2nd day of the 4 super duper happy days

My first night in Shanghai was good! Slept soundly, as though i was at home. In fact, i slept like a pig and i was the last to wake up in the house. By the time i opened my eyes, Dear and Hazel was already changed and Sern Siang was about to come out of the shower. (aiya, i purposely sleep longer cause i know Sern Siang still bathing mah!! okay, i know it's not convincing. Wahaha) Kudos to Miss Lim for successfully waking me up, it is a task that my Mum and Grandma still finds daunting, after 23 years. We promptly left the house at around 750 cause Hazel was running late. She studies at Traffic and Traffic starts at 830am while Fudan starts at 9am. We then went downstairs and met up with the rest of the Traffickers (Dominic, Shouzi and Sean).

The 7 of us then walked out to the main road together. Dear called two cabs. One for Fudaners and the other for Traffickers. Once on the cab, Miss Lim showed off her one of the skills that she acquired in Shanghai, lying to Cab drivers. Wahaha!! I shall not elaborate on that! You tehpok!!! Wink wink. But the main reason why Miss Lim and Sern Siang didn't want to be late was because Saturday morning's lesson was conducted by this strict teacher and it was better that we arrived early to secure a good seat (far far from her and away from her view). We didn't get the very good seat in the end. Cause we didn't arrive exactly early!! Heh. After we got down the cab, we went to have breakfast first at the South Africa Guo Tie shop. We then bumped into Ziming and Peiyu there and went to school together.

Lesson was held on the 25th storey of Fudan Twin Towers. On the way up to our classroom in the lift, we bumped into our teacher somemore!! The day's lesson turned out to be a project discussion about Chinese fastfood and Western fastfood in China. 3 groups came together to form a team and i bet the other 2 groups must be damn qi kek. Cause our group didn't contribute much, or anything at all! I only remembered something like ‘炸的很好吃’. Wahaha! Miss Lim's stomach wasn't feeling too good, so she didn't talk much. Ziming and Peiyu was engaging in their favourite activity; sleeping. And Sern Siang and I were busy discussing matters that didn't matter to anyone else except the both of us. Wahaha!! In short, the 5 of us were there only for attendance. Wait, the 4 of them were there for attendance, i was only there because there is no way i'm gonna get separated from this one girl. Wink wink.

After lessons, with recommendations from this AT in black dress, we went to this Korean restaurant near school for lunch. Restaurant food was okay, the 2 of us spent 24rmb on a soupy noodle and fried rice. I think 12-15 was the average cost for each person. Miss Lim was only allowed to take something soupy cause of her stomach. Nothing earth-shaking took place during lunch, except that we were greeted with some maggots in the stove, which luckily we didn't have to use. Ziming had a complimentary gift from the chef in his rice. A black curly hair entangled in his rice. Readers, i leave it up to your own imagination ya! Heh. Peiyu eventually got it changed for him though. But whether was it the same bowl with only the hair taken out remains a mystery!! Wahaha. That was all for lunch!! Oh ya, wait!! The Korean place got sell Dog soup also!! Maltese, Husky, Golden Retriever, Bulldog, you name it you have it!! You can even pat them and talk to them before brining them for a super hot shower in boiling water!! Oh mann!! I sound so cruel!! But i'm just kidding by the way!! There is indeed Dog soup, but i don't know if you have a variety of dogs to choose from. Anyway, we should not eat dogs!! They are intelligent animals and good companions!! But i will eat Sparky one day if he continues to pee on my bag at home!!

After lunch, my Darling decided to head back home first because her stomach was giving her some serious discomfort. Sern Siang, Ziming and Peiyu continued their day by heading to QiPuLu. This time on the cab, it's my turn to apply what i learn from Miss Lim, i tried to urge the cab driver to drive faster cause i couldn't bear to see my Darling in pain. But apparently, i'm not that good in it. The cab driver still took his time. Damn!! I should have 'ka pui' in his cab before alighting!! Wahaha!!

We got back at around 1 plus, rested and when we opened our eyes, wahahaha!! The sky completely dark alr!! We then quickly got changed and left for dinner!! My original plan was to head to Yang's Kitchen in French Concession West for dinner as recommended by Lonely Planet. We took a cab from our place and alighted somewhere near the eating place and walked. We were led into this super dark alley which was supposed to get us to the eating place. We then approached a dead end where it was super dark (actually i purposely bring her to a super dark place one, so can hold...... tightly mah!! wahahaha!!) and a scary man who was smoking alone at the end of the alley told us that it was closed down alr!! Damn!! Came so far just to realize that it was closed. But it was really a genuine error, i didn't know it closed!! Really really!! Heh. When we were walking out of the alley, another couple was walking in and we heard them say something about Yang's Kitchen too. Seems like a popular place, too bad it had closed down.

I then whipped out my trusted Lonely Planet (actually can't trust alr!! sabo me!!) and checked out another place. This time i decided to go somewhere slightly more atas, Whoampa Club situated at the Bund. Cabbed there again, took a while, and finally when we reached, oh God, it was posh mann!! There was a Ferrari parked just at the entrance (the first Ferrari i see in Shanghai). We took a lift up and when we arrived at the entrance, we decided that we should not eat there until we start working in the future!! Cause it was really expensive!! 300-500 rmb a person easily?? So we agreed that next time when we start working then we go back there and eat. Wah peh, that means next time honeymoon must stop by Shanghai! We should actually, since the Bund left me some of my fondest memories ever. =) At the ground floor of Whoampoa Club was a huge Armani boutique. Giorgio Armani to be precise!! We went in to walk a bit. Aiya, but nothing great about the clothes there lah!! All look so weird!! Wear out also let people laugh lo!! I bet if you were to use pen and write Giorgio Armani on a very long slip of toilet paper and sling it over your neck like a scarf, people will also believe that it's from Giorgio Armani!! That's how weird their clothes look!! Wahaha!

Just across Whoampa Club is the bund, just that this time we're on PuXi side. We strolled along it for a while before heading to a small eating place for some Shanghai local food. Paid 85rmb for it. Miss Lim's treat. =)) Food wasn't fantastic, but company was excellent as usual. Thank you my Dear girl. Biggest regret at the Bund was that i didn't get a portrait of Miss Lim and me drawn by those street artist! I should have got it drawn!! The next time i will!! Bought a rose from a little girl for my Darling on the Bund that night too. I know what flowers to get the next time alr!! Wink wink.

Next, we boarded a cab and head to the Grand Hyatt. Hiak hiak hiak!! Guess what were we doing in a hotel!!?? Hiak hiak hiak!! For a drink of course!! The building i guessed that was the Grand Hyatt the night before wasn't the Grand Hyatt!! Heh. The building shaped like a handle is the Financial Center. Grand Hyatt is just behind it. But close guess lah hor!! We had to change 2 (or was it 3) lifts just to get to the 87th storey of the Grand Hyatt. The bar is called Cloud9. The view was fantastic!! It is much taller than the Oriental Pearl. If you can't see what you want to see from Cloud9, you most probably can't see it anywhere else. I think we arrived at Cloud9 some time past 11 and we only left at around 130? We were the very last to leave the place!! Heh. What we did there?? Fast-forwarded as usual!! Wahaha!! We then cabbed back for the night. =)



Across Whaompa Club





Some constuction site near the bund which i thought had quite a nice backdrop with the lights on.





Two attention-seeking buildings on the bund, but they do look good. Heh
