the gruelling process of fixing braces.
Even more unlucky was that I lost my nokia phone yesterday while on the way back to Suzhou. I remembered I still used it to call dearie while on the bus, but it was gone later when ken and I had dinner near our place. Must be the stupid bitch from the immigration centre! While I was standing at the counter paying for my visa application fee just a few days ago, she shoo-ed me away using an old and tattered broom. Fuck it sia! I wondered if she's mute or uncivilised as to not knowing how to say a simple "ass-KILL me!"
Now I really have a phobia for broom. The last incident I had was at long john silver in centrepoint while revising for my exam. Both women! Jinxed! 死扫把星，看我不杀掉你！！！臭你妈的鸡！！！！！
So on overall，I don't like Shanghai! Too many people, too many cluttered buildings, and too noisy. I still think Suzhou is the best place to live in the whole of China. But of course, Tokyo is still the best. I miss Tokyo. I want to go Tokyo! Bring me to Tokyo! Oh no! Now I miss home...

This isn't a zoo, but Shanghai Technology Museum; I wonder what has this tigress gotta do with technology; but tell you what, I got a bit scared while taking this photo, cos I imagined this tigress to suddenly pounce on me! Think I watch too many movies such as the Night at the Museum liao
Omg! This time please kill me
