The last Day of 2004...

Finally i'm back in SG!! i went overseas for a year!! Left SG in 2004 and came back in 2005. My new year spend on the plane back to SG. Saw fire works display in Shanghai..the only diff was that i was in the sky when the fire works took place. So its a look down instead of a look up. Well, for once the fire works look so small..

Saw 2 diff sets of fire works..one is in Shanghai and the other..i dunno wats the province name..but my guess is Guang Zhou cos i know the plane will fly over Guang Zhou after Shanghai.. Its beautiful to look down from the plane to see Shanghai..The entire province lights up beautifully..The expressways are fully lighted and they are like never ending roads..all leading into the horizon..its a very beaitiful sight..

Ever experience walking at a temperature of at least 2 degree wtih very strong wind just in a normal tee shirt with a jacket(those type used in SG) and jeans? Well..i did..OMG! the feeling at first was SHIOK ah! then slowly it became terrible..my entire body just shiver..The wind was so strong that it hits right into ur face. So where did this happen? In the Pudong International Airport..I think nobody wanted to go throught it but we had to take a bus out then walk up the stairs into the plane.. Our tour leader was taken back by it also cos its the first time he experienced it cos all his previous trips was through the bridge..

Okie..thats all for the airport experience..Last day was good!! Our united tour group..all shopping fanatics set out to Xiang Yang Market in the morning to get more bags!! Well..Imitation bags..but wait..its A grade imitation bags..all real leather..then they just attach the brand..i didn't buy much yah..cos i'm not those which goes for ladies hand bag..ha ha..after that we took the MRT to Xu Jia Hui..Xu Jia Hui is like another town in Shanghai..this place is like the shopping mall in that town..Its huge..much much bigger then our orchard road..we just went into one of the malls..its already like our ngee ann city...and they so many of such malls..

The exicting part comes at 5 pm..when we had to make our way back to the hotel. Getting a taxi in Shanghai is totally a different experience as compared to Singapore. The word is "fight" or "qiang" (in chinese). U realli have to run for the cab..there is no such thing as taxi stand..we waited for like 30 mins for the cab after fighting with so many other ppl. Next, getting stuck in the traffice jam..in Singapore when u get caught in the jam..u just get so pissed off..and SG jam is considered nothing when u get stuck in a jam in Shanghai..Ur heart will just drop out when time is running out and u just get stuck at the same position for 20 mins odd..and most of the roads in Shanghai is like that.

I realli love Shopping in Shanghai..bought alot alot of things..lots of clothes (but wait..they can't be worn in SG!! wahahah.. mainly to prepare for my next trip to some winter wonderland.) I think i will wanna go back there again..maybe another season..Spring should be good time!!! Can u imagine how much things we bought?? we went with 3 big luggages...and came back with 9..awesome shopping!! wahahah...

Realli enjoyed the company of the tour guide (xiao huang)..will tok about him in the other blog entries..well..more to come..You told me over the phone that u feel uneasy when i'm away. So do u feel more comfortable now that i'm home?
