1st Week In Shanghai.

As the title suggests, i have been in Shanghai for about 1 week or so.
I will be here for a 3 month attachment, so anyone who wishes to ask me out, please leave your plans till mid may.

The first couple of days has literally been hell for me as i was recovering from a fever, compound with the the icy cold conditions, it hasn't been too pleasant.

Being given this apartment to stay in where i am the only occupant for the time being but i heard 2 more people from singapore is going to join me here. Finally some company to walk around with and makan with . . .

alot of commodities around here so food and daily necessities which aint much of problem for me, even their new magnetic high speed train is right infront of me, i think i will take it when i am leaving here to go back to singapore come this may.

but the weather hasn't been all that kind to me these few days, its cold, damm cold and it rained just now . . . actually wanted to walk across the street to have my dinner but due to the coldness, i changed my mind and bought some cup noodles downstairs and went back to my apartment straight.

I am really regreting not bring more warm cloths and i really wonder what drove me to bring T-shirts here anyway . . . . must be my fever . . lolz

Right now i am wear a t-shirt, my latest LFC jacket and my dow jacket which i bought for my korea trip 1 year ago if i were to ever step out of apartment.
Thank god i still brought that dow jacket along.


let me share a couple of "firsts" that i experience:

1) You have to pay for plastic bag.
2) I am doing my own laundry
3) And boy do their commercial last damm long . . haha.
4) chinese that i have problem understanding, communications etc of of different vocabs
5) waking up early to catch the bus, has been quite sometime since i woke up at 6 plus, hahaha.
6) Staring at large servings of meals . . feel so sorry that everytime i will surely have some left over . . . with this, how am i supposed to cut down on my weight?? Geez . . . .
